I have never had a trailer with a black water rinse hook up. So I hooked up the hose at the camp ground and turned it on. Within a minute I heard loud running water i ran back and shut off the hose. I attached a picture of where this water was coming from. From what I can tell this is some...

We've done plenty of camping in the past, but usually in a cabin (and once in a tent...). But this year we took the plunge and bought used 2017 Flagstaff 21DS. It's in pretty good shape, and the original owners threw in a whole bunch of starter kit stuff and add-ons. There were only a few...

We purchased a 2020 2280BHESP. After a couple of weeks of it being home I dragged it out and tried to set it up. Winch wouldn't work :eek:. So I hook up my portable battery jumper and bingo, I have power to raise the camper!!! So after it is up I tried to start the fan and turn lights on but...
