    How hard is it to pull a toad?

    No worries, kdbgoat - having a screen name that contains the word "Boy" invites gender mistakes :)

    How hard is it to pull a toad?

    Hmm, chassis is actually an E350 not 450, need to look up specs to find that. I do know that the previous owners full-timed with a toad and felt comfortable with it. I haven't weighed this rig yet which is on my to-do list, as it's been majorly renovated, but I think as much heavy stuff got...

    How hard is it to pull a toad?

    Thanks SeilerBird. If I learned anything hauling horses, it was that you always want more truck than you need for what you're pulling, and it worries me being so close to my tow capacity. Thinking maybe of trying a cheap scooter while I get more accustomed to driving my rig and revisiting the...

    How hard is it to pull a toad?

    Darn, looks from the remco link that my Mercedes can't be towed 4 down. Unfortunately, I don't have any local friends with RV/toad I can test out. Still brainstorming...

    How hard is it to pull a toad?

    So I'm an almost absolute newbie - have had my 24' class C for a few months and have only driven it a little - boyfriend usually takes the wheel, but I am planning on doing a lot of solo traveling this summer. I had originally thought I would buy a scooter, but am having second thoughts about...

    Does *anyone* like standard RV wall panel designs?

    TSJ, there's a mighty can of worms! I do understand the point about not making major changes to a 2017 model, but my RV had already been majorly renovated before I bought it so keeping the original interior had gone out the window long before my purchase. Interestingly, there is a whole...

    Does *anyone* like standard RV wall panel designs?

    BikerFlex&HappyJen, the RV's previous owners installed those shades - they are great! I'd just removed them to wallpaper in the "before" picture. I'll check them to see if there's a brand name on them somewhere. On another note, I wish I could have done what you're doing with *real* wood...

    Newbie - safety measures for keeping the dog cool? Ice-powered AC?

    Thank you for the reality check. Daytime high is supposed to be 94 degrees at my destination this weekend and I was like, "OMG I'm leaving my dog in a vehicle!!!" Deep breath. It's all good.

    Newbie - safety measures for keeping the dog cool? Ice-powered AC?

    I am probably just being paranoid, but so worried about losing power and my dog overheating. I'm more concerned about a short or an AC failure vs the park losing power...Am I being paranoid or is this a reasonable fear? I'm totally new at this...

    Newbie - safety measures for keeping the dog cool? Ice-powered AC?

    Hi All! I've read a lot of posts about heat sensors and do plan to get one, but also looking for ways to keep my dog cool in case of power or AC failure when I'm away from the RV. I purchased a few battery powered fans and going to test them to see how much cooling power they actually have as...

    Adhesive suggestion for rubber floor mat in cab area?

    The cab area in my MH has heavy mat rubber flooring that has separated from the plywood subfloor where the cab meets the coach. I thought it would be an easy fix with Liquid Nails but that product doesn't even come close to holding it down. Any suggestions for adhering rubber mat to plywood that...

    1990 Tioga Arrow 26.5 Complete Overhaul

    Hi and welcome! I can't offer much advice as I'm a newbie too, but I have a 2003 Tioga 24D that had some water damage and was completely gutted and remodeled by previous owners. Based on their work, my one suggestion would be to be careful of removing interior walls, as the previous owners...

    Best folding camp table/chairs

    Does anyone have a great recommendation for a folding camp table/seating choice, preferably a one-piece unit? Nothing available for me locally but the number of options online is overwhelming. Looking for something sturdy that folds up as small as possible, price is not a big factor as I'd like...

    The life of our lemon...

    Love, love, LOVE what you've done with the interior - the floor and walls look fantastic! If there hadn't been any issues to fix, would you have done the floor and walls like that? If not, the lemony lemon-ness was certainly a blessing in disguise...
