    Camping near oceans and other salt water areas

    Are there corrosion or similar issues if camping near salt water? I’ve heard that brakes can rust and you should camp no closer than 30 miles away from such bodies of salt water. Counting on experienced campers to let me know. Thanks! ✌️

    Winter Camping

    Hey Folks, New RV'er here. I'm going to try and do a decent amount of winter camping this year as I just purchased a forest river surveyor legend. I'm wondering how I can ensure no freeze damage? I crawled underneath the camper and it's filled with foam insulation and a cover. Nothing is...

    Camping in subfreezing weather

    We are planning a trip out to Yellowstone in early October in our Grey Wolf 22MKSE. In the first couple weeks of October, the weather can be quite unpredictable there, including temps well below freezing. We'll be staying at a full hookup site for 5 nights in West Yellowstone and then try to...

    Winter camping and awnings

    Question for those in the forum. I have a camper on my property in NH that we will be winterizing and leaving on the site. During the winter we will be burning debris piles and may need to stay overnight. The slides when closed cover the heat registers in the floor so we would need to open the...

    Compressor fridge and dry camping/solar needs

    I just found out after hours and hours of research to arrive at the RV that would suit my needs. Even got a couple of quotes and ready to negotiate. Then by chance, I find out that the refrigerator is a WD-282FWDC, a compressor model, not a three way. My idea of being able to dry camp for...

    Camping World nutty emails

    After not having a new RV needing gadgets for many years, just rejoined Good Sam / Camping World. Already know all about how bad their reputation is for sales and service. But what's with the store? Browsed the catalog, showed interest in a couple products. Left without buying them. So a...

    Electric KWH charge for monthly camping

    I'm sure others have talked about this. I'm in a campgroung in Delaware. The monthly charge is $.30 per KWH. For a month I used about 700 kwh and got hit with a $210.00 bill. I complained and they dropped to $.25. Still I think this is high. What do others pay.

    Camping Excitement

    Sunday morning, camping in western VA, southwest of Roanoke. We were leaving that morning, so I opened up the awning to let it dry out. Wife and I were sitting down drinking coffee just after 8 am when the camper started to shake. I saw the awning moving, so I jumped up to close it thinking a...

    Camping Outside Yellowstone NP

    I am planning a trip to the Yellowstone area for 2021. I was hoping to stay at Fishing Bridge but it looks like they have delayed opening until the fall. On this trip I wanted to visit more of the NE section. Do any of the forest service campgrounds in the Cooke City area have electric? Are...

    Utah Camping and Trails

    We are heading to Utah in October. Been there several times and love the state. We are looking for a camping area that also has hiking and biking trails right out of the camp ground. Any ideas where to go? Thanks and safe travels to all.

    Camping next to FR3 - Bryce Canyon

    Forgot to post this pic awhile back - in May we stayed at Ruby's Inn Bryce Canyon and had one of the 'horseshoe' pullthrough spots along the road. On our last night, another FR3 pulled in right next to us! Have probably only seen 3 or 4 on the road in 12K miles, so it was fun to have another one...

    Geo Pro low (no) Water Pressure When Dry Camping

    We've been out 5-6 times this year but, all hooked up to city water. This past weekend, we were dry camping at the beach and could not get any water pressure. Yes, the freshwater tank was full and yes, the water pump was turned (and could hear it running) but, no water pressure. We did hear a...

    Camping list

    Does anyone have a good list/app that they use to be sure they take everything they need before they leave for a trip/ campsite. We're new at this so we need all the help we can get. Thanks
