Okay, been feeling enough like a green newbie just in terms of Rv'ing, but now I'm being told by a couple folks that I should be taking along a weapon if I"m headed cross country. It's been about 40 years since I fired an M16, and I'm about as green to weapons as I am to rv'ing...frankly the...

I'm posting this here because I'm planning my first x-country route, and I am really wishing that I had paid more attention to the "Grade" signs all those years of driving without a trailer, because now that I'll be pulling one - I'm having a hard time picturing what a "6% grade" is like. I...

I'd like to replace the existing fan in my 2011 MPG 183 with a more powerful Fantastic Fan. It requires a 14" x 14" opening, which the factory models appears to be as well. #1 - could you confirm that it is a 14" x 14" opening #2 - will I have any issues substituting this fan in regards to...

Can anyone post a link where the zip bag awning was ordered from? Thanks

trying to find where to buy the sewn on strip with the bead as well as the channel it slides into - but don't know what to call them...any help?

Thanks Dan - got it! Found it new on ebay for $258 free shipping / no tax

Thanks Dan - I have a tendency in other matters to opt for quality and investment, so what you are saying makes sense, I just don't know what I should be buying and right now, I'm a pretty easy mark for anything a sales person or product website says I "need". In reading the various...

Okay - another GREEEN newbie here with a really basic question related to this: If you have a 30A trailer, but only 50A hookups are available, can you still plug in safely? (I'll be so happy when I get all the dumb questions out of the way)

This newbie learning/research curve is a bear! Okay - there are surge guards, voltage regulators, combos that seem to run from $90 to $500..... What is the basic I really need for a little 30A MPG trailer? Thanks do I need something more than this?

Okay - head is hurting from all this research! Decided to go the recommended route of getting the 2000i combo pack and running them parallel....easier to lift in and out, less weight overall, better quality and easily re-sellable if not needed. Thanks for all the input.. ARGHH! Now that I've...

haha- My dogs are the best kind - mutts! The genny is quiet, but at 140lbs, I think everyone is right that the back cargo platform won't support it, and it ay screw up the hitch weight. I do not like the idea of trying to muscle that thing in and out of the trailer very time I stop. I did...

Not sure if this is the place to post this; I'm pretty new here, and to towing. Planning to leave louisiana for the pacific northwest in late June, essentially going Louisiana -> Denver/colorado -> Salt Lake City - > Yellowstone ->Spokane -> Seattle This will be nearly my first camping...

Okay - that solves the mystery! The seller had told me that they left everything in the winterizing position, and I could not figure out why top and bottom valves would both be open... Thanks everyone!
