    Maintenance at Camping World

    I am curious. I have a 2012 Gray Wolf that Dixie Rv refused to do maintenance on due to the age. That left Camping World. I have had a previous distasteful dealing with them several years ago and the current one was no better. Do they have any good CW maintenance facilities anywhere? Where I...

    Beeping inverter even on shore power (camping now)

    Oh boy......first night out for our week vacation to the Oregon Coast is starting out less than perfect. Left home with charged batteries (2 6v) and inverter on to power our outside fridge (most outlets won’t work without our inverter on). I would have thought the trailer being plugged into...

    Forester dry camping water issues

    When dry camping with my forester 2291S I have not been able to get the water system to work. The water tank is full. I have tried the control panel switch in both water and pump positions. My batteries are charged at about 14volts. The pump never starts. Am I correct in assuming the system...

    Hot weather camping

    So we are in gulf shores for the week and it’s hot and humid. I have reflectix installed in ALL windows and the ac will not keep it below 79-82. The ac works as it should but my question is does the reflectix installed inside cabinets help any at all? We do not have daytime shade.

    Independence Day Camping (kinda)

    Pulled the camper over to the kids house for some 4th of July driveway camping. Full hook-up - our son in law doesn't do things half-way. Kinda silly, just a few miles away. But, no one will drive after a day of celebration. :trink39: Anyone else doing something "unique" this weekend? Hey...

    Camping PSA - Redbugs or Chiggers (Now I get it)

    Since this forum provides a “Learn from Other’s Mistakes” theme, thought I would add this. Camped at Charlestown State Park for a couple of weeks. Left my chair outside under a tree at night. It rained. Did not go into surrounding scrub brush trails at all. Sat in my chair enjoying a cold...

    CPAP and battery usage while dry camping

    Planning for future trips where we will not have shore power and will be dry camping. Longest we would most likely be dry camping would be 3-4 nights. I use a Phillips Dreamstation CPAP machine. I recently discovered they sell a dc power cord for the CPAP machine, and our roo 21dk TT has a 12V...

    Camping in 2 days. Help

    Hello, I have a GreyWolf 28BHKS Camper. I was getting my camper finally ready for the season today for a Father’s Day weekend getaway. I extended the slide, I didn’t see a plastic dust pan that ended up getting wedged between the camper opening and the slide. It was wedged in the middle...

    I don't think we are camping correctly.

    So we have a 2019 Roo 23BDS. Admittedly it has pretty good storage. From what I've seen of other campers in various sizes and floor plans. Pretty good. The front storage is mostly taken up with the couch/Murphy bed. It has outside storage under the huge U dinette. That's true I guess. Inside is...

    Neutral Camping World in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana

    It appears that this Camping World has picked up and left Breaux Bridge. Not even a goodbye. Anyone in the area know what’s going on. Is this a temporary closure until the pandemic is “over”? Who is taking over warranty work. Hopefully this is not another Camping World hide and seek like...

    My Flagstaff has only the self-contained black water holding tank. Has anyone found a way to convert it into a system that allows a sewer hose to be connected allowing you to take advantage of the campsite sewer connection?
