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

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!

This is the winterizing positions of the water heater valves, I left them as is, hooked up to city water, ran all the taps and toilet till clear. The water heater is full (I opened the pressure valve enough to bring water through it). Can anyone tell me what the "in use"-postion of the valves...

I'm interested in what the hitch capacity is on the back of my 2011 MPG183. I'd like to mount a cargo carrier and bike rack there ans wonder if additional support or modifications would be necessary Thanks

the champion generator is 130lbs dry....the cargo platform is rated for 500lbs. Do you think that is still too much weight for the back of an MPG 183 TT?

jnbhobe - thanks for the feedback - what would "doing it right" entail? The only other concern I had about having it on the back of the trailer, was drafting fumes inside somehow...any thoughts on that?

Just bought an MPG183 and plan to go cross country this summer, just my dogs and I. I have a small Champion generator that the seller threw in with the sale - my question is about how to transport it and extra gas, and also the best way to use it when parked. My TV is a suburban, and the genny...

Thanks so far, please be patient I am REALLY green at this...(as in never owned an rv) Questions: So 1st I hook up city water, open the faucets and flush the toilet till water runs clear....do I keep the hot water heater on bypass during this, or change the valves and fill the tank after...

MPG De-Winterizing Help I posted this earlier and it was exiled (moved) to somewhere non-MPG specific - so moderators PLEASE do not move this, where ever you moved it to, it is being ignored! Have some mercy here; this is my first RV and I had hoped to try it out this weekend, but I cannot...

Those pics are really helpful - how great would it be to see a pic of the skeleton on one of these huh? Does anyone know if the frame is aluminum or steel? Just wondering how I could locate the substructure

Just got a 2011 MPG-183 - its my first RV. I have extensive renovation experience with homes, but am not familiar with how this trailer is built. Before I start screwing things like towel bars, clothes hooks, rod holders. etc into the walls, roof etc - I'd like to know how its made and what...

Just bought a gently used 2011 183 MPG, and the seller was kind enough to do a complete walk through on all systems so that we could video it for future reference. Of course, that video has disappeared into a black hole of technology somehow. The MPG is currently winterized, this is also my...

Hi All- Brand new (used) 2011 183 MPG Owner, and brand new RV'r here! Been reading through here trying to figure out the consensus on an awning / screen room set up, but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Does the Dometic Dome sold on ebay work? I'm going to be traveling solo, so I...
