advice

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this forum and exploring various skoolie options, but I'm unsure which buses would best meet our needs. We want to convert a bus that can tow a 24-foot trailer with two side-by-sides. Many of the places we visit are in mountainous areas, so we want to ensure that...

Hey y’all it’s my first time posting here, but I could use some advice. I have a 2012 Thomas Minotaur shortie, I’m still doing demo stuff so I haven’t gotten really to the part of my work of understanding what solar I’d need. But a friend of mine is trying to get rid of the attached panel setup...

Just check my logic I am attempting to stop an intermittently running toilet. It is an American standard champion. As far as I can tell I’ve been looking at YouTube and order a seal kit to replace the seal. Any advice or discussion would be appreciated. I have heard that these American...

The picture says it all. The slide-out had been extended for a while when I was sidelined for a few months. The slide-out has a retractable cover, but raccoon(s) managed to get on top of the rig, onto the slide-out, and under the cover. We found footprints and claw marks. This damage was seen...

My Motorhome suffers from the white streaking down the sides with normal rain runoff. The roof coating is in excellent condition with no leakage. I have cleaned the roof with the 303 roof cleaner - is there a product I can apply to stop this after a cleaning? You help is appreciated!

Hi all! We're currently parked just north of Seattle in Marysville. We need to get to NS Great Lakes for our son's boot camp graduation mid-December. I'm looking for the best route to avoid icy roads. Snow isn't as big of a concern for me as ice - frozen water not the ICE on the news every day...

I am looking at possibly buying a 2003 Safari Panther 4013 with about 25k miles on it. The coach spent most of its life stored indoors and then the last 6 years it has not been stored indoors. The current owner used it 5 out of the last 6 years as a winter home living in it 4 months out of the...

It looks like the previous owner used a silicon based caulking on the drivers side rear corner on the roof (see Photo) It is a mess and needs to be re-done in some form. The passenger side (sorry no picture) looks nice and neat from the factory.I know getting the silicon based caulking cleaned...

I have been a Motorhome owner since 1974. I always did my own service on my campers. I was a rv service manager for 15 years. I am 85 years old. I retired in 2009. Now I need some advice. My current motor home is a 1999 pace arrow on a ford f53 chassis. The fuel pump has set in gasoline for...

Hello. I just joined a few days ago and was hoping for some advice on our currently preferred option...a new LTV Wonder. I've heard they are well made and is right about the size that we are looking for. Sounds like you order them direct and receive 5-6 months later. Curious if that means you...

I’m looking at used C class motorhomes. 26-28’ range seems to have the floor plan I like and still be fairly small. I like the walk around bed. I also like to have a couch or a couple chairs in addition to the dining table. I have other preferences like linoleum instead of carpet. Any other...

My daughter and her fiancée are shopping for their first RV. She’s been RVing with us since she was a baby and loves the idea of continuing on. Their budget is up to 60k and need something between 27-30’. Class A or C will work. Brands/years to look at or stay away from? Overall, I’ve...

I am searching for some advice about switching from Lead Acid batteries to AGM. I presently have four wet cell 6 volt golf cart batteries GC-110, 75 amp rating dated 1-2021. They are not holding a charge and I assume they were allowed to freeze due to bulging. They were like this when I...

All, 2024 IRV 250RDS Titanium. I had the dealer winterize last year because they owed me. However, I thought I would do it this year as I pretty mechanically inclined.....and it is also spelled out in the manual. I did find the capped off tube for the antifreeze/ pump etc. Are there any...

I’m going to buy a thermostatic mixing valve for my shower. Does anyone have advice on models you have been pleased with? Any that I should avoid? I was wanting a digital model but haven’t found one that will install easily in an RV. I’m currently shopping for a mechanical but I would be...

We own a 2021 Winnebago View 24D (bought new) The last camping trip (on shore power) we had a problem where our coach batteries would drain to zero (2 one yr old LiFePo 100Ah batteries). After getting it home and trying to diagnose I ended up calling a local RV repair guy. While he was cycling...

Hey quick question and need of advice. My water pump is not working correctly, it was working fine in the beginning of our trip but now it's not. It's just keeps running and there seems to be a lot of air in the system. The pump is only a couple years old. I took it apart and there isn't any...

We have the standard factory installed lithium system on our 23 LA. (640 aHrs) solar panels. Dual xantrex inverters. We have been boondocking our way back from Alaska. The house batteries are draining from 100% to 30% in about 10 hrs. With the exception of one night when only 3% of the battery...

Hi. I hope this is posted in the correct place - I love the floorplan of the 3011DS and was hoping anyone who owns or has experience with one can give me their view on this model please. Its a little longer than I would like at 32' 3" but everything else about it seems appealing. The East to...

Hubby and I are buying a mostly raw half-acre, where we plan to install an RV pad and hookups and keep our trailer there to use for occasional visits to the area. We’ll have city water, sewer, and electric. Getting that done will be a project in itself. Tons and tons of gravel in my future. And...

Hi, first time poster - long time lurker and teardrop fanatic. After many years of being a fan of teardrops trailers and thousands of photos/videos/youtube’s etc I am finally biting the bullet to build my own. Well, won’t call it mine but rather my best attempt to copy Bert. Shamelessly...

Hi Friends: Asking for some confirmation on this route as it is new to us. I feel pretty confident based on internet searches, but would appreciate some additional input. We're coming over to 101 in Crescent City via HWY 199 Grants Pass. We've driven the pass before, but made a right turn to go...
