    Grand Design Solitude 5th Wheel

    I had to have a bunk house. The solitude was my first choice but still went with grand design and a reflection 323 BHS instead. We looked at a Montannas, and found its interior to look on the cheap side compared to a grand design products. Same for many other models. I shopped for several months...

    General bunkhouse questions

    Let her deal with the black tanks and she will change her mind about the half bath. One black tank is enough. Toy haulers are meant for hauling toys. You give up otherwise usable floor space to go to your main living area to become a garage. Your 42 ft trailer just became a 30 footer with a 12...

    Tire Size going from 215 to 235

    Id doubt you will gain any issues out of roughly 1 1/4 inches. The only conecern I would have would be tandem axles are sometimes very close. and two tires together closes the gap by 2 1/2 inches. Mine are only about 5 inches apart as is.

    Residential fridge cooling issues - completing the install?

    I would be looking at the fridge itself. Is anything iced up? compressor driven models are a lot more forgiving than dual mode RV fridges. I replaced my norcold that caught fire in my TT a few years ago and did nothing other than cut out the old, put in the new one and close up around the top of...

    The myth of "insurance company requirements"

    Reading through some of this Ill just interject one point. It is illegal in nearly every city in the US to discriminate with dogs based on their breed. I've actually won this one in court with the Rottweiler I owned at the time that was a very calm and loving animal. The only time any animal can...

    Cleaning up after your pet.

    There is a way to prevent issues with this. My seasonal does not permit dogs off the campsite. If you want to walk it you put your animal in your car and drive 5 minutes to the public dog park or 10 minutes to a nice state park of 20 minutes to a dog beach. As such Ive only had this problem once...

    A question, Not a statement

    No I would not. As for nuisance dogs there are no bad dogs, only bad owners. The proprietor of the campground should be taking care of that problem by warning the owner then ejecting them if it continues. Ive only had one in my seasonal and I reported it. Owner thought it was cute. He was warned...

    Is CARRAGEENAN in pet foods a bad thing ?

    Its garbage! Its a not nutritive food stabilizer/thickener. If you buy a quality holistic food you wont find this as an ingredient. Too much trash on the market. Every single pet food that is sold in grocery stores for humans is not good for your pet. Its surprising to see how may dog foods that...

    Using two roof a/c units on 30 amps

    Can it be done, maybe depending on where you are getting your shore power from. Not every place has another source to run the second AC on. My rig has a 50amp connection but my seasonal campsite only has a 30 amp service. How much current is drawn is dependent on the voltage of the service. If...

    Suggestions for 1st timers/ young family??

    You definitely want to go with the Bunk house with kids, I'm on my second bunkhouse, bought the first when they were little and now they are 13 and 15. Unfortunately bunkhouse models seem to be the minority when it comes to available choices. Seems the demand is higher on other models but I know...

    General bunkhouse questions

    I looked at another model myself that is a little longer than the one I got, has a bit of a different set up in the bunk house but in the end the space was less, storage was less and it was all in the name of adding the half bath. I thought all of about 5 seconds on that one.....Lose storage...

    General bunkhouse questions

    Personally I would ditch the washer dryer. They are too small and take too long, been there and done that. Most camp resorts have a laundromat where you can do all of your laundry at once. As for bunk house there are several out there that have one bed in the bunk house that is a jackknife sofa...

    Newbie in NJ

    New guy here just trying to find a forum for RVs to call home. Was at the Grand Design forum but unable to find the correct hoop to jump through to pay the $12 fee without using poo pal so here I am. Just bought a 2015 Grand Design 323BHS and loving it after having a 2001 springdale 372 that I...

    Disapointed in Grand Design RV owners forum

    Ill drag up a zombie thread as a newbie here with my first post. I just found this forum and joined with a Google search grand design forum. I just bought a 2015 Grand Design 323BHS and joined over there. I didn't mind paying $12/year, my problem is the only way to pay is poo pal which I despise...
