first time

OK So I am slowly stocking up the trailer and making sure systems function, we have a 2013 Avenger 191lt. Questions I have are about pre-overnight prep. So if I am going to do a one night trip, I am heading out to cook a bbq fundraiser for Wounded Warriors next weekend, what is the prep for...

Just pulled pop up in driveway and put the inline fuse in and tried to use electric lift and battery is dead. Have pop up plugged into truck and have battery on trickle charger. How long do I have to wait till I can get juice to battery to put up the roof??? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Forest...

Hi everyone! This is our first year seasonal camping...actually our first time owning a camper of any kind (we used to rent cabins). I have a few questions that I've researched and have seen many conflicting answers. I have a 2012 Keystone Outback 312BH. Do most people leave their slides...

Very excited new owner of a 2012 Stealth Evo! Has the floor plan we wanted and in great shape. Looking forward to many great adventures!

Hello there, my wife and I bought a new 2013 rockwood 8319SS and absolutely love it. Well that's everything but the shower head. I purchased a watts pressure regulator with 3/4" openings for plenty of flow but the shower head that comes with the TT is horrible. Any recommendations?

Picking up my 5W tomorrow. went up to see it the other day. could not wait. Its about a 3 hour drive. Ive pulled many long trailers and travel tailers. Never a 5W before. Anything I should know? Any advice for a 5W newbie? Here's a few pics from my visit. They were busy prepping it when I...

Purchased a 2011 lacrosse 305res and with just one shake down trip last fall we intend to progressively outfit it with needed gear and take longer trips in and about our home state of Michigan this coming year. We have a weight dist hitch with friction sway bar and a 2005 ford f150 with the 5.4...

First time caller in the Forest River Club. Just picked up an Apex 239RBS last Thursday and camped this weekend. We have been Jayco owners for several years. This model had the layout we really liked. I'm looking forward to the next campout.

Hi and thanks for the help! I am a first time RVer and just bought a Grand Design Momentum 385th (Media Center- Momentum 385TH | Grand Design RV) We will be full time living in it, parked in one spot for a few years and we have 3 large dogs who will make the toy hauler patio their playpen...

We are looking at purchasing a travel trailer to pull every weekend when we want to camp during the summer. What is the longest length you would suggest pulling? What is a good length for a family of 3-4? We had a seasonal destination trailer but are looking to get out and camp at different...

Just purchased (have not received) a Rockwood 2104s TT. As the name and picture implies we got this because of the dogs. We are members of the Dixie Flyers Flyball team and travel around the South going to tournaments. We will also wonder around other places once we get used to having a place we...

Howdy, So, we sold the pop-up trailer last week, and bought a 2008 Rockwood Mini-lite 1809 yesterday. Put a deposit down on it, and will be heading down to pay for her this Saturday. We will probably have to store it on the lower mainland for a month or two, until the mountain passes are decent...

Hello everyone!! My husband and I just put our order in for our very first RV and I cannot wait to get my hot little hands on it! Up until now, we were tent campers and after a HOT Coke 600 in Charlotte, we decided it was time to start looking for something to make our Nascar trips a little...

Hello, My wife and I are planning our first trip with our new (to us) travel trailer. I'll keep my first post short. We are planning 5 days at Yosemite. We have reserved a non electric RV site (I think all sites at Yosemite are non-electric). Since this is non-electric, non-water...

Hello all, This is our first camper, it is a pop-up. I have camped with friends before. We looked for about 3 years, and last year was the year to jump in. Have not been camping yet, getting everything we think we might need to get started.

Feel bad for all the Campers up north . We will be going camping for four days tomorrow at Kartchner Caves State Park in southern Az. Happy Campers :)

We have a 2013 329DS and are going to be towing a Jeep GC for the first time. My dumb question is this. What is the best RPM to pull at while going up hills with our rig. First time out we are headed up Cajon Pass (Southern California) and I just don't know what is a good safe RPM. Thanks...

We just purchased a 2014 Palomino Columbus 340RK. We are scheduled to pick it up Saturday. I have been reading through the boards over the last two weeks, I can report the following: 1. I have a check list written down and ready. 75 items. 2. I found a thread about break issues, I am going to...

Just bought a 2006 Lexington Forest River 283 GTS and I am planning a trip to Breckenridge Colorado this Christmas. Biting off more than I can chew?

We went camping this past weekend and we decided on Saturday night we needed some desert! We ran to the grocery store and purchased a apple pie to bake. We got back to the camper and lit the oven! I didn't think about it being the first time we had used it and opened the door to put in the...

I just purchased 2013 New 31 BKIS-- Any Tips for a first time TT Owner? I have been camping for years in tents and my grandparent's class C but new to the whole TT thing. Any advice from 31BKIS owners or others would be greatly appreciated

I'm about to store my travel trailer for the winter (bought it new this year) and in the past with other units I've owned moister has been a problem. So this one will be stored in a shelter to keep the rain and snow off. I've read a lot of the advice that others on this site have given about...

Long time camper... first time RV'er here. Just took delivery of my new Wildwood 28 DBUD travel trailer this past week. Looking forward to getting out and having a great time with my family. We spent a week at the KOA campground in Niagara Falls last month to see if we would like the...

Hi :) Dh and I purchased our first RV in July, it's a 2004 FW Thor, 31ft with 1 slide :thumbsup: We were very lucky to have experienced RVers in my family which really helped us figure out what we wanted and needed. We have been using my parents older Minnie for the past couple of years before...

Any thoughts on quality, floor plan, options, price etc. would be much appreciated. Thanks.
