Just wondering if anyone has ever installed (or seen for that matter) a gadget that you put next to the kitchen sink that gives you immediate very hot water (so you don't have to boil it on the stove or in the microwave)? I'm spoiled by my water cooler that has a cold and hot water spigot and wondering how I...

does the tripod help with stabilization? We have the automatic 6 way leveling system and are sitting still for a few months. We have had a rough winter so ground has frozen/thawed and now we have a bit of movement. We are going to move to a different lot in same park next week and are looking for suggestio...

Anyone using one of these models? My coach was supposed to be equipped with one of these but it was robbed before I got the coach. I was thinking of getting one through DYERS RV.

Am I crazy or is everyone else ? Recently we bought the Soda Stream device after hearing testimonials about how great the flavor is and how much people save by making their own soda. For the RV it seemed like a perfect fit because it takes up less space and weigh less than a six pack or 36 pack of soda cans. W...

We purchased ABS plastic jack pads (20,000 lb. weight capacity each) for typical usage, but we know we will need additional jack pads if we are on unlevel ground. I had Home Depot cut some 3/4 plywood into 12x12 pieces for me, that we can use to assist with leveling. However, I am not sure how many pie...

I looked through the search and didn't see anything recent about the Husky Hitch. Any thoughts on this hitch? It would be a Husky 16K for an empty 12K 5er.

it's less than a year old and this has been happening on and off this month. the manual says it's an electrical problem, we cannot get anyone to answer at whirlpool, in fact every time we call we are put on hold with muzak for ten or more minutes and then the line goes dead. awesome customer service, huh?!...

How many fulltimers here carry an extra waste disposal system, and how often do you use it? We have a 22 gallon barker tote that we acquired with our first rv that we kept at trade in for our current 5'er. The issue is where to carry it. All the storage areas where it would fit are used (full), the back of t...

SO I was looking into changing out my mousehole cord to a removable Inlet system and cord. When I was shopping around, I saw all the usual locking inlets but I stumbled across this website that had a completely different design. It was a straight style very similar to the TT-30 cords. FYI: 30A straight b...

We are just about a week away from getting our MS and are at "almost" crunch time on getting a washer and dryer to have the dealer install before we pick it up. In previous research, everyone has been helpful in suggesting Maytag, Bosch, and Whirlpool as substitutes for the Splendide units....

Does anyone know of a good source to purchase one of these? It's the 50amp hardwired unit c/w remote. Cheapest price I've found is $431.00 US

Hi all, I checked with my RV shop to find out what they would charge me to install this wired system. (7” REAR VIEW BACK-UP CAMERA SYSTEM REVERSE TRUCK SAFETY). They quoted me $1,040 labor to install ( at $130/hr.), that seems a little high. Anyone have any idea how many hours it might take to install? I ha...

Dust seems to be getting to us in South Texas, more so than in the past. With the wife's asthma getting worse, we need to do something to purify the air. Has anyone bought a purifier, and would you share your experience with us. Thank you in advance.......

We have a little over a month until we begin our new full timing lifestyle. One of the things we have been reading about is the use of portable electric heaters instead of propane. We will be spending much of our time in Canada where we will no doubt need the heat. What should we be looking for in a portabl...

Hi all, The class A I just bought does not have a camera, so I have been looking on the net and there are so many units that are off brand.

My almost-son-in-law in NC has had a couple really bad rental experiences and so he is looking at buying a 5th wheel to live in, parking it at a campground that has year-round residents, it's on a lake and very close to his work. I don't know what propane costs are there, or if the park he is thinking about a...

Does any one have a way to stabilize the little table that goes between the 2 front seats in a class A?

Any one have any great ideas to make it t...

Hi everyone! Been a while since I've been here. Just curious - has anyone ever used one of those Monkey Hooks in their MH wall.

Okay, I love my long hot showers. I think that will be the thing that I will hate to give up the most when we buy our 5'er. That said we have a tankless water system in our house and love it! Never run out of hot water, and no big water tank to worry with. It also uses less energy than the old tank one did. SOO...

We've noticed a lot of folks using those silver sunshades on their interior windows. Does anyone know if that helps keep the cold out? Do the windows stay dry, or does condensation build up? We're getting a lot of cold air coming off our bedroom window, right over our heads. It's supposed to be...

Went down to look at our new RV yesterday to measure VERY exciting . Need to decided on the Splendide 2100 which vents versus the 7100 that does not. Anyone have experience with both? What's the difference between venting and not venting practically? The price is roughly the same when you add the la...
