Unfortunately there will be those that think this kind of thing is OK because, well, they are only rocks. The end result will be that many of these pristine areas will be either off limits altogether or severely restricted because of the actions of a few idiots. We are seeing this happen more...

I just left the plastic section in the heater. It was there for months with no ill affect. It finally washed out on its own when emptying the tank. Chuck

If you're driving the latest and greatest or you use your vehicle every day you can probably get by OK. If your driving an older rig that sits for long periods of time or don't use your generator as often Seafoam helps a lot with another well known fuel additive called Ethanol. My genset carb...

So you're driving across country in areas you have never been before and you don't know which roads to take but you know which roads won't have cell phone service to pre download maps? Just want to understand how that works? A dedicated RV Gps can be had for $300 to $400 or even less if you shop...

Add it to our last gas tank, 6 to 7 cans, any time we will be parked for extended periods. Run the genset once monthly off this tank and never have problems with surging or failure to start. I have been using Seafoam for home and marine use for decades to keep my engines clean and smooth...

Let's not turn this thread into something about loose cats in your flower bed. The OP ask a good question. The issues with dogs in campgrounds is get worse every year from what we can see. Careless owners that feel the rules don't apply to them are the biggest problem. Our cat has been attacked...

There are scams for Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, Netflix, Hulu, AMC+, fill in any other streaming service, UPS, Fedex, shall I go on? Never respond to one of these emails. If you're curious or concerned log in to the actual website that you normally use or call directly. The scammer depend...

Mark, I didn't say this is the fourth. I said it is the third. I didn't plan on replacing this until I tried to lock it one day and the key would no longer fit or turn in the cylinder. Fortunately it was unlocked when it failed. Sorry but I don't have the money or the room in the RV to carry...

I have posted on a couple of sites to spread the word to as many RVers as possible so that others will no what they might expect if dealing with TriMark. I am contesting this with my Credit Card company. But that doesn't change how I was treated in dealing with them. Chuck

After the fact, it looks like this is the only Bauer lock that will fit for us... https://bauerproducts.com/product/bp-14d/ No dead bolt, but that's OK. Next time. Chuck

I'll take a look and see if this will work for the next time, and there will be a next time. Chuck

The locking cylinder that you insert the key into on first the dead bolt and later the lock on the paddle both failed. The the key could not be inserted. Chuck

The third TriMark lockset for our motorhome failed and like an idiot I made the mistake of contacting TriMark for a replacement. I will never make that mistake again. After a discussion on the phone with Abby Lichtenberg about the replacement needed I identified the lock I needed from two photos...

Based on your question, I'm not sure you will see any improvements. We had Dish for decades and had very few problems except for price increases. You still will need a replacement receiver and still will need to either manually point a dish or upgrade to an automated dish system. So how will...

I personally would not pay one penny for anything RV Life. If any forums become paid subscription, see ya later.
