Help.... My son wants to buy a used fifth-wheel toy hauler. He has narrowed his choice to a 2006 Keystone Raptor 36-foot with a 12-foot garage and a 2008 Sportsman Sportster, which is 35-feet long with a 10-foot garage. I know two people who had Keystones and said they had braking issues. Both...

Always have used a battery charger cuz I didn't know any better and never thought of just plugging the RV into the house...............Yeah, dumb???!!!

Both auxiliary batteries are dead, cuz I forgot to turn them off two weeks ago. My question: Will plugging the main RV power cord into a socket in the garage charge the auxiliary batteries? Or, do I have to charge them as I always have in the past, with a battery charger? Thanks for the help. It...

To: Lowell and Trailer Traveler.............Thanks!!

We're thinking about spending 3-4 days in August at Apache Trout campground in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in eastern Arizona. Based on what little I have found online, it sounds like a nice place. Has anyone been there?

The air conditioner or our 2002 Tioga has never been serviced. My son tells me it is not cooling enough for him and his family. He takes the RV where it's hot. My wife and I go where it's cool. Questions: 1. Does the AC need to be serviced occasionally? 2. If we use the AC when dry camping, is...

Thanks for all of the posts! One of them suggested I do a search on this site for Eternabond. Wow! There were 250 posts. Good advice and comments there. Being computer challenged, I did not know such a search could be conducted...

I'm searching for an effective and easy to use product to cover possible leak sources on the roof of the RV. It's a 2002 Tioga. We had the rubber roof replaced three years ago. I stumbled onto a website for Eternabond. Based on the info on the site, it seems like a good product. Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the answers! Some of them were even a little humorous!

We have a 2002 Tioga, 23 feet. Three years ago, we had the rubber roof replaced. It leaker terribly after a heavy rain. The repair bill was $4,000. Last week, after applying a two-step roof cleaner/preservative, a little water got inside the cab-over. Not sure where it leaked. The local RV...

Problem solved!!! The water line would kink when we slid the slide-out out! We used a flashlight to peer into the dark under the sofa and through a cup holder to the water line. The problem had nothing to do with the RV being on the blocks. It was simply that when the RV was parked and on the...

How do I know how level the RV should be to eliminate the risk of damage to the fridge? Sometimes, it's a challenge to level it at some RV parks and campsites.

More information: My son said the pump would run and that it would not shut off for what he said was about 40 seconds, after turning off the faucet. The water pump is new. I installed it a few months ago. We assume, and we did not think to ask, that he filled up the water tank upon departure...

(Typo)      If it's that simple, he must be my wife's son!

If it's that simple, he must but my wife's son!
