Hi, new forum user and RV owner (2350LE sunseeker). We're about to take our first trip, the campsite will have zero hookups and the lows at night will be mid-20s. Much warmer days though (Sierra mountains). I am pretty sure we'll need to use gas both for the furnace and for the water heater...

I did an intro post a few days ago and I think it's time for a follow-on. I've been a member on skoolie.net for several years and was converting a full size International school bus. That is until my doctor told me I likely wouldn't be around to finish it which prompted me to make a quick...

Hello All, This is my first time owning a TT of any kind. I purchased a 2023 GD Imagine 2600RB about 4 days ago. We have it parked in a cemented RV park hooked up to the 30amp parking space and city water. During the day the fridge/freezer combo runs perfectly on MEDIUM setting. Then, when I...

Hi. We just purchased a 2019 Wildwood X-lite 263BHXL. We pick it up at the end of the month, and hubby wants to hit the road running. :) I've searched all over the web, but I can't find any info on certain things. Can anyone here help? Is the queen bed a standard queen, or is it a short queen...

First time TT owner. Planning on easing into it when we get the time. Love the camper but haven’t set it up and used it yet. Lots of looking and research before taking the plunge. It’s a 2023 Rpod 192 with added heating blankets to the storage tanks. Have purchased hundreds in accessories...

Hi everyone, we have recently purchased a 26RR and have a device that I cannot identify in the bedroom. Hoping someone can identify if for me? As well, the electric tongue jack suddenly stopped working. All other electrical devices are functioning properly. Any ideas or typical culprits...

Hello! I need some help please . New to the forum and new motorhome questions. I have a Forester 3011DS and we are on our 4th outing and the coach is full of rotten eggs odor. We are on shore power and I’ve figured out it’s the coach batteries - the are hot and sizzling. What should we...

Hey all, Jimbo G here. Never owned even a pop-up camper, usually haul the ATV'S on a trailer and then set up a canvas tent that sleeps 4. Now my neighbor has given me the RV Bug! looking to haul a CanAm 1000 outlander Max XT Limited touring machine and an RV that can sleep 3-4 folks if...

Hello, I have owned pop-ups, and a small travel trailer before, but this is my first A-Frame and I couldn't be more excited. I am picking it up, 1300 miles away on the 16th of August. I purchased a 2021 Rockwood A213HW. I am so excited to take this baby all over the country. I am sure I have...

Hello I am new to the RV Community. I just purchased a Rockwood Mini Lite 2516S in July. So far I am loving it, but have only boondocked in my driveway-a close-to-home shakeout :) My first trip is planned in a couple of weeks. I have been following the forum for a few months and finally decided...

Hey everyone! I recently traded in my Entegra Accolade 37TS for a 2022 Isata 30FW w/ Explorer package. Super excited to have something a bit smaller and easier to get around in - the Accolade was too big! I'm for sure one of the "gotta mod everything" kinda guys. I'm always doing something! In...

I am complete trailer newbie. For a month I have owned a 2021 Geo Pro 19FBS. I am towing it with 2017 Ford Expedition with the HD tow package, which is rated to tow 9000 lbs, so I didn't think the 19FBS would be a problem. But I'm finding the sway on the highway very uncomfortable at anything...

We placed our deposit in April of 2021 and just heard that our 5.0 has entered production. If the stars align we are hoping to pick it up in Sumas in mid August. Our original completion date was June 16 of 2023. After accepting every early completion date Escape would offer we were able to...

I'm in the process of getting a 2022 WILDWOOD FSX 270RTKX. I'll be towing it with a 2021 Ram 1500 5.7L V8 MDS VVT eTorque. I won't be hauling any toys or anything like that. Will be relatively similar to the dry weight. Don't know how my truck will handle it but want to get a anti-sway hitch...

I'm new to RVing, I'm looking into getting a 2022 WILDWOOD FSX 270RTKX. I've read that the stock tires it comes with are not good and are prone to blow outs... not sure if that's true, but if that's the case are these easily able to upgrade to 15in/16in? I saw a video on youtube where the guy...

We are picking up a 2018 R-Pod 179 today, from a very experienced user, but he seemed confused about my questions on the black waste tank. Our pup has a Thetford cassette potty that needs chemicals in the waste tank when used, but also has to be winterized with antifreeze. Flushing the potty...

I have a 2014 Rockwood MiniLite 2109s. On the converter's front panel there's a Battery Disconnect push-pull switch. When connected to shore power, 1) will the battery charge in both connected and disconnected modes? and if so, 2) in which mode will the battery charge faster?

Hello all, New to forums in general and looking to be a first time camper owner. With that being said looking for a help with some questions I have about a 2013 XLR 27HFS I have been looking at. In the garage underneath the window the wall is seems to delaminating on the inside. When pushing...

Okay a couple of questions related to the closing on Friday. This is info from the initial order and the final order. What is the DOC fee? What is the DMV processing fee for? Am I being charged almost $500 for these DOC & DMV fees? Seems a little obtuse to me. I am requesting comments before I...

Hi All, After a 7 hour drive we pulled into my brother-in-law's driveway and unplugged from the car and plugged the trailer into his house for the electrical. Though the house is 20 amp in the trailer is 30 we seem to be doing okay as long as we don't run the air conditioner. However I was...

Hi all! We purchased our first trailer in 2020 just as the pandemic was breaking. Luckily we live in a pretty sparsely populated area and were able to still enjoy camping. Our first rig was a Grand Designs Transcend. We had nothing but trouble, so the following year we traded up for the Sierra...

We purchased a GeoPro 19 yesterday. Should be ready in a few days. Any suggestions for newbies?
