    Help me find the breaker box

    Ahhh, I didn't look under the couch. We looked under the couch when we first bought it, and the furnace is there, so I thought that's all there would be. Good tip. I keep thinking it's under the back bed.

    DMV Fee when registering RV

    In Florida I just paid $268. That was an out of state title transfer, new tag, and new title printed immediately. I realize that may not answer your question at all.

    Help me find the breaker box

    I feel like I have probably looked at it a million times and keep passing over it. We just got our RV about a month ago, so we are still learning about it. Tomorrow is a new day.

    Help me find the breaker box

    Our generator is putting out bad electricity like 150 instead of 120. We didn't realize that till after our AC kicked off on our inaugural run of the generator. We thought we might have fried the AC unit, but my husband deterined that there's no power going to it (we're plugged in). So now my...

    Missing Front Passenger Seat

    Alrighty, we have our solution. I found 4 captain's chairs on Craigslist with bases and seatbelts! The seats are from a newer style van but having the bases they came on really makes it easy to drill holes to fit our needs. I'll tell y'all though if it wasn't for Trevor French (screen name)...

    Hi Ya'll!!!

    We have a 23 foot class C, do you think we'll have a problem going along the PCH? We are only going to be on it between San Jose and San Francisco. My husband definitely will have a wet suit, he's a fairly avid surfer and has has his eye on this spot for a while. I am so stoked that a site like...

    More effective evaporative cooler

    This is pretty funny. I get it though, if cooling is a problem, like when driving through the desert with a baby and no AC, this may be a possible solution.

    I'd be interested to know if anyone has used something like this with success.

    Hi Ya'll!!!

My husband is a member of the IBEW and he plans to find work out on the West Coast. I found this site...

    Missing Front Passenger Seat

    I have not tried a newer van seat yet. Just when I called the junk yards giving them the year, make and model, they said, "nope, and the computer would show me if we had anything that would interchange, and we don't". But I really find that hard to believe. We are certainly willing to abandon...
