Let’s go camping!

Here is the shortish story. Forest River was being blamed for foul ups with a warranty repair to be done at the Camping World in Hope Mills, NC and I believed them that Forest River didn't stand behind their product. As it turns out Forest River did stand behind their product and CW of Hope...

I posted an earlier positive for them but want to put this one out there too. Taking care of a customer after the sale and no profit potential for them. Matthew went to bat for me when a Lippert slide awning failed shortly after warranty due to a manufacturing defect. Initially tried Rockwood...

How do you all camp with your dogs? Anyone have those fences they put up to keep their dog penned up vs. chained up?

We are planning to camp in an RV park in San Carlos, Mexico later this year. My question concerns traveling there with our dog. Does anyone have experience crossing the border into Mexico and back again with a dog? She will be microchipped and our vet will complete a health certificate but I...

I have been camping in one form or another for over 65 years. I still remember open air camping at age 5, or being in tents. Riding horses into the high country of the Sierra Nevada range for back country camping. Traveling with my parents and grandparents into Big Sur, the deserts of the...

Just curious what to expect. We are planning on going this summer but would like some input from anybody that has been to one.

Hey everyone, We want to a local RV show that was hosted by CW. At the show they had a kiosk (think it was Good Sam) that would give a quote of current RV. So we got a value of $12,300 on our 2020 Starcraft (which seems in line with JD Power). Went to a local non-CW dealer looking at a...

Just returned from the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. I have been going there since 1988. Several friends contracted Covid. We are negative after 12 days and probably got lucky. It brings up the issue of attending large gatherings that are indoors. Camping with an RV a tent or any...

My LiFePO4 conversion of my campers took a lower priority when the “too cold” to work outside weather hit. My daughter up’d the priority when she asked me about boat access only no power available camping this summer. My priority for boondocking is my cpap. Luckily my...

Finally was able to make some camping reservations for this year. Kinda thought we were gonna be stuck home, but got lucky and found a few cancellations. 4/1 13nts @ Lakeview, AR on Bull Shoals Lake 4/25 5nts @ Bull Shoals/White River State Park in AR 4/30 5nts @ Bull Shoals/WR AR 5/20 6nts @...

Hello all, not sure I’m in the correct area. We are taking our 19 FR cruise lite to KY next month. Temps may be really cold. Do I need a heated hose and any other suggestions to avoid issues if it drops to freezing ?

Anyone here RV camped at VIR before? Looking at going for the IMSA race in August and have never been to this before.

Christmas camping this year in the Florida panhandle...normally, the weather is pretty nice, but it was surely cold this week. Three nights and four days in the 2020 HW27KS at Blackwater State Park, where night temps were 18-20 degrees, and day temps were around 35. Kept the water line from...

Hi all, Unfortunately my '09 Dodge 2500 was totaled recently due to a reckless teenager (NOT MY OWN) and I am now in the market for a new to me truck. I'm struggling a little in what I'm looking for as I want to meet / exceed my needs but also not kill the wallet. I currently have the following...

We have been tent campers for several years but after some freezing weekends in the 30s and rainy weekends with downpours while tearing down/loading out, we are ready to get our first small (couple) travel trailer. Due to our towing capacity and the fact that it will just be the two of us for...

Hello , I was wonderingIf I could get some folks to honestly chime in on what the typical crowd is like at one of these Rallies . I am not new to camping at all just to FWC I'm obviously a brand new owner to a Hawk on my 2019 Ford F-250 4x4 short bed so ,I'm very...

All, It's been 6 Seasons since we purchase our Forest River Flagstaff Shamrock 23IKSS. It was our first camper and served us very well. We pulled it to Disney, Yellowstone, Acadia, Savanah and all sorts of local and regional places. It was amazing family bonding time. Our only regret is...

Just heard that Forsyth County Georgia, Shady Grove campground will have a limited number of sites available for monthly stays for January and February. Not sure of specifics or prices, but you can call the campground at 770 205-6850 for information. Sites have water and Electric 50/30/20 with...

It’s hard to believe that my parents were able to pull this all off back in the late 1950’s. My wanderlust began because of this huge trip back when I was 8 years old. We were living in Santa Cruz, CA. My parents sold our home and all 4 of us moved to our a local state park on the beach for...

Camping World in MyrtleBeach has had my 2018 Forest River Berkshire XLT in for Maintenance for almost 9 months(since January), for Minor Repairs. They’ve lost the record jacket,(I had to point out my RV in the service lot), waited on 5th Wheel parts (even though it’s a Class A), ordered the...

When I bought my '21 FR Salem 177BH I had no dreams of wintering in Alaska, but I thought I could use it a bit more of the year. It has these thick plastic panels (not cora-plast) covering much of the underbelly. The one under the FW tank bows down and is right up against that tank so I'm not...

Camping is getting tougher and tougher. I was hoping that the "covid" crowd would be bowing out by now but I guess I am wrong. This is Oregon - - similar problems in other states? https://katu.com/news/local/crowded-campsites-high-demand-cause-fights-camp-pirates

So we were camping in a state park with power only section. There was a class B ( converted van ) in the next site over. While setting up I noticed a strong urine smell, I noticed the smell every time the breeze came from that site. Two days later While having coffee in the morning I noticed the...
