I've got a 2016 Majestic 28a, and I'm planning on adding a backup camera. I see some come with side cameras. Do these really add much? I feel like my side mirrors are fine.

We are picking up a used Class C camper tomorrow (Majestic 28) and will be keeping it in our driveway (unless the neighbors raise a ruckus) in Atlanta, where wintes are mild but temperatures do reach the 20s at times. Is it enough just to drain the tanks, or do I need to put in antifreeze? I'd...

We just bought a 2016 Majestic 28a from a private owner who purchased it 18 months ago from Cruise America. It still has three years on its warranty. Wish us luck! P.S. Does anyone know of any forums dedicated to Cruise America camper owners?

I'm considering getting back into RVing. For the foreseeable future, I'll need to live on the road in TN 3 nights a week from August to May and I'm thinking to do that in an RV and then use the RV at other times of the year for recreation. We are a family of three with a medium sized dog. I...

To clarify, I'm no longer on Sabbatical, though maybe I will be in the future again. I'm figuring to use the RV for my family for school vacations and summer trips. In the past we mostly stayed at camp grounds, though we did boondock once in the Badlands, and that was pretty great. I used to...

here's the 30 ft

It looks to me like the difference is more in between wheels than rear overhang.

Hi All, I'm debating between getting a 25 or 30 foot Class C. There's a difference of about 2.5k in the models I'm considering. Neither has slides. Don't want them. I was originally thinking of the smaller because maybe I could keep it in my driveway. But now I'm thinking we probably don't have...

So what would be a reasonable amount to imagine spending for a truly good, used, Class C camper, on the smaller end, between say 22 and 25 feet?

Does the tow capacity include the weight of the people and gear in the car itself?

I have a six cylinder suburu outback with a towing capacity of 3,000. I've seen some used pop-ups with dry weights of 1,700 to 2,000 lb. Is this car feasible for towing pop-ups or is there something I'm not getting?

I'm thinking about getting back into RVing after a few  years off. And I was toying with the idea of getting a used Class C. I see ads on Facebook and the like for some Class C motorhomes that are 20 plus years old and look like a good deal. Is it possible to get a decent used Class C for under...

Well, I took the plunge and got a Honda 2000 and left my two 12v deep cell batteries as is. We've used the generator twice so far and it managed to run the refrigerator and some appliances without much problem, though it runs through the gas pretty quickly. I got about two hours on a gallon...

We're staying at a place where there is a service that will come out and flush your black and grey tanks, clean and sanitize them for $175. Is this worth it? We're not having any real problems. The grey tank sensors don't always work right. My thinking is they probably have some gunk on...

But if I plug the RV into a generator, it will recharge the batteries just like if I plug into shore power, am I right? I discovered my inverter is 1000 watts,btw, if that makes any difference. The inverter only affects the fridge. I'm thinking now I might get one or a pair of Yamaha 2000s and...
