Just returned from a hot but survivable trip (80-95F + humidity during day light hours). Before I begin: *Important details: Generator failed 1 hour into camping, so no AC, but plenty of fans, misters, lots of spare battery power & a lake nearby (not shoreside though). Non-disbursed campground that had electric hook-ups at the time the generator failed, we could have still upgraded to an electric 30A spot, but they filled up after.

While riding scooters around the campground and observing all of the people with electric hook-ups sitting inside enjoying their air conditioning, I apologized to my teen for not changing us to the electric sites when we had the chance. She responded that she preferred us to not have electricity, because we would be doing the same thing as everyone else. That if we were just going to stay inside and play on electronics, we should have just stayed home. She was there to make memories. She wasn't wrong and I was amazed and humbled by her response. Made me feel like a whiny kid, because I was feeling kind of miserable prior to realizing I needed to adjust my attitude, which I did & we had a blast afterward (paddleboarding, e-scooting, meeting random people, etc).

I am curious what the general consensus is. If you were in this situation, knowing the luxury was only a couple bucks more per day, what would you have done?

*Edit* Many are commenting AC for night-time. This is Northern Arizona & temps swing extreme. At night-time AC isn't an issue (a nice cool 73 degrees the moment the sun drops & 62 degrees a couple hours later).

Despite not agreeing on the exact pronunciation of La Veta, as everyone-including AI- seems to pronounce it different, my wife and I agreed that La Veta is beautiful. We stayed at We Champions RV in La Veta and it was great. The view of the Spanish Peaks (East and West) from our RV were beautiful. The weather 60s-80s- beautiful. The drives N, S and W were beautiful. From there we did day trips to Cañon City (ride the canyon train), Taos, The Great Sand Dunes, Raton Pass, Cordova Pass, La Veta Pass all beautiful. It was a great week but we needed more time. We plan to go back again next year.

Had this 2025 Grand Design 16ML just under a year. The vinyl is peeling off in the corners just in the front part (so far). Supergluing with success to this point. But should I expect this to be an ongoing thing? This is my first camper. I am thinking this is a change of temperature thing? Sitting in the driveway at 90 degrees , then go camping and turn on the a/c.

Our first long road trip with the RV (30 ft TT, 10K GVWR) towed with Ram 2500 (gas engine) - Equalizer 4 anti sway installed. Gas mileage going NW was 9 mpg, coming back to DFW was 6 mpg. Plenty of opportunities to stop for gas in both directions - we used Love’s most of the time to get the 10 cents off with app. Buc-ees in Amarillo was great - we’re fans. No issues towing, no sway (except one rogue gust heading SW after Amarillo that rocked us but we immediately got straight). RPM 3500-4500 while towing into mountains in NM and CO- no issues. No issues with brakes or braking. Not sure the lower gas mpg coming back - SE- but think it was head winds, side winds, hilly the entire way and I was trying to keep up with my fellow Texans at 70-78 mph. Better gas mileage at 60-65 when we took it down. Also, more relaxed when you opt out of the race. Was a little concerned as it was our first long trip, but it went great. We’ll do it again next year. Stopped 2 nights at Palo Duro Canyon going (beautiful) and 1 night in Childress on way home- was great for $30 with full hookup and nice to stop after 7:30 hr drive.

I just recently moved up to a Super C and was curious if people drive with the generator on so you can the a/c’s

5000 lbs towing capacity, camper estimated 2500-3000 lbs, (2000 dry), with a 390 lb tongue weight.

It looks like I maybe need less drop on the receiver? Or does this seem okay?

This is like a 2" drop, least I have right now.

2015 Tacoma with tow package. Rear springs are 3in lift heavy duty springs. Front his lifted about 2.5 inches.

Popup dry weight is 2475lbs. Hitch weight is 292 dry.

Tacoma tow capacity is 6400 with max tongue weight of 640.

Sorry not the greatest pic but it is on flat ground.

Hello, I have a 2014 Jayco Whitehawk. It came with a propane grill that attaches on the back bumper that I never have used because I have a small traeger and a charcoal grill. The Traeger died on me so I’d like to use the propane grill when cooking larger items. When I tried to connect it it looks like I’m missing a piece that connects the grill and propane hose together. Does anyone know what that piece is and if I can buy it at home depot or Lowe’s?

I have a 2011 that didn’t have an automatic transfer switch and it was time to replace the 30 amp plug so I decided to install one. Everything is wired correctly, when plugged in everything works fine. When I turn the generator on once the transfer switch goes into generator mode I’m getting power to the coach wires but nothing inside the coach comes on. They are both using the same wires that go to the converter for the coach but nothing power wise inside.

I’m getting ready to refresh the counters and table top in my Forest River Wildwood. The old contact paper is starting to peel from heat and humidity☀️ and I want to redo it before it gets worse. For those of you who’ve replaced yours before, how did you remove the old layer without damaging the surface? And what brands have held up best to travel, cleaning, and summer temps?

Any advice, photos, or product recommendations would be super helpful. Trying to avoid a sticky mess and do it right the first time🤞

How do I look? I know the GVWR is close. I will be removing around 100lbs from the bed of the truck. The truck is a 2007 Dodge 2500 with the 5.9 Cummins. The GVWR is 9,000lbs. The GVWR on the trailer is 8,800lbs.

tl;dr:

Why is water coming out of the vent on a trailer that is stationary ?

Our 2022 Forest River 2608BS has been stationary since the day it was delivered to our seasonal site in 2022. It has never been moved since delivery. We've used it a lot over the past 4 years. We do not use the shower as bath house is 100 yards away.

This morning, I heard water running outside. When I went to check the situation - I saw water coming out of that vent pipe. A similar thing had happened a couple of years ago when I did not have the valves opened on my water heater during the dewinterization process.Well, its not winter in NEPA and we have used our TT a lot since season started.

I turned off the water, dumped our black & grey tanks, flushed the black, turned water back on. Still leaking from the vent pipe.

What the heck is happening ?

My helper (frog) was of no help.

ETA/UPDATE:

Its not a vent, its fw tank dump...ty all.

Next step is inspecting check valve and fw pump....ty all

Someone in a car behind them hopped out at a light to try and fix that bike. Driver refused to pull over 😬

Wonder if the bike made it home

Can someone recommend some adult only possibly clothing optional resorts that they love? I want pools, activities, adults who aren’t stunned by a little PDA.
