WE are going to take the booth out of our fifth wheel. Do you have any warnings before we do it??

I have a 2006 F350 Super Duty 6.0L that I bought used. I use this as a daily driver and to tow a 13.5K RV. It had an electric brake controller already installed (hardwired in under dash). I want to replace this with a P2 Prodigy that came with a plug-n-play connection but I can't find the plug under the dash....

anyone workamped at Distant Drums RV Park in AZ, or have info on it?

The wife and I have 2010 laredo 5w with the outside kitchen and love it. We replaced the short gas struts for the factory 36' struts mounted on the countertop not the walls. Our current dilema is now when we are at a campground that has older 30 amp electrical hook-up, with weak breakers or bad wiring, wha...

I see alternators spec'd from 160 amps on lower priced units, up to 220 amps on higher priced units. I know what an alternator does, how much difference would going to a higher amped alternator make? I can only guess that the higher amped alternator would charge your batteries faster, but only when y...

I have a request to put out to thhe forum. It seems that my grandaughter has a problem eating Raw fruits and vegetables. The request is mainly regarding fruits. She already does baked apples and the normal things, but she is looking for low calorie cooked fruits. Even cooked just a little bit work...

DW & I met with realtor a year ago to explore selling the s & b and go FT. Told him we'd contact him, Spring 2012. Well last Thurs, he seemed anxious to list our home, we've had for 9 yrs. Unfortunately after he researched our area(Western, Salt Lake Co, UT) determined there are pages & pages o...

Been listening to NOAA weather radio. It looks like the official beginning of Summer has us dead in tropical storm Beryl's sights. The forcast is for thunderstorms beginning around mid day Sunday, with the storm force winds and heavy rain to Hit us by Monday PM. The water tank is full, the fridge. And...

Does anyone own a gulfstream Yellowstone class c rv? What do you think of it?

My husband Pete and I live in northern lower Michigan, and plan to go full-time within the year with our 2 little dogs, cat, and 7 parrots. Pete is only 4 years from retirement but we don't see any need (big pensions, whatever) to wait. It is only in the last 6 months that we have come to the decision to do thi...

Hi Everyone! Well, I listed my home for sale in preparation for full time RVing and have an offer pending...hope to close by Feb. at the latest.

So…just how hard is it going to be to get into Canada with the 5ver this fall? When we leave the DC area in July we're heading up to the Hudson River Valley area for a concert and sightseeing; and Connie has this wild hair that we should continue up to Montreal for these two bike races. That means we'll have t...

I went out of town and left my husband and his friend, well his friend used the kitchen sink for a disposal, now the bathtub fills up whenever I use the kitchen sink, and it wont drain, I have pieces of chicken coming up the drain, I have used a plunger, an hand auger, soda and vinegar, am at my wi...

This is the very beginning/thinking/dreaming about it stage, would love to hear how folks actually got from here to being on the raod full time! Thanks so much! Warmly, Cheryl

Hello all, We're on the path to full-timing, hopefully within the next 3-6 months. Sooo excited but nervous as well. We're very used to change, hubby is retired AF and we moved around quite a bit over the years. We're getting rid of all of the "stuff" that so clutters our lives which is so libe...

Hi everyone! Time to become a member as we work towards fulltiming. We are taking delivery next week of our 2012 Montana Big Sky 3625RE and can't wait to finally see it. It will be used for weekends in our park until the fall 2013 when we will head south for the first time on our new life adventure. I have be...

Hello All, My wife and I are super excited about our future plans to Full Time. We have 5 more years before my pension starts. We hope to have everything ready before then. We are both adventurous by nature so the open road has a very strong pull. We hope to be in our new home at least a year before we pu...

We currently have a TT, but I want a 5th wheel. My husband is insistent on wanting to get a golf cart so that would nix my whole 5th wheel plan. I don't like the toy haulers, to me they all look like a garage throughout. I want one with a bedroom and 1/2 bath in back like the Montana 346LBQ. I want more livin...

Hi Eveyone: Well this is my first post on my "new" websight. I have been reading some of the posts and everyone seems as excited about RVing as my wife and I. Karen, my wife of 41 years are. We have had some great times in our trailers and 5th wheel over the years. Some of our experiences have be...

Last weekend we purchased our new tow vehicle. Thumper located and purchased a brand new 2012 Ford F350 Dually. After having so many changes of heart over whether to purchase a 5th wheel or class A we are now we're locked in to a 5th wheel. That's a relief! Now to find the right 5th wheel. We have sec...

I would like to start some kind of blog, etc. to keep my family and friends up-to-date on our travels (when the day comes). What is the best way to do that? I have never "blogged", don't have Twitter or Facebook, so what is your advice? Any pointers and/or suggestions would be greatly appr...

Hi All, We just ordered our new 5th wheel and want to have solar put on it. Is there anyone place or anyone to talk to about what are the best panels to get, converter, batteries and what ever else you need to get this done. We are pretty clueless so any help would be great. Thanks

i want to make up a solar systems for my new house, who can tell me the details or some tips thanks!

I just want to inform everyone if they are thinking of selling their MH or TT not to get involved with National Multi List. They make promises and could care less if they sell it or not. I was to get half the fee back in 90 days if it was not sold and all I got was a bunch of lies. So save your money and stick with eb...

For those of you that drive motorhomes I have a questions on propane. How and when do you fill your propane tank? Unlike trailers and 5th wheels you can't take these big tanks out. Do you mainly fill at truck stops when filling with diesel or? Do camprounds have the ability to fill these tanks either on...

Hi Howard...We are planning on buying a washer/ dryer combo.. Do you have any advice on this subject? Thank You...
