    Propane accident?

    They aren't saying much about this event, but it seems like it has to have been a propane accident. I'm guessing the slideout was in and in squeezing by the range a burner was accidentally turned on. Not sure why the propane detector didn't alert the people...

    Pup Accidently Turns on Fireplace

    We have a Mini-Lite 2513S, which has a factory installed fireplace (Covenant model W914-26FT). It comes with a small remote but there are also very touch-sensitive buttons on the botton of the fireplace (about3 inches from the floor). Twice on our last campout, our pup was playing with his...

    Accidentally connected city water to antifreeze inlet

    Currently camping and we pulled our 2022 Rockwood Roo 233s in late last night when it was raining, dark, and cold. We accidentally connected the city water connection (which was using a pressure regulator) to the anti freeze inlet instead of the city water connection right next to it. The water...

    Tongue jack accident ....

    My electric tongue jack controller got damaged in a recent accident. Fortunately only the plastic cover on the top was damaged, but that included the LED light used for making hitching/unhitching in the dark a bit easier. The rocker switches for the up/down control and the LED on off were ok and...

    Accidentally reversed battery polarity; now 12v system isn't getting power.

    Palomino Gazelle G230 here. When I installed my battery quick disconnect several months back, I apparently reversed the polarity, but I did so on both the battery side and the trailer side of the disconnect, so that the polarity to the panel was not actually reversed. So then when I installed...

    Had a little accident, need a part name/number/brand

    Had a little accident. Camping in a very windy area, windsurfing. A rogue gust from a weird direction blew a sail into the kitchen window so hard it bent the arms of the mechanism that opens and closes the window when you turn the knob. It also broke the little rollers so just bending the arms...

    Theater Seats-Accidental Heat & Vibrate

    I’m probably just the last one to the party, but ever since we got our new 2021 XL with theater seats, we have constantly turned on the heat or vibration features by just resting our arms on the couch and accidentally hitting the buttons. Our friends have done the same many times. Plus, our pups...

    Accidently arcd a battery, did I fry my trailer?

    I am installing tank heater pads on my Salem FSX. It's got two batteries. I went the easiest way I know how, and simply ran a hot and ground wire from one of the batteries. Well, in doing so, I accidently arcd my wrench from positive to negative of the battery. It lasted a couple good seconds...

    RV Accident Repair Experiences Please

    So, like a dumb idiot, I had a minor accident with my 2020 Sabre 5'er in the middle of this past July. Sideswiped a parked Class C with the back corner passenger side of my 37FLH in a parking lot. Luckily, I was only moving about 5mph when it happened, so damage could've been much worse than...

    Accidentally sucked antifreeze into hot water heater

    2021 Wolf Pup 16BHS here. So, I'm pretty sure I accidentally sucked a few gallons of antifreeze into the hot water heater while winterizing it. You can probably imagine how this happened. I had drained all water out of the trailer first, including blowing it out with an air compressor so that...

    Fresh Water Tank Leak After Accident

    Our 2015 Sunseeker 2860DS was T-boned on the front passenger side the Friday of Memorial Day weekend; the impact dislodged the water line coming out of the fresh water tank, as water had saturated the bedroom carpet, and moved into the outside kitchen area. The wheel, tire, and independent...

    Saw an older class a with a toad overnighting in the inside lane of IN 227 just north of I 70 this am in the rain. Granted the road had some barricades up indicating that it is closed about 4 miles up the road for repairs, but to overnight in an active travel lane where traffic can still pass...

    Would you buy a truck that has been in an accident?

    UPDATE #1: Truck has already been sold. UPDATE #2: Different truck has been purchased. A very nice truck popped up this morning on my radar. Fits all my needs and wants. I saw the price and got excited. Then I saw the Carfax with a reported accident. Now I know why the price is $10k below...
