newbie

Hi Everyone—This is my first season RVing and I have a general question about the length of my rig. I have a 2022 FR Sunseeker 2500TS which has a slide out of the back.

Hi, I am a newbie and trying to understand the inverter. Do I need to manually turn the inverter off when I am storing the camper and manually turn it on when in use? I have a 2020 Flagstaff SE pop up, outdoor enthusiast. Thank you.

The fresh water indicator light is yellow, showing 1/3 left in tank, it hasn’t changed in a while? Problem?

As previously noted, Newbie on a maiden voyage. I seem to develop a pile of TP after 2-3 days. Just my wife and myself. We probably are not using enough water, but I try to continually add! How much water are you guys starting with after a flush? Was using ten gallons, but suspect i need...

Hi all, I'm reaching out from Franklin, TN. I am new to the whole solar thing but I've been learning for about 6 months now, just taking in as much as I can. I had some electrical background so it all came easy so far. It does get a bit confusing when you start applying it to Skoolies and...

Hi. I bought my 2019 Micro Minnie 1808FBS new a few years ago, but this is the first year I've had to winterize it and do various maintenance things myself. I've been looking online and on YouTube but not finding things specific to this model. For winterizing, I have questions and I'm grateful...

Newbie here. 2017 Keystone Laredo 325RL. I'm sure this topic has come up ad nauseum, so I apologize for the redundancy in advance. I'm not finding very specific info on winterizing in the downloadable manuals. I will visit the camper frequently during hunting season. My question is about...

Hi - I will apologize in advance for any dumb questions I may ask. I will search for answers before posting, but I might not realize whether or how some answers might apply to my situation: I have a Ford F350 SRW 7.3L gas engine with a 4233 lb payload capacity. The Ford Towing Calculator shows...
