    What did you do to your camper today?

    Woke up at 0530AM to 12-degrees outside. Went in to use the bathroom; no water. Before DW climbed out of bed and startedscreaming about having to take a shower and be gone by 0800, I run outside (it's still 12-degrees out here) andhook up the water hose to put the coach on “city water” supply...

    Sorry Dodge guys, I'm moving to the D/A camp

    With several exceptions, it seems we all are intrinsically aDodge person, a Ford person or a Chevy or GMC person. Several have suggested the same in this thread. I don’t necessarily think it is what ourparents drove; my son tends to be a Ford person, and quite happy with his F-150(other than...

    Dodge Ram 3500 Question

    Hi John: We have a new 2015 Ram Laramie dually setting at the Dodge dealer in Ankeny Iowa. We opted for the dually this time (rather than the SRW) and ended up with a Gun-metal metallic gray with a two-tone lower section. The cab this time is the mega cab for the convenience/comfort of rear...

    Referencing the current draw from the portable freezer (our is a Dometic, current draw on 12V is 7,0A when its running), with a compartment full of frozen salmon, and having left it in the truck for roughly 60+ hours, the Cummins fired to life without any note detected of "low battery". As...

    My Ladder Broke!

    I’ve been up our ladder less than a dozen times as it wasintended to use (meaning without outside support). I do currently use it at a leaning post orplace to stabilize my extension ladder when I need to go on top. When the ladder was new and I would climbatop, I could see the stabilizer bars...

    How many of you travel with a full fresh water tank?

    For this specific reason, we travel with only enough water for pit stops along the way. I'm close to my limits weight wise and simply don't need the added weight on my springs or reducing my mileage. To my knowledge, there are no baffle plates in the holding tanks which would cause more...

    What's with the water pump?

    Hi wingerbls: If I were in your shoes, I'd keep looking for all the various fittings in the plumbing scenario after the pump; even the fittings at the pump. The advantage to having it leaking while your on the pump, at least you know you are loosing pressure somewhere. I've just found water...

    Wheel nut torque.

    This is an interesting subject for me, as it should be for anyone towing. I can tell you "who pays" through past experience. It should be the person who quoted the torque. Roughly a year back, I had Discount Tires take off my Tow-blow tires and put on Maxxis tires. They torqued them down...

    Satellite pros/cons

    Hi detroitnick; agreed that there may not be a "best" answer for a solution here. I feel you need to decide how your going to use it; i.e. once a year, 6 times a season, or, full time use...... For my wife and myself, after three years of throwing a fold-away portable dish in and out of the RV...

    ATF: Ladder

    Seems it's unknown what the design engineers were thinking when the ladder systems for these RV's were designed, other than making them look nice. Anyone beyond the age of 9 will have challenges with the ladder stability. I've resolved to either using a portable ladder that will reach the top...
