    Trying to hook up battery and 30 amp fuse blows

    As an aside, I just did this exact thing last weekend on my brand new 2012 Sprinter 323BHS  ??? I had the same issue. My old camper had different color wires. Without even thinking, I hooked them up backwards. I went to slide my slideouts out, and they seemed to be operating backwards. Many...

    Hello & help with sales tax please

    Wow, really? A friend of mine who moved to NC was singing the state's praises regarding this same thing. He had to pay a percentage of his car's value rather than a renewal fee. never thought to apply it to RVs.

    The start of my remodel

    As someone to embark on a semi-remodel/repair, I am amazed at how well your project has turned out so far. Excellent job.

    Tiny Bumps on Inside of RV??

    I have this under a window of mine. The salesman told me it was an irregularity in the wallpaper, but it turns out it was from a leaking window.

    Poor Customer Service, or Standard Practice?

    I'm actually very handy. Just unfamiliar with the typical construction of a travel trailer. From what I gather, it looks to be OSB on a metal slideout frame without any sort of joists or anything. Pretty foreign to me. That's part of what is bothering me. There hasn't been a leak since they...

    Poor Customer Service, or Standard Practice?

    Well, the unit was leaking when I took delivery of it. I didn't notice the floor rot until a couple years later. I'm not sure what I was expecting you guys to say in response, I just can't believe the situation. I'm also not crazy about having to make this type of repair. I've been looking for...

    Poor Customer Service, or Standard Practice?

    I'm having a bit of an issue with the deal that I purchased my TT from and I thought I'd run it by some of you guys and see what your opinions are. In 2007, I purchased a 2005 Treasure Ship Galleon, which is a 30' TT with a 16' slide-out. We went to the dealer in search of a popup, and realized...

    Black Water "flush"

    I've learned this year how off those sensors are. I've taken to just looking down the hole when I think we may be getting close. That seems to be a better way to judge the level. If the slurry has gotten up the neck of the flush hole at all, it's time to do a full flush. The last couple of...

    Starting a seasonal RV campground

    Mobile power washing. WiFi. Cages for the nocturnal teenagers that don't know how to act in public.

    Ugly RV (warning, put on your sunglasses)

    Dear God.  :o We had a bright blue class A at the campground that rolled in a few days ago that may rival this. I should try to grab a pic.

    Nightmare of a Weekend at Alpine Lake

    I'm not sure if this is the right section for this type of thread, but I think it's close. The weekend is 4th of July weekend. The setting is Alpine Lake RV Resort in Corinth, NY where I have a seasonal site with my family. We picked our site off a map site-unseen (pun intended) for the very...

    Awning Support Issues

    That looks like a pretty good system and I assure you I'll be looking into getting one. I guess my initial question revolved around the weight of the awning and the screen room I have being burdened onto the support arms in the first place. It almost seems to me that a vertical orientation...
