For those of you that have the removable lower section on your fixed roof ladder do you remove & store each time you move location? Or have you attached it so you don't have to remove & store?

I finally got around to installing the PressurePro TPMS sensors on our rig and also got an infrared thermometer to check tire/hub temps with while transiting. Yesterday we were traveling from NY over to CT and passed through some decently hilly but definitely not mountains in the eastern foothills...

We are doing our resurch for a FT 5th wheel, and we both like the Alpenlite. I read in the RV Consumer Group report to be carfeull of units made after 2004. We found a 2008 34RLR Limited that looks very interesting, it still has the 4 Star rate. 2008 was the last year that Alpenlite was in business so...

Example: 86 degree outside, temp at thermostat will not go below 78 deg. Did not fix problem with generator. Have taken it back seve...

On Monday a police helicopter began circling the RV Resort. A few minutes later a siren was heard and a marked police car with siren and lights flashing began speeding through the interior roads of the resort. Next an unmarked police car was seen also racing up and down the resort roads. It seems th...

Does anyone have any experience - good or bad - with running your RV through a Truck Wash?

Has anyone used this to reseal seams on your trailer. Talking to two people one says it's the way to go and another says it's not worth it and doesn't this you can using this tape. Also understand there is a double sided one.

We've had the rig for one year and when I read that folks have had to add distilled water to the battery after a year I get nervous since I have no clue on where or how to do this. Can anyone help?

I was reading Howard and Linda's journal for today (August 20, 2012) in Yellowstone and they talked about the Bison and posted a few that they took. I commented about their pictures and then wrote that I would have to share one of my Bison photos. While we were watching a small herd in one area, I was lean...

Anyone have any experience buying a Mercedes Sprinter chassis motorhome from any of the several manufacturers that make these units? I am looking at the Winnebago/Itasca & Forest River Solera models. There are others however and would take comments on any of them. How about diesel mileage...

Kim, Arri and I are officially full-timing since August 10th. We picked up our 2013 Landmark San Antonio last friday and had a few minor things corrected. We love it! We will be leaving Elkhart tomorrow and start our southern push to Coffeeville KS for our first seasonal job at Amazon. Time to start li...

Hello, all. I'm new here, but not really to RVing. I did a year and a half of "full timing" up until last summer, when I sold my previous RV. Heck, it was only a 17' Dodge Tioga II! Li'l bitty thing, but served me well. After about half a year in a cottage withOUT a rig, I both missed having one and a n...

About an hour and a half into the trip we were in fairly heavy traffic in the center lane when we spotted a HUGE chunk of semi truck tir...

We are still in the research phase, looking around and deciding what we can comfortably live in and bring a Harley Fat Boy. Though we like the regular fifth wheel floor plans better for full-time living, we've stuck mainly to looking at toyhaulers thinking this was our only option. While looking aro...
