Just a side note... since the keypad only locks/unlocks the deadbolt, you CAN lock yourself out. If you have the handle lock engaged on the inside of the door as you leave... and close the door behind you, thinking you'll lock/unlock with the keypad, you may be out of luck. Or... if your...

Seriously? Can't get it wet?? That wouldn't do us any good here in Seattle, then. We have a Little Giant. No need to lean it against the rig to use it, either.

You must be a true musician to not ditch the upright for a plain ol' keyboard. :) (I play sax in a big band, I'd love to camp next to you and be able to hear you play!) In our Elkridge, we had the 'freestanding dinette' option. We often took out the table and chairs to put in other furniture...

We have the 5th wheel version of the rear kitchen. Not sure if you'll get more 'bounce' in the back end with a TT or not. We never had an issue with anything bouncing off the counters - but we don't leave much on there, either. We put down the spongey shelf liner underneath things that...

Since we use 2 carry-out Honda EU2000's (linked for 4kW total)... we had the transfer switch and sub-panel installed on the house, and when the power goes out we carry the Honda's out to the outside plug, fire them up, then hit the switches to isolate grid power and pull from the generators. We...

We're looking at changing/upgrading units... so... this is an issue we're looking into... what I've found out: 1. there's a move to go to residential fridges to remove the risk of propane fires; apparently the propane fridges are a higher cause of trailer fires than any other source? 2...

Specs shown here: http://www.rvusa.com/rv-guide/2016-heartland-rv-elkridge-fifth-wheel-floorplan-extreme-light-e299-tr25386 Indicate only one black tank, so the two toilets must feed into the same one. They show two grays - one for kitchen (and 2nd bath sink?), one for main bath, which is...

We bought the portable table-top model from camping world a few years ago. I love it! Dave built a table for it to sit on, so it doesn't take any existing counter top or storage space, and if we don't need it for a short trip, we leave it at home. Best of both worlds. :) The picture shows...

We installed ours - or.. Dave did.. :) We did need a second person to help (with more arm strength than I have for the big slide). Otherwise, it went pretty easily, if I recall correctly... Don't remember looking for things in the walls. The location for the hardware was pretty tight - not a...

Depends on what you do... we run on a Honda eu2000 (2kW) easily... no microwave or A/C... just lights, furnace fan, TV, battery re-charge. The microwave is under 1000W, so we could probably use it, but the stove works well for us. If you need to run an A/C, pretty sure you'll need at least...

Going from dual eu2000 (i.e. 4k of power) to a single 3k generator? you'd be able to do less at the same time.... Am I missing the question?

WA and OR state parks show the pad size when you make reservations, so you can figure if you'll fit or not. They have a number of parks where 40' rigs will fit fine. We have the 2011 34' Elkridge, and originally used our 1995 F250 gas truck to haul it around... as it was rated for it (dealer...

This happened to us with our 2008 F350. After lots of head scratching (and searches on the Ford Truck Forum), we started to notice that, if it's raining out, no problems. If it's dry... wire fault on trailer and/or trailer disconnected. We never actually lost braking ability, though, that we...

We also have a BakFlip. Love it.

This was new to me... but it makes sense - don't leave the beak-away switch unplugged. Things can over-heat and get ugly, fast. -T http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1461578-dont-leave-the-break-away-switch-unplugged.html
