Hello all. My name is Brian and I am the owner of a "new to us" 2019 Forrest River, Cherokee Alpha Wolf 29QB-L (I hope I got all that right).
We are not new to trailers (long ago we had a Coleman tent trailer with a slide; then later a we owned 36' Springdale Quad Bunkhouse for many years) and...
Well after a year of no dogs we broke our promise not to get another. Unlike our last fur babies 3 beloved beagles, were not able to travel in a car, do to car sickness issues.
Brody is an 8 week old French Bulldog. We have agreed that he will be with us everywhere we go. We are going to take...

We are new to RVLife and purchased a 2022 Forest Rive Vibe. It came with a solar panel and battery and it runs everything Ok except for AC. We have a 50W AC and have to plug in to electric to power it. I have been looking at solar generators and panels to add/supplement what came with the RV...
Picking up a Rockwood Ultralite this Wednesday. We've had a couple of motorhomes but this will be our first trailer. Good to know there is a knowledgeable and friendly community of folks around to ask advice from. Thanks for letting me hang out.
Just returned from our trip last week and I finally got around to going thru the fuel receipts. I was not unpleased with the final results.
Drove over 8,600 miles thru 17 states in 42 days and averaged almost 13 mpg.
See the details in the attached screen shot of my Excel worksheet. (some...
We just bought our first travel trailer. It's a 2022 VIBE and we love it!! We've just spent our 1st two nights in it. We're camping in the driveway until we've figured everything out. lol I need some information on accessibility. I have bad knees and will be having replacement surgery at...
It may just be me as I seem to hit all the bumps. But after driving the XL for about 6 days worth, the bedroom TV has opened up 3-4 time during travels. I can use my iPhone in self picture mode to look back and see that it has come open :) and no, I have not tried to watch TV that way!

Hello. I plan on upgrading my stock 15” tires on my 21 foot travel trailer. I’m considering getting the Toyo AT3’s. I’ve had very good luck with Toyos on my vehicles in the past and trust them but never used them on anything like a travel trailer. And I am not interested in the S/T versus LT...
We thought it would be fun to part of a travel group to go places thru the year. We were members of a ( good Sam) retired group. The rules and restrictions and ‘costumes’ required to be worn were just more that we wished to be a part of. I’m not fond of limited who can be a part, as...
What is the best product to wax my laminate side travel trailer? I’ve tried a paste wax for cars on the front to try and keep the Florida love bugs from sticking. It doesn’t seem to work well for that. I’m also beginning to notice first signs of oxidation over all.

We got a used 2015 Rockwood 8312SS travel trailer. We are going to dewinterize the trailer. It has an outside inlet antifreeze connection outside the trailer next to city water connection. Is there a valve inside I need to address? What position does it need to be? If I'm not using the city...
I already sold my home and plan to travel full-time with my large dog (great pyrenees), 6 cats, and 3 parrots (2 cockatoos and a macaw) – and JUST ME (no human companion to help) for a minimum of a year...

We got our Georgetown after our daughter and her family (grandkids) moved from Seattle to Alaska. So we're setting-out at the end of June to drive up there and spend 2 months.
We're going primarily through Highway 97. Has anyone done this drive? Anything we should be aware of, terrain-wise...
Just replaced all 4 plus spare of my 30’ travel trailer tires. (2 axle) learned a lot about raising the trailer, so that lead to the following question:
Are there instructions/guidance from the manufacturer of either the trailer or the axle system on how to properly jack up a trailer to fix a...
We will be hitting the road soon for a multi-month trip.
Any tips for staying safe on the internet while traveling?
How safe is your phone connection vs wifi spots? I know public wifi is a big, BIG danger zone. Any way to help mitigate it?
I would rather use the phone as little as possible...

Im searching for people with some knowledge about travel trailers on what companies or models would be sufficient or even insufficient for living in for what reasons, say, too cold and low insulation running the propane bill.
Looking at dealer websites isnt yielding many results for...
