We like space and privacy in our lives in general and primarily use our RV to avoid hotels and restaurants while on vacation. Our trips (ironically) usually involve motorcycle rallies and concerts in the Southeast, but we want solitude when we’re at the RV. Since we don’t boondock, we are always in a campground when traveling. Most government run parks have widely spaced sites and are usually pretty quiet, which is great, but we constantly search for the most private campgrounds we can find...

Well we left AL and headed to Fl. Traffic around Atlanta was brutal. You name it an accident then construction RT 75 south was a nightmare. I picked out a spot approximately half way. This run was 385 miles. Lane Southern Orchards is an absolutely beautiful stop. Huge parking lot but no hookups. Beautiful store and restaurant or cafe for breakfast and lunch. Plus it was only 5 miles off the highway. They are located at Fort Valley GA. Got 350 miles to go, should hit Aburndale FL camp...

Hi Guys: well we drove 1000 miles to get to red Bay. I had a few scratches in my paint and some items that have to be taken care of before our warranty ran out. Total we spent 12 days in red Bay at the Bob Tiffin Service Center. And as always, the service was outstanding to say the least. Our Service tech Brian Wilkinson for our coach went above and beyond the call of duty. To make a long story short, we got everything fixed some scratches repaired, self inflicted. now we’re off to a Tiffin...

Using “city water” my kitchen faucet flows noticeably stronger using hot water rather than cold. The bathroom sink and shower flow steadily regardless of temp. The difference is very noticeable.

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

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.
