I brought a portable waste water blue boy tank the other day. It came with this bent metal do-dad or maybe it's a thing-ma-jig, either way I don't know what it is used for. Any ideas?

Looking for feedback as to which pinbox may provide a smoother tow... the TrailAir airshock type or the MorRyde rubber pinbox type. I have heard that the TrailAir tends to make for an uneasy loose feel - definitely don't want that out of either of these. Would appreciate hearing from those of you who ha...

I'm sure that we all have the idiot light battery monitor in our rigs. My question is has anyone found a didgital battery monitor that can be placed next to the idiot lights and use the existing wiring ?

Although we do not own an RV yet, we did take the plunge, through the motivation of many here, to 'start' clearing our lives of clutter. So far over the past two weeks we have gone through the kitchen, den and one bedroom. It is amazing to see what one keeps that they have never used, forgotten they had, or...

Is there anyone with the above weather radio that could give me a "how to set it up to alert for storms etc" ? We bought this at Fry's Electonics last year in Vegas. No one at Fry's knew how it worked but we thought we could read the manual and set it up. Tried a few times this year and got confused...

This isn't exactly an RV accessory, but couldn't find a more appropriate category... As we continue our constant effort to purge and liquidate, we are pondering whether we should keep our current car as a 2nd vehicle. We had been planning to sell it, but as we continue to think through the pros and cons...

Do you really need that special/Expensive RV TP? I have read some places that you really don't///but, other places that if you don't you could really experience expensive plumbing problems later. So, what is your experience with TP types in Rv's? Can you really get by with regular/cheaper brands?

With the purchase of our F450, I am now beginning to consider the purchase of some CB radio equipment. Specifically, I am looking at mobiles for both the truck and the Explorer and a handheld for use when one of us would be out of the vehicle, such as when parking. Are any of you using such a system? How is...

Bed, Bath and Beyond is a treasure trove of kitchen and household items that are smaller sized or fold up, etc. A recent trip revealed measuring cups, measuring spoons, collanders, step stools, table top ironing board (which I don't plan to use much), etc. What space-saving accessories have you f...

Hi, I'm in the midst of doing research on full-time RVing, and I'd like to find out if there's any way I can hang pictures in my RV. They are framed botanical paintings that I have done. I have about six of them - they're not that large, about 10 x 12. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Roberta

We finally got around to getting step covers for our rig. I was tired of tracking dirt into the trailer! After some searching online, I found the following site.

Does anyone know where I could find a wooden handle bar, the kind you would hold onto when coming down the inside steps from the bedroom? Camping World does't have them. They only have the metal ones for the outside. Thanks, Lois

If the trailer I'm looking at isn't plumbed for a washer/dryer...what would be my steps for doing this? Is it harder than I think? Would it drain to the gray tank, it's own tank, or straight out to the sewer? Obviously I'd need power....how? plugs into the trailer or it's own separate line to the pedest...

When I started fulltiming nearly a year ago I bought a small Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner. Needless to say it doesn't clean very well. After workamping this sumer at Lassen Volcanic National Park, my carpet was in horrible condition, made worse by having a dog that sheds a lot. I recently had some dama...

This has been a very wet summer here in NJ. When we head south we know there will be times we will face lots of humidity. We are thinking of purchasing a small dehumidifier that can sit on kitchen counter when needed and stored easily. Any recommendations? Thanks.

We camped for the first time a couple nights ago (fifth wheel) & while walking around the campground noticed that most people with fifth wheelers had a tripod gadget under the king pin.

Has anyone else used "Wireless" Trailer & Vehicle Magnetic Towing Lights? I purchased a set at Pepboy's auto parts store a couple of months ago for 149.00 and I must say they work pretty darn good. I used them on my boat and utility trailer last week and to pull my car behind my RV last mon...

I have a Jeep Liberty and want to carry 2 bicycles. The Jeep Liberty has the rear window that raises up when opened and the tailgate hinged on the left.

All I have ever known about batteries is cca because I needed a lot for my high compression race engines.How do I find out the amp hours of my 12 volt RV battery? I can't seem to find the info on the case anywhere. Plan to get small invertor for computer use for the occasional Wal-Mart stop.
