first time

Hello from southern NH! I just put a deposit down today on a brand new 16BHS wolf pup for my family (husband, 5 yr old, 3 yr old). I’m super excited. We’ve always been tent campers and only camp around us (Acadia and cape cod mostly) so this TT is going to literally open up the map for us! We...

We just purchased our first motorhome last year, have worked out most of the issues a new motorhome can surprise you with, and have taken a few trips in it to learn how to live on the road for short amounts of time. We now plan on going to Florida for a few months starting in January. We look...

Just purchased a used PUP. While this our first ownership of an RV, it’s not our fist time using them. I learned a lot of things on this first purchase and wish I could do things over again, but alas I’m in it now! I had to make a 7 hour round trip adventure to get it. Pictures looked better on...

Purchased a new Flagstaff 5th wheel and haven't looked back! Over 5,000 miles in 5 months!

Just purchased a 2021 Surveyor Legend 19BHLE! First time RV owner. Anxious and excited! Took quite a while to get it. Apparently these things are in high demand and low supply with everything going on. I live near Sacramento and the closest dealer I could find with the fastest availability was...

Greetings from Colorado. Awaiting in a month or so, of a delivery of a Rockwood Geo Pro 19FD. I'm retired and an amateur photographer planning to roam the West in search of the beauty and history that is the American West. For the most part I will be boon docking; I've been a camper all my...

We just used the microwave for the first time and 15 seconds reheating food it stopped working. No power it seems and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Reset the breaker and still no light or sign of power to the microwave oven. Plan was to use the oven for the turkey tomorrow. Plan B not sure...

We have reservations in two state parks in southern Arizona this January and have a couple questions. We have been camping over fifty years with all types of RV's and have gone to Florida a few times during the winter but this is our first long term trip to Arizona in the winter. First, is a...

Hello from southwest Virginia. We just bought our first camper. I have had many cars, motorcycles and boats but never a camper. 2018 e pro Efbs

We just bought our first Forest River Wildwood 178BHSKX 2021, we love the floor plan. Spent the first 3 nights in it learning and discovering that the Workmanship from the factory is very Poor. I won't go into details just yet. But would like to know if this is common for forest River. We are...

I installed Lithium batteries in my Forester in the step well last year. We have an upcoming trip to the Sierras next week. Weather predicts snow and temperatures dropping into the teens a night. Battleborn says they will accept charging down to 24°F and discharging down to -4°F. It...

Hello all, we are brand new owners of a 2021 DX3 37BH (Bunk model w/ cabover bed). A few weeks ago we returned home from a 2.5 week "christening" adventure, driving it from the dealer in Texas back home to Pennsylvania (the long way, about a 2500 mile trek). I wanted to share my feedback, ask a...

Howdy, I almost feel guilty for joining the surge of new RV owners during the pandemic but I will not apologize for pursuing our dream of RV ownership. We are thrilled and pinch ourselves each time we wake up and see out TT in our driveway. I have been in "RV school" for over 4 months while our...

Heya, I’m going to have a go at winterizing and have a couple of questions. I have antifreeze but don’t seem to have a hose connection on my water pump, as in the picture. However, I do have two connectors on the ends of the pipes near my hot water heater. Can either of those have a...

We bought our 16FQ on Saturday and stayed in it on the way home Saturday night. We are very pleased with our setup. But as rookies, we do have questions. Black Tank - Seemed like it filled up fast for the two of us but there may have been some water in there from testing the system. Question...

We are preparing for our first trip. More excited than nervous. I am looking for a easy to follow set up check list or a video to show me the way😁. We have a Flagstaff Micro Lite, 25BDS.

Greetings, all! My wife and I are from Lacey, Washington and are taking our first steps into the RV world after about 30 years of tent camping. We just purchased this 2017 Viking 17BH and would love to get to know folks with the same or similar rig. We plan to take it for a few nights in...

We traveled to Utah's Duck Creek area to test how well boondocking our 5th wheel will perform before a longer 5 day Death Valley Boon docking trip in November. Well, other than a few issues, it was largely a success. This was a weekend trip, 2 days off grid. Issues; Power. Had to run the Honda...

i just winterized my 2020 TT for the first time by filling my water lines with AF and dumped some in my traps. I also blew out the black tank flush line, and then i read that the "city water inlet" also needs to be winterized. I did not realize it until i had put it to bed for the winter...

Hey everyone. I just decided to make separate thread for this post. Were planning a first time out trip for our trailer next weekend. Going to head down some service roads in Olympic National Forest kinda out near Port Angeles. I've heard of and seen some spots kinda near there that are past...

I own a year old Rockwood HW 277. About to make a road trip in October so started some inspection of the trailer. Heard a sound coming from one wheel and took it to my mechanic but he said it was a typical sound for electric brakes. Back home I took off the wheel and hub and checked brakes. Pads...

Hello!! New pop-up owner here. 2013 Palomino Banshee and the lift system works great with a battery drill so it appears the mechanics are all working however even with a new and freshly charged battery it would struggle to get the pop-up up and now is no longer working. This troubleshoot guide...

Hello! My name is Scott and my wife Rebecca and I are the proud new owners of a 2020 GeoPro 16BH. We live in Parker, CO. This is the first camper we have ever owned, and first thing we have ever towed. Lot's of learning going on in this household at the moment. We are starting from scratch...

Using my 2018 flagstaff shamrock 233s for the first time last night. Loving it so far. Only ran into two problems so far: 1) can’t get electric water heater to work. Hooked up water, made sure it was flowing hot and cold, outside sketch was already on, then turned on inside water heater...

2020 maiden voyage...sad given the circumstances but we’re grateful to have this time with the “C”. We are at Normandy Farm in Foxboro, MA if you are near.
