newbie

My wife and I are both retired and live in lower Alabama. We just purchased a 2018 Thor Four Winds and have used it at two relatively close campgrounds. We have never had a motorhome before. Looking forward to being part of this community and learning as we go, including your help. Thanks

The wife and I have been RVing for about 8 years. Started with a Class A and then went to a 5er. It was a Forest River 3990 Suite and about the worst designed 5th wheel in history. Rear bedroom with a bunkroom on top and the rear end was so low, I couldn't keep it from dragging. We just traded...

Hi everyone :) I actually made this account for my dad. He's got a 2002 Fleetwood Bounder with a problem and I was hoping to look through the forums and find the answers he needs. I don't think the new members forum is the spot for that, but I wanted to introduce anyway! Possible pictures to...

This might become my dumping ground for my build. Anybody build their foamie with Insulfoam? I'm planning to build a hi-lo foamie similar to the build below. Could Insulfoam R-7.7 2" thickness work for the bottom walls? Or would Owen Cornings Foamular NGX F-250 R-10 2" thickness be better?

Hello! I'm new to DIY and wish to build a hi-low foamie camper. Any tips, tricks, links, photos, etc. that anybody is willing to share with me would be much appreciated. -Kaida

Hi. Totally new to this. Still looking for an RV to purchase - hopefully in the next 2wks. I kept running into this community while checking reviews & such which has helped me formulate questions to RV sellers. I have a lot to learn. Actually I have everything to learn. Like... totally...

Hi folks, I live in the suburb of Houston, TX, have been thinking about getting into RV for a while. I have been researching more lately, and planning to get a travel trailer. While there are so much information online on this subject, I still have a lot of questions. Hope I could learn from...

Retired for the second and for final time, now that the Mrs. has retired as well. We are new to RVs, having upgraded from tent camping in the backcountry. We picked a brand new '24 FR Sunseeker LE 2150SLE and had it converted to 4X4 by Ujoint Offroad in NC and are logging in the miles. It's...

Hi. We are new to camping. Have a Salem fsx 169, platinum, 19'. If we want to camp in the winter, in Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, etc. do we need to make adjustments for our water usage? Winterize? How do we do this? If we still want to camp during the winter months and the temps could be well...

Hi all. We just purchased a 2005 36 MDDS. It's fairly clean and lived a good deal of its life indoors :D. I'm working on a long list of wrinkles to iron out. Just replaced the bedroom closet door catches. Making up a grab bar from the doorway banister up to the cabinets so DW feels safe...

Help! I’m a newbie. But I’m sure this is not normal. I arrived to find a waterfall running from the entire underbelly of the trailer. I turned off the water supply and waited. When it finally stopped I filled the fresh water tank only to have the same thing happen. The underneath of the trailer...

My wife & I are looking at purchasing a 2016 Tiffin 45op. We have never owned a coach. We currently pull a 46' fifth wheel but only use it a few times a year. We plan to do more traveling with the coach. I'm sure driving the coach is going to be a lot different, but I'm told it will actually be...

Hello - first day on this site and first post , so apologies if I get this wrong . I have a fireplace issue and have started this tread in heating , if it was better served to be appliances … again apologies . I have recently purchased a 2019 2670MK imagine trailer to be my new home. The...

Offer accepted on the coach we sought, picking it up next week. 1. Date code 2618 tires only have 17,500 miles on them. Llong test drive this weekend on freeway and local roads the coach tracked well, no unusual signs of wear on tread or sidewalls inside or out. No evidence of cupping...

Gentlemen - just brought the coach home from purchasing it (2018 Ventana) and everything has been running great. Had it in the driveway and moved in the last few days. This afternoon I am ready to take it to storage. I pulled everything in, disconnected power, started it, stabilizers up, walk...

Hello all - My wife and I recently purchased our first RV/Motorhome - a 2006 Fleetwood Discovery 39S. I've been poring over the owner's manual, and I've come across multiple references to an "Owner's Information Package" that supposedly details the use and maintenance of many of the rig's...

I joined recently, I have a 1985 Xplorer 340 RV, 29ft, seems like not too may like mine still around. I know of a few always looking for similar "relatives". Many upgrades, improvements, enhancements, etc. I bought it in 2003, with a list of problems, now with everything fixed it's a...

Well, somewhat of a newbie... We did a bit of camping renting a bumper pull down in the Smokies and then again renting again out West in Colorado Springs going out to Flagstaff. We've also done a fair bit of tent camping as chaperones for our church youth group when our daughter was younger...

Hi, everyone. Very excited to have a community to help me navigate my newly rediscovered camping urge. I had a darling conversion type RV years ago. Lived in it for about 3 months while between homes and jobs, but then had to give it up and get back to “normal” life. I vowed to come back some...

Hello folks, I'm Jack. I'm about to retire a few years early and have been researching for this moment for the last five years. I'm planning to buy an RV so I can kill three birds with one very expensive, not-so-durable stone. First, to have a place to live while I take a few months to...

I may be in the wrong place...I don't own an RV yet...I'm restoring a 75 year old house and when its done, I plan on buying a Motorhome and adopting a vagabond lifestyle. So I'm going to hit the road. I've been advised that a Tiffin 40 to 45 is the way to go. I can't buy new but would like to...

Hey everyone – just wanted to introduce myself as I dive into this whole RV life. Total newbie here. I’ve already realized the learning curve is real, and honestly, I don’t feel like the dealership did much to prepare me beyond handing over the keys. The first couple of outings have been full of...

Morning all, Well I have jumped into the DP world (33AA) from my Tiffin gas coach. I had a question on the sequencing of Jacks down and Slides out. More importantly, a question about the warning card in my hydraulics bay saying don't deploy the Jacks while the engine was running and of course...

Hi All! Me and my family of four are just getting into RVing. We recently purchased a 1998 Monaco Dynasty and are getting it road worthy for an adventure west. We love to adventure, explore, and make lasting memories. Looking forward to what we can learn and possibly contribute to the...
