new owner

We brought a new-to-us 17B a month ago. I have been working on some modification to make it our tiny home on wheels. Here are modifications we did so far before our first trip: 1. Beddings: mattress cover, fitted sheets, cushion covers etc. 2. Back splash/knife wall 3. Microwave cabinet door 4...

We just purchased a 2002 Towlite a few weeks ago and I'd like to paint the walls and spruce things up inside. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or experience removing the wallpaper? There are some parts of ours that has wrinkled and it almost feels like vinyl wallpaper....? Any help or tips...

Happy to be here and excited for this new journey. I am Eric, pictured below is Sasha. Currently living in Arizona. Will be using the camper in a mix of living and traveling. I stay in a guest house without its own kitchen and bathroom, so the plan is to park it next to my house and more or...

A first time rv buyer should buy used. Right? But. There's always a but. Every buyer is different. About me: Divorced. Empty nest. My work can go on the road. I've wanted to do this for years. My ex - hah! He had no sense of adventure. Now I'm free to live as I choose. I've read until my brain...

So... How do I start to use my water heater? I am hooked up to shore power and city water. I have dewinterized an put the anode tube in and turned on my propane. The water is still cold after a couple minutes. Is there a pilot light? A button? Thanks for your time and help!

Hey so Picking up My 2021 Voltage 3635 Tomorrow, going to take it on its first trip in 2 days. What do I need to look at, insure works, doesn't leak, or tighten my first time out? Here is what I'm thinking what else do I need to look at other then the list below I've been looking for a blog for...

Greetings, Just a quick introduction. David and Connie Vander Wall. We just purchased the very last 2021 Reflection 303RLS that Grand Design produced before starting up the 2022's. We are thrilled to have snagged this last unit and are out on our first camping run since driving the rig off...

Hello campers, We are experienced travel trailer campers that just bought a 2021 Imagine XLS, 22 MLE. Through our research, we found it to be a great floorplan for a couple's camper - with both a dinette and recliners in a 26 foot package. Looking forward to learning and sharing on this forum...

Hello fellow Grand Designers! We're Doug and Nancy, and Proud new Grand Design 340RDS Reflection Owners! About 6 weeks ago, We became the proud owners of a Grand Design 340RDS Reflection 5th Wheel. We're not brand new to 5th wheels or campers, but this is our largest and most feature-packed...

Here's an updated PDI that combines the best parts of the various PDI's that I've seen listed in the Technical Library as well as others floating around the web. I find it much easier to customize in an excel spreadsheet format and also I changed some of the layout of the items so that the flow...

Hi all. My wife and I have tent camped for years and have been considering a TT for at least the last two. We rented a TT a few times this summer and really enjoyed it and found GD through a lot of YouTube and internet searches. We decided on an Imagine 2500 RL and after several weeks of...

It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to post. We dove right in and bought a 261BH. Maiden voyage. Water heater leaks. We bypassed it and drained it, but it appears the leak is in the hose or a connection BEFORE the bypass valves, so it still leaking. Is there a way to turn off the water...

Hi all, My husband and I just placed an order for our 2021 Grand Design Transcend 247BH at Delmarva RV center in Milford DE (we live in Exton PA). They are giving us a delivery date of late October (so far away!!) but we're hoping it might arrive earlier. Has anyone else who has had to wait...

My wife and I recently purchased our first FWC and couldn't be more excited. Here is a pic from our trip home from to UT from MT. The camper came with some of the original paperwork, which I thought some might find interesting. There is a handwritten note from a former owner (not the most...

I am just completing the build sheet. wow what a process. I am still agonizing over whether to get the inverter, the power awning and the two-way water heater, , and the undercarriage insulation. I have decided to go with the E2 hitch. Would love to hear other people's choices

Hello, I’m Dawn. My husband and I just bought our first camper 😁 it is a big project but we are planning on gutting most of the inside since the walls and ceiling are completely water damaged. I’m both excited and nervous about this undertaking!! Right now I’m browsing through the remodels and...

Hi all. We're heading from TN to OH Monday to pick up our 2019 Cherokee Grey Wolf 26RR toy hauler! Very excited....but a little nervous too. We're first-timers; haven't pulled anything more than a 14' utility hauler, haven't camped before, so ANY advice, tips, pointers would be greatly...

I am starting this thread for those new to owning a Hi Lo / Tow Lite.

I was going to wait until the RV show but I got what I thought was a good price. And I don't have to wait for it to be built. I am in Utah, I would love to hear from other Utahns when they de-winterize their trailers and when and where they camp in like April or May?

It's taken almost three years of consideration and shopping to completely understand camping, towing and the different brands/models etc., but we've decided it's time to order a new fiver.:thumb: Included in our analysis is the fact that we're at that point in life when any big purchases will...

We just got our new 2800BH, we are going on our first trip soon. We got it in Las Cruces and brought it home through Cloudcroft NM. We are towing it with a 2015 Tahoe Z71, got airbags installed even though the dealer said we didn't need it. Very excited to this new stage in our lives and want...

Hello, We are excited about our new Grand Design Reflection. However, after only 10 days, we seem to have a cave-in on the underbelly which has caused water (grey, we think) to collect in the undercarriage. We were able to get most of the water out, and will sort things out in the morning...

We just bought a used/2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport with tow package. We hope to find a used 4WC Fleet for the long bed. What do we need to do to get it ready to put the camper on it? (Besides buying a camper of course.) We plan to go on extended camping trips - there are 2 of us and a black lab...

I bought a 2015, non-forest river RV less than a year ago and quickly learned the value of checking all the seals, seams, and roof for leaks, applying UV resistant caulk and self-leveling sealant in excess. Nine months and 3K in repairs later, I now own a Forest River. What else would you...

Just bought this used 2014 unit and took it out for our first trip. This is all new to my family as this is our first RV. But after 2 nights we're loving everything about this set up for a family of 4. We still need to run the gas system to check it all out. I'm still trying to get the best...
