All day yesterday, an odor in the 5th wheel was slowly getting stronger. Wasn’t totally identifiable at first as a black tank smell. When we woke up this morning, it was un mistakable……black tank odor. There was a small drip coming out of the sealed belly. Dumped the black tank and gray tanks...

The standard dish went on sale a couple months ago so I picked one up with a plan to permanently install in my Journey 39z. I have never used the Track Vision satellite. Time to re-purpose the useless dome on my roof. The standard dish just fits in the done without modification, although with...

hello all. This is my first post here. I have purchased a used 2015 Rockwood Roo 23ikss. She is in good condition but one issue came up. The 30 amp plug on the trailer is loose. I thought all I needed to do was tighten the screws. However the screw holes are worn and will not bite (not even a...

We have a 2020 American Coach American Dream (nothing but good to say, by the way) and I'm looking for a permanent "solution" for putting pads under the rear HWH jacks. I have Snap Pads on the front jacks and love them. They did not make anything for the rear jacks because of the...

I bought this unit 2 1/2 years ago for temporary living while building a barn apartment. With the economy going in the tank and getting used to tiny tiny home living, I changed the layout of the barn and added a big shop. About a month ago we finally moved her in. We pulled all the tanks and...

I have a lot of surface rust on my rig with a few areas of pitting, and want to remediate all of it by way of chemicals. I know the difference between surface treatment and actual remediation, and a wire wheel won’t cut it. I know that rust remover and reformer are different products. I’ve...
