Amazon. We’ve bought a few things from Camping World, but like the others said, Amazon is hard to beat price-wise
::In, as the others said. No reason to expose your slide roofs and seals to the elements all winter long.
::The only way to know for sure is to read your owner’s manual. Every camper is different. I would guess with most camper’s you will want to level then extend your slides. BUT, the Entegra motorhome, for example, has you release the air from the air bag suspension, then extend your slides, THEN level your RV.
I’m sure most answers in that FB group were people just telling you how they do it for their model. But nobody can answer that with certainty for YOUR RV without knowing your model.
September 23, 2024 at 2:38 pm in reply to: What do you prepare ahead of time for camping meals? #41859::We brown a ton of hamburger and put it in ziplock bags and freeze it. Then use it for all kinds of stuff like tacos, sloppy joes, spaghetti, and so on.
::Has the trailer had any water damage?
What’s the condition of the roof? Has it ever been repaired?
Are there any electrical issues?
And don’t take their word for it. Check for these things. I’ve seen to many roof issues, that lead to leaks, that lead to expensive water damage and mold issues.
::I’ve used the Camco and the valterra. Both very similar and priced around $50. The valterra got a crack in it, so I replaced it with the Camco about 5 years ago. No issues since.
::We have a Splendide set and love it. Got the washer and dryer as a set at Camping world. A residential set should work assuming it will fit and you have a compatible power supply. You’ll probably want a 120v power dryer, unless you have a 50a RV.
::Interesting idea. But where do you store and setup these jugs for use? We already dont have a lot of space.
::Last time I use Google maps it had us take a detour to avoid traffic and took us down a narrow dirt road with trees scraping our roof (we eventually just had to turn around). I’ve also used apps like RV Trip Wizard, which are great but I didnt feel they were as up-to-date as they should be. Have since used a Garmin and have had zero issues.
::I use Chemical Guys products pretty much exclusively for all my vehicles. They have a bug and tar remover that I use whenever I come back from traveling. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-CWS_104_16-Heavy-Shampoo/dp/B003Y9N2E0
::All valid benefits above. Keep in mind, it takes some due diligence to find good cheap campgrounds, and the longer you stay somewhere usually the cheaper it is, which for some the whole point of living in an RV is to travel and not stay in one spot.
It’s not for everybody, thats for sure, but with a bit of planning the benefits outweigh the cons in my experience.
::I’d also make sure its properly ventilated. And I know you said its been cooling overnight but I’d give it a full 24 hours before troubleshooting
::The camping world near me starts at $6.99 per foot to wash your RV for you. It could get pretty pricey though if you have a large RV or start upgrading the wash package.
::Use a 15A male to 30A female adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/Leisure-Cords-Generator-Electrical-Converter/dp/B07QY57SNH/ref=sr_1_5
Just don’t overload it by drawing too much power at once. I believe its only 1800 watts you can run through a 15a outlet. So, depending on the power draw of your appliances, running the fridge and AC at the same time, for example, might overload it.
