We just joined. We are hoping to be full time soon.

It's all Texas's fault. Y'all need to turn the water off or send it to California! Really Two weeks past and another one beginning. Oh well, it beats the ice and cold weather.

We want to be full time by the end of summer with second grade twins. There is a lot of information here, but not much recent. What are some of the biggest unexpected challenges.

We are in the process of mounting the monitor for a 4 camera system in our truck. Where do you guys mount them? On the dash, or on the floor by the 4 wheel drive shifter, other ideas? Thanks!!

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this... We noticed that the bedroom slide was not closing flush on one side and brought it to a dealer (Tom Johnson in Marion, NC). They said that the cause was from the bed, which is on a cantilever design. It only has 1 ram, no tie to the other side of the slide to ke...

Was going through my May 2015 Trailer Life mag and saw an add for Viking Propane Cylinders. Appears they have various sizes and they're lighter weight. Anybody use these? Are they worth it and is there any issue with getting them filled? Thanks and happy trails.

I am considering the purchase of a replacement 1995 Jeep Cherokee for my present "95" Jeep. The new to me Jeep that I am considering has a 2" lift. Could it be a possible problem for towing? Is anyone out there towing a "lifted" 4-wheeler toad ? Your comments would be appreci...

I also has a warn winch ( $75.00 extra) that hooks to the hitch to drag the bike up the ramp. Makes it very easy to load your bike. I am...

I'm curious..... the toads you have for your MH..... are they also your primary vehicles for 'everyday' use? I'm referring to those that do not FT of course and still own a home. I'm not too excited about having a home/primary vehicle/MH AND another vehicle specifically for toad purposes. ($$$) but c...

Hello people. Im new here.. Last time I pulled my toy-hauler to Colorado, I swore I would replace the fold down couch/bed with something more comfortable since I don't sleep on it. But after visualizing how I would achieve mounting a comfortable leather couch against this wall. I'm starting to doub...

After many years of adventures and volunteering in 8 different places in 6 different states it is time to be really retired! The weather in Georgia did me in this past winter. Medical problems have reared their ugly head so we are back in our Connecticut home. But, what a ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

We have been full timing for 10 months now. We have had reservations everywhere, learned quickly that week ends FILL federal and state campgrounds. We are so happy to have had reservations. Now we are needing some flexability. We will be leaving NOLA at the end of April, moving toward Red Bay, AL to...

Finally got the warning that I need to add DEF. I have 6,300 miles and the owners manual says change oil at 10K. Do you add DEF yourself, go to a Truck Stop and use the dispenser (I understand you need a demagnetizer for this?), or go ahead and change the oil and have them add DEF?

Well after a winter in Mesa, we fired up the motorhome and headed out yesterday towards Dallas to see our kids. Ran into cross-winds (or micro-burst) west of Lordsburg, NM in the midst of a thunderstorm (actual RAIN) and lost the shroud for the front air conditioner. Dave got is daily walk in going ba...

Hello! I remember that Howard wrote a detailed post on the V.A. Aide and Attendance program a few years ago. I have searched the daily journal but cannot find the posting. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks.

Hi folks. Haven't found these forum topics so hope I'm in the right place. We'd like to know how others keep up on their prescriptions.What do you do if you need refills and your prescriptions run out. Some of us on controlled substances, how do we get refills? We plan to go through our home state to se...

We are planning our month long vacation for this year and New Orleans is on the list. Any good RV spots down there close to it all? We don't tow but are willing to call Enterprise! Thanks J&J

We just bought a Heartland Big Horn 3760EL. It comes with an 80 amp/12v converter. I want to add a bank of AGM batteries, an inverter and a hardwired 50 amp Progressive surge protector. I'm looking for advice on how to go about doing this, selecting the right brands etc. It sounds like this is someth...

Preferring to Boondock than staying in organized CG's for the most part, we are wondering how effective and useful anyone who's made use on a maybe regular basis versus just a one off of Boondockers Welcome. Each to their own, and variety is for sure the spice of life and we are all different in our needs...

Well, it appears the repair / potential engine replacement on our truck is going to be a lengthy process and we can't stay where we are. An event is coming to town and this RV park will be fully occupied. So now we're trying to figure out how to get the 5th wheel moved. Our Ford Extended Warranty doesn't c...

So we ordered 2 new Lambright recliners for our new 5th wheel. What to do with the 2 never used ones that came with it? Is there a market for 2 new "RV" recliners?

Due to us not be able to mention our Savior on an Happy Easter I protest this and only way I know how is to separate myself from this forum. I never believed in my 58 years that professing my Savior would not be tolerated. I apologize for not reading all the rules before I joined. God bless -- Edited by Howa...

Hi all, For the second out of three times booking a state / county park we have had major clearance issues. I booked in advance at Magnolia County Park in Apopka, Florida and actually spoke to them on the phone talking about the fact that we had a 40 foot 5th wheel. Immediately upon entering the campgro...

Hi everyone, I'm not great at putting into words how I feel but I will have a go at it. My wife and I got our first camper ( fifth wheel ) in 2005 and started weekend camping and on vacations. We were planning to go semi full-time, when I retired 4 1/2 years from now. We traded our fifth wheel in on a used motor h...

I am wondering if there are any Class C owners of Fifth Wheel owners that have modified the area over the cab/fifth wheel. I ask because I have a Class C and as I get older it becomes more difficult to get up in the area over the cab to sleep. Mine is solid and not cut out like some of the newer models. Please l...

My name is Anna, and of course I have a Yorkie as my travel companion. I first bought my Class C RV in Las Vegas 4 years ago from Cruise America. I drove back to Ohio in it. What an adventure. I recently lost my job (3/26/2015) and on the same date found out that my final additions to my RV were completed on th...

I lived in northern Vermont for most of my life, and on a few other boards I have answered a ton of questions about visiting there. So if anyone has questions about sight seeing, restaurants, and other 'insider' information, I will be happy to chat (type) your ears off. Northern Vermont is my primary ar...
