first time

Hey gang, Taking my 2019 Geo Pro G19FD out next week for its first trip since buying it new from the dealer. Heading to West Glacier National Park in Montana! Very excited!! But I have a couple questions... My last trailer was a pop up that did not have a hot water heater so I have no...

Just got our rv back from it’s second trip back to the factory and getting ready for our summer events. Been able to handle most of the stuff so far but since batteries can be dangerous wanted to get opinions here before I start on them. Looks like one has leaked and not 100% sure how to...

Well this was the first time we actually took the RV out. We are brand new to this and what a weekend it was. We camped up in PA for a baby shower. That weekend it hailed, snowed, rained, and very gusty. The campsite we stayed at was: Stonybrook RV resort in Lehighton, PA. (Family owned and...

Hello all, first time poster first travel trailer. After much deliberation over the last few months and going up and down in our budget we decided to go see and maybe buy a grey wolf 26djse. I started looking for reviews and found nothing but disaster stories about grey wolf and a ton specific...

Hi all, a new season of questions from me is about to start up. :) We are on a seasonal lot. I've seen some articles on dewinterizing mention bleaching the water system, and others do not. Is this recommended? We don't drink or cook with the water from the camground/RV, nor do we use the fresh...

Well we made our first fully loaded trip with the new Toyhauler. pulled it down to Bandera, tx for a bike rally. Right at 8hrs travel time for us. Pulled with 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins with factory 5th wheel setup. Used the BW ram puck 5th wheel hitch without any problems. Prior to leaving I...

Hello folks. I have been a ghost member of this forum for 2 + years now. I have learned a lot and appreciate everyone taking their time to help fellow campers. I am on my maiden adventure with my new 2019 Rockwood 2606ws. My first camper was a 2017 rockwood mini lite. The hot water heater had...

Well, it was a good night! The rain fell softly, making a sound like frying bacon. We are driveway camping to test all systems before our first trip to Gettysburg in a few weeks. Despite it being 37F all night, the 'chill chaser' heat strip I installed in my Coleman Mach 8 ultra low profile...

It is the puppy’s first camping trip. His older brother is having no problem showing him the ropes.

We took our 3010 out for the first time, went south to get some warmer weather. All in all in drove very nice for a big barge and my first time drive a 1 piece vehicle that long. Even with lots of trucks and road contractions going through st Lous it behaved very well and was easy to drive. a...

This is our first time out in our new camper. So excited, to be here at Carolina beach. Last time I was here it was in a tent on the ground. Think I like this way better😁. Subaru Outback towed this 1640 Ltd like a dream. 27 mpg at 68mph. Feeling blessed for sure.

So this will be our fort TT purchase. We are hoping to purchase within 6 months or so. We have narrowed our search down to 2 models. The Cherokee wolf pup 18to or the Salem FSX 178BHS. Has anyone had experience with either model and what do you like or dislike? I like the open floor plan of the...

Hello! My wife and I just purchased our first RV! We both have used motorhomes in the past with family but we never owner anything. We just purchased a 2019 Prime Time Lacrosse Luxury Lite 3370MB for the two of us and our 2 year old son. We plan to use it for general camping, hunting, dirt...

Where do I begin, going Saturday to sign dotted line for a Sierra 387mkok fifth wheel. This is our first RV, wanting to know what everyone thinks about extended warranties. I imagine when borrowing this is where the finance guy makes his money, which is fine if what he is selling is worth it...

So far we have stayed at State Parks in GA/SC that only have power/water hookups and a dump station, but next month we are going to AL and staying at a full hookup site. So what do I need to do this? The same hose I use at a dump station? I'm guessing I don't want to leave the dump valves open...

Hi fellow Prime Time travelers! We have finally made the jump from pop-ups and used class c rv's to purchasing a new PT Tracer 274BH TT. Look forward to following everyone's tips and tricks on the forum to what we are hoping is more enjoyable vacation experiences for the family. I figured one...

Greeting's I've been lurking in the shadows on this forum for the last couple of months, just reading thru the hundreds of posts on here, trying to get a feel for the Dynamax experience! Well, I must admit, I'm very impressed with the product, it's users and more importantly the corporate...

Saw sticky post about de winterizing but the posts are a few years old. Are instructions in general applicable to most models or do I need to do something specific for my model? Post in question: Going to dewinterize...

I just purchased a 2016 Forester 3011class c. I am planning on tailgating this weekend and won't have access to electric. Temps are going to be in the 20s overnight. I will fill my 40lb propane tank and use that for the fridge and furnace. I will charge batteries on drive 6 hours and use my...

Good day everyone. Just got a NTM 2018 Riskwood Freedom 2280and went out last night to a local state park her in Pa. (Of course we had to have a noreaster rain event come thru.) Even with the rain we had a good time but the rain did show us a big issue. We appear to have a water leak coming in...

I have a 2019 Georgetown Forest River 36B5GT5. I just plugged into an electrical outlet for the first time and I'm plugged to a 15 watt amp using a converter. When I pulled in last weekend after running my generator, I turned the generator off and plugged in and heard everything come back on...

Good evening all, Just bought a micro lite 23LB in Ohio Saturday morning and used her for the first time Saturday night at the halfway point on way back home to PA. The RV dealer winterized it before I picked it up so may just leave her that way till spring. Wife was a little perturbed we...

This will be the first time winterizing a camper for me. I have done boats for a long time with fresh and waste water systems. My plan is to drain the fresh water tank and then pump antifreeze into that and then use the fresh water pump to pump the antifreeze throughout the system. The part...
