    What "Newbie" topics would you like to see covered here?

    One of the things that came up in the survey was that our "Newbie" population wanted some help and instruction on topics. I am willing to put some together, and to find some online to host here too. Let me know what you'd like as part of this thread. Please don't reply with solutions at this time, let's work on putting that together as part of this forum. So here's what I'm looking for:

    I'd like to know how to winterize and de-winterize my camper.

    Not:

    I don't know how to do anything, and my dealer was worthless.

    Be specific.

    We can find good resources on line, and start building a library.
    Thanks

    Edit: I’m not sure if this is what you were looking for. I see you said please do not respond..., wasn’t sure what you meant.

    maybe some one could post a blog about pulling a trailer. I have had many folks admire my wife when she pulls my rig into the camp site. People have asked me how to backup, and what I do to make right hand turns into narrow streets. I know drivers ed does not go the limit on pulling trailers, long or short.

    How about a list of roads that are in such poor condition that they should be avoided if at all possible.
    I will start the list with: I-10 between I-12 in Louisiana and the Texas state line. It is rougher than a corn cob.

    New buyer's guide

    What are some things to have written into the buyer's agreement? Priority service (what does that mean) for 90 days shakedown? Problem resolution over first 72 hours?

    We have had our 2800bh for 3 weeks and are looking to do dry camping in between park stops. We want to know how to run a fan during the night... what should we do?
