    Recommendations for a lightweight camper

    I have a 14 ft Dutchmen that has all you are looking for in your trailer. Dutchmen and Coleman are Thor Industries products, and while Dutchmen does not seem to have a 14 ft in their current lineup, Coleman does, and it looks identical to mine. We are towing it with an 8 cylinder, so I can't...

    Rockwood Travel Trailers

    Well put! I have a brand that often gets bashed, but it suits how I use it.

    Which laundry detergent?

    Apparently, we both are dainty little things, so it is liquid Dreft baby laundry soap and Walmart Free and Clear dryer sheets for clothes & any of the Arm & Hammer sensitive skin versions for towels and sheets. Anything else takes the hide off and makes DH grumpy, and that is avoided at all...

    What manufacturers to stay away from

    I have been happy with my Dutchmen, mostly because of the dealer. I take it in every November to have it winterized and checked over.

    Taking online class and keeping the camping going

    Hi Tracelf -  Like JudyJB, I teach online, and like you, I camp on weekends. I am on a Sakai platform, and I can do a surprising amount of online classwork on my smartphone. So, explore that option before you camp. Even if you only keep up with updates, that is a plus. I am reluctant to...

    Thinking about getting into RV'ing, wondering about cost

    I went the opposite route from most on here. I went new for financing reasons. I went independent dealer for service after the sale. I went as small as possible with the basic amenities I needed  - a 14ft with bed, sofa, sink, refer, stove, toilet and shower. I also never intend to sell. If I...

    Lake Erie fishing

    Yes, that is a walleye caught on a perch line. We were at Geneva State Park in Ohio. Have fished off Port Clinton many a time, Razu13612. Always have to eat at the Jolly Rogers.
