Our experience with the two Camping World dealerships near Atlanta demonstrates the sharp differences between dealerships.... We did extensive online research when shopping for our first travel trailer (tent to popup to tt). We knew what we wanted and despite not having seen the unit, we were...

Hello from Canton, MI. We are new owners of a 2016 Coachmen Freedom Express 192rbs. We upgraded from a Coachmen Clipper pop-up to our TT. What a difference. We are hoping to learn about TT camping and maybe even share some of our knowledge from our camping history.

My wife and I have been camping in our TT for 2 years now. Never any problem until this past weekend. We have 2 ice chests we take with us. One is for cold drinks and the other for other items requiring to be cold. I always push the two chests under the trailer overnight. Well, I forgot to...

DW and I along with the 13 year old grandson just completed a ten day trip to West Virginia. Grandson decided he wanted the mountains this year instead of the beach. Let me tell you, this is a marvelous state with so many sights and adventures. From a coal mine tour to "The Bunker" at the...

Looking for recommendations for camping around Steamboat Springs for 36ft RV. Any of the campgrounds in the national forest accommodate at 36ft RV? Thanks.

2016 Forest River FR3 - 1. Have water heater button inside rv on control panel and also a button outside on the water heater.. So the question is.. The button out side do you turn that one on if dry camping to use propane or the inside the rv button? 2. Turn the water pump button on inside...

Our new Rockwood 2205s, camping at Cosby Creek, Smoky Mountain National Park.

Coworker said when I'm staying at a KOA with full hookups, it's not camping. Apparently he thinks boondocking = camping, and places like KOA is glamping. Do y'all agree?

It is that time again. Any recommendations would be appreciated. We will be in a travel trailer and enjoy tubing, fishing, and cooking! We will have one pet!

Hello all just purchased our first camper 2021 XLR Boost 335LRLE, hope to find some relaxation and do some trail riding. I am retired and wife is close to being retired. Hope to see some of this great country of ours. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

First shakedown cruise for the new TT. Spent the morning putting the SoftStart back up and then most of the early afternoon cleaning and putting our stuff into the TT for what is actually just a quick 2 night trip. Thanks to people who for unknown reasons decided to get into accidents on...

So I have officially done my first camping trip in my new 5er and 1st RV. Towing went great and smooth. Setup went just as easy as I had plenty of time to practice in my back yard prior to leaving and thanks to you all, I have developed my own checklist, (currently in my head) soon it’ll be an...

Well, where to start, always have enjoyed camping, bird hunting, and just getting out, always been a tent camper or we might step out and rent a cabin sometimes. We had made a little weekend camping trip to a place in Arkansas we like and took the grandkids with us, it rained the whole weekend...

Hi all! I camped in a tent for most of my life, but my first Rockwood was a 5th wheel, 8283ss. I had a Ram diesel with a Cummings engine and it hauled like a CHAMP! That 5th wheel was LIFE! It had everything I wanted and then some. Someone hit me in storage and it was never the same. A leak was...

Its getting worse.. Many US parks and state parks are experiencing long waits to get into. Some parks have 4 hr wait lines just to get in. Now Congress is contemplating making people get reservations to even just get in a park. Perhaps a year ahead of time we have to book a reservation just to...

Broke this out on our last trip. It was a birthday gift for my DW. I was impressed by the quality. It is made of nice thick steel, the cuts were clean and the paint was smooth. Got it from a Etsy seller. They had 'em in TT, Motorhomes and 5'ers.

Be careful of what you leave in your camper when its in CW of Concords possession. Ours was in for some warranty work and one of their employees stole our X-Box One. CW corporate called and said they were not responsible because I signed a waiver. Wait a minute, they aren't responsible for THEIR...

Bought 2020 2509s last year and picked up month ago, when we open the murfy bed for the frist time, the front glass broke:crying:. contacting with dealer.... no ideas what to do next.

I'm curious to know what you guys think about this GPS navigation device for RV's. I have a thread on here about my experience with a super steep hill and it turned into a debate about navigation vs no navigation. I didn't want my question to get buried in that thread so I posted it...

Overnight camping in Ontario is being canceled. Has anyone else had enough of this?

We waiting a bit to long to find a campground in the Mesa Verde area and most of the glamping sites are booked up. What's available is dry camping at the National Campground, Morefield, inside the Mesa Verde park. They allow generators to run 7 am to 9 pm. My question is will the stock...

I keep getting spammed with the Camping World ad that insists their inventory is low and they want to buy your rv. My gut tells me it is like the "we pay cash for your house" folks that do buy the house but at 1/2 the market rate. Anyone sell the RV to Camping World without buying another in...

Had to put my camping buddy down this weekend. 13 years of Bear being by my side has ended. He was a rescue Shepherd mix. Awesome dog and was attached to me tighter than a tick. My daughter gave a me a picture of he & I in a frame that says "who rescued who?". Which is a very fair question...

With all the RV s hitting the roads this summer looks like camping spots will be scarce. People are buying campers like crazy and with the pandemic camping will be the preferred method of recreation and lodging. Reservations are impossible for many travelers and so boondocking spots will be at a...

I have a 2019 32DS and I dry camped in it for the first time with my four kids, wife and dogs. We only planned a two night trip but by the evening of the second day the batteries were dead right around the generator quiet hours time. We had run the generator maybe an hour each day. What’s...
