Water Filtration
(Preview)
We recently purchased a pre-owned DRV MS. It has a factory installed water filtration system, but do we need to purchase a separate system to "pre" filter the water? I say we need one, hubby says we dont! 😄 -- Edited by jcordar2 on Friday 27th of November 2020 06:58:40 PM

We are in the process of buying a new Landmark 5th wheel and a new Ram 3500.

We're going to possibly need two of these - one to help my elderly mom reach the side rail on the truck, and the o...

Running the on board generator and AC units in a 5th wheel

I know that running the generator and house AC units while underway is a common practice with motor home owners. It seems to me that the same could be done with a 5th wheel as the equipment is basically the same ... I’ve never done this, but it seems doable ... it would have a side benefit of exercising the...
