first time

Hi all! My wife and I just purchased our very first travel trailer. It is a Cherokee Grey Wolf 23dbh. We are very excited!! We have two children and are looking forward to doing some camping!!! My grandparent carried my brother and I camping in a Winnebago Pop-up growing up. Those are some...

Hello Everyone, My wife and I have purchase (mortgaged) our first Motor Coach, it's a 2007 Coachman Freedom Express 26SO which had only 3,749 miles on it and the generator with 29.1 hrs, in really mint shape. This was a great find we think and are really excited about our new journey! I found...

just purchased 2015 Coachman Freelander 28QB. Got very brief overview from dealer that left me with more questions than answers. Plumbing related ?s: There are 2 t-valves on drivers side under chassis. I believe these are the gray and black water drain/flush valves. There is also a t-valve...

In our new Sabre, twice I've had the bunk house and pantry lights kill their fuse. Each time I put a new fuse in it held fine... Until this trip. Setup Monday evening and that fuse was blown. Replaced it today once camping and it immediately blew again. Tried going to a 20a(cause it's what I...

Hi Gang!! My wife and I are retired Navy, work and live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. She is not actually military, just put up with my bs while on active duty, so she gets credit. We just purchased a 2015 Roo 233S from a FRF member, good people on here, the deal was right for both...

Last week we took the first trip to the Pittsburgh area using the new Chevy 2500 TV. WOW! What a difference! Now I know why people say once you go to the dark side you'll never go back.. We set the cruise control to 60 to 65 and never heard the truck even break a sweat! Made the 300 some mile...

No joke, this just happened... We have a nice Bar and Grill by my house Detour Grill and Bar. I know the owner and they have really good food. It's in a commercial type building with a couple other business. One of the other tenants is one of those 'new-age', granola-eating churches where...

Hello out there in Forest River land. My wife and I are recently retired and after 15 years of planning to cruise on a trawler we had an abrupt change in heart and purchased a 2106 Sunseeker 3100SS. So, with the terrian trawler beside the house we are outfitting, planning and getting to know...

We registered for the FROG Rally but I have nothing that says I registered. We were camping for 5 months at the time and mail wasn't always forwarded. Do we receive something in the mail with our tickets?

I will be buying my first camper soon and I was wondering if anybody had some tips and pointers for a first time buyer. How to negotiate on a good price, what is the range of after costs, such as freight, hitch, etc. I'm looking at a 2016 coachmen apex 193bhs. So if you have had an experience...

Just bought first Rv. It's a hw 296 from forest river

We are very much ready to purchase our first motorhome, our remaining question is "How are we going to feel driving a 38' RV?" Where do you learn to drive them? Are we biting off too big of an RV? We don't want to buy one and find out we are scared to drive it. This is our last hurdle before...

We took our brand new Ultra lite to the Dover NASCAR race this past week/weekend for the very first time. I was very pleased overall. But I have two issues. The first isn't so bad and I'm sure can be corrected with some good advise from this forum's members. When your laying in the front...

Hi, my wife and I have never vacationed a lot (5 times in first 47 years of our marriage), so in 2013 we decided to buy our first travel trailer, a used 2009 Wildcat 25 foot 5th wheel. Since that time, we have visited 11 states and have enjoyed the heck out of it. What with tricking the unit out...

So I switched over to Dish at home and bought the antenna and receiver for the rv so I could enjoy all the programs without worrying about the over the air antenna picking up or how much the cg subscribes to for their cable. So, theoretically I take the coax from the Dish Tailgater and hook it...

HI will be taking first trip towing a 1995 Jeep Wrangler behind my Georgetown 360 XL, using Ready Brute tow bar. Did test run everything seems like its working as described. Jeep has a 2.5 lift which makes it 2 inches higher than the RV hitch should I get a riser. Other question is that I...

Well we were finally were able to get a weekend out with our new Vibe. Loved it. We have a couple of leaks (water heater, Somewhere under the shower) but other than that all good. Hopefully it will not take long to get a warranty fix.

We're in the process of trying to purchase a new 2015 Trilogy 36RL. This would be the first FR product for us. We've had 2 other fifth wheels and had good luck with them. Hoping for good luck with the Trilogy.

We picked up our new Wildwood 31BKIS on April 1st and have been able to use it for 5 nights already! Family loves it and we look forward to using it many more times. We have a trip to Florida planned in August from Dallas. We have not had any problems pulling the trailer to the State Park that...

I will be hooking up the water for the first time so we can understand it's workings before our first ever trip next weekend. When we turn on the water, does it automatically fill the tank that needs heated or is there something I need to do to first? Do we need to leave any faucets open to...

We are doing this tomorrow. We are pretty good at doing our other tt, but the silverback looks different. Are all the valves and such pretty much the same? Is there anything specific I should do or look for? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance, JudeAnn

I picked up my 2015 32QBBS and we've had it out 3 times already with zero issues. Last Sunday when we were packing up (in the rain of course) I decided to go ahead and fill the fresh water tank since I'll be boon-docking next weekend and we'd been running off city water. I filled the tank...

Bought a Honda EU2000i and a EU2000i companion for when we boondock. Getting ready to fire them up for the first time. Already purchased magnetic dipsticks and oil change gizmo for them. Also - thinking about adding an hour meter, as I like to know how many hours my equipment has on it, for...

My wife and I are proud owners to a new Cherokee 39P with the two queen bed set-up and we couldn't be more excited. We have a lot to learn and it looks like this forum is a great place to start. See everyone in the forums. We bought the Park Model to put at a camp site where we boat a lot. The...
