    RV Outlet USA Danville Va

    We purchased our 4012 from them. Custom ordered, so we didn't pick from their selection... Service was great in the beginning, however when it came to warranty work, things got a little slower. A lot of empty promises and after a while we just gave up. I think if we didn't live so far from...

    Nasty water leak....can you guess from where?

    Problem solved!!! I just realized that I never posted the final outcome of our problem. Issue was with the refrigerator vent. Water was coming in from there, running down the back of the fridge and into the kitchen area. After much time at the dealer "simulating rain" heehee.. The dealer...

    Water Pump Super loud

    Ours actually just started getting louder until 1 day while taking a shower it stopped working... :mad:. Hubby flipped the pump off and then back on and that seems to do the trick. Based on the call placed to the dealer, it sounded to them that the pump was failing and will need to be replaced...

    Virginia RV'ing

    To add to the Favorites Even before we had the camper we loved the stay at Douthat State Park outside of Lexington, VA in Millsboro. Just beware, you will have a tough time getting anything over 30ft around the trees into their nice spacious sites. We still go to Douthat, but only when we...

    Assistance Planning CrossCountry Road Trip

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I love books, and you all gave me plenty to buy and use as a guide with our planning. I especially love the suggestion of the AAA. I almost forgot how much information they provide. Can't forget the low clearance site as well. I had that one in my...

We are looking to go during the summer months when school is on break. Trying to get...

    Nasty water leak....can you guess from where?

    Thanks Jett & Tom of Ypsi, We have looked at both your suggestions and no problems there. The camper is currently with the dealer for other warrenty work and we mentioned the problem to them. They have heard of this a couple of times already and are looking into making some kind of hood...

    water leak in kitchen

    I posted not to long ago that this has happened to us during a recent rain storm. We have our camper at the dealer now for some warranty work and mentioned this to them. They have only had a couple other customers complain about this and they are looking into adding a possible hood without...

    Nasty water leak....can you guess from where?

    Thanks to you both for your help. We know that covering the vent isn't an option, I just didn't know if they made a hood for it. Although, good news is that it has been raining really hard all day today and no leaks. The only difference from Saturday and today was the wind, we had large gusts...

    Nasty water leak....can you guess from where?

    We were at the races this weekend, when we got hit by a pretty nasty storm. I walked into the kitchen, right into a puddle of water. Looked and it was flowing from under the refrigerator :eek:. At first I thought we had a problem there, but after DH looked into it further, the water was coming...

    What type of dishes, glass or plastic?

    I love my corelle. Our set came with the glass coffee mugs as well. All I have put down is the thick gripping shelving liners and everything stays in place, nothing in between. For the coffee mugs, I keep a small gap between them just so they don't touch. Many of our trips take us off roading...

We are heading out for a 3 day trip to our favorite camping area in VA. Douthat National Park, a very beautiful, spacious area for large campers. Anyone coming...

    I just got an exciting email!

    Love Our New Addition!! I guess I will have to step in and reply since DH has been busy this week. Our first outing with the 4012 was last Saturday. We arrived at the race early, so parking was not an issue - Our Dodge seemed to pull that beast with little effort. (I was a little worried, that...

    We have taken ownership of our new 4012 We picked up or 4012 Thursday. It is better than expected and even larger than I expected :D . We took it to the races this past weekend and everything went great. Only a few little things that we have noticed right off, but nothing that DH can't fix...

    Very EXCITED Indeed! To add onto what my DH has stated. I am hoping that it arrives in time for the last race of the season. Can't wait to roll up with our new toy attached. :D Well I better take inventory of what we have and don't have so I can do MORE SHOPPING (maybe if DH sees that here, it...

    Where are all the Heartland 5ers ????????

    We caught a glimpse of a BigHorn finally in our area. We were leaving a race in Newport News, VA and there it was on 64 heading towards VA Beach. Hopefully, when we get or 4012, this will help pick up sales in our area ;) :D . It is a shame that we haven't seen more of them.

    2008 Southeast Regional Rally is set!

    Jim, I have been looking at the website and this looks like a really nice place. You mention that there is 25 reserved spots already. Can you tell me where those spots are located. I was looking at the site map and that place is huge, just trying to get a general idea. This rally is...

    Creamy Broccoli Bake

    Great recipe, not often that I have all ingredients in the house. Made it tonight for dinner with grilled chicken. Yum, it was very good. I love the cream of celery soup alteration. I too am in the same situation, hubby doesn't like mushrooms, even really tiny ones that you can't really...

    Ok well, the hardest part has been done. Today we placed our order. Yep we have been told that our new 4012 should arrive in about 5 weeks. I do need some assistance from other 4012 owners. I neglected to measure the master bed and the bed in the bunk area. We are thinking about adding a...

    Traveling with the dogs this weekend without the RV :(

    Great website. I especially like the way they come right out and say "that they are not a traditional family campground". This looks like a great place to visit. DH and I will have to add this to one of our places to visit when we plan out our "time alone" trips. ;) Thanks for sharing.

    Traveling with the dogs this weekend without the RV :(

    Our Beagle goes everywhere with us, to the office with hubby, to the races with us, everywhere. What we do is keep all of his "Stuff" in an overnight carrying bag (like the one you would take on a plane) it works great. I top off the dog food and treats after returning from our last trip and...
