We purchased a new 2024 Solitude 310GK in April. This is our first RV with an ice maker. I have always winterized our RVs myself, but am not sure how to winterize the ice maker and the water line to it. How do you get antifreeze into the ice maker and the water line to it since you can't just...

Hello! Anyone else have any issues with their Goodyear Endurances? My new this spring 2024 Reflection had all 4 tires go bad in under 400 miles. The side walls started bubbling and was deemed by goodyear to be a manufacturing defect with lots of broken cords in each tire. Of course my dealer...

So, we are getting ready to retire and I am always concerned about safety. I was towing my 231RK with an f-150. It towed it just fine. We just bought an f-350 and it will easily tow the travel trailer. I am taking it in to get the hitch adjusted since the new truck is 2" taller at the hitch...

I have a Rear View Safety Wireless RV2 Rear Camera. I have had a terrible time trying to get a consistent wireless signal. I have extended the antenna on both camera and monitor and it still cuts out going down the road. I don't know if they make signal booster that would help. Beautiful picture...

Hello from SE Wisconsin. My wife and I are recent empty nesters and are looking to buy our first 5th wheel. We stated tent camping, what seems like a million years ago, moved to a pop-up and most recently owned a 2013 Sunnybrook Sunset Creek Sport 271BH. We really liked that trailer, but it...

Hi All, New to me 2022 GD and i have searched the manuals and can not figure out what this knob is for. Also how do you figure out how full the Auxiliary water tank is? Thanks in advance Richard

Howdy fellow travelers. Here goes, 2016 GD Reflection tt 313RLTS is the rig. Been around the country many times in all kind of weather and seasons, love it! Boiled down to this, what is the 12 volt auto reset breaker size in amperage that is inline with electric extend/retract switch and...

I'd like to have more battery capacity yet change as little as possible in my rig. We have a 2022 351MS-R Momentum. It has a residential refrigerator, one 300W solar panel, a 2000W inverter, a Jaboni MPPT, and a converter charger that is not lithium compatible. We have an Onan generator and...

Dealer replaced leaf springs that had been installed 7/2023. Flat in only 10 months with only 2500-3000 miles on them on flat highways. Trailer not overloaded at all. Never travel with full tanks. Took photos yesterday of the new leaf springs installed that already look flat or somewhat...

We are considering trading in our 2015 Momentum for 2025 Reflection 315RLTS. The build sheet lists an "Automatic leveling system". Will this system pick the trailer up so there is no need for boards or blocks?

It’s been awhile, but my wife and I are considering buying the 2500RL Imagine. Our question is about cabin access with the slide pulled in while traveling. Is the entire camper accessible by entering through just one door? We’re not sure if one can squeeze by the space between the fridge and...

I currently own a camper with a 50 amp service. My EMS, extension cord are 50 amp. I'm buying a new camper that uses 30 amp. With an adapter, can I use my 50 amp gear at the pedestal then downsize to the 30 amp cord that feeds the camper?

Me and my wife recently purchased a brand new 265bh. We have yet to take it out it’s only been in our driveway since it got home from the dealer. My issues started almost immediately. My thermostat would not turn on I called the dealer and they gave me a new thermostat. Installed the new...

I’m looking into a motor home, do they need to be inspected in Ontario every year

April 1 this year our 280 RK R had an electrical meltdown and fire just sitting in our site at our home. GD diagnosed it as the fault of the connection of the truck umbilical cord to the trailer at the j box on the pin box. I'm seriously skeptical of this as the cause as there is no power...

Fuses: Type 1 and / or MRBF Terminal i am upgrading my 17MKE from lead acid to lithium batteries (at least 600 AH), and don't know what to do about fuses near or on the positive battery terminal. I see a Type 1 30 amp fuse on my frame that the 8 AWG THHW 105 degree celcius rated positive wire...

I have a 2023 XLS 17MKE that when the light switch by the door is pressed it blows the fuse to the Compass Connect Panel. The fuse is marked bathroom lights which also are not working when the fuse is blown. Any help to track this down would be much appreciated. Thanks

We've been dry camping for a week now, every morning our system (2 6v AGM batteries) shows dropped to 9-10v, I run the generators for an hour or so in the morning then in the evening to get us through the day and night, is this drop normal as the only thing drawing from the batteries is the...

Over the years I've used all kind of stuff to wash my roof. lately I've been using a mixture of Dawn soap and Spick N Span. After reading several posts on using Simple Green I tried it today along with a little Spick N Span. The results were great. It did a good job of removing the dirt, and...

I'm seriously thinking about upgrading from load range E tires to load range G tires. The aluminum rims can take the 110 PSI. What are the negatives other than extra damage if I have a blowout. :mad:

Glad to be here and looking forward to great conversations and things to share with you all. My name is Joe and I’ve been RV’n for close to 15 years with my wife Deb. We’ve had 5’ers and one motorhome, with our latest being a new 2024 Grand Design Reflection 100, 28RL that I pull with my Chevy...
