    Tell me about how a travel trailer works in sites without hookups

    I currently have a popup and while we always stay at an established campground, we get the non hookup sites. The battery just powers the LED lights and water pump and has plenty of juice left after a week and the fridge runs off of the propane so we are good. The water tank is only 10 gallons...

    Who has gone from a popup to a travel trailer?

    My family of 4 has had a popup for the past 4 years and we really love it. It has been a great way to introduce the kids to camping and is so much nicer than a tent. It is great to keep most of the stuff in the camper when not in use and to be able to keep it in the garage and gives a nice...

    RV travel trailer heat

    I am a new RV owner and have never run the heat on our unit. Does the heat run off the propane, do you just turn the propane on then turn on the heat inside the RV at the thermostat?

    The sliding drawer under the kitchen table in my 2608BS Rockwood comes open when traveling. The magnetic lock on the rail doesn't seem strong enough to hold it. Anyone found a better locking mechanism or rail system? Thanks Wes

    How do you keep your Travel Trailer SECURE?

    We recently purchased a Wildwood X-Lite 233RBXL. This is a huge move for us as we had a 12 foot tear-drop trailer for 12 years before the "big one". Our tear drop fit very nicely in our rented storage unit. I never worried about someone stealing it. NOW, our new trailer is a bit bigger and...
