Hello ladies and gentlemen. I’m looking for an RV with a four door cab to have my disabled child ride in the cab with my wife and I. I can’t put her on a couch or table dinette because that is a no go for our particular situation. We want to travel but besides the Host brand from decades ago I can’t find a safe rig. What do other families do that have younger kids? Thanks.

I've got that strange electrical whine that changes pitch depending on how many lights are on in the RV. With enough load it almost disappears. What part is doing the humming and what do I need to replace exactly? It's a 15 year old 30a system.

Feel might silly because I cannot figure this one out..

Please see attached poorly drawn flow chart to understand my confusion..

Water from main source thru to bib/spigot is solid good pressure.

Good flow pressure at water heater hot side

No pressure no flow from T off Cold to sink or toilet.

But do have low pressure and low flow straight thru cold/blue to shower.

Hot side red direct from heater is low flow low pressure as well but piping hot.

Confusion is that cold/blue pex to shower doesn't bypass sink/toilet but flows through same line serially, hitting sink, toilet and shower in succession. Why no pressure / No flow to sink and toilet but low pressure to shower on cold side?? Why low pressure from hot side?

Checked for leaks cannot find evidence of leak anywhere along Pex, electric water heater on and working as water is piping hot as pulled thru hot side to shower and sink but no flow at sink, low flow at shower.. 😵😵‍💫

We still owe about 6k on our 2005 kz durango 5th wheel, that we don't use anymore. Just wanting out of the loan basicly. Unfortunately it has a good leak in the roof and has rotted away a good section of wood on the roof. If I were to contact insurance, would they consider this a total loss? I would say the rotted wood is about 1.5 feet x 2 feet. Roof overall is in rough shape. As well as some de lamination on one of the sides.

Hi all! Wondering what's the best course of action to address the fiberglass on our 5th wheel after discovering this crack today. Looks like it popped away from the trim and were afraid to push it back in and possibly making things worse.

It's been raining all day today here in PA, so as soon as we saw the exposed seam, we siliconed and gorilla taped to prevent any further water exposure but obviously this is not a permanent fix. We're new to FT living so appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you all in advance!

I have limited space. And I’m looking for the best coffee method. Maybe pour over, French press, drip. I don’t know, but I haven’t found the one that gives me the best coffee with minimal space.

It seems like a lot of toy haulers have about a 4,500lb cargo capacity. I would like to know if there are any toy haulers that would have much higher capacities.

Anyone know of any super high capacity toy haulers or ways to increase their capacity?

I’m having trouble with my hose busting , it’s great quality and spent lots of money on it. I’ve gone through numerous hoses this past year and i decided to get a water pressure regulator and it happened again recently with this new hose in the span of a couple weeks. My friend said I should be turning the hose off after I use it every day, but I guess my question is do people who live in an RV full time do this? It seems a bit tedious to do every day and I didn’t know if this was something people actually did or if there was something else I could do.

Just got a new to me 2019 Entegra odyssey. Looking to upgrade to a bigger screen with Apple carplay and Android auto. TIA

I know everyone says it's subjective, and biased. I don't have a tow vehicle, and will likely buy a used f450 or similar offering from dodge. I just have no clue where to start looking or what brands to look at. My wife and I are selling the house and moving into an rv to both save money and make the traveling I do for work easier. No kids, but 2 dogs.

What we know we want

Pre covid model

Price under 80k

Main issues should not be structural, I can fix most other things myself, I know they're all going to have issues, but id prefer the issues to be things I can deal with on my own since we're likely not going to have a warranty

Either a bunk house, second bedroom, front/rear living room or a toy hauler (wife needs an office)

Washer and dryer hook ups

Beyond that we're not super picky. Just wondering what we should be looking at. Grand designs, vanLeigh, drv, river stone, and heartland cyclone have all been recommended. Is there anything else we should look at? Anything we should definitely avoid?

Been on RV Trader for 7 months now. It's in like new condition, no miles since delivery, barely used, and within selling price point comparing to others. Any suggestions?

