Hi Folks - Has anyone taken their RV on the Bellingham WA to Alaska ferry with a dog? From what I understand, pets must stay in RV except for several times a day to relieve themselves, and you are not allowed to stay in the RV with the pet.  I really want to take this trip, but the thought of...

Looking for a way to keep the camper battery charged without having to keep camper pluged in 24/7. I'm thinking that something like the BatteryMINDer would be bettery, plus save the onboard charging system. However, can I used the Batteryminder and keep the battery hooked up so I can use the...

Our MPG is only 10 months old, and now the weather stripping for the slide is coming off the body; looks like the glue or glue on the 2-sided tape was not up to spec. Since we are the 2nd owners, we have no warranty, but hard to believe the gasket is falling off after only 10 months. The gasket...

You can call them and they will walk you through the connections. They did that with me, and their customer service is great.

Wow,....this topic is so confusing. Talked to a 3rd RV dealer today and he indicated the same as the other two, that I really only needed sway control for a such a light trailer as the MPG, and that WDH's were meant for heavier and longer trailers. The MPG has a loaded GVWR of 3,800 Lbs, but do...

Our Tow vehicle is a 2011 Pathfinder which has a Towing Capacity of 6,000 Lbs and a hitch weight of 600 Lbs. Even if we were to somehow manage to fill the R Pod up to it's 3,800 Lb GVWR, the hitch weight at 12% would be 456, and at 15% it would be 570 Lbs which is under the 600 Lb hitch weight...

The dealer is quoting me a price of $750 for the purchase and installation of a Equalizer 600/6000Lb WDH. I can buy the Equalizer hitch and a 2-5/16 ball on line for $466, so he is charging what appears to be a high installation cost ($284)? I can buy an E2 Round Bar hitch and ball on line for...

OK, we got our new Tow vehicle, a 2011 Pathfinder which has a Towing Capacity of 6,000 Lbs and a tongue weight of 600 Lbs. Our TT will be either an R Pod, or MPG with a GVWR of 3,800 Lbs. Even if we were to somehow manage to fill the R-Pod/MPG up to it's 3,800 Lb GVWR, the hitch weight at 12%...

So, if I use something like a E2 WHD, it should tow adaquately?

We're looking to get an MPG or an R-Pod, and the GVRW is 3,800Lbs for both, and looking to see if any of you guys tow with a 2011 Ford Explorer. Thank you

Our steep driveway presents a challenge, and the Four Winds 19G or Siesta 21BC look like a possibility. Would like to know if any of you guys have/had one, and what your overall opinion is. Thank you

We're looking at small light trailers, and so far the Mini lite ETC 184, Rpod 175, and MPG184 are the front runners. Unfortunately, the only one we've been able to see so far is the MPG184. However, the floor plan of the Mini lite ETC 184 looks slightlly better. Any of you guys have experience...

Do any of you guys have/had a Rockwood Minilite ETC 184? Just wondering what the overall quality is like. Thank you

Just looking for some general information for a B for me, wife, and Yellow Lab. What's the MPG on Chevy and Ford based B's, VS Sprinter based B's. I know the Chevy based B's are slightly lower in cost, but how do they compare overall to the Ford and Sprinter based B's. Which is easier to...

One more question (well more than one). Since I don't have a 30 Amp recepticle at home to plug our MH into at the house, Can I let the refrigerator cool down overnight on the propane? Will there be enough battery power to run it all night? Is there any other way to get electricity to the MH...
