Hey y’all! So I am planning my first cross country move from Texas to Indiana. I have a 1500 Chevy Silverado with the following specs. My trailer is rated at 6350lb dry, and I plan on putting as much as I can into my other car for the move to have less weight in the trailer, anticipating no more...

Hi all, I'm a long time camper but got tired of sleeping on cots in tents. My favorite hobby is astronomy and I wanted a rig that allowed me to take my 25" Obsession telescope to Star Parties and not sleep on the ground. Plus take my RZR 900 side by side ATV and Harley Trike on various...

Hello, New here and wanted to introduce myself. We are in NB Canada and purchased our first RV last week (a leftover 2020 E-Pro 20BHS) after years of debate, we are so excited to get out and show our daughter the camping life we both grew up with.

I've been watching this forum for some time and realized I had never joined. Love all the (intended) help and information that is provided here. Bought a used 2005 Trail Lite in 2017 to see if we were cut out for the RV lifestyle. Guess we were as we bought a new 2018 Grand Design 2600RB the...

Hi all, we are newbie campers with new Wolf Pup. We know the solar panel is supposed to recharge the battery. But... when the trailer is plugged into power, does that also recharge the battery? Thanks!

Ugh. My hubby and I are in the process of moving from Oregon to Missouri. I'm in Missouri while he awaits the moving truck in OR. We purchased a 2004 Rockwood 2502 from a friend and had it moved to where we are staying until we find a home. I am living in it now. I need you please! I...

Questions; 1) To level my pop up camper Rockwood 2716F, what size of pieces of wood I will need to get (going to Home Depot) and get them. Please let me know whick wood I should buy and cut size. :) 2) when I plug in the water hose to the city water hook up, turn the sprocket on, would the...

We are newbies and have some questions very specific to the Forest River Salem Hemisphere 17RBHL. There are 2 down hoses on the drivers underside. One is the low point drain w/ a valve. What is the other one for? This one has no valve. We had water pouring out of it on our first trip, we don't...

Newbie RV owner here...Just got home from my 5th trip in our 17 MKE after a short 1.5 hour drive from the campsite, with no unusual bouncing or hard stops. I opened the fridge to discover that the unopened bottle of wine that I had placed on its side on a middle shelf (too tall to put in the...

Hello! We recently purchased our new fifth wheel, a 2021 Salem Hemisphere 356QB! Even though we've been camping for years, we are new to the forums and are excited to connect with other campers/RV'ers. Looking forward to getting some fun ideas and advice from everyone! :)

Hi there! New RV'er here. I'm interested in getting started with flat (toad/dinghy) towing. I have a 27' class C Forest River Forester rv (built on a Ford E450 van chassis). I live in the northwest USA. I'm looking for a reliable dinghy that seats 5. Is there anywhere I could rent a dinghy to...

We bought an E-Pro 19FD in 2019, used. We haven't used it and are thinking of selling it. The manufacturer's sticker lists 4/27/18 but my insurance docs say that it's a 2019. I have two questions: Q1: Would you say I have a 2018 or 2019 camper? Q2: How would I go about pricing it? Please...

Hi, I'm Rick, from Tennessee. Tomorrow morning my wife and I will be viewing a new 2021 26DBH. We had been looking at a Coleman 262BH but I think I like the Forest River more. I'd be really curious what your thoughts are about this model, and Forest River in General. The price seems right...

Have a new Geo Pro19FD and the water filter leaked when I turned pump on. I think it was not on tight enough. Water got some of the black “paper” underneath the floor wet. I am not sure how or if I need to remove paper to dry it out. Seems like a sizable job. My concern is mold or will it just...

Hello all, Just recently purchased a 2011 Lexington 283GTS with only 10K miles on it. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Have not gone any trip yet as we are still trying to learn all the ins and out. This is our first MH so we are excited. I do have a couple of questions about our new MH...

Thanks for allowing me to join. My wife, Jess, and I just purchased a 2021 Salem 240BHXL. We’ve been out once so far and love everything about it. We’re excited to get out there and meet new people. I’m in the Navy, 28 years and counting. Jess is a homemaker. She homeschools our son, Holden...

We just purchased a 2014 Cedar Creek 34RLSA fifth wheel. There are a number of control valves in the water compartment. Some for winterizing and others for control of the flow of water during campIn season. I have tried several configurations but I’m somewhat confused even though there is a...

Hello, I just received my 2021 Wolfpup. We ordered the 16bhs model, but now that the trailer is home and I have had time to look over it, i notice there are differences than all of the pictures ive seen here in the forum as well as on dealer websites. I noted that the badge on the outside states...

Does anyone know who manufactures the outside kitchen hatch door for the Wildwoods (Is that a Forest River product, and more specifically, the hinges)? I just bought a (New to me) 2017 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite and one of the hinges is bent, I just need to replace it. I think I might've...

Hello All, I’m a resourceful Lady from the Pacific NW, who moved to New Orleans (where things grow fast). For just over 10 years I’ve been wanting to get a travel trailer to explore parts of the States in. So, as of January 2021, I purchased and am a brand new owner of a 33’ Forest River...

Hi, I’m new to RVing, I have a 2017 Forester TS 2391. I’m trying to find an owners manual for it. The one that Camping World gave me doesn’t really apply to my RV

Awesome site! Lots of information. Going to look at a 2008 831bhss flagstaff classic super lite tonight. Pics have it very well maintained. Thanks.

Howdy forum! My family and I are excited to joint the rv community! We just purchased our first travel trailer, a 2021 aspen trail 17bh! Got to love those covid prices!😳 Were towing it with a 2015 Toyota Highlander with the factory tow package, curt bluetooth brake controller, 7 pin upgrade, and...

Hi, completely new to hauling and bought myself and 2013 272TXR this weekend and did all the maintenance items and tune brake controllers, etc. We are excited! But, the trailer sits quite a bit higher than my tow vehicle. The vehicle is very limited in rise height, I can only go up 3/4 of an...

Thanks for the add .. we recently purchased a 2013 Forest river forester . We are still working out the bugs with it... all in all it's a solid unit. Being 8yrs it only has 33000 miles on it and the generator only 75hrs. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions :D
