We have a 2015 model and while getting a hand wax done this morning this Crack was found in the front cap under the clear coat. I called my dealer and he asked if it was near the center, which it is. He has already seen another one not long ago. Check your front caps people, and get that...

The bedroom AC does not seem to be blowing very hard at all in our new 3800FL. The living room AC blows cold and great, especially when we flip the switch for it to only blow in the living room. I am a shift worker and need the bedroom to stay cool while I am sleeping. I know that the duct work...

How many HAM's do we have on here that regularly operate from the RV? I will be installing HF/VHF/UHF in my RV soon. I am looking to have two vertical antennas that will attach on the roof somewhere that can be lowered and secured for travel. Anyone have any pics of their installs? Mark, K5EXX

I will be purchasing some flexible solar panels to go on top of my Big Country soon, and will also be needing a charge controller. I know I will be getting a MPPT charge controller from either Outback or Morningstar. For the people that use these on a daily basis, is it just a preference on...

Saw this online and thought it was pretty neat. A 1922 RV. Those people were way ahead of their time!

I realize that finding a reputable and honest dealer is difficult. We have been searching for our Heartland model and have narrowed it down to a couple, but every dealer that we have researched seems to have super crappy reviews for customer service and service after the sale. We live in the...

I was looking for an app that shows me propane that may be in my area, and the price. Found this: http://propanefinderapp.com/ That one shows the price, location, and much more. There is also one for Uhaul that shows all the propane locations near you. It is also on the Play store or app...

So being new to the RV world, I am trying to work a budget for full time living. I have a couple of questions. 1. What does it cost these days (I am in SE Texas) to fill a single 30lb Propane cylinder? 2. What is a realistic number that I need to look at for full time RV living when it comes...

Here are some links I found that will help explain the basics about charge controllers. It's always good to have a working knowledge of the processes and equipment that you will be working with. Thought it may be good to have the links handy. A charge controller, charge regulator or battery...

For those that wanted to know, this may come in handy. http://www.texas-on-line.com/gun.html

While looking at RV's to decide which one to get, we looked at Grand Design Solitude. I noticed an extra port on the newer model, on the front near where the generator goes. It was a solar port, pre-wired. You can buy a proprietary cord with the correct plug on it, and attach it to solar panels...

We have looked at so many fivers I am tired of looking! Our original plan was to go with a BigHorn. Then the wife saw a Crossroads Rushmore Franklin. We both loved the floor plan, but over on their forum I have seen numerous complaints about craftsmanship, and spotty work and customer service...

Anyone on here use the Bully Dog Triple Dog GT Diesel tuner? I am thinking of getting one for my Ford F-350 Super Duty. Wanting to use it for the towing and economy. http://www.bullydog.com/product.php?ID=2 TxPatriot

The wife and I will be going full time in June of this year. We have lived in Texas all our lives, so everything we have ever owned or done has been here. We plan on keeping Texas as our domicile once we switch to full timers. I still work a full time job here, but we plan on traveling on my...

Trying to narrow down to one air bag choice for my TV. We have a 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty Dually and are planning on pulling a minimum of a 38' fifth wheel. We are also still narrowing down which hitch we will get. These are the two systems/manufacturers that I have narrowed it down to. We...

After reading through threads on the forum, I have narrowed my choices to a couple. As far as ease of use, quality, customer service, ride, etc. which one would you go with? I have a 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty Dually, and will have an air ride system. 1. Mor Ryde 2. 5th Airborne

Trying to narrow my choices by manufacturer on which hitch to get. I have a 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty Dually with an 8ft bed, and do not plan on getting a slider. I am planning on having either the Firestone Ride Rite or Airlift airbag system installed as well. We are still deciding on which...

The wife and I are new to the fifth wheel lifestyle. We will be getting our first one soon, and going full time in it. I have already purchased our TV, which is a 2009 Ford F-350 6.4 diesel dually. Looking through this part of the site there are so many options! It can be quite confusing at...

We are about to purchase our first RV, a Bighorn 3875FB. We have to get rid of our current Suburban and would like to get an affordable older model vehicle to tow this fifth wheel. Apparently the Diesel debate is fierce, I have had all kinds of advice! LOL....I have never been a diesel guy, but...

Hello, my name is Mark and my wife and I are about to purchase the 3875FB model. We will be full time in it starting in June. I was wanting to put solar on it, and was wondering if anyone here has done this on theirs. If you have done it on another model that's fine. I am interested in knowing...
