That is really a nice story. I'm sorry but I would have loved to have seen the backed up hose issue. Only reason is I came close to the same thing and just stood and looked at the hose for about 5 minutes before I got the guts to take on the job. Mine was not as bad as yours though. One thing I...

Changed my oil and air filter yesterday for the 1st time since I purchased my rv last year. No different then a car. But unlike car you can't roll in around here for a quicky oil change. Whole thing cost me about $70 and 30 minutes. This winter I'll be changing out the spark plugs & wires and...

I'm 47, wife 37, boy 3.5 and soon to be girl add on girl in a few months. We bought ours last year and have been out about 5 times. I will be fully retired in 3 years. From everything I have learned over the last year I'm glad I bought it now. Our intent is to travel with the kids a lot over...

House outlet is good. In fact installed  it brand new a in July because there was no outlet on that side of the house and it's where I park the RV. Best part about that is the panel box is 2ft below the outlet on that side of the house so it was a super easy 30 min install. Was very happy to...

Disregard. Brain Fart. Unplugged Gen from house but did not plug 110V wire into gen. 110V works. 12V System is on trickle charge. I do wonder why the 12v battery did not charge off the house though?

Ok I came home today and it was raining and wasn't sure if my closed the rv windows. I go outside and my stairs don't extend. Warning flag goes up. I try to start the RV and the battery is dead. The RV is plugged into the house every time it's parked. Outlet from the outside of the house is...

I ended up going with Thunder's idea. I wasn't able to find any pushpins locally that were not crazy in price. Marine store had them for $25 each. But I did find a regular one at HD at was 7/8 by 1/2. Drilled it yesterday, the chair moves maybe 1 inch to the sides but it's a lot better then the...

I tried the phone (google maps). Works, but no bridges or tunnels info. Tried our regular car gps, same issue. Bought POI's to load into google maps and our car gps. from lowclearence.com. Works but you have to load the POI's into your phone/tablet via excel. There is no way to ensure the POI's...

I have a 2004 with a vortec 8.1. The MH is 35ft. it has 48k miles. Runs very strong. I have not towed anything with it, but from the power it has shown I have no doubt it will tow a small to midsize car around 3 to 4k lbs. Keep in mind you have to include the trailer weight. I am often shocked...

Those are great. Thank you.

and i guess you did not read my post when i stated they purchased for weekend trips. I was not talking about fulltimers.

Spot on about the options. I love watching Big RV on tv seeing weekend users asking for a washer and dryer or a dishwasher. Makes me think that  after 2 trips they will be upset for the money they shelled out for those items. Paper plates and extra clothes. When I go on a weekend trip (fri, sat...

I'm looking to do this also with my voyager. If you purchase the conversion adapters? I'm not looking forward to removing and replacing the wiring as it seems like it's a nightmare.

Would you consider selling the locking swivel? I can't find them anyplace. Or what type of chair is it?
