Hey everybody, my name is Dunn, Excited to join this community, hoping to learn a lot about it! Located in northern Virginia, I recently ordered a 2022 Surveyor Legend 19RBLE, picking it up on Saturday! I know best to nothing about RVing, but I’m coming from a overland / touring background so I...

Hello, Lippert axles and every video I have watched said to rotate the sprocket wheel UP to bring the shoes closer to the lining. In doing so everything became very loose. So I then reversed and went DOWN which eventually made it hard to turn the tire and I then backed off until it had just a...

Hi guys and gals new to the forum 1st time RV owner. I've had 6 vans though and so I've camped many times roughing it never had any issues but now getting too old for that. So I hope to buy one soon as I have a deal in the works.

This is a continuation of my intro post, an after action report of the first use of our new (to us) 2020 ESP232. First though, the pictures or nobody will read this post haha. It was a completely different experience from tent camping. Really the destination was the only aspect of the...

Hello, this is my first time posting. I have been in my new 2022 Salem Villa 353FLFB park model trailer for about a month now. If this in NOT the correct place to post questions/seek information, please let me know. Love the layout and all the windows but the unit is not without its issues...

Hello all, Last week we picked up a 2015 XL 40QL and are currently enjoying our first campout. I have discovered a few issues that need attention. 1). The lift cylinders for the king bed are missing. Can someone with a king sized bed please post the model number for those cylinders so I can...

Hello All, Glad to find this forum and looking forward to learning a lot from all the experiences here. I could not find a sub forum for the Forest River Aurora under the Trailers sections. It will be great to have this added and learn from the collective experiences.. Here are the Aurora models...

Hey folks! Last year we bought our first RV: 2021 Coachman Crosstrail 22XG. We have put close to 6K miles on it so far. The wife and I are about to become empty nesters and now have 4 kids in 4 states. We didn't buy this rig to camp as much as we bought it to be a super road tripper. Currently...

My wife and I purchased a 22' Salem FSX Platinum 179DBKX. Will be taking it out for the first time the 2nd week of May. I live in Michigan, so it will either rain or snow the whole time, regardless we are excited to go. Will be using our free pass at Outdoor Adventures Resorts this summer, and...

A couple months ago purchased a 2004 Coachmen Spirit of America 249QB. Upgraded from a dry/dark 1986 Starcraft pop up. Have been putting together and purchasing items to take advantage of solar. Rig came with nothing solar or any associated equipment. Purchased a Harbor Freight Magnum 100W...

Greetings from Eastern Ontario! So excited to have purchased my first trailer! A Forest River Wildwood FSX 179. Already scouring Pinterest for space saving ideas. Looking forward to camping this year.

Hello, I'm planning my first RV trip in June. I'm renting a 2021 Forest River Sunseeker Transit Van 2370TS 26'. A few questions does anyone know the MPG on this? Its a 25 gallon tank diesel. Also I'm planning on traveling from Detroit lakes MN to California (15 day trip). I want to see several...

How's it going everyone? I would appreciate any and all suggestions and input you all may have on this topic. Me and my wife are second year campers with a 26DBHBL, and we are going to be starting our season out with our heaters on full blast! We didn't exactly plan it this way, but its...

Hey Folks! Excited to be here....My wife and I have been talking about retiring and enjoying the RV lifestyle for about 15 years now. While I'm not retired yet an opportunity presented itself and we jumped. Our plan was to buy our first RV in about 2 years but a friend of a friend was selling...

We are considering cutting our summer trip through the central US and have never visited the Ozarks areas of either Missouri or Arkansas. Any tips on where we should visit/camp? We will have a dog with us.

I just bought a new WOLF PUP 16HE. We pulled it off the lot and straight to the campground. The temp was 21 yesterday morning. The unit was winterized at the dealer, but we used city water, using the sink faucet some, and the toilet. We did not use the water heater that supposedly bypassed. I...

I just bought a 2022 Geo pro FD and now a couple of days later I connected it to external 120V with the supplier power adapter and an external extension cord going to the house. Now I have a small fan running near what seems to be the heater (under the refrigerator) all the time. Is this normal...

Hello from East KY. We are first time RV owners. Proud owners of Alta 3150kbh. We love it so far. Still learning the ropes. I will probably be inquiring on this forum often for advice. Have a great day!!

Hi all Please let me know if there's a better place to look or post this. In a couple days we will be taking our Wolf Pack 365pack16 to Nevada for about 3 weeks to take care of family/estate stuff and plan on staying at a full hook up place for the duration. Weather looks to skirt along...

We just finished 5 nights of off grid camping with the last 4 in a semi covered campsite that didn't allow generators. We have 4 100 amp Alberta lithium, 2x170 watt roof mounted solar panels through the original zamp controller monitored with a Victron battery monitor. Renology 2000W inverter...

Jumping into the deep end with Riverstone Legacy 42FSKG picked up on Aug 17 2021. Pulled it from Couch's dealership in OH back to Mesa AZ with 2019 F350 dually. Looking forward to having knowledgeable resources for what I am sure will be many, many questions! Thanks in advance!

I just purchased a 2006 pop up with a Suburban SW6P. The PO had claimed that he hadn't use the WH for some time. On removing the drain plug, the anode was 100% gone... was just a plug without any sort of rod. I opened the inlet valve and turned on the pump and ran water through it. the water...

Hi Everyone, I also have lurked on this site many times and it helped me narrow down what TT we were going to buy (ended up purchasing a 2016 Rockwood). So thanks to everyone who shared information that helped me to know what I wanted. We are looking forward to enjoying our trailer as soon as...

Been a tent camper all of my life, just turned 69 and bought a used 2016 Rockwood 1640ltd. Looking forward to lots more camping.
