newbie

Hey all, I don't currently own an rv, and I am here to educate myself a bit before I pull the trigger and make a purchase. I have to say, I'm pretty tired of tent camping - particularly in the winter - and am excited to learn from those of you with more experience. I look forward to meeting...

Hi I am new to TT's, with my first one being a 2021 Rockwood 2608bs, and TV being 2020 F-250 4WD SRW 6.2 gasser and 3.73 rear end, using a Equal-i-zer 1000:10000 WDH. (Traded in the old 23' Class C...) The TT came with Lionshead Goodyear Endurance load range D nitro-filled on 5-4.5 pattern...

Totally new to the forum but I’m interested in the forest river 25fbls. My only question is can the bed be accessed with the slide closed?

New owner of a geo pro 19. When storage the trailer, let’s say for two months, do I need to remove the batteries and take them home to charge them time to time? Thanks

Hi there! My wife and I purchased a 2021 Sierra 391flrb and are going to the dealer for a walk through inspection next month. This will be the first time we have actually been in this model. We have only seen pictures of the camper and have never been inside. We can't wait to be in it!!!! We had...

Yesterday I towed my Geo Pro 19BH home. Never towed anything before. The tow vehicle is 2011 MDX with factory tow package. The trailer comes with two batteries, two full propane tanks and 1/3 tank fresh water. It also has Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch. The MDX handled the towing...

I've always had a deep passion for the outdoors and tent-camping as a child and bachelor. But now with a young family (wife, toddler and 3 mo. old), I want to make some new family memories hitting the road and exploring all that we can. Never owned a truck or trailer but I've done as much...

Hi! Brand new to camping. My husband and I ordered a new Salem FSX 181RT toy hauler in November. We are anxiously awaiting its arrival. Anyone have any info on the current production times? And are there supplier delays? Our dealer told us delivery would be in March, but I think he was just...

We have purchased the tv, a Land Rover defender and are about to pull the trigger on the trailer, rockwood mini lite 2509s. What is next? I think I have done the proper calculations on gvw, trailer weight etc. Now I need some education on sway bars equalizers hitches etc. I have never...

Hi to all! We sold our Forest River Mini Lite about a month ago after 5 years of great travel. Used it to go up the east coast North to Boston and back thru Kentucky then out west to Colorado and a bit of Utah. Then last year to Glacier and Idaho, and down to Colorado again. Covid and fires made...

Hello RVers, I am thrilled to join the forum and learn from all you beautiful people. I am new to RVing. I got a 2021 Forest River Ibex 19MBH travel trailer, paired with 2020 Ram 1500. I lived in California but purchased my RV in Texas when we traveled to visit a family last December. Looking...

I am in SC, for goodness sake!! And it is supposed to get down to 18 degrees tonite. In case it doesn't show in the thread, the camper is a cherokee grey wolf '21 26 dbh. It has a faucet in the outdoor kitchen(which I figure the furnace running and keeping the cabinet doors open will keep it...

What an amazing site to help me learn what I'm getting into since purchasing a previously loved 2003 Roo Hybrid M232. We've backyard camped a couple times. Very thankful for the furnace with temps in the lower 30's. And mattress heaters are amazing! I look forward to our first real trip once...

First, thanks to all who answered my first post, I have been learning a lot. My yellow sticker on the Grand Cherokee says cargo capacity is 1050 lbs, a lot lower than I expected. I weighed the vehicle at the CAT scale with just me and a full tank of gas. The GVWR is 6500 on the yellow...

Hello to you smart experienced RV friends! Yesterday I noticed that there was water in my storage area below, so I took everything out to locate the lead. YIKES!!! I realized that I had not been emptying the galley tank! Yes I'd emptied the black and shower, but had not EVER emptied the...

I still qualify as fairly new, I guess. Question on using search, so that I don't re-ask questions abut which answers have already been posted: Is there a way to do an "entire phrase search"? For example, I want to search on "replace mattress". The only way I can see to search will give me...
