a-frame

Hello: We are new to Aframe as we'd just sold our tent trailer (Coachman Clipper Sport 1006ST - we pull our tent trailer with 2003 V6 Highlander with no issues. Max tow weight is 3500 lb). With our new A122S, according to the spec, tongue weight is 283 lb. GVWR is 3283 lb which meant we can pull...

We are just curious as to how many of us Senior Campers own A Frame campers. We are in our second year of camping with our new A Frame and just love it. Our camping of 50+ years has taken us from an Army Tent to a large rig. We have now given up the big rig and wanted to downsize. We tried the...

Just bought a 2014 A122s.. looking forward to the maiden voyage soon. Here's a couple pics of my new2me toy.

Any folks use tie downs during hurricane warnings? I keep my trailer on a pad alongside the house. I'm thinking 75 mph winds may lift the rig. Sent from my iPhone using Forest River Forums

Feeling a bit overwhelmed right now, and hope to learn lots :eek:

Hi, I've read some of the rv checklists but many items don't apply to A-frames. Was wondering if you would be willing to share any checklist you use for trip departure, campground arrival, and/or closing up the A-frame at home. Thanks so much! ;)

I'm coming up to my one year warranty and have some items in my t19qbhw I haven't used yet an am wondering if I can check these out in my driveway. 1st off I've been out 6 times so far and haven't had any major issues. I've never filled or hooked up to water so I've never tried the system out. I...

I ordered RV Gel Wash to clean the exterior of my A-frame. I assume that the A-frame should be popped up for washing. (Or not?) What do folks use to reach the peaks? Or is it better to collapse the A-frame down when washing it? Thanks for any and all tips!

This is something I have been planning since I got the A-128. Previously I had posted about building a custom battery box and installing a solar charge controller. I have been using two portable 30 watt panels sitting on the ground, cabled to the battery box. I've been wanting to mount some...

Has anybody upgraded the 13 inch tires and wheels on their A-frame to 14 inch? Any problems with wheel well fit?

I have a new Forest River Flagstaff A frame camper. In order to fold it down I have to put the 2 sides down then raise the roof with a handle on the right side to unlatch the "A" frame at the top then it folds down on its own. The lady in the video does it with one hand no problem. This is...

Hello Forum! Although it's the middle of summer, I will be camping at high elevations next week and it's predicted that one night might get down to 30 degrees (60s/70s by day). If I have a full water tank and the hot water heater on, should I worry about anything freezing/breaking? There is...

I picked up my 2016 2306 at the weekend and I want to fit a friction sway bar to the A-frame. This means drilling 4 holes for the self-tapping bolts - will the warranty be ok? Anything else I need to know before ?

Is the ledge on the inside back of the A frame 126, over the side of the bed when its down, structural. I have a memory foam pad on the bed and leave it down always, and would like the extra 4 inches of bed space and want to take it off. But thought I check here first. Thanks, Teresa

Where are all the Aframe camper blogs especially Forest River owners blogs? I just spent several hours this morning (trying not to wake the queen up) looking up aframe camping blogs and found a few but 99% of them were for Aliner, a couple for Chateau and I found one for Forest River. Yea, I...

I have a t19qbhw 2015. I noticed that the small counter space behind the stove gets quite warm. I'm pretty sure it's from the heat put out by the fridge just below it. I don't u the stove but was storing my meds back there and now decided against it. I also noticed water dripping in the front...

My wife and I started camping in 2010 with a very nice FR PUP. I think it was a 227 - 14 foot box, king on one end, queen on the other. Plenty of space, but a hassle to set up and take down - especially if it rained. We then upgraded to a V-lite 21WRS. Perfect camper in every way for the two...

Some photos from Riverside State Park, WA. Campground is along the river. A popular area for floats, biking, hiking too. On a glamp with my Sisters (Sisters On The Fly) - got a call there was a sight open with minimal notice. Good thing I keep the A-Frame packed and ready for its next...

Some time ago I came across a post but not positive that someone had placed reflectix inside their bubble windows to help when it was hot outside and to cool the inside more. Has anyone heard of this before?

I haven't seen many A-Frame trip posts lately, so I think I will share some pix for my fellow A-Frame enthusiasts' enjoyment. My Rockwood A128 at Mather campground at the Grand Canyon: (There's another Rockwood in the background, a tent camper, but I didn't get the exact model.) The...

Hello..new to camping and new to campers. Thought about buying a pop up but walked on a a frame and like it much better even tho losing room. SO... Looking at a 2012 Rockwood A122BH a frame.. Dealer asking $8995 plus 6 percent sales tax, title (208.50) and dealer prep $199. Unit is in great...

Just a photo to share with fellow A-Framers to show the damage done to my microwave when the campground had a power spike. I was on a solo trip with my women's camp group at a popular campground. I was in and out of the A-Frame thru the day and did not discover this until that evening when I...

Has anyone made or had made a custom awning for their A-Frame? I'm thinking of trying it with an inexpensive tarp to test size and fastening it to my camper. I have a new/unused awning/add-a-room, but don't want the hassle of putting it up. A simple roof attachment (Velcro) and 2-3 poles with...

I decided that for cool weather camping that adding some insulation to the floor would be very nice. Standing on the linoleum-on-wood floor in my socks when temps were in the 40's convinced me of that. At Lowes I picked up 12 feet of grey anti-fatigue mat. This mat is 3 feet wide. It turns...

Hi We bought a Flagstaff Aframe popup last week and today discovered the power hydraulics to open the top are not working. We are plugged into electric and all is working inside but lift doesn't work. Anyone have similar issue please. We are newbies so really appreciate any insights.
