Spray WD-40 on a soft cloth and wipe the affected area. WD-40 will remove a lot of "sticky" stuff, oils, diesel fuel stains, road tar, all sorts of stuff. It won't hurt your finish. After cleaning the affected area, use some dishwashing liquid soap and water and wash off the WD-40 residue...

Samsung since September 2019. No issues. Of course, it take a slightly different learning curve to use a residential refrigerator if all your prior experience has been with RV gas absorption / electric / DC refrigerators. But, once you figure it all out, well .... we like the residential much...

I saw this article: Click here DIY RV on the bottom of the Keystone Forum and it prodded a memory. We visited a private campground in Indiana a few times called, Cornerstone Retreat and Campground, near New Castle, Indiana. Click here. This is a private owned campground, family run, and has an...

Pull the pin for the breakaway switch and you'll hear a "hum" at the wheels of the trailer. If you hear the "hum" your brakes are working. Now, unplug the umbilical cord from the truck, pull the trailer forward while hitched. If you feel the trailer resisting to move forward freely, you KNOW...

Lumber, solid blocks. Heavy, but are the best. I got some timbers from a 100 year old barn some (40) years ago and cut them to length with a chain saw because the wood was so petrified. I've been using them ever since for ever camper and trailer we've had. I keep repainting them different...

Welcome PancakeBill to the forums. It sounds like, by your story, that you've been "around the campground" a time or two. So, use your past knowledge and you'll eventually find the "ideal" camper that will work for you. We're all "rooting" for you! Good luck!

Welcome and thanks for sharing your story. Happy camping!

Time and distance has always dictated how far we could travel. Mostly, the "time" factor, as we both had to return to work. Some time before Covid hit, my wife switched and became a home office. She did not have to go into the office any more. About the same time, my company started letting...

Looks like a good opportunity to switch over to Visible. It goes anywhere and every where with you. At home, we are located in a small pocketed area where AT&T, Verizon, or any of the major carriers can NOT come into (land lines or fiber optics). (we are literally in a land-locked area for...

My one-ton dully diesel long bed Chevy has spent most of it's life towing trailers. It towed a 35 foot Outback bumper pull that weighed in around 9,000 pounds. For the last 5 years it's been pulling 14,000 pounds. I just had 4 new rear tires put on. I normally drive in 2x4, not 4x4 when...

I did not read all the post, but the thought that came to my mind immediately was .... What does the wife want? You've been married long enough .... you know the deal! (happy wife, happy life).

You are absolutely correct. The farther East you go across the USA the less opportunity there is for boondocking. Folks traveling West of the Mississippi River have a hard time comprehending this, but public, open space is just non-existent on the East Coast (actually, almost anywhere East of...

I met my first cousin's grandson for the first time in my life just a few days ago. He's now 17 years old. (we were at the funeral of my "aunt", and she was his great grandmother. .... his great grandmother and my mother were sisters). Anyway, after the funeral dinner he started taking a...

I've had a couple things stolen. One was a yard ornament we put out. It was a small toy CLASS-C camper we had set up with a bunch of Nerdy Birds around it. We figured a kid took it. After all, it was a child's toy. The next thing that got stolen (years later) was a 2 foot high step ladder...

I've never had a motor home, only bumper pulls and fifth wheels. But, after having a 41 foot fifth wheel with 4 slides, (IF) I were to get a motor home... I'd get the biggest thing I could get. Even with a 41 foot trailer and a 22 foot long truck (total length 62 feet), I've had no problems...
