    Georgetown XL roof longevity

    Anyone have trouble with their roofs going bad? I put my 06 359ts up for sale and a guy came by with his "knows a lot about campers" son to check it out. After climbing all over it he wanted me to knock off 8 grand because the roof may need to be replaced someday due to getting brittle. The...

    Someone towing a "newer" Equinox?

    I've got a 2024 Equinox 2 wheel drive that I purchased because of its four on the ground towing ability. I and my SIL installed everything to make it towable including umbilical cable that also has 12 volt for charging battery. Shortly after buying it I received a Owners Manual update that...

    Newbie here - 2018 Georgetown 30x3 question

    So we are fairly new to this unit. I winterized following a YouTube video with no issue, but I’m not sure I returned all the valves to the proper positions. I have attached photos of my current configuration and just want to make sure these are all correct for daily use. Thanks in advance.

Upon inspection, I found an extra bulb on each side just laying...
