Thanks for the input everyone. Upon further review, I agree.....this IS an insane idea. Consider it printed, shredded, and tossed into the compost bin!

Premise: Our traveltrailer is used perhaps 6 or 7 times per year on actual campingexcursions. While parked at home it willalso double as a guest house during holidays and family gatherings. While not in use I try to keep the wastewater holding tank as empty and clean as possible in...

I appreciate your point regarding additional spending on the front end. I don't have a really good reason other than I'm a cheap sob (my limited understanding of this particular context on this particular site means I'm 'some other brand'......I'm ok with that.) All kidding aside, storage is...

I have been contemplating purchasing a FloJet Macerating Pump System for the express purpose of cleaning the holding tanks while at home. I have ready access to the septic tank clean out port, but it is probably a good 50+ feet from how close I can park the travel trailer to the house. My...

Thanks for the input Bob. I'll invest in a new battery and try to remember to check the cells on a better schedule than this first one. Would love to see a picture of the '58 Belair!

I took hydrometer readings in all 6 cells of my RV battery. Results: Cell 1: Gage reads in between 1.275 and 1.300 specific gravity; ("Good Condition") on the hydrometer scale. Cell 2: Gage reads in between 1.100 and 1.150 specific gravity; ("Recharge") on the hydrometer scale. Cell 3: Same...

Regardless the basic conversation, my wife would look at the title and immediately declare an oxymoron; after which she would inquire if I had weeded the garden yet.......... Grin.

I discovered in my Travel Trailer the same issue, a very noisy water pump. The excess noise was coming from the outlet hose vibrating against the wall board cut out where the hose passed thru. The hose was in contact with the structure and the noise was amplified thru the wall. The remedy was...

This is kind of a strange problem. If anyone has any similar experience and / or suggestions, please, by all means, chime in. Lately, especially after a rain event followed by freezing air temps, the 'brush' like weather stripping on the bottom of the screen door collects the moisture from the...

Thank you for the information.

Rig: Heartland M21 Edge, 2011 model. I am temporarily storing a fellow camper's rig on my property. It does not get used very often and I am about to winterize it for the off season. The unit has 2 full size batteries connected in series. The owner has also invested in 2 solar panel trickle...

Washed the exterior from top to bottom. Even with a small travel trailer, this is a daunting task. The summer dust, dirt, and predictable rains have combined to leave a lot of ugly surface conditions. Took almost 3 hours, but the camper looks SO much better now. Hopefully, DW and I can get...

Thank you and your husband for your service!

Strongly concur!

Alive and well in Southeast Virginia, waiting for the next available 3 day weekend in order to leave the driveway. I need to retire so I can make any weekend a 3 day event.......problem is, my wife keeps saying 'Not yet.' Also, just read your other post on Edge maitenance tips. Good ideas...
