    Converting an RV to a towed trailer?! Silly idea=fun discussion!

    Ladyk the GMC converted to a 5th wheel is a LOT different then the motorhome you pictured. the GMC is front wheel drive and as such when the drive train is removed becomes a trailer. And since the GMC motorhome has been brought up :) head over to GMC net and check them out! they come in 23 and...

    Refrigerator - Turns itself off while driving

    @metriRN It has been a very long discussion on the forum (and others) as to run or not run the propane while underway. for me I came to the conclusion that that great big 50 gallon Gasoline tank I haul around (and empty too quickly) has far less safety features then my fridge and propane tank...

    Speaking of campfires!

    Wow dry firewood at a campground! around here I am sure they soak it in anti flame solution for 2 weeks before selling it to you! It is so wet that IF you can get a small fire burning you have to dry the larger sticks on the grill so it will smolder for an hour or so. I plan on this season to...

    Onan 4000 Generator runs great but not supplying power

    See second paragraph of the post. "I know this RV has a Progressive Dynamics 5000 Series Automatic transfer Relay and Inverter" I would say that if the battery terminal was so corroded that it fell off then there is a good chance that the transfer switch is experiencing some corrosion of its...

    Canadian Winters and Floating Interlocking Vinyl Planking?

    Jeep owners COSTLY MODIFICATIONS AND INSURANCE.

    Self Insure. What I mean is, how much will the increase in premium cost you?  instead of paying the insurance company place that money in a savings account and leave it there. IF you total the jeep in the first year you lost sorry, BUT if you don't have damage and you keep the rig 10-15 years...

    Where to drain the antifreeze - popup - no grey water tank

    That looks like a good idea. when I redo the plumbing in the next couple of years I will see about adding that in. the pump is in a tiny little hole in the far back under the bed. So the less I have to crawl under there the better. (the motorhome is 1977 with OEM plumbing that is just begging to...

    Where to drain the antifreeze - popup - no grey water tank

    well seeing as I can't take the rig south for the winter, and I don't want to remove the water pump for the winter, I don't have much choice. I only put enough to fill the pump so really not that much. just have to fill above the outlet so the pump can pick it up then I pull the drain on tank...

    Where to drain the antifreeze - popup - no grey water tank

    Just a silly question? how much antifreeze do you have to drain? The last pop up I had that had no holding tank took less then 2 seconds to clear the plumbing using the compressed air method to clear the water lines. Then less then a gallon of the pink stuff into the fresh water tank to keep...

    The dream that just wont die...

    Not that I plan on going full time and I have never been to the west coast. But I know here on the east coast if you are staying in an RV park for more then a week you can get better rates and in some of the parks long term stays have hard wire cable. with that of course you can get internet...

    Please help - How to tell if mileage is legit?

    one of the easiest ways to tell is look at the brake pedal if over 150k then the driver would have worn one side or the other of the pedal. that and unless your buying a rare one-off super collectible million dollar machine. low mileage is bad. that means it has sat and the rubber is rotting...

    Fulltime rig consideration first purchase

    My first thought when I looked at the pics was that I don't like the color. I like green more then brown. then I read all the comments here. then I read the blog on the build. nice work. so now my thought is...where are you going to go? and of course I have heard that these school bus...
