Got the camera installed. Mounted the camera in a 3" PVC end cap for protection and mounted the cap to the ladder with u-bolt. Spliced in a 40' piece of telephone wire and mounted the transmitter at the inside front of the trailer near the battery box. Found a 12 volt wireless receiver switch...

I was born and raised a US citizen. My wife is Canadian. I spent 21 years in the Air Force and 24 years with GE Aircraft Engines so we have lived all over the world in our 42 years of marrage. We have been treated badly and nicely in many countries. The US customs are the worst when it comes to...

At first I thought this was just another scam, however after extensive checking it appears to be on the up and up. I applied for mine but have not received any refund yet.

If you are a Good Sam member you could see if the Highway mag staff wanted to take your case to Fleetwood.

All of the newer over the road trucks have engines that can be upgraded with a chip. You pay for the HP that you want. Aircraft engines are the same way. If you want more thrust, you pay for it. The Cummins engine is capable of safely producing far more HP and torque then you get stock from...

Thank you for that info. I found a dealer close by and will check it out.

I don't think you will ever stop the rockin, all you can do is try and minimize it. My latest and best method so far was to invest in the tire locks. They are like a scissors jack that goes between the tires and compresses into the tires. I have tried chalk's, king pin tripods, concrete blocks...

Hitching and unhitching is the reason I run a lube pad plus a light coat of grease. You should use one or the other just to prevent the metal to metal contact.

Since I started this post, I guess I will try to answer some of the questions. After visiting TT in Texas we decided to join. Cost up front is around $5000, dues are $399 a year. For that cost you get free stays at any TT resorts (75 total resorts), $8 a night at any RPI resort (200-300...

Another thing to check on; is the RV your buying capable of installing the slideout awning. My McKenzie Starwood does not have metal plates installed on the upper corners of the slidout so there is no place to mount the brackets. I found this out when Camping World tried to install awning. I was...
