    Texas Traveler

    We have been RV'ing for the last 20+ years. We started out with a 29' Dutchman TT for about ten years and then bought a 40' Damon DP. We traveled all over Texas, Ok, and Mo in the DP. We sold it about 3 years ago when we decided to build our "forever home". I have just completed 2 months of...

    travel with potable tank full on 2018 2606WS

    I did a search from the main FR forum and a whole bunch of cracked and leaky tank problems popped up. I posted at the Good Sams forum, and all of the replies were 'no problem'. So ... Are FR Rockwood tanks manufactured properly? Or are they bottom line, made of cheese, and prone to crack and...

    Travel trailer brakes not working

    2011 Salem, 2014 Durango TV: Just wanted to let everyone know in a general sense to not overlook “corrosion” as an issue: Originally hooked up the Salem and all the brake lights worked. Halfway (100 miles) to our campground, the brake controller read “d.c.” which means “trailer...

    Has anyone installed a Lippert 672136 Ground Control on a travel trailer?

    The 672136 is electric and looks quite ideal for a regular travel trailer. The pre-sales material makes it look easy enough. It certainly looks more practical than adding a hydraulic system, although I haven't ruled that out yet. Does anyone know from experience how well the installation works...

    First travel trailer

    Recently, I purchased my first travel trailer. It is a Gray Wolf toyhauler, 22RR. We love the trailer and have a really good time on several short trips. My concern is pulling the trailer. When I'm on the highway at higher speeds, 65-70, it occasionally feels like the rig is floating. Like a...

    Traveling with windows open

    Knowing how hot it is in Texas. When we go to our favorite campground and get set up, it is really hot for a while until the A/C’s get it cooled down inside. My question is has anyone traveled with their windows open on their 5er? Thinking maybe it would circulate some air through so it wouldn’t...

    4 door fridge travel lock.

    We have a Sunseeker 3010 with the Dometic RM1350 4 door fridge. After working through a few issues and some mods it works great, has plenty of space and we love the ice maker. The door handles/latches are quite inadequate and we are always worried the doors might fly open. So I made a travel...

    We have started looking at upgrading to a fifth wheel, some of the models we like do not seem to be available locally. Found plenty in the midwest and in the southern states. I am in California, that is quite a drive, just wondering if someone has done it and was it worth the time and effort...
