    Planning a Full-Time Fifth Wheel Setup 3 Years Ahead

    Wife and I have decided to full-time RV once our youngest graduates. That doesn't happen for 3 years, so we have plenty of time to plan. We've decided to do a fifth wheel rather than a motorhome because I think it'll be better to use our TV rather than towing an extra vehicle, and because most...

    Choosing a 12V vs Residential Fridge for a Solar-Powered Airstream

    Jo Ann's biggest gripe about the Airstream, after living it in full-time for 15 months, is that the refrigerator is too small. We got spoiled by the 16 cf residential refrigerator in the previous SOB. We'll never be able to have something like that in here, but it looks like going up to a 10 cf...

    Progressive EMS-30 Overvoltage Cutoff in Mexico at 134V

    The answer is probably "can't and shouldn't be" :), but had to ask. Wintering in Mexico, voltage standard is 123. In the night when villagers go to bed it rises to 134 and stays there until 7am-ish. EMS shuts down after 132V. Fridge switches to propane (costly and inconvenient), can't run...

    Are RV Makers Liable for Cheap Trailer Tires Like Castle Rock?

    I am so tired of reading and hearing about any type of "China Bomb" trailer tires and the horror stories, pictures and fears of having them on a trailer of ANY type. Granted, the manufacturers want to go cheap as possible on EVERYTHING they put on a trailer as is the norm but why is there no...
