I recently converted the 2 coach batteries to Lithium. Thanks to members of this forum, the conversion went very well. However, I still have not converted the Solar to Lithium. The Merlin Travel Pro 30 has settings for Sealed, LA, and AGM. It also has a "user" setting that can be...

Background: We have been to Niagara Falls (Canada side) in 2018. We also did a day trip to Toronto, before heading back to the US. We are now on the planning stage for our next trip to Canada around June 2025. We want to visit (and camp) either Montreal or Quebec. We DEFINITELY would like to...

Suggestions, please. I have a 2023 Coachmen Apex Nano 215RBK, fully serviced, cleaned and ready to tow. It is a good fit for 2 people. I want to donate it to someone trying to live in weather hit areas of NC, OK or elsewhere who lost their homes to weather. I will tow it to where it is needed...

Just picked up a 2020 Wildwood fsx 260rt today. We noticed that the patio rail system does not appear to lock in place when in the travel mode. Are we missing a latch or strap? Thanks!

The Flagstaff 26SRD has these specs: Hitch Weight 716 lb. UVW 6,509 lb. CCC 2,007 lb. Exterior Length 29' 9" Thus, a GVWR of (6509 + 2007) = 8516. I'm buying a 2025 Ford F150 Platinum that has a payload capacity of about 1400 lbs. A bigger truck is NOT an option for me as I can only get a...

Travel Trailer :: 2024 Forest River Geo-Pro G19FDS (2024-10-29 21:46:41)

Just winterized my trailer, 2023 rockwood ultra lite 30ft, and was thinking about putting the trailer on floor jacks to take pressure of tires. Will this harm my trailer?

Hello everyone. I am a newbie to the RV scene and i am in the process of choosing my first RV. I am looking at Forest River RV's and i need one question answered? Which Forest River RV companies are sister companies to each other. I am aware of Ibex / No Boundaries and Salem / Wildwood being...

We're traveling to Texas this winter from Western Canada. Have done it before in a non-motorhome and it was fairly easy. Down I-25 or I-29. Any suggested routes? Saskatchewan (Can) to Texas. Or Montana/North Dakota to Texas.

I would like to know how to run frig on travel days?

We have a Puma Unleashed toy hauler and recently starting getting a bad Urine smell after traveling to and from a trip. We do what we've always done. We drain the black tank and usually fill it twice or 3 times depending on traffic behind us when we dump. The camper will smell normal all trip...

Has anyone manually programed this solar controller to Lifepo4 parameters? Manual shows how to connect to a PC and mentions some kind of software or app to change USER settings. I contacted Merlin with these questions and they just sent me the manual which we all already have. There are no...

Hi, just purchased a 2020 Flagstaff M-27KSHW. Among several issues I am having a problem with the door travel bracket. This is the white angle iron looking thing that the bottom of the door rests on while traveling. Mine has come loose at least 3 times.(I can tell from the various holes) The 4...

Howdy folks, I'm looking for your recommendations for a good quality cover for our 2016 Forest River Flagstaff MicroLite 26'. It'll be stored outside in extreme southwestern heat and fairly mild winters. Also interested in the ones to stay away from! Thx in advance! -DynaflowDave

Hi guys, I've been keeping my Wolf Pup 16BHS in an outdoor storage area for about a year now. Unfortunately, this Summer wasps are very active in the area. The past two times I've checked they have built small nests in the small area behind the fridge that is accessible from outside the trailer...

Hi All, After years of owning a HW296 I am thinking about moving to a TT. While I live the tent-like feel, the constant worry about setup and breakdown in rain, worry about mold/mildew, and the extra time associated with PUP has worn me down. I love the HW296 but it may be time to move on...

Good Morning I've got a 2022 Cherokee 23Mk 28' dual axle travel trailer. I need to get something to jack up the trailer should the inevitable happen. Something I can keep in the back of the truck that's not too bulky. I haven't been carrying anything and that's really playing with fate...

I have a 2022 FR3 DS30 with the Merlin Solar Charger. Can someone explain in "layman terms" how this actually works, what it charges, etc.

Our fridge is electric/propane. We’ve always just camped within a few hours so never had the propane on while traveling. We are taking a cross country trip soon and will need it on. Any issue with running fridge on propane while traveling?

Hello all, Does anyone have a breaker description for a 1996 Salem. Bought one and there is a couple wires disconnected and trying to figure out what goes where. Thank you!

I just upgraded to a Oxygenics Fury showerhead and was concerned about it bouncing around during travel. I knew it was too heavy to leave in the holder and didn't want it sliding around on the floor of the shower. I found this Velcro strap (Wrap It) at an AutoZone and secured the showerhead as...

I was searching existing threads for something along these lines, but nothing directly related seemed to be out there. It's been one of the interesting things to me in RV sub-culture and there seems to be little consensus. How do you refer to your travel trailer? RV, Travel Trailer, Rig...

Looking for a good route and wanting to stay out of the big city’s. Any help would be appreciated.

I am hoping someone can give me some new suggestions to prevent our travel trailer from sinking. Our Windjammer has 3 slides. 2 are ODS and both are large slides. That makes that side heavier than the door side. We carefully level the trailer and use good boards under the wheels on the ODS...
