    Travel With 2 Cats and 3 Kids in a Pickup?

    I am looking for some ideas to accommodate two cats and three kids in a pickup truck. We tow a 30 foot TT and I am thinking about upgrading my TV from an SUV to a pickup.

    Traveling from VA to KY

    All, we are a bit new to this RV lifestyle and are heading out on a trip to KY in our FR Georgetown. What we are not sure of is the best route to take I.e. up 64 and through the mountains or down through NC and up through the bottom of KY? Bottom line, we aren’t sure how she will do going over...

    Pilot Flying J Travel Center #700 Lake Township, OH (near Perrysburg)

    Anyone have any experience at this location with the dump site, rv lanes, potable water, etc? I believe this one is supposed to have all of that, what I primarily interested in is if the potable water can be threaded onto the fresh water fill on the back of my trailer, or if it is just a...

    Ideas on traveling with 5 bikes

    We are a family of 5 and will be heading out on our first trip this coming Friday. I was wondering if any of you had any ideas on the best way to take 5 bikes with us. I know that the back rack is only rated for 200 lbs so I think that I can put the kids' 3 bikes on that. I can take the front...

    Why no one makes receiver bike racks for travel trailers

    My surveyor came with a bike/cargo rack on the back. It is a pain loading the bikes so that they don't rub against each other and the trailer. So, I looked for an "RV Rated" rack that I could mount to a receiver that welds to the frame just forward of the bumper. But if you look at the fine...

    Travel Trailer shipping?

    Does anyone know who I can hire to transport a new travel trailer from Zanesville Ohio to Shenango PA? I’ve checked the Big Box company’s and their prices are insane. Dealer does not provide this service.

    Junction Box under Travel Trailer

    Ran across this junction box under my new Forest River "Salem" FSX 177BH while doing some extra "hole plugging" with foam sealer. It is located just behind the hitch. Can I assume it is related to charging battery while camper is hooked to tow vehicle? Thanks in advance.
