first time

Okay, after much figuring and some haggling, we've finally placed a deposit on a 2018 Wildwood X-Lite 230BHXL, from RVWholesalers. Jay (our sales rep) has been great, and even managed to get us an additional discount off of the already low OTD price (in order to beat a slightly higher, but much...

Hello all, Name's Lynn and along with my wife and son I just got done spending a month on the road in our 'new to us' 2014 Coachmen Clipper 17BH. This is our first experience with a travel trailer and so far it has been very fun and very educational (humbling at times). My wife and I have...

Hello from Michigan! We just towed home a 2017 Rockwood Roo. We have 3 kids under 12 and are in love with everything about camping. Found some great places to explore here in-state and have learned so much from reading his forum. What a great resource for someone like me who's learning on the...

I have been checking out this site since our new purchase and am loving the ideas and feedback everyone gives hope someone can help me with my problem. We just purchased a new to us 2001 Shamrock 21FR, so far I am not loving it, but it was an upgrade from our 1984 Bonair TT as it lacked a much...

Hi my hubby and I have just bought our first RV. Marty never wanted to camp much since he spent 25 years in the army " camping"! Excited for him to see what real camping is like! 🤓

We are renting a Class A for a long family trip. Our rig is a 5er, so I have some questions about being out in a Class A: MH is 35 ft, and there are 6 of us. -Do most CG have a dump station, even if they don't have full hookups? -Where else can I typically find dump stations? -Would a dump...

We are very new to the travel scene, so everything is a learning experience. Long story short I bent two of the stabilizer jacks on the right side. Since this is a brand new trailer wondering if I need to take this in to be repaired/replaced or If I can/should just replace myself. If I should...

We are picking up our 2016 slightly used Wolf Pup Saturday (tomorrow) and debating whether to actually camp that night at a campground or boondock at my boyfriend's shop. We are completely green. Any advice would be wildly appreciated.

We are taking delivery of our new 2017 Vibe 288RLS. It's being delivered to our campground and we know it is still winterized. Do I need to run bleach through the system?

Enjoying our first overnight in the new tt. So far everything has been perfect! Seems like such a step up from all those years of tenting it. Family having a blast!

Picked up our 2109s Wednesday. Drove home, parked it in our driveway, and unhitched. Today have been trying to hitch up for about an hour with absolutely no success. We have a WDH, and the bars that go from the TV hitch to the tongue appear to be greatly misaligned. Pointing too far...

I am a fairly seasoned camper. However this weekend I am camping for the first time with no hookups. Any tips or suggestions? I know I will have to watch my battery level. I will have a generator for occasional use. The other thing is I will need to fill up my water tank for the first time...

We have just purchased a 2017 Forest River Rockwood A122S A-Frame and are going into this with no knowledge of do's and don't do's. I'm sure common sense will get us along only so far. But, we are looking for tips for our first camping trip of items that are mandatory before we leave our house...
