I installed an Equalizer WDH today and the measurements seem about right but I wanted to check with folks that have done more of this than me. Trailer is a '22 2108TB FLX. Tow vehicle is a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 standard bed (6.5') with the tow package. Note, there's probably less than 100...

This is our first year leaving our unit exposed to the winter elements as a fate has it, we're experiencing a lot of snow. I think we're fine but thought that I would ask, should I be concerned about excessive snow/weight on the roof? We had 2-3 inches already and are now receiving upwards of 15...

Hey y’all it’s my first time posting here, but I could use some advice. I have a 2012 Thomas Minotaur shortie, I’m still doing demo stuff so I haven’t gotten really to the part of my work of understanding what solar I’d need. But a friend of mine is trying to get rid of the attached panel setup...

Just check my logic I am attempting to stop an intermittently running toilet. It is an American standard champion. As far as I can tell I’ve been looking at YouTube and order a seal kit to replace the seal. Any advice or discussion would be appreciated. I have heard that these American...

The picture says it all. The slide-out had been extended for a while when I was sidelined for a few months. The slide-out has a retractable cover, but raccoon(s) managed to get on top of the rig, onto the slide-out, and under the cover. We found footprints and claw marks. This damage was seen...

My Motorhome suffers from the white streaking down the sides with normal rain runoff. The roof coating is in excellent condition with no leakage. I have cleaned the roof with the 303 roof cleaner - is there a product I can apply to stop this after a cleaning? You help is appreciated!

Hi all! We're currently parked just north of Seattle in Marysville. We need to get to NS Great Lakes for our son's boot camp graduation mid-December. I'm looking for the best route to avoid icy roads. Snow isn't as big of a concern for me as ice - frozen water not the ICE on the news every day...

I am looking at possibly buying a 2003 Safari Panther 4013 with about 25k miles on it. The coach spent most of its life stored indoors and then the last 6 years it has not been stored indoors. The current owner used it 5 out of the last 6 years as a winter home living in it 4 months out of the...

I saw the entire country from atop a motorcycle when I was young. Fifty years later, I guess its time for a do-over, but not from the saddle. I took a road round trip from Minnesota to the West Coast in June. It was a reminder of how beautiful the Rockies are. I caught the domestic travel bug...

It looks like the previous owner used a silicon based caulking on the drivers side rear corner on the roof (see Photo) It is a mess and needs to be re-done in some form. The passenger side (sorry no picture) looks nice and neat from the factory.I know getting the silicon based caulking cleaned...

Hello. I just joined a few days ago and was hoping for some advice on our currently preferred option...a new LTV Wonder. I've heard they are well made and is right about the size that we are looking for. Sounds like you order them direct and receive 5-6 months later. Curious if that means you...

I’m looking at used C class motorhomes. 26-28’ range seems to have the floor plan I like and still be fairly small. I like the walk around bed. I also like to have a couch or a couple chairs in addition to the dining table. I have other preferences like linoleum instead of carpet. Any other...

My daughter and her fiancée are shopping for their first RV. She’s been RVing with us since she was a baby and loves the idea of continuing on. Their budget is up to 60k and need something between 27-30’. Class A or C will work. Brands/years to look at or stay away from? Overall, I’ve...

I am searching for some advice about switching from Lead Acid batteries to AGM. I presently have four wet cell 6 volt golf cart batteries GC-110, 75 amp rating dated 1-2021. They are not holding a charge and I assume they were allowed to freeze due to bulging. They were like this when I...

All, 2024 IRV 250RDS Titanium. I had the dealer winterize last year because they owed me. However, I thought I would do it this year as I pretty mechanically inclined.....and it is also spelled out in the manual. I did find the capped off tube for the antifreeze/ pump etc. Are there any...

I’m going to buy a thermostatic mixing valve for my shower. Does anyone have advice on models you have been pleased with? Any that I should avoid? I was wanting a digital model but haven’t found one that will install easily in an RV. I’m currently shopping for a mechanical but I would be...

We own a 2021 Winnebago View 24D (bought new) The last camping trip (on shore power) we had a problem where our coach batteries would drain to zero (2 one yr old LiFePo 100Ah batteries). After getting it home and trying to diagnose I ended up calling a local RV repair guy. While he was cycling...

Hey guys I just joined the forums and wanted to share my van project. 2007 E150 with a 4.6 and 251,000 miles. It used to carry pool chemicals and had some rust on the floor and on the back rocker panels. I have no before pics, mostly because I'm trying to erase those memories from my brain. I...
