    Gas stations and GPS questions

    we have a 32 foot TT and have a question about gas stations and even RV GPS. Mostly so far we have stayed within a few hundred miles from home on our camping trips. So when I fill up I usually just fill up when the truck does not have the camper on. My question is when we start traveling longer...

    Fuel Cost and Travel Plans

    :confused: Has the recent run up in fuel cost impacted your plans? :confused: It has mine. We were going to do a cross country tour this Spring/Summer but now I'm not so sure. Maybe still go but not tow the Jeep to reduce cost a bit. I'm a V-10 gasser, not a diesel pusher so it matters.

    On board gas tank question

    We have a 2021 Shockwave 26 and when we open the gas cap for the onboard fuel tank, it sucks in some air like it is not vented anywhere. We are thinking a locking, vented gas cap may be the trick. Has anyone changed out their gas cap and if so, do you have a part number or link? We would...

    gas cap question

    I am wondering if anyone has purchased a lockable gas cap for their camper? I would like to put one on our Sunseeker Classic, as some neighborhood kids have targeted us for pranking. Fine that I have surveillance cameras, but that shows after the fact. Sure would hate to start out on a trip...

    planning on upgrading to a truck...diesel, gas or turbo?

    Hello. My wife and I currently own a 2318G popup that we tow with a 5.7L Durango. My wife would like me to buy a truck as she feels it's more suited as a camping vehicle (the Durango is her car and she likes to keep in in mint condition :rolleyes: ). Personally, I don't care much for full...

    Can I get a bigger gas tank? Should I?

    I bought my truck used so I got what I got, but I wish it came with the bigger gas tank. Gas tank holds 34 gallons which sounded like a lot to this Civic owner, but when I'm towing I run out fast. Is there such a thing as a bigger gas tank that can be done as some sort of aftermarket upgrade...

    premium gas vs. regular unleaded

    I tow with a 2018 F150 v8. Curious what you think about running regular unleaded gas as opposed to premium. My manual says to run premium for best performance and that is what I currently do but am thinking about going to regular unleaded as prices rise. Any thoughts from fellow f150 drivers...

    Wardrobe Inside Gaskets

    In our 2020 2511S. Both inside gaskets for our wardrobe slide out are constantly falling off. I believe this is due to the horizontal slide out track, mostly the upper track. Both front and rear.Knocking them off of their c channel. The front one is the biggest hassle as it is more than half...

    Running 12 volt electric lines alongside gas lines...

    Is it safe to run 12 volt electric lines alongside the gas lines? I just finished installing tank heaters to my Salem. I ran the wiring along the right side of the frame, which seemed easiest as that is where I decided to place the switch cluster inside the trailer. I drilled into the floor of...

    Gas price increase affecting your travel plans

    Hello fellow RVERS. Just wondering what is the price level that will cause you to rethink planning a 7 to 10 day trip for price and distance. Mine is $4.00 per gallon and 500 miles in distance each way max. At my 8.5 mpg it would cost me about $500 in gas and if I drove one of my cars it would...
