trips

Hi everyone . We just got back to PA . No events travelling. Now my slideout goes out fine, but kicks the circuit braker when I push the in button. it is full out now. I thought it was the motor, but I removed it and tried it in my garage on a battery pack and it works fine in both directions...

So we are planning a trip to Oregon this summer for about 38 days. We are coming from Minnesota so the round trip milage will be about 4200. The question is; How many miles do you limit per day, or do you use time on the road? This is not our first big adventure but previously I have ran up to...

Each year as our months long snowbird journey is ending and I start to unpack back home, I have to laugh at myself unloading my rather large toolbox, filled with tools & items I have yet to use in all the time we've been RVing. One would think that I would learn from this experience and cull out...

We got a new coach last summer. When we had it plugged into the pedestal at the campground we noticed that the pedestal breaker would trip (50 amp). Only one time it had an E4 code on the Huges surge protector for over current. After this had happened many times I quit using the surge...

I retired 5 years ago and over the last 5 years had opportunity to camp host at 2 different locations. One in North Carolina and the other in Louisiana. It seems each "stay" has gotten longer and longer. We are leaving this Saturday from Louisiana after being at the site for 5 months...

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy a van to convert for family travel (2 adults + 2 kids) — mostly road trips across the U.S., not full-time van life. I’m trying to keep things simple and budget-friendly, possibly starting with a modular setup (beds + seating + basic power). I’d really appreciate...

Hey, this is my first post and our first RV. We have a 2015 Fleetwood Discovery 40G and any time we plug into a GFCI outlet to power the motor home it immediately trips the circuit. I have tried isolating it down and it trips when I power up the inverter. From what I have found in my research...

Hi- We just purchase a 2024 DX3 with explorer package. We took it out for the 1st trip and are having issues with the inverter resetting while running off battery. We have a 1100W coffee maker that works fine while on shore power or generator but if we are running off inverter it trips the...

WE just picked up our 21C on Thursday and camped one night on the road home. Everything worked fine when hooked up to shore power. Now we are trying to plug it in to our 30 amp outlet on the outside of the house and it keeps throwing the house breaker and the Escape shuts off-when we put it in...

Hey all, first post. I’m having an issue with my inverter in my semi. I know a semi isn’t an RV but it’s basically a similar setup for the electrical system. Anyway, the way it works is my inverter gets power from the starting batteries. 4 of them. The starting batteries are monitored for...

I have an Atwood 8525 III furnace in a 1997 Fleetwood Mallard. I have looked at a lot of posts and don't see my problem mentioned. Thermostat turns furnace on. Runs the fan, lights off the burner just fine then shuts off burner when temp reached as it should. But as it is running to cool off...

The breaker trips when closing the door to the oven. Thought it was a fluke when packing up for the summer but now that I am winterizing I have discovered that every time I close the door the breaker trips. Where do I even start to troubleshoot this? If I close the door then reset the breaker...

We just got a new fifth wheel. I ran it across the CAT scale on the way home and measured an empty, dry GCW of 15300 (7120 trailer, 8180 truck) I just weighted it packed for the weekend, (empty tanks) and got a GCW of 15,600. Which means we put a total of 300 lbs of stuff into our rig for a...

Hi, been living in Fifth wheel for five years and have only started to have this problem after my awning got blown off on a high wind! Bathroom GFCI only trips after a rain but comes back on after supposedly drying out! No wire breaks, no water leak at any outside outlet! Disconnect awning...

We are newbies with a 2026 Redhawk 24B. We have taken it out a few times locally to work out the "bugs", of which there were a few (expected). I am planning our first southern tour and will be leaving from Upstate NY in Feb. and making our way down the coast to the tip of Florida and back. We...

When I am at home - I plug my 2022 Dutch Star into my outside receptacle. It is a 15 amp plug. Generally I do not have any issues but every now and again - it just starts to pop the breaker. I will plug it in - it will be fine for a couple of mins and then pop the breaker. I have a Hughes...

I just watched a tutorial on RVTW's YouTube channel on how to export to Google Maps.....Simple enough and I have done that. Now for the dumb questions: 1. Exported trips to Google are RV Safe correct??? I assume so or what's the point 2. If Q #1 is yes, why do it in the 1st place...

Class B, 2020 Mercedes-Benz, Coachmen Owners. I show this only as a suggestion and I'm retired and not selling you anything. This is just a packing suggestion/idea for a road trip. The wife and I do a lot of Sporting events with our college sports teams. As we have gotten older it's not so easy...

With fuel line repaired, Corbi and I drove to Manchester, VT for a 3 day music festival with camping. As a volunteer, entrance and camping fees were waived. Not a bad deal. No dogs alowed though, so I missed my usual travel companion. I enjoyed the camping area, and had a close up look at a...

Trip Planning in your RV? Reflecting back on trips taken were based on areas of interest to explore. I'm always up for a road trip, but having been off long road trips for a while. Out for dinner with friends and fellow RV'ers of the past, the subject came up, about Trip Planning. After...

Continuing tradition from Jhowemca's thread last year (same title, but 2015). We brought our new camper home almost a year ago (11-13-2015), so this year was our first full season with it. I have kept track of our trips over the summer and the results are in. We enjoyed 12 camping trips...

I find myself sitting in front of the fireplace, feet up and considering the status of my favorite adult beverage. We recently experience a warm up. The outside temperature went all the way to 29 degrees and is supposed to hit 35 by this weekend. First thought, go get Winnie out for the weekend...
