We have been a BOONDOCKERS WELCOME HOST since 9/19 and have hosted over 140 BW GUESTS since 3/20. We are RVer's ourselves (1993 PACE ARROW 35V) and have been very impressed with the caliber of members that we have hosted. They have been considerate of our time, respectful of our property and...

darsben & Gary,  Thank you for your advice.  I have been RVing in a motorhome for over 30 years and have always taken care of my equipment, especially my tires.  I take my 35' Pace Arrow into my commercial tire dealer every spring for a tire inspection and inflation check, which has served me...

FOLKS,  I have recently purchased a 1986 FLEETWOOD Prowler M-25N bumper-pull travel trailer.  The unit is in really good shape for its vintage, but as yet, I have been unable to find a manual for it, online or otherwise.  I really would appreciate any help that you can give me in that area as I...

Folks,  I have a 1993 Pace Arrow 35' and enjoy dry camping.  We recently installed 2 @ Interstate SRM-4D deep cycle 12 VDC batteries into our forward passenger side basement compartment, using a steel frame to reinforce the compartment floor.  We then installed a used Xantrex 3000 W truck...

Folks, A word of advice based on experience!  The first thing that my wife and I do with any provided keys to our vehicles is to organize them onto a ring in the order in which they will be used, ie; door deadbolt / door latch / ignition / basement / sub-compartments, etc., and tag them.  We...

Folks, While not a motorhome, I have a 1996 Lincoln Continental requiring Premium fuel, but also live in Cheyenne, WY at 6400 MSL.  My regular mechanic told me not to waste my money on Premium fuel as its main purpose (higher octane) was to prevent "Knock" in the higher compression engines. ...
