Has anyone here ever driven the perimeter of the lower 48? I like road trips like this. Started mapping it out this morning. Looks like its in the neighborhood of 11,000 miles. Pete

I have a Penguin ac unit in my Edge M21. It's very loud but does the job. I see that Dometic has released a Penguin II. They say in the literature that it's quieter than it's predecessor. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the differences between the Penguin and the Penguin II. Thanks Pete

I have a overwhelming desire to pull the rig out of storage and hit the road. The problem our summer started about a month and a half ago with 80 degree days. Now its back down to freezing at night and cool in the day. My camping cycle internal clock is all messed up! The only fix i can think...

Good afternoon all. Im looking for a little advice. I am looking for a rack system that utilizes the steak pockets on my chevy 2500, so I can carry a canon while keeping the tonneau cover closed and locked. It looks like there are only a few venders of these things. I would have figured there...

Well, I bit the bullet and bought a new truck. A Chevy 2500HD diesel. we have been putting it through its paces on a 6000 mile tour. we are 2500 into the trip and so far all i can say is that its doing a great job. I love the exhaust brakes. currently getting about 19.8 highway not towing and...

I have an edge 2012 m21 with a Dometic RML 8555 refer. We are on an extended driving tour. I have noticed that the refer will work correctly and keep things cold in all modes while stationary but while going down the road for several hours, it warms up. Now i have checked the mode its in. I have...

A number of years ago, like 15, I had software that did a real nice job of mapping out a route and providing camping locations along the way. That was at a time when the internet was just coming into it's own. Today I would like to have something on line that would let me select a specific...

Big step today, we listed the house. One step closer to Traveling around the country in a fifth wheel. Of course in this economy it could be a while.:) PhotoPete

Some time ago I read a post about garmin type devices that will point out low clearances. one poster noted that you could purchase a POI database compatible with garmin and others from LowClearances.com for a very reasonable fee. I purchased that product and gave it a go on my garmin. My...

A bit ago I was accused of not camping very far south, based on my map of the country. In fact I believe I was invited to visit Texas. Its true, I must confess its cooler up here and It's a long haul from northern lower michigan. But, we are planning a trip down to Houston to see our son (and...

Hi Bob, I really need your advice on a serious problem: I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: if the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes out with the girls a lot. I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home...

I am thinking ahead a year or two, to a time when I purchase something like a Grand Canyon, as I spec out a new truck I am looking at. The question of hitch weight has me scratching my head. Naturally the dealer is useless and just says "oh yea, no problem" The hitch weight of a new Grand...

I always fly an American Flag at my camp site. I noticed over the last week that very few others do. Just curious how many of you out there fly your countries flag?

Cooking dinner the other night with that kitchen hood fan running. I noticed that every time I turned on a 12 volt light in the camper the fan speed was affected. I've seen it before over the years, but never really bothered with it.Is there anything I can do to the power system to make it so...

Finally out camping. Sitting by the fire with my new Edge M21. So far the rig is doing what it should, except for a warm refer. Life is good by the fire with a cold one and the Internet!Photopete

Happy holidays everyone. We just purchased a new Edge M21. It was manufactured 6/20/11. It has a Dometic RML 8555 fridge in it. The fridge temp gets too warm as the outside temp climbs. As I began to investigate I noticed that the fan, the user manual says it has, is missing. The second image...

It would be nice if you guys would change the tank design so you are able to place the drain valve near an edge of the trailer. In its current position, in the center of the trailer makes it unnecessarily difficult to drain the water tank. PhotoPete

I removed a sticker next to a smoke detector yesterday and it left a gooey mess behind. Can someone recommend a adhesive remover that wont damage the soft touch ceiling? Thanks PhotoPete

We finally got the tomatoes planted! It's been a slow ramp up to what I guess is late spring/early summer. Lets hope we don't get any more frosts. I'm sure many of you out there had them in the ground a long time ago. PhotoPete

Can someone tell me what brand and size of tire is being placed on the very latest Edge M21's to roll off the line? With all the talk of "china bomb" tires, I began to think perhaps replacements might be in order. I appreciate the feedback. PhotoPete

We need to be in Somers MT at the end of June. Thinking about taking the trailer out there. Call it a working vacation. Anyone ever stay in the area? We would want full hookup but with a place that had nice facilities and clean hot showers. Any Ideas? Thanks PhotoPete

Has anyone out there had any experience with Great Lakes RV Center in Elkhart? Thanks PhotoPete

As a newer forum member, and an anxious soon to be Edge M21 owner, I thought I would post a question for kicks and giggles. (There hasn't been much action on the Edge forum of late) How long do you figure it takes to build a M21 from the time they set the frame on the dollies till it roles out...

Can someone please tell me how you go about generating the graphic of the USA with states colored in for places you have been? I have looked all over the place for info on it but am coming up dry. I appreciate your help Photopete
