Hello, I put my RV up for sale on Craigslist and the first call was a commercial business looking for me to pay $299 to advertise on 20 diff websites for as long as it takes to sell.  Allegedly they make their money from financing the RV being sold not the $299 from me. Sounds fishy but I...

I spent the last two winters in Lake Havasu City AZ with 20% humidity. Not a leak in sight, not to mention next to zippo rain in AZ. The wrinkles are EVERYWHERE not just in one area of the RV. The RV is in storage now for the summer as I drove my car to MA for the summer. I'll know pretty fast...

My 2003 Adventurer 35U suddenly has wrinkled faux wood trim. It was fine for the first 18 months I owned it and then it suddenly got wrinkles, like me ;-) All over the interior of the RV.  I've been full-timing the whole time and had only a dozen or so of 100 degree days in the RV over the...

I'm replacing the flush ball in my toilet and was wondering if anyone "waxed" or spray siliconed this plastic part prior to installation so it stays clean and slippery longer. The new one doesn't state that it has a coating already (like teflon). -Eric

Be sure to read the towing section of your Prius manual. My 2007 Prius could not be towed with a dolly or 4-wheels down, only on a flatbed. Each wheel has a generator for charging the batteries and you don't want to damage anything or be prepared to pay big $$$.

The Power Control Center on my Winni Adventurer 35U is in the hallway next to the bathroom. It has the switch to start the generator, the tank levels, the power level coming into the RV (30A/50A) and the little red LED that glows when the 15W solar panel is providing power. You need to remove...

Try not to laugh, but has anyone ever looked into exploring any of the Hawaiian islands via a rented RV? There are no ferry services between islands. -Eric

Thanks for the Silver City to-do suggestions. Anybody boon-dock in/near Silver City? Galveston TX? Houston? New Orleans? the other gulf states heading toward FL? I like to avoid CGs if a safe free area is nearby.

Is Silver City NM worth visiting at 5 mpg? Better to skip and go to Deming instead? I'm more into pretty vistas/photography than restaurants.

I'm staying in Lake Havasu City and was wondering if I would need a special pass for the ranger gate to drive down via car and visit for one of the group get-togethers? -Eric

If you have heated mirrors make sure the switch is off. On my 2003 Adventurer some genius decided the heated mirrors can be turned on without the key being in the ignition and then they decided to put the switch next to the power window switch. Very easy to hit the wrong one by mistake and...

So I found the wiring and it is located in the power control center. All I had to do is find the connector for the "Solar Charging" LED. Of the four wires, two are ground wires and the other two are solar in and solar out. The solar out goes directly to the house batteries so I snipped that wire...

I installed 810 watts of solar panels for my coach batteries and would like to take the 10-15 watt factory installed solar panel and connect it to my chassis battery. That way it will trickle charge my chassis battery while dry camping for a month or so. I don't want to run a new wire from the...

That's too funny Joy because I have the same RV (except it's the 2003 version) and have wanted to do the same for over a year. Did you finally get rid of them with habitat?  If I were in NM I'd help you but I'm in Lake Havasu City AZ. Please keep us informed what changes you make to your RV...

I would like to know if after removing the couch and perhaps the dinette and installing a custom desk/recliner area was it more difficult to sell the RV? I'd like to go from couch/dinette to L-shaped work desk and recliner but wonder what will happen to the value and ease of selling the RV in...
