    Converting T8/T12 u bend flouresant bulbs to LED u bend bulbs

    T12 sockets are what is known as non-shunted. T8 sockets are shunted. What this means , simplified, is a T12 socket has two wires, blue, red or yellow, going to it. A T8 socket only has 1 wire, same colors. If the led lamp only runs on 120 volts, you have to have T12 sockets. Only one end...

    Would you?

    I have an 07 Tahoe and a 32' overall long tt and had to tow with it one time. That won't happen again unless it's an emergency again. That length needs at the least a 250, 2500 to feel comfortable. A crew cab long wheel base it what I have and I will never go smaller than that. Sent from my...

    F-150 MaxTow and new NT 27RBDS

    I use to tow our Wilderness 2775 rb , pretty much the same length as yours, with a 2007 F150. Same problem with sway. I added a second sway control and went to light truck tires and that helped alot. Made the sway pretty much go away. I switched to a 2016 f250 but still use the sway control on...

    Cold Weather Camping

    The under belly is enclosed and heated with a furnace duct. I do have a heat gun that will be going with us. So far thanks to everyone for the responses. I'm starting to formulate a plan as to what I want to do. I want to cover all the bases just in case. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Cold Weather Camping

    I'm looking for some suggestions. We are going to be camping in Pigeon Forge in December over Christmas this year. I would like to hear what others do about water hookup during cold weather. I have been looking at the heated water hoses available and haven't seen many good reviews. Just...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Actually used Minwax spray stain and polly for the color and used satin polly over that once it dried. Everything was stapled into place from the factory. I used screws this time. I did make sure the lower edge of the wood was sealed just in case water gets down there. Between the door not...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    First I want to say happy veterans day to all of my fellow veterans on this forum. Now to the post. We had to leave the Wilderness with CW shortly after we purchased it for some warranty work and we got some water damage due to the outside kitchen door not closing correctly. It finally got to...

    Trailer brake control

    Haven't tried the break away switch. I do remember towing with our Tahoe and it stopped just fine, just like the F150. I just feel like it has something to do with the truck and not the trailer. Just wondering if anyone else had an issue like this. The Wilderness only weighs 7000lbs. Sent...

    Trailer brake control

    I have just noticed something that I would like some feedback on. I purchased a 2016 F250 in July. It has the built in brake control. We took a trip to Pigeon Forge in August and I set the controller on 5 thinking that should be enough. I noticed that it never really felt like the trailer...

    Shower Drain Fitting

    Mine did the same thing in our Wilderness. I couldn't find anything at Lowes since they pretty much just carry PVC, not ABS pipe. I got a hose clamp just large enough to fit around the broken fitting and tightened it up to close the split. Then I screwed it back on and finished tightened it a...

    Late Christmas Present... New Tow Rig

    Traded up from my 07 F150 to this. 2016 F250 with less than 14500 miles. Gas not diesel. My daily driver but we only pull about 7000lbs with the Wilderness. Now to just get the time to go do a little camping. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your camper today?

    We had enough of the faucets that came in the Wilderness so I picked these up at Lowes. First 2 pics are the old ones. The kitchen one never worked good from the start, really stiff to move and the spray head was messed up. New ones are great. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Things I Like About Rallies and Things I Don't

    My wife and I have just been to our 3rd rally. At our 1st, our chapter leader came by and introduced himself and brought a small welcome basket. We talked a little and he introduced us to a few of the other attendees. This was very appreciated as I see where one could feel out of place. We met...

    120 ac problems, tripping gfci at all camp sites

    Try unplugging it from the 120 volt outlet and running it on gas only. I believe it has to have 12 volts for the gas but not 120. If it runs on gas this will get you by until you can have someone check the outlet and the electric side of the fridge. Sent from my XT1093 using Tapatalk

    120 ac problems, tripping gfci at all camp sites

    Sounds like you have a problem with your fridge. Find where it's plugged in and check out the outlet. Make sure your power is off. You can use an ohm meter to check if you have a short to ground. Also check between ground to neutral on the fridge cord. If you get any voltage leaking between...

    You can get these connectors at an electrical supply house. They are already insulated but you should also put them in a junction box. Sent from my XT1093 using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Last year I added LED strip lights to the awning tube and on the side just below the awning. Ran the wiring to the outside kitchen and that meant I had to open the kitchen door to turn them on and off. So today I re routed the wires inside where the furnace is. Added an outlet by tapping into...

    EXTREAM FIRE HAZZARD! Gray foam insulation.

    Cost is the over riding factor here. I believe 3m makes a fire resistant spray foam just like the foam used in the camper but is orange in color. I have used it when wiring houses as it is an approved fire stop. But it is more expensive than great stuff foam. It would be great to see the...
