    I was backing into our parking spot after a nice weekend and I turned hard. I heard a pop or bang or something and got out to look and there was smoke coming from underneath travel trailer in the front. I looked around and stuck my head underneath but didn't see anything. The smoke stopped so I...

    Outside Satellite/Cable Connectors

    I have a 2013 36 CKTS, and it has satellite and cable connectors above the passenger side cargo door. The satellite connector appears to be an RCA jack instead of a coax jack. Is this normal, and what do I use to connect to it?

    Sealing the Electric cord and cable TV entry

    On a recent trip, a squirrel decided our rear storage compartment was a good place to hang out. Entry was easy since to connect the power and cable, the round access plate has to be removed, leaving an inviting opening. I used a cable gland for the power cord and a bulkhead mount "F" connector...

    What Happened to my Power Cable

Today while cleaning around the RV I was moving the RV power cable, which was connected to a Surge Guard (model 34830) and hooked on the electricity.

    We have RVed for 5 years without TV. At home our toshiba, pre-HD is 15 years old and we use it for VCR/DVD movies. It has never been infected with the shopping channel.

    Lift cable rubbing propane line

    I have a 2017, Freedom 2318G and I just noticed over the weekend that the lift cable, is rubbing against one of the propane lines. Looks to be copper or brass (I can't really tell), but it's pretty sturdy and can't be moved by hand. I was going to try and move it out of the way, but it won't...

    Vengeance Ramp Cable Support

    Does anyone know what the support weight of ramp support cables are when they are supporting the ramp as a deck? Cables look very strong, I am concerned about the connection point on the camper. I contacted Vengeance, she said she would get back with me weeks ago, think I got blown off.

    The electrical cable spool on our Cedar Creek champagne 38EL is not working. The storage area where the spool is is very small, leaving very little room around the powered spool.
