Anyone have any recommendations on where to store/park our travel trailer when we’re not using it? Moving to LA County this summer for a year and looking for options.
My fiver will have been sitting for about a year when we next use it.
Does anyone think this time sitting immobile presents a need to lubricate the wheel bearings and zerk fittings on the shackles ahead of the usual schedule?
NOTE: Interior height is only 5'10". If you and yours are under 5'10" tall, this is a great package. Also, the camper was designed primarily for fall, winter, & spring use. As such, we DID NOT install a sink, water system, toilet, refer, or cook-top. The camper design maximizes storage and...
Does the floor have any type of non-slip coating on it? Due to ice/snow the past two weeks I have not brought my new Vibe home yet, so I can't check. I was planning on putting totes inside this compartment, but they may slide.
I currently have my 2014 FR Berkshire 400bh on shore power at an RV resort in Florida, and all batteries are fully charged. I have to put my RV into storage for the entire month of February. However, there is no power access at the storage place. I want to maintain the batteries charged and keep...
I recently upgraded from Lead acid to Lithium in my 2018 Wildwood TT and swapped out the WFCO to the AD model. It's working good but I have read that lithium batteries should be discharged to at least 50% for storage purposes. what I'm wondering is should I be discharging and disconnecting my...
After years of having the Gas Springs or Brackets fall Off of the storage compartment doors, I believe i have found a reasonable Repair. (Pictures Provided Below)
The average time of repair is approximately 10 minutes Per Door. Note: if you decide to remove the door, for easier repair, I...
Have a 2022 Rockwood MiniLite 2516. First winter and I notice that the outside storage doors popped open in the extreme cold. These doors have always been super tight and difficult to latch closed, even broke a key off it’s so tight. Issue today seems that the door latch mechanism is cracking...
I am outfitting my new 2023 Forrester 3051. Does anyone have thoughts on how to make 110 V power available in one of the basement storage areas? I would use it to power a battery charger for my electric bike battery and a charger for a couple of small tools. Thank you!
2023 Forester 3051SC.

Hello,
I am traveling and in Tucson, AZ right now.
I would like to visit Mexico for a month and store my Ford 150 and my 18 foot R-Pod 171 somewhere in the Tucson area during that time.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

We just traded in our Grand Design Imagine 2970RL travel trailer for a Forest River Sunseeker 3010DS Class C motorhome.
The TT had a large "basement" under the bedroom with room for several large, plastic storage tubs as well as a ladder, grill, blower, etc. The MH has multiple smaller...
I recently traded my 28’ Salem in for a 2280ESP. Obviously there’s a huge difference in storage areas. What do folks carry in their pop up trailer for camping?
Has anyone created more storage in bedroom of the 2506s ? I would like to use the lower corner cabinet under the tv for some shelving. The door opens and there is currently a blank panel behind it.
Has anyone added/upgraded the fuel storage capacity of a DX3? Mine is a 2017 and the wife wants me to investigate adding enough capacity to drive from central Texas to the blue ridge mountains of NC without having to fill on the way. Don’t ask why, it is not for me to question :-)
Every year I full up my 2013 Solera RV with Diesel fuel (26.4 Gals) and place into storage here in Florida. Then around six months later, I take out and travel. Today I had a conversation with a knowledgeable Diesel mechanic, and he told me due to the low sulfur fuel I was doing all wrong on my...
We are wanting to build a storage pad for a 30 ft travel trailer in our property. We can level the RV pad but the towing vehicle will be uphill to hitch up RV from the pad. Is this ok or does the tow vehicle need to be level too? Thanks.
Hello all,
For the past three seasons I've wedged the HW296 in to the garage. I love the indoor storage, other than it completely consumes space the I like to use for work and other projects.
I'm contemplating storing outdoors this season on a side yard.
Pros/Cons? If you store outdoors, do...
Recently got back into Camping in a Travel Trailer with our new Rockwood. One more trip planned before winterizing, but wanted to ask for recommendations to cover or not to cover the Trailer for outside winter storage? We are in the Richmond, VA area. If you cover, what is the recommended...
I bought a Rockwood 2608BS this year. I will winterize it and getting ready for winter. On my other trailer I always took the battery out and stored it in my basement.This trailer has a solar panel on roof but I will be covering the trailer. Do I leave the batteries in and disconnect the...
Cleaning up a 2007 FR Sunseeker 2860DS. Adjacent to the fridge is a tall, narrow, pull-out wire rack, for like storing canned goods or whatever. Rack has slides at both top and bottom but seems 'hung up', and cannot be pulled out. Must be a 'release' somewhere, but I have been unable to find...
Greetings,
We just bought a new mattress for our trailer and for the first time since we've owned it we're deciding whether or not we need to do anything to protect it from nesting mice while it's closed up for the winter. This mattress, unlike the previous one, is a "real" one, so it's a...
I have looked at some of the responses about trailer covers pro and con. I am probably in the con camp because of the moisture and the hassle.
BUT Since I store my trailer amidst a bunch of pine trees, I would like to keep the sap off the roof (as much as possible) and also the needles.
A...
Hello - we're new to camping; just bought our new camper over the summer. We're getting ready to store it for the winter (harsh here in Erie PA).
We are hoping to get covered (carport-like) storage ... not inside, but at least covered up.
Question: is it recommended to also use an RV cover...
I have a 2013 Georgetown 378xl. I shorted out the basement storage light on the driver side. The passenger side is OK. I've been searching fuse after fuse trying to find out which one I may have tripped. Is there an inline fuse that I could be missing? Thanks
