I am a Tent camper but the wife and daughter have had it with the tents. The

We just got back from a GREAT four-day "weekend" at a "local" state park.
I prefer to "dry" camp for the increased solitude it provides.  Also, the
"primitive" sites in this particular campground are "undefined" allowing me to
pull well back from the road.  This increases our ...

Has anybody try one of those friction sway control devices? Do they work
pretty well? Or should you use something different on the popup?

Well,
I'm in the building stage of my next RV mod/project. I want a computer
mounted permanently in it that isn't going to cost $1200. Something that I

I have some mylar 'space blankets' I purchased to cover the bunk ends of my
'00 Coleman Mesa, as a barrier to radiant heat. I chose to use space
blankets because they're bound on the edges and the fabric appears to be
reinforced. Their size requires that I use 2 per bunk end. If ...

We have had an egg crate foam pad on our mattress since day one... and over
time it absorbs odors (e.g, wood smoke).  Any ideas on how to clean one of
these things?

I just had a 13,500 BTU air conditioner installed in my pop-up and I'm
wondering how I can check it's performance. It doesn't seem to be
cooling as well as it should and I'm curious if there is a place in the
popup (or at the vent) that I should take a measurement and what

We have a Coleman Santa Fe which we purchase new in 1999.   We're about to
have to get our 4th (FOURTH!!) converter.  The first lasted a couple of
years, then died.  The second lasted about 2 or 3 years then died.  The last
one, a "World Friendship Company, LDT" one was installed ...

My RV has a 2 piece aluminum roof that is showing it's age.
I have to do something about it this year, as it's starting to get
pinholes.
I'm leaning towards some kind of roll-on product.
