    fresh water tank upgrade

    I have a 2014 300st which only has a 40-gal fresh water/grey/black tank. Considering, I could park a VW underneath the RV, is there any reason I cannot upgrade the tanks to a larger size. Has anyone done this? All things being considered, this is the only downside to this model. I understand it...

    Lithium battery upgrade question

    Hi all, I've searched the forums for previous posts and done some searching on youtube as well. I think I understand the issues that need to be addressed when swapping a lead acid battery for lithium iron, but want to double check.

    Upgrades and Maintenance after 10,500 miles and 3 Years of Ownership on my Microlite 2

    I thought it might be beneficial to list all the things that I've done to my 2020 Microlite 21DS. I will start by saying that I primarily boondock as I very rarely will stay in an RV park. Also, most of the boondocking I do is somewhat remote where there are no other people around. Please don't...

    Upgrade pioneer radio on ford e450 truck

    We just bought a 2017 Forest River 3011DS. The truck radio is disappointing, to say the least. It is a Pioneer Mixtrak with NO navigation and the USB input doesn't seem to recognize a flash drive (for music). It's set up for Sirius and has a DVD player, but no nav. Has anyone upgraded their...
