first

Last week I brought home a new (2026) 250RDS Blackstone. Wife is in the process of nesting and I am getting started with mods. My two major mods (at the present) are: adding ~900 AHrs of Lithium battery and inverter/charger under the bed; and mounting an Olympian Wave 6 heater on a TV swivel...

Out for first trip 2025 Colorado 26rls. The Keystone manual that came with the camper says to level camper and last let out slide. We leveled the camper and hooked up water/sewer etc. then let the slide out and the passenger side then said low by 1/4 inch. Is that ok or am I doing it wrong?

Hey guys, I'm Dave from NE Ohio. Just wanted to introduce myself as I was finally able to join the club. I just returned from a 2200 mile round trip to pick up my first Alaskan and first camper. It's a 2002 10' cab over that seems to be pretty well optioned. It does have some quirks and rot...

Well I thought to myself as well as told the wife that number 35 was my last. Nope… picked up a frame for no. 36 recently! A friend said an intervention is in store! And I already have a possible buyer on the hook so we will see. It will be my first square drop in the “adventure” style as I call...

Hello everyone. I just picked up a 2017 Montana 3791RD. I will be taking my first trip to Texas in 2 weeks with my Husky/Shepard mix Karma. A long trip for the first one, but hey, full send or it doesn't count. Its a work trip, but I plan on using it for pleasure trips too. My youngest son is...

Hello everyone! I just recently purchased a MAV27 toy hauler as my first camp trailer. Its the longest and heaviest trailer i have pulled thus far, my truck seemed to handle it just fine on the 5 hr drive from dealer to home. Not much time to get in it and camp before the cold sets in i think i...

Alice and I take delivery of our E23F1 in late October. In Port Townsend we're only about three hours from the factory in Chilliwack. We are replacing a similarly sized Outdoors RV travel trailer. We visit our grandkids in LA several times a year, typically extending the trips to explore the...

Greetings Everyone, We are about to be RVer's again. We had a 34' TT some years back. We sold it in 2019. We have just purchased a 2022 Entegra Anthem 44F. We head out next week to pick it up. I have driven large vehicles, but I have never driven a class A diesel pusher. But, no worries...

Hello, we are looking at visiting Death Valley in January. We are avid hikers and like to explore areas, will probably never go back and never been there. How many days would you suggest staying in the park? Key items to see and of course, where to camp. We like prices of gov. campgrounds! and...

My name is John. Monday, I bought my first camper. It is a 2015 Springdale SG293. Perfect for me and my wife. for now, anyway. We have our first trip planned for the 19th of September for 7 days. Since I've lived on the road a bunch. I had most everything to outfit it as far as utensils and...

After years of discussion, months of research and weeks of dealing with sales people at various RV lots, we decided on this Grand Design 22MLE. Way more money than I initially wanted to spend, but it appeared to be a better overall unit than the Jayco, R-pod and Winnies we looked at the most...
