It is now easy to rent an RV even in more rural areas from private owners. Let's look at the economics of rentals. There is typically a large refundable security deposit as in $500-1000. You can pick up and drop off trailers near home. People will deliver them for about 35 cents a mile...

A recent thread about a member going on a trip through some national parks made me check out some of the recommended campgrounds. Wow. The prices shocked me. Lowest being about $150 per night. Some almost $300! That's $1K to $2K per week plus taxes for a spot to park. That kind of money can also...

We recently had one of those “you’ve got to be kidding me” RV moments. All we wanted was two additional shelves for our Dynamax Isata 5 pantry — nothing fancy, just the same light grey coated wood shelves that came with the rig (11” x 18”). First stop: contacting the Dynamax factory. They were...

I was quoted $4400 to replace the leaf springs and king pins on the front of my 2014 Thor ACE 27.1 Class A. Seems High to me, anybody have any recommendations? I live in the Myrtle area SC.

We have a 2016 Forest River Fr3 32DS that just blew an engine, dropped valve from a broken spring, ugh. We have 39,000 miles on it, and outside of just or normal wear and tear its a good unit. Curious to get feedback and thoughts on: Do we put the $15k into this rig with a new Ford Crate...

When I connect my 2019 A212HW a-frame camper to shore power, I hit the "auto" button on my three way Dometic fridge. The only choice it gives me is DC power. When I try to connect to AC power, it won't connect. I've googled the troubleshooting, and it appears to most likely be a problem with...

Hello I have a 2022 or 2023 (not certain) 26dbh. It came with a 30 amp service and 1 ac unit. We are dying down in south Louisiana I refuse to sell and have to buy a bigger one because I would need a bigger truck too. So I’m looking to just add a second ac unit. Just seeing if anyone has any...

Questions: How do you save costs on fuel or do you even worry about it? Prices today within just a few miles vary widely on diesel. 4.09 at my local loves or $3.24 at a local station in a small town nearby(they move a lot of fuel). I drive a lot between Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and TN. My goto...

Can anyone provide details on visiting Monument Valley? We will be truck camping and are interested in details regarding campsite costs, guide costs, dry camping in the Valley, etc. Thanks much!!

Ok...my wife and I are about to embark on a mission with our 3 girls (soon to be a 4th!) We are starting from ground zero and will be dull timing the next year (or more). Part of the challenge we are having is getting a CLass A layout that works for us...so we started looking at a bus...

Hello! New to the forum, it's been extremely insightful in figuring out what I want in my FWC. I'm currently looking at a rig for full-time (1-2 year) use for a cross-country climbing and documentary film journey. I'll mostly be camping in unimproved/dispersed campsites and will almost never...

Hi all, I fell in love with the idea of a Skoolie over pintrest this past summer, but my love of tiny homes sprouted long ago. I am graduating this spring and want to buy and start constructing my skoolie. But I have one major concern- money. I will have $20000 in loans that need to be paid...
