    Wyoming Bound and Lots of Questions

    Baker, this should be an awesome trip for you. We traveled that way a couple of years ago and just fell in love Montana. When we travel, we know about how many miles we can travel in a day comfortably... usually about 320. We plan our route ahead of time, and I research the RV parks in...

    Headed out Sunday for Kerrville, TX and then on to Big Bend Area!!

    Hey Erika, thanks!! Yes we did get the tires replaced. Took your advise and went with the Maxxis tires. The guy at Discount Tire said he had never seen tires as bad as our Tomax Tires with less than 5,000 miles on them. We held our breath the entire way to get them replaced..!!!

    Towmax Garbage ! Another one bites the dust !!

    As newbie RVers last year, we had no idea, and the dealership did not tell us about the Tomax tire issues when we purchased.. We have had our Elkridge exactly a year. What we didn't know until just recently is that the tires already had 2000 miles on them when we bought the trailer...

    Question on new Companion B&W hitch

    Thanks everyone!! After reading your comments I went back out and the plate actually does move side to side but it took two of us pushing on it to get it move at all. I'm guessing it is designed to be stiff!!

    Good morning fellow RVers!! Have a question. We just had a new B&W Companion 20k hitch installed in our 2014 Ford. It's the hitch that fits the factory installed holes in the truck bed. This new hitch plate appears to only move or rock forward and backward. It has no side to side motion...

    Drawer Slides

    We had the same issue and my DH took every drawer out, removed the bottoms and glued and re stapled each one. Also he replaced the slides on several with heavier duty slides. No more drawer issues now!!!
