Hi, when buying a travel trailer or fifth wheel, does regular furniture(non-rv) usually fit through the door pretty easily? Thanks

What kind of "surgery" would it take to modify the usual queen bedroom on most RV's to accommodate a king bed mattress? Has anyone done it? My husband is very handy and once rebuilt the whole interior of a sailboat we owned. We are thinking he might be able to modify if it doesn't interfere wit...

We live in a 1998 Jayco 3240 FL and the L-shaped sofa/bed is SO uncomfortable. We can remove it and replace it, but the only thing I can find is one that I have to order on the internet from a company in Indiana. The Camping World part number is #650334. Does anyone have this? Is it comfortable? Any sug...

One thing that would brighten and freshen up my interior is get rid of the faded carpet, and replace it with a laminate or wood (or wood look) floor. I'm sitting here, thinking about it, and wondering, did they put the dinette over the carpet? If I tear it up, what's under there? And, how much might it cost...

Today I did the test; I just wanted to run the 5th wheel fridge on the inverter while towing (save on propane) the test went so good I turned on the 15000 btu roof air conditioner that pulls 16 amps and the fridge at 400 watts at the same time; the 2 alternators 125 amp each was putting out 193 dc amps off the di...

So, we've now been living in our driveway or the neighbor's driveway for 3 weeks in our rig and we've already determined some of the RV furniture needs to be replaced. First on the list is a "real" desk chair for me. We installed a keyboard tray to allow the keyboard to be at a reasonable heig...

We recently had the string break in one of our day/night blinds. While we had it down, Kev wanted to try a mini blind instead. So we bought a mini blind to try and some string to restring the blind.

We recently purchased our first RV and have made our maiden voyage. We love it. That being said I would like to do some things to personalize it.

So, we just picked up our 5th wheel last week. The dinette chairs are a fabric. We have a 2yr old. Not a good combination. I had a brilliant idea, it worked and I just wanted to share with you guys.

OK, so we are getting rid of the onboard Splendide washer/dryer combo. It is in a cupboard about 2ft off the ground, we took out the drawers underneath it to close off the water pipes etc, then we tried to remove the unit. It seems like the unit is wedged in there pretty tight, there is no room around it to mo...

In shopping for my new home, I have found numerous rigs whose major flaw is really worn and dated upholstery and floors. Flooring is easy but how about recovering (or replacing) attached furniture? Any comment or references to other posts will be appreciated!

We've started looking at Class A motorhomes with the idea that by early spring 2013 we'll have found the "right one". We've determined that a MH is probably best for us with a "toad" that will also be a vehicle we can use for art shows containing all our booth set up "junk&q...
