long-term

I’m curious how most of you handle long-term RV storage, especially during extreme heat or winter months. Do you prefer covered storage, indoor storage, or just a quality RV cover? Have you noticed a real difference in exterior condition or maintenance costs over time? Would love to hear what’s...

Where Tom & I stayed often for a week or so, and where Peter and Collette stayed for the summer, who we met several times:

For those of you who have the Mindful Gray cabinetry. How's it holding up? Does the light color mark or look good still? And the most important - would you order it again or go to the darker woods?

I have seen a few threads on this subject, but not really gotten a good feel for my question. As I see that these motor coaches are a rolling frame with various subsystems integrated to make a nice coach. My question really has to do with the end of the Entegra product line and support for...

We live in Ohio and are considering snowbirding to the Phoenix area next winter. Looking for a RV park where we could stay for 4-6 months. We would fly back to Ohio a few times during that time and wouldn't want to worry about the coach. Any recommendations?

This beat up Class A has been sitting in the parking lot at a Walmart in Yuma for God knows how long. It is disgusting and explains why many businesses refuse to let RVers spend the night. At least today he is not spread out over several parking stalls.

I thought I was going to escape the DEF head curse, but the Grinch got me, and I got a CEL just as I was pulling into my RV site on Christmas Eve. I quickly found that Spartan's 7-day-a-week customer service isn't really there, and that they only warrant new parts for 90 days, so I was out of...

We will be making a last trip for a while and storing our 2018 Citation Sprinter 24 SR for an extended time (year or more). Shore power not available. Harbor Freight has a 10 watt solar priced reasonably. Anyone have experience with this product for long term storage. Batteries are factory...

This isn't really about what's better 7.3l or v10 but what's going to be easier and cheaper to keep on the road and running for the next 30 years Debating between going with an older 7.3l diesel (ideally in the 99-2003 range though found a nice '97 for sale) or going with a newer 2008-2014 v10...

So I have been reading/watching/researching for a long time about roof issues ( and other issues ) But the roof... doesnt seem to matter... newer ...older... cheap ...expensive In the end, MOST roofs are a thin layer of rubber type material ( tpo, epdm ) that is ( hopefully ) glued down to...

My wife and I are going to look at a 2014 Winnebago View 24J, built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis any thoughts on the diesel motor and the RV itself? It has 94K miles on it. Thanks Dale

I've read that beginning in some of the 2026 models, Newmar is no longer using the third party component known as SilverLeaf, and is now incorporating their own in house system called ATC. Has anyone found advantages or disadvantages to this new system. Any "Pro's or Con's" I understand that...

About 17 years ago I replaced the EDPM roof on my 22 foot 1996 Fleetwood Prowler trailer. I went overboard on the Eternabond But 17 years later, things have held up pretty good, but the EDPM roofing material is losing the white layer and the Eternabond is flaking. The roof needs a re-coat...

Not real happy with the sleep number mattress that came with our coach. The Wilderness RV mattress has a lot of good reviews. Reviews are sometimes misleading, so I would like to get some comments from folks who have actually purchased this particularly mattress and used it over the long term...

We purchased a new 2020, 30ft,Rockwood Ultra Light 2608BS. We thought it was perfect with plenty of storage. However now after owning it for five years plus we’ve come to the conclusion that they look good but in reality they’re junk. First trip out had to replace the inverter/converter which...

hey all - any long-term reviews on pop tops that have been resprayed with bedliner? It's been on my list of things to do for years, but the trouble of revamping my solar panel system and the sheer amount of work needed to respray the top has always gotten in my way. As I get closer to actually...

This thread is for the general discussion of the classified ad 2008 Casita Patriot. Please add to the discussion here.

Anyone have a drive-around vehicle shipped to your long-term destination park? If so, what transporter and how did you select them? Planning to ship our small SUV from San Francisco to Mesa, AZ for our 5-month fall/winter/spring stay since wife does not want to drive it down and will not drive...

Recently I used the Dicor Self Leveling sealant for the first time on the roof of our Dynamax and learned a few things. On straight joints I put masking tape on each side of the joint to get a neat & straight edge. You should remove the tape about 5-10 minutes after application of the sealant...

Class C motorhome on a 2021 Sprinter chassis with 23,000 miles. Last fall we took a 10,000 mile trip. Following that trip I changed the oil and filter, filled the fuel tank and placed the RV in covered (but not enclosed) storage. I anticipated using the RV this summer and fall. But a health...

Hi All - We took delivery of our new 5.0 at the beginning of June. It is stored outside and we have taken it on only two short trips this summer. The first time we noticed a slight bit of water underneath the 2nd step and thought it was due to our gear since it had rained during the trip. The...

After experimenting with some options to restore and preserve the outside of our unit I wanted to pass along my findings. This is a 2016 Sprinter 319MKS that has spent its life, so far, outside. And as most do the finish on the archaic gel coat was going downhill after only 3 to 4 years and even...

I understand there as many opinions of Thousand Trails are there are campers. My question is for the Campers using the “Seasonal” or “long term” features. My understanding is that, basically, all TT Parks offer month to month for several months up to one year. Each Park sets its own pricing...

Hello Skoolies! We are a traveling family of 5, plus a pooch, who have been on the road full-time for just about 2 years. We are looking for a seasonal spot in southwest Maine from May through October. We are game for any situation, rent, work-trade, child care help, whatever. We would need...

Hi! My name is Meghan, and I'm new to this group. My husband and I are in the information-gathering process; hoping to buy a bus and start conversion of it next year. I have a question regarding long-term parking and living out of a skoolie, particularly somewhere 30-60minutes from Chapel Hill...
