    Possible propane leak

    So we left Las Vegas, New Mexico on Tuesday morning, ran the furnace most of the night until  the propane ran out. Make our way to some blm land about 200 miles away, stopped on the way to swap the tank. Upon setting up the trailer and turning the gas back on, the wife noticed she could smell...

    Starting while cold

    2000 ford E150 5.4L V8 Just want to see if this might be nothing more than a vehicle aging, or if its about to have a serious problem. Yesterday for the first time, the van wouldn't turn over, just acted like it wanted to. I panicked because I'm not mechanically inclined at all. So eventually...

    Is respecting each other really too much to ask??

    After browsing youtube this morning, I watched bobs recent video for Christmas Day. And for some reason, I just couldn't resist reading the comments. Plenty of positive, but I just couldn't understand the negative. One click lead to another and I found myself just feeling disgusted at other...

    Trailer brake controller install help

    So I've been putting off on the trailer brake controller for awhile, which I know isn't smart, since I'm pulling about 2800lbs. Was about to pull the trigger on one yesterday while at camping world. There was one about $69, and on the package it says quick connect easy install. So I asked a guy...

    C-Head Toilet Owners!

    Anyone here that owns a C-Head composting toilet have any tips for preventing caking buildup in the urine diverter, or good chemicals for removing it? It seems like every time we clean it, we have to scrub with a brush, and we clean it enough to where you'd think it wouldn't be an issue, I'm...

    Apparently it gets hot in the desert?

    Shower walls in Travel Trailer

    In our trailer, the shower doesn't have a tub surround, it's just the same as all the walls through out the trailer. Why do they do this?? Im assuming its not water proof. There's no way you wouldn't get the walls wet, unless you sat down in the tub, which who would expect people who are going...

    Anyone into mountain biking?

    I finally pulled the trigger and have gotten into mountain biking this year, just as I figured I love it. Now I’d like to find more people who live on the road to ride some of the more technical trails with, as the wife can’t tackel those. Also does anyone know if there might be any trails in...

    A/C cuts off when hard acceleration

    So I've noticed this before, back when I first hit the road driving through the blue ridge mountains. When accelerating up hills the ac would cut out, and if I let off the gas a little bit it would come back. I noticed this yesterday when I took the trailer out for the first time. Why would the...

    More power for towing suggestions?

    Been doing some research but I'd also like to get input here hoping maybe there are some people who have been in my boat. The 2000 ford E150 5.4l v8 that I have and will be using as a tow vehicle feels like it could use more power, I fear once I get out west climbing big mountains it will be an...

    Mysterious trailer mod...

    So I bought this trailer the other day, and noticed these weird plumbing looking inputs, I asked the guy and he said he had no idea what they are, and there's nothing connected to them, so I have no idea what they could be, just wanted to post to see if anyone's on here had any possible theories

    Travel Trailer fridge power draw

    I went to look at a travel trailer that I really like, to find out the the fridge is electric only. Salesman of course doesn't know the amperage draw, because he's a salesman. He said he's gonna look into it, as I said I would do the same, having trouble finding any information tho. The trailer...

    It's official.. I'm a nut job.

    So while trying to get to Colorado Springs, some serious snow hit the high elevation areas. Instead of just waiting, we decided to make our way through wolf creek pass, with weather warnings and what not.. It was pretty serious.. The ole e150 managed to make it through the 45 miles of snow...

    Dometic fridge issue

    This dometic Cfx65dz is starting to be a pain in the ass. I can't get the temperature to go below 35, and sometimes the temp will raise, then go down only a couple degrees many hours later. Example. Yesterday I woke up and it was at 35, then it managed to climb all the way to 39, while not...

    Why the heck is it so hot in my van?!?

    I'm in Austin, and the sun started going down.. And for the life of me I couldn't figure out why the heck it was so hot in my van. Once the sun was gone and I was still sweating I figured welp here's global warming, time to die. Then I just happen to look at my bottom sliding Windows, I have a...

    Reflectix question...

    Sorry if this sounds stupid.. But I'm really stupid.  So I sprayed my back windows with flat black the other day. I had met a couple van dwellers in Panama City beach named Marshall and ally, who had done this and it looked really good. So I did the back windows and then I remembered something...
