    walmart and not using slideout/jacks

    Wow I haven't been on this forum in a long time and I don't know why. None of the other forums have a section like this and this is what we do with ours, street, drive way; Wally and well just about anywhere we're welcome. Yes there are suggested ideas for being what we'll call a respectful...

    DOMETIC FRIDGE CHECK LIGHT COMING ON IN AC AND LP MODE

    Well I don't know if it's a bad practice, but I don't turn off the propane during the winter months. Before winterizing I have the LP and the gas tanks topped off.  I noticed this Spring the flame on the stove burner flickered a little but evened out after burning for a few minutes. Willis

    Measure would put an end to free store 'camping' for RVs in Maine

    Hmm! disclaimer required ;D quote is not directed towards the poster but quoted without malice. No offense meant I've read statements like that quite often. Anyway that's Hog Wash, I live fairly close to Wal Mart and could care less how many RV's are there or how long they stay. Makes no...

    Considering a canine friend - problem, issues on the road?

    Hi John, sorry for your loss. They may be called pets but in fact become adopted children. Your being used to cats a smaller dog may be more to your liking, I do believe they're a lower maintenance than a larger dog. Less exercise required, smaller loads to pick up after than the larger breeds...

    Ill Omen or Just a Bad Start to this Season

    Well guess I may as well continue with getting ready for a trip. Had new brake pads all around, the transmission serviced last fall and on the chassis side of getting ready all that should of had to be done this year was change the oil and filter, check the torque on the spark plugs and tire...

    Anyone having dampness/rot issues with Forest River trailers?

    Wow those estimates are enough to scare the bejeebers out of a person. Why not do it yourselves. I started with installing a modified step to make it easier for DW to get into the MH. To mount the steps where I wanted them required mounting to the floor. After cutting two access holes (kitchen...

    WilleyB' VXL2000

    Well the dinette was a challenge in that when the old panel was removed the frame became quite floppy. It was held together with those staple like wires. The first thing to do was to make a strong frame work for the new Oak veneer paneling.  This changed the dimensions a bit. I did this work...

    WilleyB' VXL2000

    Thank's Ron, I forgot to mention I used screws for attaching all of the new trim. I figured that was the best way in case I had remove it for some reason. As it turned out, that was a wise move because of some dry rot in the kitchen that I'm dealing with now. The beauty of the screws is...

    Just bought our first RV, so here's my first post.

    A warm welcome to the forums to you Tizzo. Well ours is also our first and will likely be the last unless a disaster occurs to it. I have put in just too much time on it making it our own little home away from home. We're just getting out of Winter here and modifications and repairs are in full...

    WilleyB' VXL2000

    Well since my mods are an ongoing thing I best try to get this up to date. Our little  rig is an ex rental so it shows some scars.  Not being satisfied with the poor job they did of replacing the flooring before we took delivery, and a mushroom growing from a crack in the kitchen floor covering...

    How much can you really secure your RV? What items should you invest in?

    Like Pat says. our compartments are always locked, so we just lock the doors and go to bed. Now if someone wants to play with our fur baby they're welcome.  ;D Cheers Willis

    Need Seat Belt Extensions

    In actual fact the seat belts I removed were of a standard length that would have worked in a car (of days gone by  ;D) that's why I got the rear shoulder belts from a car. Now you'd have to cut some of the belt off but that's the one you'd put the buckle on so no problem as it's the one you'd...
