Hi Folks, We already own a Travel Trailer RV but are looking to upgrade to a 5th wheel. We have our eye(s) on a 2022 Grand Design Reflections 303RLS but would consider an older model. We have our heart’s set on Grand Design because of the quality differences we’ve seen over other Brands. We did...

Introducing myself (and family) since I have looked on these forums a little bit in the past few months for helping info on our trailer. We have a 2021 Imagine XLS 22MLE that we purchased last year and have taken it on about 4 long weekend trips until two weeks ago we were finally able to start...

Hi all! I'm brand new to rv camping and just bought a 2022 Ozark. I'm trying to figure out if the fridge runs on propane as well as electric. The online manual just says "may" operate with both. Any help is much appreciated!

Hello everyone. My wife and I are new to RVs in general, and new to full-time RVing. Our last home was 4600 sq ft, but thankfully due to my job, we have been living in hotels for the last 16 months, which has prepared us for this transition. It is us and two large dogs. 🐕 🦮 We pick up our 2004...

Hi -- Tony, Megan, and our son, Troy, here. Just got a 2021 Leprechaun 260DS. Troy has a very rare genetic disease called Malan Syndrome w/ mitochondrial myopathy, so he has a lot of special needs and is immunocompromised -- but he is an inspiring, wonderful, happy little guy. We are excited for...

Hello! My name is Brittany, dating/married to Brad since 2006/2008 and we will be full timing it out of one primary location with our 13yo daughter, 11yo son, 45+lb Aussiedoodle, and 10lb cat. We will likely travel some too, but limited to our daughter’s travel softball venues for now, as it...

Hello! I am a teacher and my hubby is an artist in NC and we are about to embark on our first cross country trip together (I’ve already gone cross country twice). We purchased the Rogue EB2 because we like to travel light. Tried towing a small camper and it wasn’t for us. Excited about our first...

My 2017 Rockwood Mini-Lite 2504S doesn’t have an onboard filter behind the water heater, so I’m assuming the PO removed it and or ordered it without a filter. I purchased a Beech Lane, and some shorter Camco drinking water hoses, but they didn’t come with hose gaskets. Is there a problem with...

Hi everyone, I've been a camper owner for two while days! Bought a 2020 261BHXL. Love it, but have a question about the tank drain (black and gray). It is really low. When backing it onto the pad, I knocked a pvc joint off. It didn't break luckily, but any suggestions? There is no way to...

I have a 2014 MiniLite 2109s. Where is the fuse panel located? Checked this forum and couldn't find an answer. It mentions it in the manual but doesn't say where it is.

Hi everybody. My name is Anna. I am a retired truck driver, 67yo, and a widow since July, 2019. Homebase is Carthage, MO which is right next to Joplin (we've always said that every trucker knows where Joplin is...lol) I've missed the road and decided to get an RV and go live on the road again...

Sorry for the elementary question - documentation and YouTube have not been 100% clear. I have a 2017 FR Salem 23RB On gas vs Elec - I assumed to run the water heater on electric I just turn the on/off switch on inside on the control panel and the gas run is the on/off outside in the...

Hi all… former tent campers…just bought our first camper to make some great memories! Will likely be seeking a lot of advice as it is just me and my little guy… pretty daunting but we already have one (short) trip under our belt and it went well (for the most part)! Lol! Cheers!

Hello forum peeps! My husband and I are new to Rv’ing. Sending out a hello to all and may the happy trails be bountiful.

New owner of a 2O12 Palamino Traverse Yosemite Pop-up camper. I am looking for any information: manual, user guide, and everything I can get my hands on. These are some elusive campers. Any idea why? Lemons? I'd like a screen room for the awning, hand crank for when the power winch goes out...

Hi all! I am very soon to become an owner of a FR Georgetown 36D7.My first ever RV. Before i do something stupid, am I correct that GCWR - GVWR = weight of toad + all the food and clothes , etc. I will load in the RV? With that in mind… do any of you have anything to help me decide what might...

Hi All, We just purchased an Salem Light/Forest Rive 171RBXL travel trailer and took it for a spin the other day. Can someone confirm that the back five upper lights (see attached picture) are reflectors and not powered lights? I can't tell. thanks, Newbie Paul

I've read the fresh water sanitizing instructions on line for the Georgetown but my rv doesn't seem to have the proper fittings. I can't gravity feed the bleach mix in because the tank inlet has a screen protector. I can't follow the process versions using the outdoor shower because it would...

Owned our motorhome for a few years. Thought the forums may answer some hard to get info about our coach. Trying to quit working too much and spend more time on the road.

Hello, First time poster here and my family and I are looking at getting the surveyor 19BHLE. And what’s holding me back is my tow vehicle is a Honda Ridgeline with 5000lbs towing capacity and 600lbs tongue weight. And was curious to see if anybody has similar ratings and is pulling it fine...

We’ve camped all of our married (53 yrs) life! We came from camping families and wanted our kids and now grandchildren to enjoy this life- from the back of pickup, tents. Numerous trailers. 5th wheel to now an expandable. We saw the Shamrock 233S at the RV show and fell for the 3 large beds and...

Hi everyone. My wife and I just purchased our first Travel Trailer and it is a 2018 Vibe Extreme Lite 258RKS. We are setting out for an extended 4 month trip to the northwest this summer. Really enjoying our new TT and the wealth of knowledge here. First thing up is changing out the Castle...

Random story... Here we were, happily living our lives in our newly purchased house north of Dublin, Ireland in a small sleepy town, when I got a wonderful job opportunity here in the US where I will work for 15 days on, and have the next 13 days absolutely care and duty free. If you're not...

Greetings! As I type this we are heading back to MN from AZ where we just picked up our new (to us) dynamax Isata 4. Can’t wait to enjoy life on the road! Does anyone have good hints for making the bed in the slide out? Very limited space on the sides does not make it an easy task!

I’ve read a lot of set up and use questions for travel trailers. Please before you pull that new beauty from the lot or from a private owners driveway. Have them explain everything to you and if something is missed please come here for those answers. The seller has a responsibility, a respected...
