newbie

Happy Monday All. The Wife and I just purchased a 2004 Forest River Surveyor SV-190T Hybrid. This is our first camper, but we have been shopping for the last couple of years, trying to find what suited us. After coming close to buying new a couple of times, this 2004 dropped in our lap...

Hey guys! We’re brand new to travel trailer ownership. We currently live in Utah and plan on doing a bunch of different stuff with our new Cruiselite trailer! We plan on boondocking a bit. As well as visiting established RV campsites all over the west. We’ve already learned a bunch from reading...

Hello and thanks for the add! We just got our new Flagstaff Micro-Lite 21DS in April and haven't been able to use it because nothing is open. We are new to TT camping and will be looking for lots of advice, anecdotes and arguments about trailer life.:fall:

Camping World won’t help so hopefully someone here can help. What is that on off switch? What does the that reset button do? How bad is that stabilizer? Oh and is the valve in the proper position for the fresh water tank to work? Thanks

Just purchased a GreyWolf 24js and am hoping to pick up lots of tips and tricks. Ordered xchocks based on a thread here so it's paying off already! Rick

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster here. We came *this* close to buying a Geo Pro 19BH this spring, but hesitated when we finally accepted that our current tow vehicle (Honda Ridgeline, first gen) would be cutting it too close on weight. We would still like to get that trailer, but are...

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any help and recommendations. My family is looking to jump into the travel trailer life—albeit a little earlier than expected because of COVID concerns. We were already in the market for a new vehicle, so we started looking for trailers that could be a good...

Hi all. Newbie owner of Geo Pro 19FBS. On first night out currently. Sometimes it makes a popping dripping type sound, along sides towards top of roof, in interior of trailer. It's not raining. But did a little over night. Roof is dry from outside. It sounded like water going down...

Wanting to purchase a smaller fifth wheel toy hauler, GVWR 12,000 with a dry weight of a round 10,000lbs if I load with 2000 pounds does anybody know how much that would lower the camper over the camper axles 1-2” ? I am trying to determine hitch height for a level ride. I understand about pin...

I grew up with an RV, but admittedly never paid much attention to how things were run. My father bought a Sunseeker by Forest River last year and barely used it. I asked him if my wife and I could use it this summer, and he agreed. Unfortunately, when we asked him for the tour of the vehicle...

Long timer camper, first time Salem owner Thanks for the add. Northern NY location

Hello all! I've really enjoyed reading all the useful information in this forum. We just purchased a new (2018) Isata 4 and will be taking it out this weekend for the first time, though staying fairly close to home here in Colorado. Would appreciate any wisdom other Isata owners share to...

Please don't roast me this question but how can you get hot water while only using fresh water tank water? How will the WH fill up? I am confused how this works so if someone didn't mind explaining this to me, I would greatly appreciate your help. 2016 Salem Hemisphere 356 QBS. I have spent a...

Hey, fellow A framers! Need some input for the newbie. First pop up, A223HW hardside. Before raising the roof I forgot to unlatch one of the side hinges that secure the roof sides down. Of course that cause the wood screws fasting the hinge plates to the side walls to pull out, stripping the...

I am new to trailer life and will be headed out soon with a new Geo Pro 20'. My question is do sway stabilizers also cut down on up and down motion as well as side to side? Or is there another way? I towed my trailer approx 500 miles for vacation storage and the up and down (boat in a wave...

2020 e pro 16bh. I cant figure out how to turn on the Go Power solar controller, the dealer I picked it up from today didnt know either. He pushed the buttons and said "might have to read up on that" lol. Any tutorials will help as I've been a tenter my whole life, thanks in advance!

Hello, new to this style of camping. Just picked up a new e pro 16bh today

I bought a Flagstaff E-pro last fall. The dealer held it for the winter. Now, with all of the restrictions...I will not be able to have the walk-thru to help me navigate being a new rv owner. Is there someone out there that owns one and can help me navigate when I need assistance? Thanks!!

We just purchased our first TT, 2016 TBUD, and have had it out 3 times so far. I am finding that I cannot pull it over 50-55mph or it pushes the truck all over. I am towing with a 2014 F150 crew 6.5' bed 4x4 5.0 3.73 leveled with 34" mud tires and truck has 5star 91 perf/tow tune. I have a Blue...
