    Homemade Awnings for A Frame

    Are the 10x10 quick setup canopy's tall enough to cover the height of the door if placed on the side of the A frame so one can step under the canopy when stepping out of the trailer? Wonder has anyone made a homemade awning from tarp and tent poles? I came across a post of an A Liner owner that...

    A-Frame Camping trip to Vegas

    My wife and I made a trip out to the Las Vegas area for a two-night camping trip this weekend. Besides hunting, my other outdoor hobby is geocaching. My wife loves it too. We stayed in the BLM Red Rock campground. There are no hookups, but there are bathrooms. Each site has a table, a fire...

    A-Frame - Living and boating solar

    My son and I were out solar boondock camping this weekend for our first A-Frame camping trip of the new year. It is javelina hunting season in Arizona. The little desert pigs, actually peccaries, are quite a popular game animal in this state. The hunting seasons for them typically run from...

    Longest You've Camped In Your Aframe

    I was reading about folks that went full time rv'ing. It got me to thinking: What is the longest you have ever spent in your aframe camping? What is the fartherest distance you have ever pulled your camper? I would love to spend time visiting all of Texas and especially visiting every...

    Silverback a frame roofs keeping dry

    Just went on our first outing with our new cedar creek silverback 31rk and when we went to leave in the early morning hours we had water come in off the 2 A frame roofs. Any ideas out there on how to preclude this from happening. Would be really bad on a rainy day I would guess based on what...

    Air Compressor on Aframe AC?

    I bought this air compressor (below) to use with my aframe.. to top off the tires from time to time, etc. If the a122s is plugged in at home.. to a regular outlet, not a 30 amp box.. is it safe to plug this compressor into the outside outlets on the camper? I know i can turn on the lights...

    Aframe connection to CG Sewer

    I don't camp at many places with sewer hook ups at each site. But,. I do have a trip in a few weeks where sewer is available. I'm looking for a way to run the sink water drain, from my 2014 a122s, into the campsite sewer connection. I have the garden hose connection adapter on the outside...

    Aframe Tire Pressure

    Do you guys run the air tire pressure at the recommended psi on the tire sidewall? Or do you have other factors you consider? I have a 2014 a122s with the small tires.. they were "nitro filled".. I'm probably going to use free air.. what do you think?

    My son Ben and I just wrapped up a successful Arizona deer hunt. Camped out eleven days in the Rockwood A-128 on National Forest land. Just found a random clearing in the woods and parked it. Ben was able to camp just for the first three nights before work commitments demanded his return to...

    Steps I took to winterize Aframe - did i miss anything?

    Hello, I have never winterized a camper before and I want to get some feedback to ensure I have done everything properly. I am located in New York State where it gets cold in the winter by Rochester. Steps I took so far: - emptied all food items - cleaned camper inside and out - propped open...

    Closed aframe - battery charging?

    Went out to put a new propane tank cover on my a122s today. As expected, .. when I hit the electric tongue jack (just to check).. no go. I have had the camper folded down, covered and unplugged from any shore power for a few weeks. My question.. I'm going camping in 3 weeks.. how long should...

    Has anyone bought the newest AFrame 2016 A214 HW camper? My dealer just got one in and I am about to go and look at it. I wondered if anyone has one and what their thoughts were on it.

    Aframe height question

    I want to buy a TV for my a122s.. I want to set it on the end of the dining table close to the roof panel. If someone has their aframe open.. can you check the measurement between the table and the roof.. if the TV were sitting about 4 or 5 inches from the wall end of the table. I want to...

    MPG Degradation Towing my A Frame

    I have a T12RB A frame. Works fine for my wife and I. I thought it would be very economical to tow. I have been disappointed with my Dodge Dakota (6 cylinder) on my recent trip I got 10-13 mpg, a drop of about 4 mpg from unloaded. Thought that was pretty bad for a light tow. Since I have...

    Circulating AC in an aframe

    I took my 2014 a122s on the first trip a couple weeks ago. Everything is good! I did notice that, because the AC is under the bed I'm sleeping in, it seems most of the cool air ends up on the opposite end of the camper. If someone was sleeping on the dinette/bed.. they would be extra cool. I...

    Cover for AFrame A122S Unit

    I am trying to locate a solid cover for my Rockwood A122S A-frame Unit 18 foot by 8 foot wide by 4 foot tall! I contacted one local dealer who recommended a cover but it only had a 2 year warranty but it sounded somewhat quality, I believe it was a DuPont Brand but no thickness was...

    Leveling A-frame front to back?

    How do you level your A-frame hardside camper front to back? My Rockwood A122S has one axle, and I understand that one side needs to be raised to level it from one side to the other. But, I don't see info in this forum about how to level an A-frame from front to back. My hunch is that the...

    A frames gone the way of the dodo?

    Just on the Forest River website, and didn't see any listing for A frames in the current lineup. Have they stopped making them? Should I hoard replacement parts LOL? :(

    Extension cord to hook up A-frame to shore power?

    Is it OK to use one or more extension cords to hook up an A-frame to shore power at home? My A-frame is parked halfway down my driveway and would need at least one 100 ft extension cord to access power. The previous owner used a long extension cord briefly during the walk-thru at his house, but...
