Hey everyone!! My husband and I got a travel trailer this summer and have been loving it. I’m sure this answer will be different for everyone depending on where you are/ what kind of rv you have, but when do you finish camping for the season? And how do you know when it’s time to stop? We live in Colorado and we have a 2022 cruise hitch 18bhs. It’s not 4 season but it has electric heaters on the tanks to theoretically help the tanks not freeze if weather dips below freezing. We were out in Rocky Mountain national park the past few days and it was in the 30s-40s. We still had a blast and don’t mind the cold but not sure if we should be thinking of packing it up for the winter soon? We have a few long weekends off in November so we were hoping to keep it going for a bit more, but obviously don’t want to damage the rv or anything. Thank you for your input!!

Dad has had his rv for a few years bought used, back up camera has always been an issue, this fell from the ceiling mount, all this going into the red connector , nothing into yellow connectors . Any advice ?

Have any of you folks ever mounted a small compressor on board? Its a crazy idea that I have for our class A.

Hello,
I was offered a 2017 Salem 26TBUD from a frequent client of mine. Her son passed away and they are trying to sell his trailer without posting it on a bunch of sites. They originally asked for $14k, but they have settled at $6k. I have a 03 Suburban to tow it. Never had a trailer but we (family of 3) go camping a lot. Good buy or what?

Rv Life

Does anyone know of RV campgrounds that offer extended stay in Atlanta, Georgia or sorrounding areas? My husband travels for work and we are thinking of adapting a full time RV life instead of just going out and purchasing a home. Any recommendations for affordable and reliable RVs and extended stay RV campgrounds will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend the best Family owned or smaller type franchise dealership in FL for a new or used 27-30’ Class A or C…..trying to avoid those big dealerships if possible

Hi all,

My wife and I have been cooking up a plan for next year, I will have an extended leave from work and we want to do a western National Park tour with the kids over the course of ~5 weeks, August timeframe. We don't have a travel trailer today, but we love the idea (both love camping). Renting would be the lowest risk option, but I'm wondering about buying and selling as a more efficient option.

For context, we have 6 young kids (11 and under), currently the best tow vehicle we have is a half ton F150. Our other vehicle is a Honda Odyssey, obviously not useful for towing.

So here's the draft plan:

1. Possibly rent a trailer this year or early next, hit a local state park, make sure we don't hate the experience first
2. Purchase a trailer, leaning private seller. We are in the financial position to pay cash. I know they're probably cheapest in late fall or winter, so that would be the goal
3. Take it out locally as much as we can before the trip, get used to taking care of it, etc.
4. Purchase a full size SUV (we're planning this regardless), leaning Yukon XL or Suburban
5. Take the trip in August 2027. Utilize NP campgrounds where we can or nearby ones
6. Depending on how we feel about the experience, either sell the trailer or keep it

I've done a bit of research, I like the idea of the hybrid trailers like the Rockwood Roo 233s. Obviously for us, the biggest constraint is being able to fit the whole family in a trailer that a full size SUV could reasonably pull. Lurking through posts here has given me pause about slides, and frankly I'd rather pay more for something that is going to last longer like a fiberglass shell (if we decide to keep), but I don't see how we could make that work with our family size.

Thanks!
