I can only say that we've towed through some very significant crosswinds and have never had any concerns about what the camper was doing behind us. But you need to remember that we don't stow any gear in the cabin of the camper (with the exception that we did store our garage fan there for...

Lucky you! I even lurked on eBay for quite a while hoping that a Kelty would show up, but to no avail. Yes, we have purchased the Kingcamp (we managed to get it for $85 from Amazon.com), but thus far we have only set it up inside of our friends' house. We will likely be setting it up this...

That's an interesting video, but I would guess that it is not particularly applicable to our campers. In the demo, the axle is near the center of the trailer, so the extra weight aft of the axle helps exaggerate the fishtailing. Most of the weight of our campers is centered over the axle, so I...

We were on the road when we bought our inverter, so we couldn't really shop around. We chose this 160w inverter at Best Buy because it appeared it would do the job without hogging too much space in the cockpit of our van. It is more power than we need, but it tucks in behind our brake lever...

I think Rotus8 is dead on. If you didn't want to use the cigarette plug for charging the battery, you might consider hardwiring to the battery with ring connectors (this assumes you have an AGM style battery with bolts that connect the positive and negative terminals). With such a connection...

Good point about the tailpipe. Thanks!

Has anyone purchased the new Camp Inn Mudflaps? It would be helpful to hear some user experiences.

My sister-in-law shared a link to some RV tips several months ago. Most were of zero interest, but one caught my eye. To be honest, I have no recollection what it was about, but it dawned on me that it could create a means for us to attached our existing tarp to the front of our ARB awning...

There is always lots of variability in usage. But generally, we can go about three days on a gallon of gas. But I suspect it would take more gas after that, as it doesn't seem as though the generator gives a really full charge to our AGM battery. If you have a vehicle that doesn't have...

Earlier comments stated that newer vehicles seem to be more efficient and as a result output lower voltage than older vehicles. If true, then charging would be better with an older vehicle (not sure where the cutoff is [and it probably varies by make and model], but certainly vehicles...

Even after having had our camper for nearly five years, we continue to learn things. When we were in the southwest and in Baja this winter we seemed to be having some battery related issues and it didn't occur to us how to diagnose those problems, and being in Mexico and not knowing a lot of...
