First, thanks to all who answered my first post, I have been learning a lot. My yellow sticker on the Grand Cherokee says cargo capacity is 1050 lbs, a lot lower than I expected. I weighed the vehicle at the CAT scale with just me and a full tank of gas. The GVWR is 6500 on the yellow...

I still qualify as fairly new, I guess. Question on using search, so that I don't re-ask questions abut which answers have already been posted: Is there a way to do an "entire phrase search"? For example, I want to search on "replace mattress". The only way I can see to search will give me...

Hi & so glad to find this forum! We are newbies to TT owning and are/were SO excited! We looked at used ones but couldn't find one we liked & fit in. Our sons at home with us are 16 & 23 and both over 6' tall! So, we took a look at new ones & really liked one but it was sold when we sat down...

Hey folks: Just picked up a used Thor Chateau 31E. Looking to take it on the road and chase the sun this winter through the Sun Belt and hit the PNW in the spring/summer. So many questions, everytime I dig into something I uncover a new topic to learn about, which I'll try to post in the...

Thanks to everyone for being so willing to take the time to answer our questions-we really appreciate all the advice! So after you’ve pulled in to an RV park & settled in....how do you get around the RV park and near-by sites? I know lots of RVers tow a vehicle, but we will be traveling in a...

Hello everyone, We bought our first travel trailer (2021) and forgot to ask a basic question before leaving the dealer. Typically how long will the battery run the trailer? Never had to worry about this previously as we had an RV with a generator. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

We’re thinking about buying our first RV. We like the Rockwood Ultra Light 2608BS but I’m not sure about towing with my current truck. 2018 GMC Sierra SLT crew cab with 5.3 , 8 speed automatic and 3.42 gears. Towing capacity is 9100lbs. 2608BS max loaded weight is 8750. Is this too much trailer...

Glad to join this forum where I hope to learn a lot from the experienced members. My wife and I are just now getting back into camping after nearly 20 years. We previously owned pop-up trailers, and we just purchased a 2014 Coachmen Clipper. Towing it from Indianapolis to our home just south of...

Can anyone help with electrical questions? I am a newbie in my 2015 Forest River Sunseeker. Purchased just recently. I went out on a shake-down trip. First, on night one I experienced alarm on my CO detector with lights indicating low battery. I was plugged in to shore power so this made no...

Hello, We just bought a 2020 23MK and brought it home yesterday. It was bought from an individual who bought it last year and never used it because of a sudden illness. Except for YouTube videos, we have zero experience on how anything runs. I’m hoping this community will point us in...

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...

Greetings from the far side all. I'm not yet an RV owner but have been actively researching them for about a year now. I am retired and my wife is within a year of the good life. I'm here to learn as much as possible about RVs, 5th wheels in particular before we spend hard earned dollars on one.

Hi New to Forest River forums. Should have introduced myself over a month ago. Just didn't get around to it, until now. Have owned several travel trailers in the past 20 years. Weekend and one or two week outings has been or norm until now. We just placed an order for a Signature Rockwood...

2001 Conquest Sport water heater. Where is it? Would be nice to have hot water! Another question, is the furnace electric start or do I need to manually lite it?
