    Laminate under carpet

    FYI, We had to tear out the carpet in the rear bunk-room of our Gateway 3800 RLB and was pleased to find the laminate continued all the way through the camper. Apparently they lay the laminate, then the carpet, and then build the walls on top of it all. The slides however are straight carpet as...

    Landing/stairs built upto camper

    What is the best way to build exterior stairs so that they butt up to the camper safely while still being able to pull the camper in and out? Was thinking of maybe putting the stairs on rollers/wheels with locks to allow the stairs to be moved back and forth.

    Awning support

    I know that awnings should be retracted during high winds and rain. Unfortunately I am away from my RV for days at a time and with RV's as tall as they are now, it is very difficult for my wife to pull the awning in if I am not home. Today is a perfect example as I am sitting at work and a fast...

    In line regulator leaking... is it necessary?

    I just purchased my first 5th wheel, a 2017 Gateway 3800 RLB. I bought it "used" and for that I get to tinker with all the things that I'm finding wrong. The dealership all of a sudden doesn't want to return my calls as quickly... go figure. I have two tanks, one on each side of the camper, and...

    Permanently connected sewer hose w/ storage box

    I have seen the waste master sewer management system that advertises a storage box that allows your sewer hose to remain permanently attached while being stored. I love this idea but apparently they have stopped manufacturing the boxes. The hose still looks like a great hose and is well built...

    Do you keep your batteries hooked up?

    We are full-timing it on a purchased RV lot that has full 50 amp hookups. I was wanting to know if you typically keep your batteries hooked up while on 50 amp service or do you DC them and save them? The guy at the dealership said we have to check the water levels in the batteries to keep them...

    Awning not sealed against camper

    We just purchased our 2017 Gateway 3800 RLB used and got it set up the other day. It rained shortly after and my wife noticed that the main awning had a spot where it appears that it is not sealed against the camper, allowing water to leak through and down on top of our forward storage door...
