We have a Sunseeker 2850S EL that was not set up with an electric brake controller by the previous owner. As we are going to tow our car, probably on a trailer because it can't be towed flat or on a dolly (thanks Honda for making things new and 'better'), we need to have the brake controller...

Hi everyone, I am new to camping so please bear with me. Last night my girlfriend and I were running a lot of appliances at once and our power went out. Immediately I figured this was either an issue with GFCI outlets or the breaker box like in a normal home. We have 2 GFCI circuits, one inside...

I recently purchased a 2018 FR3 DS30 50 Amp version. My previous RV was a 2016 FR 2401WDS so I am reasonably familiar with the Forest River systems. My hot water heater in the 2401 could be used as either electric heating or propane by turning on the appropriate switch on the convenience...
Greetings to all,

I have a cedar Creek 40 CFL, the previous owner put in a 10 gal electric water heater, just like the one I have in my house only smaller. Would this mean he did away with the original gas/electric water heater and repiped it. Thank you
We just upgraded from a travel trailer to a 5th wheel. The dealership didn't go over this topic during the walk through.
Our new 2023 Rockwood Signature has both gas and electric heat options for each of the 2 zones.
Looking for any input/advice on the pros/cons of each.
We've lived in...
I have a '16 stealth toy hauler. The fuel system fuse blew, I think because the pump gears expanded and seized. I replaced the gears and the fuse. When I turn on the fuel system the light that shows power to the system immediately shuts off and I have no power to the fuel system still. It...

I have not seen an answer on the internet and did not get a owners manual with our new tt.
Is there anything wrong with having the electric element on and turning the gas on to speed up the cycle time?
Or having the electric on and just turning on the gas just before taking a shower?
We have...
