Thanks for the responses. I surely have some research to do.
I hadn't thought of those places. I will check them out.
I'll search on some of the questions I have. That is what I used to do when I had my Jeep.
I don't have issues working on the drivetrain. I don't have experience with...
Thanks for this info. My new unit as well as the old one has the same gaps and leaks. The DW is on the way to the store to pick up some metal tape to seal them up. Also, thanks to @Neal for quizzing me on the "special gasket" that Newmar uses. It uses a foam divider to isolate the supply...
Welcome! I'm relatively new to this forum, as we just got our travel trailer. But, we are former popup people (and we still tent camp too!)! I used to frequent another forum called "Popup Portal" that was wonderful when we had our popups! Might be another forum to add to your collection...
As you all know, I have spent a lot of time researching and talking about ceramic coating.
Let me clarify briefly some of the major points of ceramic coating.
* Protects the clear coat
* By protecting the clear coat, it protects the paint
* Replaces the need to wax. The purpose of wax is to...
I also wanted to add, we didn't have an AC on our popups, and never felt we needed them. We did have bunkend fans, and heated mattress pads! They were used all the time! Worth the money!
I think Newmar is getting a bit over priced and maybe the current times will curtail some of this. We all know the coaches are suffering quality issues and some are thinking twice about newing up wondering if new is going to provide equal or better quality than the old. I wonder if we'd all...
We bought a 2006 Coachmen Mirada in 2018.
After a few months, I noticed that there was a soft spot that was developing in the linoleum in front of the toilet. Eventually, it cracked and water was coming up. I worried that it was a problem with the black water tank.
I got up the gumption and...

Long post. Please don't read if you object to long posts.
If you want to save money on campgrounds and RV parks, then you are going to have to put a little effort into it.
The easy way is to join half-price clubs like Passport America or spend lots of money to buy into outfits like Coast to...
Newbies here again still dealing with and living in the 02 Terry TT during the water damage disaster, summer of '21….. As I mentioned in our intro, we know nothing and have a lot to figure out. We could use your help greatly….
Today we focused on our one slide and the surrounding wall. The...
Thanks everyone, I'll definitely give some more thought to your comments with my preliminary responses below. I could go to $50ish on an RV if I had to, but would prefer not to if I can. I see RVs, through private sales, in the $30-50k range that were made in the early 2000s and often have less...
Dear Neal--
Thank you for this informative Solar 101 discussion. I own a 2017 Ventana as well although mine is a 3709 model. I'd guess I have a little less room for roof panels but all I really need to do is run my Whirlpool residential size fridge which I'll bet is the same one as yours. We...
Let me start by saying I know most in this group are the proud owners of Newmar "Diesel" Coaches! Yet, some of choose not to go that route, I being one of them.
So, being a proud owner of a Newmar Canyon Star "gas" coach; like everyone else; I have the desire for the best ride & drive comfort...
RV solar project update 1
Hey everyone,
Back again with another installment of updates on ..umm installments?
I know the first post here was long so im just going to dive right into this quick update. If you want to know all the details then grab a beer and read the first post here...
Neal have one thing you should change. The solar Off-On switch should after the solar and before the solar charger. The panels can be turned off with no harm but charger can be hurt.
...and how all this comes together to provide the needed electricity for your coaches demands. In addition if you decide to add MicroAir SoftStart units to your air conditioners as some of us have done and do a little more electrical work you can actually run an AC off of solar which is cool...
