    Hoping to upgrade to Lithium battery, but confused

    School me on lithium RV batteries. Right now I'm running two 6v "flooded" deep cycle lead acid batteries wired in series to give me 12v. My Rockwood travel trailer is a 2022 model; the dealership mechanic and the instruction manuals tell me that both the solar controller and the on board...

    So the water heater on our unit I noticed a few months into ownership that the frame around the water heater was pealing away from the side of the motorhome!

    Upgrade mattress for bunkbeds

    One of the first things I did when I purchased my 26DBH was to replace the mattress the trailer came with. Now that my kids are a little bigger, they are complaining about the mattress, if I can even call it that, on the bunks. They are an odd shape. Does anyone know where I can upgrade the...

    Lippert Quick Drop Jack vs Electric Upgrade

    Hello RVers, We just bought our first trailer and it has the Quick Drop Jack (you can use the same 3/4 socket on an impact to more quickly raise/lower jack). I used it for the first time and it was definitely better than the cranking nonsense, but I’ve been considering the electric conversion...

    A/C upgrade

    If your a/c is loud and not blowing through the vents well you seriously need to call these people. We had the plenum installed today at their location. Absolutely hands down the best A/C upgrade ever. This product has done exactly as advertised and more. A/C is quieter and cools much better...

    Consumer Protection for missing/incorrect upgrades?

    Hello fellow travelers, I just bought a 2023 Cherokee Wolf Pup Limited and a few things are missing or incorrect. I have been going back and forth with the dealer and FR's "owner relations" and she basically told me the standard "we reserve the right to change...". In other words, yeah, you...

    I have a 2013 Georgetown 24,000 lb chassis. Has anyone used the Roadmaster rear anti sway bar for the rear. I am looking at the 1½", 1⅝" or the 1¾" bar. Questions What size did you buy and would you have bought a different size after install? How do you like the ride after install? Did...

    Flat Tow Jeep Wrangler Sport with upgraded winch-ready front bumper

    We own a 2018 Forest River Forester 2401 MBS. We purchased a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sport (2-door) to flat tow, were told by our RV shop that they couldn't handle it (rigging for flat-tow) since it had a "custom" bumper--which seems weird. They said it would require a custom pull hitch. If anyone...

    Preparing for a cross-Canada trip, as I opened the cover on my Hot Water Heater, the plastic tab lost its grip and the fastener fell apart.

    PWM vs MPPT? Good Upgrade?

    I recently had 2 additional panels installed (600W total) and my solar tech let me know that I was at the limit for my GoPower controller, which is a PWM style. I've been reading a lot about MPTT style controllers, such as those made by Victron. Is there a noticeable improvement to be had by...

    New owner, Broken Spring 2004 Carindal 31, so replace/upgrade?

    So, I just got this 5th wheel used, and have had to fix several things, but I finally got it back to my house. There are some awkward turns and grades getting it parked at my house, and there was a bit of a low spot while the trailer was already leaning on that side, so, I guess I'll blame the...
