Thanks for all the advice.  We did not run out of power, water or room in our gray and black tanks, but we were pretty careful with our usage.  Our gauges never seemed to read correctly, so we have no idea how close we came to running out. It was a great trip to Earthquake Lake in Montana, and...

Thanks for all the helpful responses!  I think the idea of testing it before we go is genius--we are definitely unplugging today, taking a picture of our gauges, and seeing what happens with them over the next couple of days.  We watched the Loloho video on boondocking, and it was terrific.  I...

  My husband is working at Yellowstone NP this summer, living in our Jayco TT in an RV park with full hookups, and I have flown out to spend a couple of weeks.  This is our first RV experience and have owned this unit since April.  He has a few days off and we want to try out boondocking in a...

We felt the same way.  We began at an RV show, talked to multiple dealers and owners, read up a lot here and elsewhere, then rented for a weekend what we thought was a good model for us (it wasn't).  After more research we finally settled on a model and looked around the country for the best...

Rich, you do make a good point.  Maybe the dealer doesn't matter, but I've heard enough bad stories from people--like scheduling delivery of the unit and it being days later than promised, calling after the sale with a question and no one will talk to you, and going for warranty work and it...

Thanks to all the good advice from this forum, we've found a smaller TT model with everything we want--floorplan, outdoor kitchen, inside height for my 6'4" husband.  It's the 2016 or 2017 Jayco Jay flight 24RBS. Here is our buying dilemma.  Our local Jayco rep is Camping World, who has a...

Thanks so much for all this great feedback.  It?s so helpful!  Using a nationwide Craigslist search has really helped see what is truly available, what things cost, etc.  We?re looking at another model now that is a little smaller/lighter, but we?re definitely taking the forum advice if we go...

My husband will be working at a National Park beginning in May, living in a travel trailer for about four months, probably each summer.  I--and others--will for a few weeks at a time.  We've never owned an RV.  We're planning on driving it out there, but wintering it out there and not hauling in...

Thank you all for your very helpful responses.  I had no idea there was something besides weight that matter in towing--we will definitely eliminate Fifth Wheels, then, even the lightest ones.  I like the idea of looking up the MSRP and using that as a quality ranking.  We will concentrate on...

I apologize ahead of time for this long post and list of questions! My already-retired husband and I would like to live in an RV in the summers work at a National Park when I retire, and it looks like he will be doing it alone next summer--probably Yellowstone--from May 1 until September 30. ...
