Opinions requested from those that have been there. Planning a trip to Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island. From there, going north thru Sault Ste. Marie into Canada. then East to Sudbury. (Anything interesting between them?) Question is, do I go South from there or East to North Bay and then South. Which might be better, more interesting, better sights, & decent campgrounds, etc.? Planning to head East from Hamilton (1 hour) to see the Canadian side of Niagara Falls; I hear they are far...
For the geeks here, I don't know this is specific to Peplink's speed fusion or if it's a VPN thing but I've had a few cases lately where I'm getting 403 forbidden errors when visiting a website such as booking a campground. Reddit blocked my visit as well until I turned off my outbound policy to route through speedfusion. I did a quick google search and found the info about this and how to setup outbound policies if needed for domains to change routing. Interesting situation, seems to be...
I have a seasonal site at a campground. I have a park model unit and it has a basement a/c unit powered by 110 volts. The heat source is a normal rv unit that uses propane and operates on 12 volts 1.5 amps. Here is a pic of the wiring for the current thermostat and has no C wire and thermostat has 2 AA batteries to work off of. I’m would really like to put in a smart thermostat tied into the internet here so I can cool this place down before we get here in the summer temperatures...
I updated my devices (and fusion hubs) when checking upon arrival yesterday as I started my trip. Fusion is working amazing, speeds are outstanding. No need for Starlink. I'm in the Raleigh, NC area for now. https://www.peplink.com/technology/firmware-8-6-0/
After my FL service in Gaffney, SC I'm thinking of running up the coast for this end of summer trip I'm about to start on. I'm considering a stop recommended by my BIL to Frisco, NC (Cape Hatteras area). Interesting location. Anyone that's ventured out that way please share your opinions, recommendations, etc...
I've replaced the two lead acid house batteries with two 100 amp hour LiFePo4s. I've changed the main power converter so that when on shore power, the LiFePo4s are charged to 14.6 volts. The solar charge regulator also charges them to 14.6 volts (given enough time and unobstructed sunlight...). But when I'm driving, the Ford chassis charging system won't bring them any higher than 13.6 to 13.8 volts. I understand it is possible to install a device that will 'step up' the voltage from...
Thread 'Camper Larry's Sun Lite 19RB Build & Adventures'
So I'll begin our journey by saying my wife likes to put the cart before the horse because she knows I'll never agree to buying the cart in the first place. After she buys the cart I have to figure out the horse, and also the cart, and she just shows up to ride in both....LOL. Case in point. The wife wanted a camper so she went out and bought a new 2025 Sunlite 19RB camper back in February. When we show up at the dealer to pick it up, the first thing the salesman says is "What do you plan...

Thread 'Canadian West Coast'
I have to name this "Where were you with your Jayco today". Sorry to jump in but.... We are traveling to the Canadian West Coast. The forests are on fire and the smoke is so thick it stings our eyes. If you have ever driven the Coquihalla you will know there are some long, steep grades. A fellow coach owner almost made it to the top of one but sadly, didn't make it. The coach caught fire and started another forest fir. We were about 15 minutes behind. Photo one is what was left...
I am toying with the idea of heading to Naples this winter, Jan thru March and enjoying pickleball, etc. I've been to Pelican Lakes circa 2018 and Naples Motorcoach Resort, both of which were very nice. I priced out Pelican Lake and it's 1-2K more per month than Silver Lakes. I welcome any opinions on where to stay, pro's/con's etc.
I have a LiTime 2000 watt inverter and two LiTime 100aH Batteries that can run my Furrion Chill Cube for up to 3 hrs. I also have many other upgrade videos on the channel.
I hate hearing my water pump, especially when it's loud and obnoxious. It was suggested early on to replace the pump that came in the coach, that was probably a mistake but I did and have been on a mission since to find the perfect water pump. I've tried rubber pads, noise dampening, etc. Pumps either later came out with vibration dampening grommets or I just didn't come across the right pump until my latest over a year ago which is the REMCO 55-AQUAJET-ARV 5 GPM water pump to replace my 3.4...
We have a 2019 Forest River Vibe Extreme Lite. The toilet always stinks when we flush. Could we install a regular toilet with a p-trap rather than continuing to use our RV toilet?
Thread 'Fish & Chips......'
Was out on the road for a couple of weeks, meeting up with the kids, grand kids, who pulled their trailer up to Northern California, as we pulled ours down from Whidbey Island, WA. Only had a few days to get ready as we we had flown off to South Carolina to look at properties. Really loved upstate in the greater Greenville area. Flew into Charleston, then drove across the state and flew back from Nashville. Things sure are cheaper back there! Had a great time with the kids, sorta...

Automatic Step or Steps, I could not get my steps to retract. No it was NOT the door switch. It was a rusty poor ground. The door light will tell you. I changed the brain. No go. Follow your instinct. Bad ground is usually the electrical anomaly on older rigs. When I unplugged the main four-prong power cord on my Kwikee Steps the door light wavered from poorly lit to finally going out shortly after the reconnection. Seems to me like an internal testby the step brain If your steps...
Traveling to Connecticut coast from Florida this August. Probably final trip in Dutch Star. We have our stops through north GA. Stop at Harvest Moon in Adairsville every trip north. Then on to Rt81 N. Any recommended stops through PA? In PA we have another traditional stop, Pine Hill RV Park, before NJ. We can make from there to Riverdale Farms, Clinton CT, our resting spot before returning home. Riverdale is a bit rustic and basic by our standards but it works for the family we are...
What are those of you who are out glamping or camping on July 4th seeing as park occupancy? We are staying closer to home this summer due to some medical appointments, but we decided on Monday to go to the Houston area to visit the kids. I thought I would see if I would luck out and get a spot at one of our favorite parks in the Sam Houston National Forest. I was shocked to find 12 out of a total of 47 full hookup 50 amp sites open. This park is located on Lake Conroe, which is less than...
