    Visible Wireless

    I signed up a few weeks ago while on a 3 week camping trip. My old provider only had limited hot spot data and after a week I’d run out. With Visible I have unlimited hot spot data. I usually have a good signal (only used it on the east coast). I can stream YouTube videos with occasional...

    Fresh water leak

    We are the second owners of a 2022, 22MLE. Overall, we've been happy with the trailer with only minor issues that I could track down and fix. Last fall while camping for a few days I noticed a small area of dampness on the asphalt under the trailer. Water slowly dripped through a small hole in...

    Really?

    They charge $225/hr labor and I guess at that rate the grease is free. What irked me is all the junk they want to upsell me plus looking to repack bearings I repacked 2 months ago and had 2,400 miles on them. I didn’t ask how much they wanted to wash my roof but I’m sure they would have found...

    Really?

    I took my RV in for a state inspection this week. I made the mistake of taking it to the dealer I bought it from. I wasn’t expecting the pressure to upgrade stuff and do miscellaneous work I can do but I was floored, shocked, an nearly went into anaphylactic shock when they offered to repack the...

    Replacing 4 Tires

    Tire change option Assuming you have a spare tire, remove both wheel’s from one side, install the spare and for the time it takes to get the new tires installed your rig will be fine. Then, as you suggested, rinse and repeat on the other side.

    Furrion camera issues and possible replacement

    We have the Amtiflo, too. We’ve been using it for about 10 months now and the only issue so far was a blown fuse (in the TV) that caused our running lights to stop working. I’m not sure what caused the fuse to blow but it’s working again (in the driveway) and we’re taking a 300 mile trip...

    No power to the trailer running lights.

    I found the problem. tfgd21bhe's suggestion made me double check whether the problem was with the truck not supplying power or the trailer losing it somehow. I got out a multimeter and found a pinout online for trailer plugs and sockets (mirror images of each other). Testing the socket on the...

    No power to the trailer running lights.

    So you're saying there's a problem with the wiring of the trailer's umbilical? This is sounding like more fun than I was planning on.... I went back out and followed the umbilical cable to the trailer and there were 2 fuses, both good based on a visual inspection. I've got brake lights and turn...

    No power to the trailer running lights.

    I'm scratching my head on what should be a simple problem. On the way home from our last trip the back-up camera quit working. I put it on late last summer and we've had no issues. The error message says "No Signal". After a few minutes of trouble shooting I found the problem but not the cause...

    Home prepped food for your dogs

    Been Feeding Raw for 6 Years We started feeding raw in 2018. Our Sheltie is now 12. In 2018, we were in Mexico for 3 months, so I did gentle cooked. Here in the US, we do raw for dinner. For this trip I prepared 18 dinners. Main meat is beef or turkey, organ meat beef liver and pork lung...

    Lug Nut Removal?

    I’ve been prepping our 2022 22MLE for our first trip (leaving 5/5 for 2-1/2 weeks). Everything was going great with dewinterizing and prepping the trailer until I replaced all 4 tires. On the 4th tire one of the lug nuts started to spin but the nut wasn’t coming off. It turns out the aluminum...

    Issue getting to the bearings to repack them

    Thank you all. A few gentle taps with a dead blow mallet removed that protective cap. The rest of the process went smoothly. And FWIW, I replaced all 4 rear seals. I know some people said it was a good idea but those suckers are pressed on and I wouldn’t even consider reusing one after removing...

    Issue getting to the bearings to repack them

    I’m sure I’m not the first person to encounter this issue and hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. We have a 2022, 22MLE. I bought it last July and we put about 2,000 miles on it around Virginia. I know nothing about the maintenance before I bought it. I thought repacking...

    driving apps

    I’ve experienced similar things. It had me exit an interstate right into a military base only to suggest a u-turn across 4 lanes of traffic to get back on the intestate. Some routing choices given are poor at best when good routes are available. I liked that I could use the map on my truck’s...

    driving apps

    I’ve had significant issues with Trip Wizard too. After 5 trips I no longer trust it. It has exited me on an interstate only to immediately make me do a u-turn to return to the route I was on (really awkward u-turn on a busy 4 lane highway. It also has set me up for a right turn when I was...

    2024 22MLE first shakedown trip rants and raves

    I don’t see the “grenade” in your comment. I think you’re correct as long as you don’t mind buying tires more often than necessary. Physics will tell you that there’s a relationship between the load on the tire and inflation. I believe that is what the Goodyear chart of tire pressure vs weight...

    2024 22MLE first shakedown trip rants and raves

    We love our 2022 MLE. I agree the control panel is in an odd location but there’s so much storage we have not missed not having that cabinet. Unlike you, I hated the mattress so the wife got a memory foam topper. She loves it, I think it’s an improvement but not great. As for tire pressure, we...

    Actual Grey Tank Capacity

    I am the second owner of a 2022 MLE. We got it in August and have made 3 trips in it so far and have 2 more planned this year. We’ve had the typical sensor errors that are so common and I’m reasonably comfortable without them. However, I got the black tank reading correctly (geo method and...

    blinds won't stay down

    More kudos for the Irvine Shade and Door company. The 48" shade by our dining room table came down and wouldn't go back up. I took the shade out and after watching the videos above, scratched my head. There were no knobs on the ends of the blinds but there were Phillips head screws on each end...

    Any birders out there?

    You might try putting out oranges sliced in half to attract the Baltimore Orioles. There are feeders made specifically for this. I'd do it in the spring when they're migrating north. Some oriole feeders also have a small dish for grape jelly which they're supposed to like. I've had limited...

    Thanks. I figured there had to be a solution until it was repaired but if it’s in the owners manual, I couldn’t find it.

    22MLE Power tongue jack question.

    The wife and I are new owners of a 2022, 22MLE. In the event the power tongue jack fails, is there a way to manually raise or lower the jack?

    Felicitations from Virginia

    A few weeks ago the Wife and I became owners of a gently used 2022 22MLE. On August 1 we made our first trip to Machicomoco State Park (near Glaucester, VA). It was just 74 miles from home and about 90 minutes travel time. I think the perfect distance for a first trip. Thanks to the advice I got...
