first time

We are heading up to Sebago State Park in 2 weeks. We much prefer the sites that don't have any hookups and will be dry camping for 1 week. Here is my current set up. I just upgraded the batteries to 2 6v Trojan t105's wired in series. I also purchased a Zamp solar 160 watt portable solar...

Hello Everyone! We made the big mistake of buying a new half ton pick up this past Oct...only to find out that we want a travel trailer now. Trading the new truck in for another model is out of the question. Too big of a $$ loss. (We checked into it already). I see a ton of lightweight...

First time boondocking with the new TT. Was a great weekend! Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

We took our Shasta Oasis 18FQ out on her maiden voyage this past weekend to Highlands Hammock SP in Sebring Florida. It was only a 200 mile round trip for 2 nights. We had a blast with very little issues and learned a lot. :D

Our story... My parents (in their 60’s) recently pulled the trigger on a new Cherokee Limited 274 DBH which I must admit caught me off guard. I didn’t even know they liked the Great Outdoors let alone were going to purchase a travel trailer!? They came over for a visit in early June of this...

We have a schedule and reservations all the way from Austin on August 24 to arrive in Acadia NP Sept 15th (14 stops). After that, we are winging it...do we need to be concerned with needing to make advance campground reservations after Labor Day and / or what kind of crowds should we expect in...

Link to a YouTube video I made showing the supplies I purchased for my travel trailer when I first bought it.

Hi everyone. This weekend we'll be hooking to a "full hookup" site for the first time since we bought our trailer. Aside form what the manual tells me, does anyone have any info they can offer in Lehmans terms about procedure of running off shore water as opposed to my fresh water tank? I just...

Greetings from Kansas City Missouri! My wife and I just purchased our very first travel trailer, a 2013 Rockwood Ultra lite 2604. Super excited to get it out this weekend. Any pointers or advise for a newbie would be greatly appreciated!!

I seemed to have towed fairly well I'd D but sometimes the Rpm's would climb up to 4K suddenly, I would drop to 3 gear and no luck , it wasn't until I hit the brake then it would drop. What would cause my rpm to spike from 2500 to 4000 in the blink of an eye?? Sent from my iPhone using...

We are trying to purchase a 5er Toy Hauler and think we have narrowed our search to 2 units based on budget, weight, floorplans. However, the units, Vengeance 312A and Wolf Pack 315 are just different enough to raise questions as to quality of build and longevity of the units. The Vengeance...

Hello campers ,this is my third travel trailers (Surveyor sp200rbs),we change for that two years ago because the kids don't follow us anymore so we went smaller and dont regret it. I learned a lot reading those threads and i hope to contribute with my modest experience and be able to share with...

Hi all. I've been reading these forums for about the past month trying to get as much info as possible before our camper purchase. Ended up going with Wildwood 26bhxl. The DW and I are planning our next few summers of trips and could use some advice. For our first outing we are going to...

I recently bought the Sunseeker 2860 and am planning my first dry camping trip (a concert venue). We will be without electric plug in and water for 5 days. I want to make sure I have a few things correct: -in order to run the air conditioner and microwave I would need to use the...

Hello, all. Just last week the wife and I inherited a 2012 Coachmen Catalina Deluxe (27FBCK) with less than 250 miles on it. Needless to say I know nothing of travel trailer camping and am learning as I go. I have to go pick it up a few states away and am borrowing a friends truck to get it. I...

Well first time at a camping ground for the 4th of July ...and I find my back "fan / vent" is leaking ..and my 2017 has 447 miles on it. Not happy 😡😏

After countless days, nay, WEEKS of research, sweat, nervous anticipation and some rather restless nights, we finally hooked up the Liberty and headed off to our weekend R&R. I must say, all those emotions were put to rest after about 25 miles. The Sunseeker performed flawlessly and the...

We're heading out for our first trip in our new Grey Wolf this weekend. Any last minute advice you veterans can offer me? I bought some di-electric grease to spray in the pig tail to prevent corrosion. Good idea? Should I grease my slide out rails? They're perfectly dry. Anything I should know...

Good day just did my first modification too my RV forrester class c motorhome 3051S had to drill four holes for a screen door handle bracket. Scary because I only had the RV for less than a week

Hi everyone, Just purchased a Wolf Pup 16bhs travel trailer. We are trying to figure things out and so far it seems good. Except for backing up. Yikes. I can't believe folks make it look easy. Anyway, hello.

Hi everyone I just bought a brand new Rv expect delivery today. I am pretty excited; my idea of Camping ( 21 years retired Canadian airforce avionics technician). :)

We are first timers and looking to purchase a new TT, most likely an Oasis 310k. Any purchasing/negotiation tips you could provide would be more than appreciated! Our local dealer only has that model in 2017's. We were hoping to grab a 2016 for a better price and there are some around, but not...

Hey there, I'm Andy, from MI and I'm picking up a 2017 Grey Wolf 26BH on Thursday. Bought a boat 3 years ago and used it 4 times, so I sold it and decided this would be a better family bonding toy with less risk. Was always terrified of something blowing up in the motor and my equity...

I recently purchased a new but used 2016 Rockwood signature ultra lite 8315 diamond package. Picked it up in Minnesota and drove it 740 miles to Wyoming. About to be living in it on weekdays full time 130miles from my house where ill commute back on weekends. Although its new. I'm beginning the...
