I really want to be able to stream my Tv at night and maybe browse my social media etc in the morning and Starlink and T-Mobile away are so expensive! We aren’t full time but we do like to be gone a few weeks at a time . Any suggestions?
What are people’s experiences with a small trailer like this. This one does not have A/C. Will I cook in the summer?
I know it’s small, we will only be sleeping in it or hiding from the rain.
Hello,
I am looking to purchase my first fifth wheel and for piece of mind wanted others to review my exact truck to the fifth wheel I want to buy. Can I tow this without issue?
I have a 2026 Chevy Silverado 2500 Crew Cab Short Bed gasser.
The 311BHS looks like it’s about 37 feet, listed hitch weight of about 2200, gvwr of 14k. From what I can see it looks good on paper. Loaded I should be good with payload. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
Not actually towing with my jeep but it comes in handy moving trailers around the yard.
Has anyone had any experience with downsizing their rv size and reusing the wdh? Dealer is telling me the ride will be unbearable with the Anderson wdh on a single axle trailer
Has anyone here successfully negotiated a higher consignment quote from an RV dealer after getting the initial number over the phone? This number I'm talking about is the one that goes on the consignment agreement and gets signed before the dealer even sees the vehicle in person and inspects it.
I’m curious whether dealers ever meaningfully increase those intial starting offers, or whether the first number is usually as good as it gets.
If you were successful, how did you do it?
I’m trying to figure out whether negotiation is worth the effort or whether dealer buyout offers are mostly take-it-or-leave-it.
Thanks.
Went from 1990 class B gasser to a 2000 class A diesel pusher
Hey all, looking for a little advice!
We currently have our rig in storage and it’s plugged into a standard household outlet just to keep the batteries maintained. I’ve been thinking about running a dehumidifier in there to help with moisture, but I’m not sure if that’s pushing it for a regular outlet.
Has anyone done this while on a standard 15/20 amp plug? Is a dehumidifier going to draw too much power in that setup?
If it is doable, what specs should I be looking for in a dehumidifier (wattage, size, etc.) to make sure I’m not overloading anything?
Appreciate any insight or experience!
For those of you who switched from lead acid to lithium batteries, did you have problems with LED burning out early, water pumps failing, etc?
Lithium batteries have a higher voltage than lead acid. For example LiFePO4 is pretty close to 15v when charged, and doesn't drop to 12v until it's pretty run down.
I am putting a 12 and 24v system into my rig, and am concerned about destroying electronics designed for slightly lower voltages?
Friday I drove 160 miles with only one spring bar attached to my Blue Ox Sway Pro WDH. I had no idea, it pulled great. I got to the camp ground, went to unhitch and looked at the missing bar and thought, well that’s not good. I thought surely it couldn’t have been off the entire trip, but surely it would have made a racket flying. When I came home I thought it was better to travel with no bars than just one. Of course I picked absolutely the most windiest day to travel home, my trucks anti sway feature kicked in for the first time. I've pulled with out the bars before and it did ok other than some minor porpoising. I've never pulled in windy condition like this without them and holy heck its very obvious that they make a difference with sway.
The exit from my shop where I store the camper has a very steep departure angle and it turns out the clasp that locks the passenger side bar in the receiver wasn't seating correctly and the bar slipped out when I was leaving. I found it in the yard.
These are the steps going into my work vehicle which is essentially a Class C. I’ve been wanting to get them replaced but wow…finding someone dependable to work on an RV is nigh impossible. I think I might be able to do it if I know where to get the part…or is that oversimplified.
My husband (73) and I (67 today lol) have been looking at used Class C RVs for about 8 or 9 months. Know not to go to dealers like Blue Compass or Camping World after dealing with the ones in our state (SC).
Criteria:
-Less than $60k because we are paying cash. $50k or under would be better
-11 year old grandson desperately wants his own space in an over cab bed. He and his little sister will be traveling with us about 2 or 3 weeks out of a year.
-needs to be able to tow a 4Dr Jeep so I'm looking for a 7500# tow rating just to be on the safe side
-bed that can be used without extending slides
-something we can live in for about 3 months out of the year and is about 32' or less
-negligable, or preferably, no water damage
All the rest is gravy but those listed are non negotiable
We have found a 2016 Jayco Greyhawk MV29 with 50k miles on it that I really like. Drives beautifully. Nicer than my 2004 F150. Has a 2024 Colman Mach AC/heat pump with soft start, reupholstered all seating(2023), Roadmaster and Helwig upgrades to suspension and steering. We have an NRVTA inspector coming out Tuesday to look at it. It seems very well maintained and clean but I have concerns about the age. They are wanting $50k after some serious negotiations-came down $7k. Is that too much for a clean, nicely maintained RV that is 10 years old? Is 2016 pre Thor?
Appreciate everyone's input
We have a travel trailer with a roof A/C unit and a propane furnace. We’ve had the trailer for 4 years now. When using the heat you can hear the furnace kick on and it comes up from the floor vents. We camped this last weekend and it was in the 30’s at night, whenever the heat kicked in, the fan on the ceiling kicked on. It wasn’t blowing A/C, just the fan. It’s never done this before…. Ideas?
Hi there,
We will be hitting the road soon and traveling full time with our 5th wheel and work from it.
We won’t be working while driving.
We are planning to be mostly hooked up to shore power and will also have a backup generator.
I read a lot that the mini is good, but I am worried about being both connected and needing to be on Teams meetings regularly, that the mini won’t be enough ?
It sounds the Standard is the more stable and reliable option when it comes to the connectivity itself.
Any experience or advice?
Our camper didn't come with a shower surround so I made one. I caulked the corners but I feel like caulk won't hold near the ceiling with the camper flexing during travel so was planing on just leaving it. Then I saw this product and thought it would hold a lot better plus seal off the gap near the top for better protection and aesthetics. Whats your thoughts?
I have extensively researched a Transit that has a similar layout to the Revel. More importantly a freshwater tank that is inside the van. I can not find one unless you get a custom build (which I am not opposed to but more expensive).
I would like AWD, freshwater inside, small shower/toilet inside. I love the Revel. And you can get a used one and upgrade electrical, suspension, accessories, very easily with so many outfitters now. But am very concerned about diesel, DEF, maintenance, service expense...all because of the Mercedes Sprinter chassis.
You thoughts are appreciated.
I just got a 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX, and I want to replace the door latch as well as the storage lock because I read online that there is a master key that can unlock essentially any travel trailer. I'm a bit confused by some of the product listings though; how do I know which brands to trust and which ones to avoid?
For example, I was looking at a latch.it lock and it says 'unique key to the latchit brand' which tells me that you can get a key to unlock any latch.it lock!
I was also looking at the global brand which seems more trustworthy from the description?
I haven't looked at storage locks at all. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