I moved into my fifth wheel january 2nd. Last week we got snow for the first time in YEARS where I live, and it of course made a leak, large enough to soak the top of my bed one side. I don't even know what to do about that. Besides that, I just feel massively unsafe all the time. I have anxiety generally, but this is making it 10x worse. If I'm not worried about propane leaks, I'm worried about fires, or (now) mold issues or falling of my leveling blocks (why!?!?). My cats keep me up all night playing chase with each other and I feel every single movement they make. My electrical panel is making a terrible humming noise when my converter is under any kind of load (someone is coming to look at that in the next couple weeks).

I just feel like I made a poor choice. I moved into the camper to save money. I am very fortunate that I have a free place to park with hookups. My loan will be paid off in November. I wanted to travel once my loan is paid off, but I am not sure I am cut out for it anymore and now I feel stuck with all of these wrong decisions.

I guess I would like to know if anyone else had a hard time adjusting to living in their RV?? Or if anyone has any advice on the other things I have listed it would be appreciated too.

My partner and I have decided to see the country before we look at a new place to live. We are selling most of our stuff, (including cars), putting the rest in a POD, and planning on living in an RV for 6+ months. We will be driving A LOT. We want to drive up to Alaska and visit pretty much every major national park in the U.S. We live on the west coast and will end up on the east coast to find a new place to live. It will just be the two of us and our two dogs. We want to be comfortable but also want something that won’t be a difficult to drive and park.

I’ve reached a point of analysis paralysis figuring out what kind of RV to get. I would love as much guidance as possible figuring out what RV style to get. I’m open to the idea of buying a truck and getting a fifth wheel. We will most likely be buying used.

Questions I would love guidance on is: What class? Diesel or gas? Size? Most reliable brands?

Please give me as much info as you can! Thank you!!!

Putting together my spring to-do list.

Would really like to find a good method for roof top solar that offers me a way to disconnect the panels from roof but leave the brackets intact. I was thinking of building something but wanted input from those who might already utilize such a system.

Thanks!

Hi! Reaching out to fellow RVers in hopes of some advice. We are trying to install this new water pump (Seaflo) because our original FloJet started to fail. We are running into a problem where the intake valve connect for the pump is just barely too short to connect to the water line for our fresh water tank. In this picture, we tried to move it to connect to the intake but then it’s short on the out-take and we don’t want to put too much strain on the pipes themselves. Does anyone have any advice on how we can solve this? Like a connector piece or is this pump just not gonna work for this setup?

I own an rv park in Texas and my 69 year old aunt lives in her rv at the park. She has had diarrhea since Sept. She’s very dizzy from low blood pressure so then she falls. She has vivid hallucinations. She has no other health problems. The 15+ hospital visits in the past 5-6 months have not helped because all her tests come back normal. When she gets really bad, we go BACK to er and they give her iv and get her blood pressure back to normal and send her home. Within 2 days, she’s back to crazy and sick. Could something in the rv cause these life threatening conditions? I welcome any suggestions or thoughts on our dilemma.

Family of 5 thinking about selling our gap use to buy a destination trailer to live in permanently. Looking to get out of debit and lower monthly costs. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey everyone! Im looking into getting a camper and doing some extended roadtrips to different locations for weeks at a time.

I have a wfh job and regularly use 3 monitors. I’m sure there are people similar to me and would love to see your wfh setups in your rig. I am one person that will be traveling with a dog and that is it. My tow rig is a 2021 5.7l Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland WITH the tow package. Rated at 8,000 lbs but I would obviously prefer to be below that with plenty of wiggle room. I don’t have anything specific in mind yet. I am just seeing how some of y’all have your setups! Thanks!

Hi I have been reading all the recommendations on the subject and it has just confused me. I will be camping and want to still access the internet for streaming, etc. I'm seeing equipment like TP-Link AC750 as being a good investment and it seems Verizon is mentioned more than any other carrier. I'm seeing items being called routers but others are 'range extenders'.

Could someone just tell me exactly what I need and how to do it? I'm going to get a Verizon phone since they seem to be the most recommended for coverage it seems if that matters.

Thanks a lot for any help.
