    Lots of questions :)

    When I started RVing a few years back, I researched for a year to figure out what would work best for me. I first looked at T@B teardrops and Casita trailers because of their light weight and because I planned to tow with a Toyota 4 Runner. After considerable research, I decided to buy a half...

    2nd Newb Question(s) - Sway Bar and Electrical

    I had good luck with a Prodigy brake controller. I always used weight distribution bars when I pulled a trailer. It's a good idea to carry at least 1/4 tank of water in your fresh water tank, so the commode is flushable. To me, the best thing about traveling in an RV is to never have to use a...

    I don't think anyone mentioned that you can't always rely on the black and grey water tank gauges....especially the black water. Sometimes the sensor gets blocked and the gauge will tell you the tank is full when it is not. Also, try to be conservative on how much paper one puts into the black...

    Thank you, John and Geodrake, for your words of encouragement. There are so many features I love about this coach already. Winnebago's reputation for building reliable products was one of the main reasons I chose an Itasca. I have already found a wealth of information here in the forum that...

    I recently sold my faithful Bigfoot Travel Trailer and moved into the world of Big Rigs. My choice was a 2003 Itasca Horizon 32TD, the smallest diesel pusher that I was able to find in a price range that I could afford. Mileage is a low 27000 miles, with 250 hours on the diesel generator. The...
