I have a 2013 Rockwood 1640LTD (i.e. 2013 Flagstaff 176). I didn't get a manual so am unsure if: a) Does shore power and my vehicle charge the battery? If so, can I just plug it in my driveway before leaving to charge up the battery? b) When I'm off the grid, how many days will the battery...

I looked for an existing thread but didn’t see anything. My pop up has a shower/toilet. The drain for the shower ends with a 1 1/2 inch female threaded end with a screw on cap. I believe this would be considered grey water, right? What do you all use to connect it to a rhino tank or the 3”...

Hello all. My first post but I’ve been lurking for a while and gaining some knowledge so thanks for all the helpful info. A squirrel chewed through my propane hose that runs from the tank to under the RV. Dealer and corporate said I’d have to get this “locally” as Forest River can no longer...
