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.

We like to state in state parks. Some initial searching didn't yield very good results for parks with hook ups. Wondering if anyone can recommend something?

My 2017 Newmar Ventana has the built in VAC, whatever it's called (central vac?), but I never really used it as I don't like carrying the bulky hose and parts, however, it may be something worth revisiting. I've since been using Dyson, probably PET versions, since I have a dog that rotates her coat daily, uninvited. I haven't been thrilled with the Dyson and it's obviously over priced due to the Dyson marketing hype, I presume. Shark has been mentioned and come to my attention and their...

Yeah buddy.... https://www.rvtravel.com/diesel-hits-565-supplies-plunge-rvers-face-fall/

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to our little Dolly. She’s eight weeks old, and she’s Benjamin’s niece. (I predict Dolly is going to be a very popular pet name for the next several weeks if not months)

A good resource for all of us. https://www.rvtravel.com/video-how-to-use-multimeter-rvers-2196/
