Until you have a split hydraulic line (at a fitting) on the Thursday night before Memorial day weekend in the middle of Needles, CA. when the temperature was nearing 100⁰F. It decided to let go when the levelers were part way extended, I had just taken it off the truck and was lowering it to...

So we took off for our first long trip yesterday, made it to Winnemucca to find that the front corrugated cover had come partway off. Do to the sloppy workmanship, quite a few wires, hoses and cables were dragging on the ground damaging several of them. We were camping here for the night anyway...

We’ve used these blocks ever since we got our trailer (May 2019) and have to say we are pleased with them. First, they come six to a package and are engineered to fit the round plates of the Lippert hydraulic lift system. I’m sure they fit others but this is what I have and can talk about. They...

We camp a lot. On hot days, cooking indoors can be stifling, so I wanted to build a table to attach to the the rear 4” bumper/storage bar. Surprisingly, quite a bit of the material came from Lowe’s, the expanded metal and square stock came from a metal parts store. I did the cutting, welding and...

We got our trailer the end of May and started installing the solar in mid June. The resort we belong to has sites that have hook ups as well as non. They also don’t mind if you use some power tools if your neighbors don’t mind. We were there during the week and had the resort to ourselves. We...

So, we have a Cane Corso and we split the fridge. She gets the freezer (she eats raw) and we get the refrigerator (we’re plant based). It works really we for us! Her food.

So, after reading numerous threads here about insulating around the top of the fridge to help keep it cool during hot days, I decided to take a look at mine. My fridge is marketed by Dometic and the number is of the RM 1350 group. I took a peek in the bottom vent cover and was surprised (?) that...

I took out the battery and the extra battery box out of the front compartment. I replaced the backfed #6 wire with #2 from my new battery bank to run the hydraulics and other things. It made a much neater front area with room for more storage. Before. After.

So, I started early today, set on replacing that POS bathroom fan. I honestly have no idea where Heartland finds some of the gear that they insist on being top notch equipment. I have a theory that the board members, who want to line their pockets with every cent they can have a contest to see...

I was really surprised to actually find and use the 1 1/2" conduit from the roof to the basement on our 32 RS. Of course, it was cut in crooked but I was able it square it away. I also noticed that the OEM #6 wire used in the trailer has a smaller diameter than the #8 welding wire I’m using...

We had the traveler for about two minutes before we decided the stairway has got to go. There are a couple of issues with the stairway: first, the bottom step should be closer than 18" from the ground. If I had wanted to do step aerobics, I would have bought a Reebok multi step. Second, I’m 6’5"...

We might be soon owners of an Bighorn traveler 32RS. We saw one yesterday on our way back from a very windy trip in our teardrop. Right now, we have a choice of staying outside in the wind or going to bed. We’re getting too old to spend all that time outdoors getting wind chaff. Anyway, Hi!
