    Using electric recliners while dry camping?

    Looking to upgrade from our 2006 8288 Rockwood to an Alpine 5th wheel, we noticed all the recliners seem to be all electric. So do they have an inverter so you can use them without running a generator, or doesn't anyone use their recliners while dry camping? Thinking since they convert to 24v DC...

    I have two questions about freezing conditions. My Cherokee 274RK Limited Edition has a heavy plastic sheet nylon reinforced underbelly. I have never cut into it, but, my guess from the feel is it is full of insulation. Question one, If I run the furnace on propane will it keep the water lines...

    16.8 winter camping

    Been really enjoying our 16.8 since July. Trying to continue heading out throughout this winter but even with the tank heaters on, our water system keeps freezing up.

    Winter Camping Question

    We are planning to camp over the MLK Week-end in East Central Alabama (Lake Eufaula Campground.) One night the low is predicted to be 30 degrees. Should I be concerned about pipes freezing? I currently have the camper winterized and plan to re-winterize it when we return home.

    1st. time winter camping

    Got back yesterday from our 1st. time winter camping, Breckenridge, CO one night -8* -17* with the wind chill, before we left I thought my biggest concern was that the outdoor shower was exposed to the outside, only to find out when stuff quit working how much needs to be done to winter camp.
