    Recommended Camping in Ottawa Canada Area

    I was thinking of Wesley Clover too, that would be my recommendation. Going further west towards Fitzroy park will just be a lot more travel time to get anywhere in Ottawa. Wesley park is right off the 417, easy access to park, then right back onto the highway no matter which way you are...

    Electricity Jolt

    When the fire people were done, they said that the fire started in the trailer where the fuses are located. They determined this by the amount of damage that was in that area. All that was running was the fridge/freezer in the main coach, and the smaller fridge in the outside kitchen. Both...

    Electricity Jolt

    Long story short, trailer is now reduced to ashes as a result of what I believe was a power surge while plugged into shore power at my house. Yes of course less than 1 week before leaving for camping! l lost many items in the house that were plugged into my wall plugs also. I thought that the...

    Water Pump location?

    When I had to locate my water pump on my trailer it wasn't too bad, 2 screws and voila. Getting access to the water heater was another story. What a PITA! I often wonder what the design team was thinking on this one. Still considering myself youngish, I worry about the older ones of us...

    Battery Life

    Hello! DW took the trailer and didn't make it to their destination (couldn't get trailer into spot so are now boondocking it). I have the fridge turned on with the gas for them, but now I am wondering about the battery. They will only be using the lights, so how long "should" it last...no...

    Diesel life

    I am thinking of trading my gas truck in for a diesel and making the next step, to what I think will be easier towing (Not cheaper, does that even exist?). The cost for the gas (2008 Hemi with no cylinder deactivation because it's a 2500 series) is killing me with no trailer, but especially...

    Outdoor kitchen

    I never worried about it. We just locked the door when we went out for the day, and at night and we were all set. Don't think it's anything to worry about.

    How to manually operate slide on 33TBUDS?

    On mine there really is no rails to see underneath. It's all enclosed under there. IF I do have this problem, I don't want to start cutting that up. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of enclosing the underbelly? I have seen other posts where the motor is on TOP of the slide. I hope that's...

    How to manually operate slide on 33TBUDS?

    Did you find out how to do it? I've got the same model and and been up and down, in and out of the trailer and I'm not too sure either where it is for all of the slides. I have been dreading the day that it doesn't work for me, either setting up, or taking down. In my bag of manuals I did get...

    Winter Storage...

    At that time no, i didn't have the water heater bypassed. Never had that problem before, but i guess we'll call it a new "feature" of the new one. Will have to try bypassing it next year and see what happens. That being said though, shouldn't it still fill up and allow air to go through the...

    Winter Storage...

    So while I was at work DW decided to remove the TV, so I guess it's out for the winter. LOL! Before I was going to run antifreeze through it, I usually blow out the lines with my air compressor via the city water connection. I couldn't get any air to come out of any of the faucets etc. I...

    Winter Storage...

    It's that time off year where some of us in the great white north look towards (not happily) doing the winter storage routine. This is my 1st trailer with a TV in it. Do you take the TV out during the winter months? Parts of me say yes, and others say no. The rest of the entertainment...

    RV Cover Options

    Funny, I was just thinking the same thing today on my way to work. I drained all the water out yesterday, going to go at it later this week with the air compressor to take out the rest of the water and get the lines relatively clear, then put in the ever popular antifreeze! I never covered up...
