    Fall trip to Washington, DC

    Cherry Hill is a good place to stay. They tell you at the office to not leave your awning out when you are not at the trailer.. Winds come up quickly and strong.. I lost my awning.. Was out to go to Mt. Vernon. Don't ask for a pull thru site. Take a back in. They have more room. The pull thru...

    I also get some condensation on the fins and sometimes some small icicles. My fins never frost over and have to be defrosted. I have seen some that did and they said they had to defrost about once a month. We onlydefrost maybe twice a year. BC

    Brass Check Valve?

    That is an improvement. I have a 2008 Bighorn. I went to change my check valve but when I got it out all it was, was a nipple. Didn't have to put the check valve in but I did anyway seeing how I had gone that far. The reason I didn't have a check valve is most likely that I have a valve inline. BC

    New owner from Texas

    You don't need to upgrade your GPS. I have the Garmin 465T. It has the trucker capabilities but I don't use it. It takes me out of the way a long way when I am not required to go there, such as Pole trailers. I can go there. I stick mainly to the US highways and have only run into one place...

    Some people have gotten good mileage out of them but when I got my trailer I replaced my tires with Michelin 16" XPS Ribs for self preservation. I don't want to have to repair my trailer, loose time on the road and be stuck somewhere I don't want to be. I like being pro active. About all the...

    Replacing the recessed lights with the new recesed LED lighting fixtures.

    Ok Guys.. here is my take on this. The fixtures are not that bad to replace... The entire fixture and LED bulb is $12. 29 for the rally. $13.83 for club members. I think Just the LED is more than that.. I looked for a replacement for the Halogen but did not see anything I liked. I like the...

    Surge protector may have gone out

    I have found that the majority of problems with power is at the campground pedestal. Now many of the campgrounds will tell you it is your protector or your trailer. I keep a volt meter that I can use to check the power at the pedestal and the surge protector.. I also had a problem with a Surge...
