Can't really remember about the way it went in.  It wasn't too hard to put in either time. The first time it was REALLY hot outside and that A/C had to work it's butt off.  The second time we were under more shade but it was still pretty warm outside. These are the only two times I've noticed...

Two different sites (same park) and two different dog bones.

We have a 50 amp trailer that we use a dog bone to go down to 30 amp quite often. The last 2 times we did this, the male 30 amp got hot and shows melting where it plugs into the 30 amp service.  We only use one A/C unit when doing this.  Any thoughts?

I wouldn't do that.  I am thinking about getting something like a couple of cheap screw jacks to put under the frame next to the axles.

Kind of what I thought but told the wife I would ask.  My job is done.

We have a 2014 30ft Walkabout. After we get level, snug down the stabilizers, chock the tires (I even have one of those that squeezes in-between the tires) we still have quite a bit of bounce and/or movement when walking around inside.  Any suggestions?

Some of the "tricks" are pretty cool so I thought I would throw in a couple of mine that I came up with pretty quick: 1. We used to put Walmart bags over our truck mirrors while camping. Birds were pecking at that other bird in the mirror which can screw up your mirrors.  My wife soon decided...

I also agree. We go to the woods for solitude. I've actually considered just carrying a second battery just in case anyway.

Good stuff from everybody.  I actually did a test. My battery was down to next to nothing so I backed the truck up to it, plugging the trailer in and in about 2 hours it was charged back to 3/4. For us being as far away from other campers (no offense) the better.  We normally spend 2 weeks up in...

Solar is sounding better and better.

If not: plug entire RV into generator using proper adapter cord, TURN OFF BREAKERS save for the Main and the Converter's.                                                                                What's the reason to turn off the breakers?              

When we disperse camp we only use lights.  We may start to use the water pump when the wife doesn't want to take a bath in the cold river. We used our 2004 Hi-Low up there for two weeks and still had juice to drop it down without any charging. This is a new 30 ft Walkabout. The battery will...

Wife's mothers day. Upgraded from a 1/2 ton extended cab and a 21' High-Low. Lost a lot of mpg but a lot more comfy.

Thanks. I would love a Honda but they're a little pricey for me.

We need a small generator to simply recharge that battery on our travel trailer when we are out camping in the rough.  We don't want a big one or want to spend a lot of money on one. Looking for advise. Like I said, we only want to plug in the trailer so it will recharge the battery once in a...
