I decided after the Amarillo trip to blow the water lines out instead of using antifreeze after reading about you all doing it and not having problems. I got the air line to water inlet adapter, regulated pressure to 45 psi and blew the lines until nothing at all came out. Good to go. The...

We don't ever. Cattledogs are protective by nature and will bark when they hear someone outside the house or trailer. I'm not going to be that jerk who's dogs bark and bark when I'm not there. Also I'm just uncomfortable leaving them in the trailer and going any distance away. It does limit...

This showed up on my YouTube page. Looks well built but can't see any real advantages. Adds 3 feet to your length it looks like, much longer turning radius of trailer, adds 500? lbs. And it's only $6,000...

A couple of weeks ago our BFFs in Pa let us know they were traveling to San Antonio for a conference, would we like to get together somewhere since that's a lot closer than the 2100 miles between our homes. They were at Palo Duro Canyon SP once and had a good time, we stopped there in early...

Trying but just can't see the point of this. https://www.romotow.com/romotow-t8-production

Any thoughts on these fancy equalizers with the rubber bumpers inside that are supposed to make the trailer ride softer? How would you know? It's hard to imagine you could determine the trailer was riding smoother through anything you could feel through a receiver hitch. Has anyone...

This was just recommended by the guy with the Big Truck Big RV YouTube channel. Lots of good reviews. 120V won't work for me at the storage lot. 4in1 rodent repellent

Got home today after 4 days at Lost Dutchman State Park east of Phoenix and was cleaning up and checking things out. Popped the hood and found these cute little footprints on the top of the engine plastics. Wayne knows what it is. :mad: I checked real close for any wires chewed and didn't...

I've winterized the plumbing per the instructions in the owner's manual with antifreeze and just this year realized the city water line in and the fresh tank line in from the water panel don't get antifreeze. I mentioned this to Wayne and he said he just blows the water out with compressed air...

2017 Grand Design 2150RB bought lightly used in December 2020. It was bought new by a guy who didn't seem to have much DIY ability so nothing had been addressed. I've been correcting things as I find them since we brought the trailer home. I was crawling around underneath the other day and...

So I put off wheel bearing maintenance too long considering the recommended interval is yearly or 10,000 miles. Before our big spring trip it was at 8,000 miles since last done, meant to do it just didn't get to it. No excuse, not hard, wife helps out so it goes quickly usually around 2...

Our trailer has Dometic A/C, Suburban furnace, and a Dometic digital thermostat. When using heat the degree offset from set temp to heat on to heat off has always been far too wide, you're roasting when it finally turns off. There's one option that reduces the temp delta but something is...

Our Grand Design has 2 large drawers, one under the oven and one in the bathroom above the water heater. Both puked the ball bearings after some plastic parts broke in the slide somewhere. The drawer under the oven was the worst so I tackled it first. Of course the slides aren't high quality...

At the end of October we headed south for a week in southern Arizona checking out a few State Parks. First stop was Catalina SP northwest of Tucson. What a nice campground, sites spaced out, all paved, all facilities well cared for. The Catalina mountains make a great backdrop and there's...

This video popped up on my YouTube home page. It took about 10 seconds to know exactly how this "accident" happened. Towing a 30' travel trailer with a Frontier with no weight distribution or sway control. At 00:05 you see the hitch as the truck drives over the camera and at 1:34 you can see...

Earlier this year I read about that foam insert you can put into your AC discharge to direct the cold air into the ductwork better and wondered what it looked like in ours and found a mess in the intake plenum. First off why would the junction box be mounted directly in the air flow blocking...

On Thursday September 9th we headed out on our first trip with the new Sierra 3500 and the Grand Design trailer that's only seen local trips since we got it last December. We headed north to Ash Fork Az and took I-40 west to Gallup NM, then north through the Rez to Cortez Co then east to Mancos...

Tomorrow morning we're heading out for a week in southwestern Colorado and southern Utah. First trip out, finally, with the new outfit. We'd only done local weekends with the trailer before the new Sierra and a couple of local weekends with the new truck, the 2 cross-America moving runs...

When I was young and we were camping around the eastern US in a pop-up my parents had a sign with our names that they hung out so other people knew who we were. They went out of their way to make other people's acquaintance and would end up with visitors at our campfire or going to theirs. I...

My sister and BIL just retired, both in early 60s, both from gubmint jobs. Their camping up til now has been going to a local state park 2-3 times a year with the '70s Coleman pop-up that his mom bought new . They've done motel travelling (live in Pa) to New England, Florida, and a cruise...
