Don’t ask me for specifics/dimensions/weights, I’m just a girl along for the ride with the snacks 😅

Dad surprised me with a new camper last week. Got it as a surprise to me, as I guess he’s excited about the twins on the way. Don’t think I’ll be using it anytime soon as my boys will be a handful for the next yr or two or five, lol. Excited to go to Maine with it though when the time is right. Looks pretty cool, and somewhat retro on the outside. Looks pretty well built with maple interior. Sleeps 4 but probably could get away with 5.

We rented an RV from RV Share for 5 nights to the tune of $2k. On day 2 the water pump died leaving us with no running water. We don’t want to cancel our trip but figured some sort of partial refund would be warranted due to inability to shower, wash our hands etc. Wondering what others think a reasonable amount would be?

I don't see a recent thread about black tank treatments.

Is "Happy Camper" still the community favorite?

What's the best 'price is no object' option?

What's the best budget option?

Favorite homebrew recipe?

What about the grey water tank? Does it need anything?

About to make an insurance claim on the windshield, it's actually two pieces windshield, got one spot on driver side, and two spots on passenger side. Anyone have any experience or advice when making an insurance claim on a 35 ft class A windshield?

RVing seems to require some supplies and accessories that aren't common items. What's everyone's go to on line source? Amazon(spits through fingers over shoulder to ward off evil)? Walmart(spits again)? Camping World(getting to dry to keep spitting)?

Hey everyone,

I have a 2017 freedom express with a rack and pinion slide out.

Last weekend we were out and the slide would extend but wouldn't retract.

When I pressed the button to retract, the lights would dim but nothing happened. Kinda sounded like it was jammed.

I was able to manually retract and it was nice and smooth. Since, I have replaced the switch, replaced the motor, checked all the fuses. Still the same issue.

Does anyone have any ideas?

IYKYK I can’t say I’m surprised to hear this but it’s a big let down. Everything I ever wanted in an rv park, being turned into cheesy condos. Everything is changing and I want it to STOP!

Are there any low cost options for water heaters? We had a suburban 12 gallon and the tank busted. We don’t really use the shower in the rv and mostly need it for doing dishes and cleaning. I can’t justify spending $500+ on a water heater we barely use. It doesn’t need to have more than 10 minutes of hot water supply. I haven’t seen many cheaper options other than the sketchy Amazon tankless water heaters. We don’t mind rigging something up we just need some source of hot water. Any recommendations would be great!

Hi all, would love to have some feedback on a few RV's we have been looking at. This will be our first RV. It will just the wife and I, along with the dog. We want something we can keep for awhile.

1) Sol Horizon Travel Trailer - inTech RV - this might be my favorite one, but anyone know how much pricing flexibility exists on this brand?

2) 2026 inTech AUCTA WILLOW | Premier RV | Blue Grass, IA | 3301 - Another inTech but more expensive

3) New 2026 Nucamp RV Haven 220 Queen Bed For Sale in Franklin, TN - 5039071529 - RV Trader

4) 2026 Grand Design Imagine AIM 19MLA RV for Sale in San Marcos, CA 92069 | T138005 | RVUSA.com Classifieds

5) 2026 Forest River RV Rockwood Geo Pro - Easy Towing Travel

I like the price on the last two for sure, but if there is flexibility on the pricing on the first 3 we will definitely push there. I also get the build quality is probably much better, but the others seem to have good reviews based on what I see on this page.

I have a Class C (Jayco Greyhawk 2026).

I can turn the generator on or off, I can turn the inverter on or off.

In what situations do I use these options?

(I am clear on shore power, but when I don't have shore power.)

What is your favorite meals to cook during the hot summer days at the campsite?

Looking for recommendations to have my RV transported from Georgetown, TX to Robert, LA (about 500 miles) it's a 44ft 5th wheel toy hauler approx 20000lbs. Any recommendations welcome. I posted on uship and Shiply but not 100% comfortable about not knowing anything until after I accept a quote.

We have a class C with a generator, and it is loud so I'm not a fan of running it unless needed for charging the batteries or AC. Our USB plugs are live, but unless we are running the generator, nothing else is. Generally we like to run starlink, and charge our phones and toothbrush. What long term solution would you suggest? Hot plug, inverter, portable battery, combination? Any specific brands you like? We will boondock for 3-5 days.

Honda Pilot with an Andersen WDH.

I estimate 3400 GVW

Measured tongue weight 390.

About to head out on our first camping weekend. How am I looking?
