There has been some recent posts regarding replacement locks for the underbelly and other doors that I can not seem to locate. Looking for suggestions as to where to look and what locks are best. THANKS

On my new 2010 Cyclone I was looping the break away brake safety wire around the handle lock and realease handle of the Reese 24K hitch. Worked fine for several trips, but got a surprise this weekend when pulling in to a parking lot. In the turn, the cable managed to catch itself under the hitch...

Here is something everyone worried about tire should read. It will be in two part because of size. The subject of tires is hard to escape these days. It seems every TV newscast or daily paper has a story on faulty automobile tires. As a result of negative...

I did a pull test while leaving a repair center yesterday and found that I didn't have any braking action on the 5er. It turned out that the breakaway switch was defective and instead of locking the brakes up when the plunger was pulled, it caused the lack of braking. A new breakaway switch and all...

I was traveling to Disney World 2 weeks ago and made it to Jacksonville form Columbia SC, I was refueling and happened to look down at my rear wheel.

Like many, for my convenience, I travel with my LP tanks (at least 1) in the open position in order to power my refer. For me, on long days (400-600 miles), my refer warms up to the 50s if I am not cooling it. Not good. Of course, the risk is a fire hazard should you have a propane leak and...

He is going to be o.k., but if this had happened at a campground instead of at work, I wonder how much worse the burns could have been. With camp fires and grills being such a large part...

♫♪ "Heading down that long highway........." :) Just wondering :confused:............ when we're on the road with a destination and a schedule, we like to "overnight" at "Wally World's" or if necessary "Flying J's". We don't pop the sliders or drop our "feet" or anything like that. We...

We will be traveling to Yuma, AZ in a month or so. We have never been to Mexico and would love to visit. We have our passports. We are just thinking to park on the US side and take a bus into Mexico? Is that what most people do? We want to only spend a few hours. Maybe, like so...

This story comes from Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The story... " An Indiana couple’s RV caught fire at a Barrow Street gas station Wednesday, burning for about a half hour as spilled fuel and a propane tank on the vehicle fed the flames. " The Link:...

I see now it will take many more documents to get your state drivers licence renewed. I was looking at the documents needed now in South Dakota and there is a new form for fulltimers. Before a licence renewal or a new state licence, one will have to research ahead to see what documents you will...

I know this is not camping related but I thought it was hilarious and had to share. Took this photo in mall parking lot if you notice the safety rope is tied to latter I guess that they didn't want latter to fall.
