We recently traded our beloved Coleman Rubicon 1200RK for a Coachman Catalina Summit 134RKX. While we really enjoyed our 1200RK (as an intro into towed camping), it's nice to be able to stand up, in the camper! (we jokingly called the Rubicon the "Hard-Sided Sleeping Bag" or "The Cramper") Taking it out, locally, for its inaugural trip, in next week. As always, looking forward to sharing of hints, tips, concerns, etc.

Have not been south of San Felipe in a few years. Heading for Muleje, loreto and La Paz. No plans south of LA Paz but may run down to the East Cape... Any beta on issues or road conditions recently??? Rumors of check points set up bear Guero negro and fuel shortages just south... i have a 60gal tank so about 700mile range meaning I start looking for fuel around the 500mile mark. Any recent input is appreciated.

Making a quick stop at Eddie World in Beatty NV for some candy. :D They have hundreds of different kinds to choose from and you could spend a lot of time trying to pick one.

Hi All - my first post! We are from the UK where we have a campervan. We are visiting our children who are studying at Quinnipiac, Hamden CT and Lowell MA. Looking for advice on where we can overnight for little or no cost (I think that's what you guys call Boondocking). Are there any safe bets? I hear Walmart mentioned as somewhere you can park up overnight. Also, in the UK, if you eat at a restaurant they will often let you use their parking overnight for free - is that a thing in the...

I picked up a bag of Purina Pro Plan weight management dog food when RVing in Raleigh, NC. I noticed bugs crawling in the food. Thinking maybe it got in from the RV or something I removed the 2-3 what appears like winged termites. Then going to get food for Elli again I see more. Nope. This bag is going back. I take it in and she asked “bugs?” Purina is having a storage problem and this is disgusting. They gave me a new bag as I don’t want to cold turkey switch Elli’s food but this may be...

It looks like Jeff is trickling out information to compete with Elon's Starlink. https://leo.amazon.com/technology/?tag=rvf01-20

Hello everyone. I’m planning to replace my current RV battery before my next camping trip and want to choose the right type. I’m comparing lead-acid, AGM, and lithium options, but I’m not sure which one offers the best balance of price, capacity, lifespan, and maintenance. I normally camp both with and without hookups, so dependable power is important. For those who have experience with an RV battery, what type has worked best for you? How much capacity would you recommend for basic...

I meant to keep a running log of this event here at Deer Springs, but here we are on Day 4 of a 7-day event, and I’m just now making my first post. I suppose that lends some credibility to the rumor that I’m a slacker... Members of this forum attending are: @GlampDaddy @lostinfla @Neemer (had to cancel for mechanical reasons, bummer) @John&Andrea @NWIP @Jim (by default, :)) Night 2 was pizza night. Trish picked up 12 pizzas from Jaxson’s, and by the end of the evening, there wasn’t...

After reading Neal’s post I thought they were only if you were using a generator. If they will prolong the life I’m all for that. I’m not super good at these things so how hard are they to install? I have a Dometic.

GOOD morning fellow rv owners. We have had two travel trailers in the past 20 years. This is our FIRST travel trailer with a 12 volt refrigerator/freezer system and a solar panel. I worked as an automotive technician for 32 years so I maintain all of my equipment like you wouldn't believe. We picked up our camper from the rv dealership (Refrigerator cooling issue) on Friday and I just left it parked in the driveway hooked up. I left the 7 pin rv plug attached and DID NOT hook up any shore...

The saturation of RV parks in our area has gotten a little ridiculous. It seems like everyone with a side yard has decided to turn it into an RV park. And most of them offer the same things: full hookups, a picnic table, a firepit, and not much else to set them apart from the park just down the road. And mine? Mine is way down the road, so you have to sort through all the others before you finally find Deer Springs. It wasn’t like this five years ago. But the word is out: build an RV park...

A few years ago I removed the equipment from inside the coach and that was nice to get out. I still have the Dish antenna on the roof and I'm concerned it may prevent me from getting into campgrounds, you know, that vintage indicator. Dare I show my 8-track player in the dash :) For those that have removed their SAT dish, any gotchas? What did you do with the several coax cables coming up through the roof?

Elli's first time in the ocean. My prior dog it used to be an annual ritual, right after labor day to make a beach trip when VA Beach opens to dogs.

https://www.rvtravel.com/reduced-rate-free-camping-veterans-1277/ Always call and ask about veteran/military discounts. I'm headed to Cape Hatteras next, they offer 10% off, but it's not advertised. Carowinds in Charlotte also offers it. Many do, and we appreciate it!

I use Blackvue dashcam's and learned they don't last forever. I'm on a new set (2-channel) in my TOAD and after leaving Charlotte a few weeks back there was an interesting event on the highway, a landscaping boulder going down the middle lane. I checked my Blackvue dashcam to try to capture the footage to share here and yep, the dashcam died in May. RIP So this is a PSA that if you have a dashcam and it's always on, set and forget, you may want to connect into it from time to time to verify...

This came across my kick starter email today. Know there are a few on here that use these. Looked pretty cool so thought I’d share.
