Background: We have been to Niagara Falls (Canada side) in 2018. We also did a day trip to Toronto, before heading back to the US. We are now on the planning stage for our next trip to Canada around June 2025. We want to visit (and camp) either Montreal or Quebec. We DEFINITELY would like to...

We have had a RecPro fake leather sofa and never again. It peeled within a couple of years and now is covered with a slip cover. Don’t ever buy their faux leather stuff. It does not last. My question is I’m looking at their cloth sofa. The cloth is made from 100% polyurethane. Has anyone...

I have a three year old 5th wheel. A soft spot (about 1 1/2 foot by 2 foot) has developed in the kitchen floor. The Dealer Service advisor said they will know more after inspection but in his experience this could cost around $12,000.00. Best case if I get that fixed is it likely to show up...

Hey All, I wanted to post this as a possible solution for anyone who is having issues with their furnace, specifically if it is blowing fuses. I recently acquired a 2015 Sandpiper 371REBH with a Suburban SF35FQ furnace. When I first tried finding the furnace setting on the Dometic...

I want to do a "background check" on someone I fear we will have to involuntarily interact with, who appears less than savory. I see dozens of website that claim to have all sorts of information on everyone. Most of them feel very scammy and slimy. There are enough similarities between many of...

The 10th digit on my vin is H, my title has 2018. What year is it

Hey all, I have a 5500 watt Onan genny that runs perfectly charging my Li Time 230ah 24v battery but when the battery is fully charged and the BMS turns off the charging, the generator turns itself off. I can restart it right away and it then runs fine. Anyone seen that before? Ideas? It...

I think it's time to replace my house batteries for a 2017 Georgetown 369XL. Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks

I have a forest river with one of the older unit directional motors. Been having trouble with my slide outs they were working, but now no matter what I do with the wish no matter which way I press the directional valve to slide a mirror out they go to them go out and one of them goes in. I have...

I built a caddy for my hitch and bars. I put runners on the bottom so the floor is above the jamb of the garage door and the full plate keeps the scuffs and dings away from the floor. When in use, there’s lots of space for the jack pad blocks. I bought a used camper with a lot of issues around...

Have a 2023 Forest River Forrester Classic 2441DS and I'm having an issue with the coach batteries not charging. It has a Way Elite Solar Controller installed but I've got a sneaky feeling it's not working. When it's plugged into shore power everything charges fine. But when it's unplugged from...

Well 20+ years of RVing and 4 trucks and 3 fifth wheels later. When we first started to RV we had no experience at all. Was told if you plan to spend allot of time in your RV get the biggest one you can tow. That advice proved to be good out 1st truck was a 2001 Duramax diesel 2500 Silverado...

Lost my saved configurations on my Xantrex 3012, and have been redoing them in the System Control Panel. I am on the auto gen start configurations and there are 15 types to choose from. Does anyone know that "Type" the Onan RV QD 8000 is with respect to Xantrex?

After our second use of our 2021 R-Pod 192 we discovered the body of the unit is detaching from the chassis. Not sure why this has happened. Has anyone had this happen to them. Could there be a chassis defect? Is there too much flex in tongue attached to the frame? We noticed the front...

I just noticed the thread talking about the California emission standards that are to take effect in 2025 was closed because the conversation became very political. Understood, those are the Forum Rules. However, since politics affects All of us one way or another 24/7/365, perhaps the Forum...

Good morning! New to the forum, we have a 2023 Coachmen Freelander 26DS that we really love. Picked it up back in April and have put a few miles on it already. It’s become our command post at triathlons and just a great little get away on weekends. We’re in the process of setting up our 2021...

I left my mh to the shop for solar panel installation(2-200w) using strut channels and adjustable angle brackets. I got a call after my cruise vacation that their tech is not comfortable doing the job and the estimated time to do it is 8 hours! The original estimate was 2-3 hours. Wth? I'll end...

I just removed my lead acid battery for winter storage; currently stored in heated basement (~60F) and plan to keep it there for the winter (4-5 months). Question: what is best course of action to keep it maintained for the winter? Hooking up to battery charger once/month for a few hours OR...

Hello, We recently purchased a used 2022 Wildwood 31KQBTS. When viewing the RV the slides were open. Now that we have it home we cannot get them to open again. When pushing the slide out button, it does make a noise that sounds powerful. We are not 100% that the battery is good, we have charged...

Well .. GoPower is sending me a new controller for free, as I am also getting a "charge temp limitation violation" notice that occurs when the battery power turned off (RV is basically sitting in a lot now). When I turn on the battery and use power, it immediately goes away. No error until I...

Closed up and winterized the family camper almost a month ago, just before the campground closed for the season. I wasn't sure if I would be doing any traveling with the little trailer before the cold weather set in so I was keeping an eye on the weather forecast for the forseeable future. The...

New here and first post. I have used the search feature on this board, but cant seem to find what I am looking for, let alone wasn’t sure where to post this. Wife and I are sold on getting a Stealth 3030SLT (in a few years) but in the meantime, I have been searching around for any mods or...

Good afternoon. I will preface by saying we let our RV sit for over 6 months without doing anything to it. My wife had a medical problem and it was the last thing on my mind to go out every month and run the systems. I got her back home and been getting her back in shape again but I am stuck at...
