I would like to install a diesel heater in my Fiat Ducato camper van (2013). What are the pros and cons of installing the heater under the van versus inside the van? I am considering installing the heater under the van, as the preferred spot of placing the heater inside is not possible (just above the exhaust filter). Do I need to protect the heater from stones that might hit it when installed under the van?

One of our favorite state campgrounds in about half a tank away from our home, HOWEVER, we still have to take a ferry to get off the island unless we wanted to drive north up the island, over the Deception Pass Bridge, them back down south, through Seattle and Olympia to get to the coast. Its appox. 100 bucks round trip on ferry towing our trailer, or 6 hours going around plus fuel, WHICH is insane in Washington right now. If you are ever wanting to see the Washington Coast, I can highly...

It's time to upgrade to Lithium. I have a friend that suggested I use two 200 Amp Hour REDODO Batteries. I have very little knowledge about manufacturer quality. Any comments re this battery...

I have to mention the National Park Service and Mammoth Campground. The camp has about 6 restrooms spread out through the camp of about 100 sites, but only 1 restroom was open!!! It was an 8 minute, not flat, walk to the rest room and you guessed it was uphill both ways! The road went down a draw(valley) and then up the other side so it truly was uphill both ways. For those campers that aren't equipped to contain waste water this should have meant carrying the dish washing water to the...

Nice park just off I40 in Amarillo. Sites are big plenty of room and roads easy to navigate. Starlink amazing in the big sky.

Nice stop on the banks of the Arkansas River. Stayed two nights, plenty to do and see for a day out. Check out the Big Dam Bridge, yes that’s the name. Happy Travels.

Need help understanding what is drawing power from the house batteries. Fully charged after a long winter, first day 11.5v 24 hours later then batteries are dead. These batteries were replaced last year, no appliance running. What could be draining these batteries.

Just purchased our first RV. The Chinook Concourse, looking forward to seeing the United States now that my wife and I are both retired. Hope to see you all out there.

At REV in Decatur. A few small repairs and training yesterday, a little paint today (oops) and we'll probably be here through the weekend. Jay and Mark were so accommodating. Jodi, at the front, set it all up. Neat place. FYI 50 at all parking spots. Potable water and dump easy access at the rear. Laundry inside with 24 hr access.

My Sunlite MJ13 has a Propane Water Heater and Furnace. I have two burners on countertop but never use it. I know this wierd, but I don't use the shower because I find it too small. So the only reason I turn on the switch to heat water is to wash dishes. I am staying in it for work 4 nights per week. We had a cold night (Monday), and I went to warm the inside, yesterday morning with the furnace and Gas Bottle was empty. I went and swapped it out the put the refill bottle in place and...

We will, probably, be looking to park somewhere more permanent starting next summer or fall. Will be looking at Parks in northern Texas. Think Sherman Dennison area. I know this will open a lot of discussion but I’m wondering about. Covered spot vs. installing solar. Cost wise which one would be more cost efficient if I pay electricity?

Always wondered if Love's could help if I had a tire issue, etc. Glad to see them expanding more into the RV game. https://www.rvtravel.com/loves-rolls-rv-tire-battery-service-27-states/

Hello all, New to the site, looks great! I have a 2024 Brinkley G3500, the solar has quit charging the batteries. I called Brinkley to inquire about the fuse(s), he said there is a 15amp fuse in the pass through in the front of the unit. Does anyone have any idea where it might be located? I can’t seem to find it. Any help is appreciated!

Here you go @Chuggs - just what you've been asking for :) For others using Epoch LiFePO4 batteries, check for any software updates. Will Prowse mentioned in one of his recent videos of a nasty bug, not sure the details.

Do it! Several of us here are solo travelers, I could not recommend it more. My biggest fear when I impulse ordered my RV being single with dog is whether it would be a lonely experience. My neighbors had a Class C and they told me no and they were right. It is what you make it but communities like this help you make friends, people are social at campgrounds. Rallies, events, activities, or just enjoy solitude, whatever you prefer, it's an amazing experience. Sometimes the vulnerable becomes...
