    Traveling from Dayton, Ohio to Medora, North Dakota. Would appreciate route suggestions and overnight stops suggestions. I've recently read that Indiana does not permit X-pens to be set up. Any experience with that?

    Traveling with water in tank

    50 Amp Service On Travel Trailer?

    Does anyone know why travel trailers are now coming equipped with 50 Amp service, and not 30 Amp service like it used to be? In the past, 50 Amp service was reserved for Class A Motorhomes, with specific campsites set aside for them. My 2022 Palomino Puma came with 50 Amp service. Most of the...

    Towing travel trailer compared to driving motorhome

    I imagine this has been discussed before but a quick search didn't find much discussion - especially of more recent experiences. We've been TT people for 15+ years and I admit that as my birthdays accumulate my desire to have long days towing is dropping quickly. We've thought of getting a...

    Crazy idea to wrap a travel trailer?

    We like our 2015 Windjammer but the backside fiberglass is very faded. We tried cleaning products with very little improvement. At a car show there were some beautiful wrapped vehicles. And a non profit I help with has a new bus that is wrapped. So why not wrap a travel trailer? I think...

    Home Internet Gateway when traveling

    Our motorhome has built in Winegard Air360. It has worked well for us with a Verizon SIM, but we kept exceeding the data capacity of our plan and would be throttled back for one week each month.

    So I just heard today from Forest River that after all of the poor build and quality control issues, my 2022 Palomino Puma is going home to Elkhart, Indiana to be repaired, since the water damage from the two roof leaks is extensive, and too much for the warranty dealer to handle. I have cut the...

    I have found tons of posts about winter travel and furnaces, winterizing etc. But nothing about what to do with the battery. There is also plenty about how you should store your battery inside during the winter storage period and not leave it on the trailer due to the affects of freezing. So...
