I learned something new here today. I learned there's such a thing as a
full time RVer. This shocks and appalls me greatly. It's bad enough that
people buy RVs and use them for vacationing but I guess I can see some
little appeal to that mode of travel for vacations. If only they'd ...

Jayco 1206 that is about 1700 lbs I figure with a full load in the van
and very little in the camper.

While snooping around inside some cabinetry looking for a place to store a
50 ft. power cord, I noticed that there was a 110V wire attached to the
water heater.  As far as I know, there is no element in the heater and
obviously no way to operate it.  It is strictly propane.  The ...

Boy oh boy, another ignorant or bully RVer tried to run me down today
while I was cycling.
Boy oh boy - the RV problem is why we need to adopt the graduated
licensing program that was proposed earlier.then the RV folks (and

Did you have some reservation about fulltiming being right for you
before you entered into it ?   Did you have a pretty good idea you were
going to be happy doing it based on some extended RV trips ?  Did you
sell your primary residence , cars, etc ... or, do u have still have a

How difficult is it to install a roof A/C unit? Mine has gone out on my 25'
5th wheel. After researcing the papers on my used Jayco I cannot determine
what size it is. Would anyone have an idea what size BTU unit a 25' would
have been equipped with?

Im seriously considering junking the highly unreliable Dometic 3-way i
have , in favor of a conventional 4.3 cu.ft. 115 v. (only) fridge and
running it off of an inverter while travelling and shore power when
camping.   But, im wondering how conventional fridges stand up to the

It's that time of the year when we pull out our campers and get them
ready for some spring camping. I've been pulling my camper with a Ford
F-250 and have had no problems. I have recently sold the Ford and plan
to use my Jeep Wrangler as the tow vehicle. For those who are not

weighs about 1000 pounds. The previous owner changed the usual 3 jack
configuration to 4 which kind of makes it more stable. I usually have
disconnected the camper from the truck about 4 or 5 weeks every year

12VDC-capability is preferred but not a requirement.  Any ideas?
Outside the automotive world, the only small one I've seen (but not used) was
a cheap generic from "Big Lots".  My friend bought a couple or three of these
$30 specials and installed one for his mom.  I suspect that ...
