I'm building a cage for my holding tanks, and I want them to be very secure.  They're living on the inside of my cargo trailer because I have enough room for them and I want them to be freeze-proof since I'm building a 4-season unit. My question is this: What do you suppose the maximum negative...

I've been suburban boondocking the past couple days and having a great time.  Unfortunately, the sun hasn't been around much, and my batteries are starting to run low.  Any suggestions on places where I can go and plug in my camper for a couple hours and run the battery charger? My friends live...

So I can start this post with this: I might be crazy. I would really like to build my own water heater instead of buying one.  Because I'm doing an all-electric build, it's going to be an electric water heater.  I've found a wonderful little 48v DC water heater and all I need now is a tank...

Hello All, I'm building out my big trailer, and I'm working on figuring out which generator to buy.  A nice potential side benefit is that while the big trailer is being built, I can grab the genny and take it with me and my truck camper for the next couple months too. The genny will be...

My truck camper has a sidewall that seems to be falling apart.  I'm sure the construction in most travel trailers is likely the same, so I'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions on how to either fix it or shore it up so the corner of my camper doesn't fall apart. It seems like the wood...

I'm on my way to RTR, and I'm having a layover in Kansas City due to excessively strong winds and wind gusts. I found a relatively quiet spot at a Walmart, and I'm hanging out until tomorrow when the winds should die down.  The issue I'm having is with excessive amounts of moisture in my...

So I've started towing my trailer around, and for the most part, everything is working exactly like it should.  The only exception seems to be if I'm going very slow down a snow-covered hill.  Under that situation (this is around 10mph or less) and I need to stop or slow down greatly when going...

I think I'm in stage IV cabin fever here.  Not sure how much more I can take.  I haven't even opened the front door since Friday, and I won't be going anywhere until tomorrow. Woke up this morning to -19°F with a -30°F wind chill.  It's not a whole lot better now. I can't wait for my Jan 1st...

I would like to get opinions on a couple of ideas regarding towing. When towing on level ground, is it reasonable to leave overdrive on? When towing on level ground, is it reasonable to use cruise control? I fully understand that when towing in hilly country, mountains, or generally anything...

Hi everyone, I'm setting up a truck/trailer combo.  Got an old truck a few months ago, and I'm picking up the trailer on Tuesday (December 20th, 2016), assuming the weather doesn't go crazy. I'm in MN right now in my sticks-and-bricks house, and I'm planning on taking off Jan 1st for RTR...
