In our past motor homes we have had bicycle carriers going into the tow bar and only lost our bikes once in the Yukon when we stopped for breakfast and backed into the spot up to some woods and got out to go the restraunt. On returning we got Tigger his treat and walked him and and got back in the rig and nev...

Who has one now and are you happy with the result ? Time is approaching fast for us to make a decision on what kind of hitch we are going to have installed on the truck. ( I am leaning towards AIR ) I believe the fifthwheel we'll be getting will have a MOR ryde pin box on it.

I read on here sometime, where someone linked us to a trailer that you could load your motorcycle on, and pull behind a fifth wheel. Does anyone know where that link is? Thanks

I just wrote asking about gas grills and propane, but now I am wondering if just charcoal is a better choice? What do you use out there for your barbecues while fulltiming? Before we buy one...it will be good to hear the pros and cons and best choices for others Thanks Larry

We are in the process of buying a Webber gas grill for the new MH, and think we will get the Q 200....and the folding table and case. However we do not want to hook it up to the Vectra's propane tank, and those little disposables are a pain...so I was wondering if it is safe or advisable to buy a regular 20...

We have one , but it sure takes up a lot of room ! So here's the question; Since we now have 85 gallons of grey water storage and we dont really plan on any longterm boondocking, is it really worth the realestate it commands sitting in the back of the truck ? We used it a fews times in the past, when we stayed a...

We are planning on a trip to Alaska in 2008. We have been several times previously but this is the first with an RV. The last time we bought 44 pounds of frozen fish and brought it home in an insulated box that we checked as baggage. We are thinking about bringing home frozen fish this time. We know that some...

Even tho we are a few years from fulltiming we are trying to purchase some accessories that we will need on the road ahead of time. Does anyone keep/have a list of accessories that they have had to purchase for their RV? I would love to have some suggestions so maybe we can compare your list to ours! Than...

Is this something everyone just gets or does it really work ? Our new home feels solid as a rock but all the other fulltimers in the park we are at have either a tripod or bipod setup on their kingpin. While we are on the subject, how about those wheel locks ? You know the ones that look like a automobile sc...

We were at the Tampa RV show last weekend and saw several RV water softeners. I inquired about these units and received tons of information. Camping world sells 2 different kinds. I was wondering if anyone actually has one of these. If so, which one? I have heard that having a softener is better fo...

Most likely a dumb question, but ? Could you set up a large battery bank and good inverter/charger and a small genset (honda 2k) and power an ac ? I understand that running the ac draws less amps than when it actually starts and cycles, so if your battery bank/inverter can handle the starting/cycleing...

Has anyone replaced an older style tv in a motor home? We have a "square screen" tv in our 04 Bounder. I'd like to get a flat-screen LCD TV. Just wondering what it will take to do this. Can we just go in to Best Buy or Sears and buy the right size and put it in ourselves, or is this something th...

We are considering a aluminum roll top cover for our truck. Does anyone have or use something like this. We considered having a tarp like H&L's made but, we will be carrying our two honda generators in it, and would like a little more security when not hitched up. We are looking at this one here Ken

Luckily no broken glas...

I am considering buying a pressure pro. Has anyone found any place to buy one at a good price? I saw that Flying J had one advertised for $582, is that a good price or should I look elsewhere? Do the sets come with enough sensors to handle all the tires on a fifth wheel rig, -truck and trailer?

We will not fulltime for another 17 months. So, during winter months we do not use our Fifith wheel. Are there advantages/disadvantages to keeping it under one of those covers? We can not see spending money at this time to build a permanent shelter for only the winters of 2007-2008 and part of...
