    5W jacks powered by tow hookup?

    Would a solar trickle charger work over the winter ? You could start takeing them with you when you put the rv in storage.

Our Chevy 3500 dually does fine with the toyhualer but even with the golfcar & all terrain mobility scooter still under max gvwr of 20K. I allready have the Tx class A nonCDL so...

    What vehicle to choose?T

    here ,Tx, you can make a few simple mods and then you can register as a motorhome. The escapees forum has a HDT forum and lots of folks drive big rigs. Lots have added hauler beds with a place to haul a smart car or motorcycle

    Jayco vs Grand Design

    We recently traded our 2011 Jayco Eagle 5er for a Grand Design Momentum toy hauler. We had looked but never found a Jayco TH with the 2nd full bath so went with the GD. The Jayco held up well and we used a lot, even lived in it for a year building a new house. Both are good RV's but remember...

    What camera is good for back of TT?

    Im too cheap for the Furrion camera. Bought a Vastend wireless with 7 in display that mounts on the furrion mount off amazon, $115.36 total. Works great as both backup and rearview plus it can record. Can have up to 4 cameras. My rv is 45 ft + CC LB truck and still good reception. I think all...

    TrailAir Center Point equalizer air-ride suspension

    Pin is pretty heavy now with a W/D & Onan . Not really getting things inside tossed, its the Boss wants it smooth. Actually the bounce is after hitting these super pot holes & bridge expansion joints our roads now have. Ive allways added shocks to our RVs and they helped some. The Grand Design...

    TrailAir Center Point equalizer air-ride suspension

    Anyone added these to your 5er ? our heavy toy hauler needs something to help with bounce. Im probably starting with the Roadmaster triple axle shock kit but Im curious about the air bag equalizers.

    Tragic, yet avoidable accident.

    Keystone 2020-which crank to manually bring in slide?

    Our 2011 Jayco you had to lay on your back and use a ratcheting box end wrench. I never had to do this but I got lucky as my slide wouldn't go out after getting home from a trip The owners manual said you used a socket with the handle that you lowered the spare tire with but there was no way to...

    Doing laundry on the road

    We have allways kept our RV's ready to roll with nonperishable groceries stocked and our RV cloths which is just 4 days worth. Now that we have the stack washer & dryer I may not need but one change of clothes :eek:

    RV power consumption plugged in and on propane

    It can be done cheaper useing separate boxes but the freeloading cheapskate landlord should pay for this along with splitting the service into the house, but I'm kinda thinking why would you get into this situation to begin with ? I've also kept my Friends and money separate. They stay friends...

    RV power consumption plugged in and on propane

    As a former landlord of 97 total rentals I've had to put in leases things such as this and even more off the wall. You can buy a rv pedestal with a meter and get it installed then everyone will know thier usage. Me, I would move now.

    RV power consumption plugged in and on propane

    Do you have a lease that states your landlord gets to freeload electricity & water ? Just unplug her. She'll then tell you what' she has hooked up.
