    Anthem RV=Camping World?

    This may be old news, but a quick search didn't turn anything up. I read today that Camping World has apparently absorbed Anthem RV in New River, AZ, my nearest Dynamax source. I have stopped there to look at units, and spoken to several personnel. I can't speak to how they did business...

    What’s your worst part about camping

    Positive: House Of Camping (Bridgeview,IL)

    Actually bought in the spring but just getting on this site. Matt treated me well and answered all questions. Even after the sale when I had questions after using the camper for a while. Left me alone in the camper on the initial visit for this camper so I could really dig into it without...

    Lake Superior camping

    Hi all! We are thinking of taking a trip around Lake Superior in a year or two. Has anyone traveled/camped on the Canadian side? Is it worth going that way? If so, what are some of your favorite stops/campgrounds?

    Camping at Mt St Helen's

    Hi everyone! Has anyone ever camped at Mt St Helen's? Planning a family trip from Vancouver to Bend, OR and wanted to stop at St Helen's, but it would be best if we could camp in the area. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Temporary Camping Gone Bad..

    Hello Everyone! My name is Nicole. My husband & I bought a camper 3 months ago to live in on our SC property while our house is being completely renovated. WE knew nothing about campers, still only know the basics I'm sure. Two nights ago, we had lightning strike within feet of the camper...

    Winter camping experiences with Sprinter

    We are considering taking our Solera 24R (2400R) on a winter trip that will take us to temps in the 20s at night. Our rig has the arctic pack heater pads on the black and grey tanks.. I am concerned about the valves that are in their own compartment but not heated and the unprotected pex...

    Camping hasn't changed much in 70 yrs (?)

    Last night we watched this old movie from the 50's about trailer camping and it was hilariously similar to today. If you get a chance it's a good watch. The technology has changed but the human condition hasn't. The Long, Long Trailer...

    where are you camping next?

    There's something special about hybrid camping - we'll be up in Wisconsin again on Saturday and all next week. Some Devil's Lake and some Kohler-Andrae. Sure, there's all the usual reasons to be a negative nancy (and - geez - gas prices, anyone?), but still - I can't wait. Nature sounds...

    This is a continuation of my intro post, an after action report of the first use of our new (to us) 2020 ESP232. First though, the pictures or nobody will read this post haha. It was a completely different experience from tent camping. Really the destination was the only aspect of the...

    Hello, my wife and I would like to say "HELLO" to all on the forum. I have gone camping since I was 5 years old. I enjoy every minute of the camping process, prepping, driving to and from and touring the area with or 12 year old adopted dog, Homey. The best part "relaxing". ::anim_snoopy:

    Memorial Weekend Camping Trip Observations

    Went to First Landing State park in VA, surprisingly the popular park is not full on either RV or tent sites and most of the campers are from in-state. During our ~275 mi travel each way, I could count in one hand the number of RVs I pass, got passed us or going the other way. Perhaps its the...

    LFP batteries but not dry camping

    We have 200Ah of LFP batteries with 720W of solar panels, a 40A Epever solar charge controller, and a non-Li compatible WFCO 8955 converter/charger. We find ourselves camping with shore power far more often than without. Does that pose any risk to the long-term health of the batteries? Since...

    First Weekend Camping

    Bought a 2008 Shamrock and took it out for the first time (haven’t camped in 30 years). Had a blast and learned that when you connect the city water make sure the faucet in the bath is off and no drain plug in or it is truly a Forest River down the middle of the camper. Lucky I shut it off...

    alternative to Cataloochee for trailer camping in the area?

    I'd like to spend a few days around Cataloochee valley enjoying the scenery and wildlife in early October. Unfortunately, the NPS web site advises against taking a 25' trailer on the road. Ours is 25' 10". Comments about it here in FRF are inconsistent. Some took a 5th wheel; others wouldn't...
