New Member and New Owner of Campsite Ultra 19KB

Hello All,

New member, new to RVing, and new owner of a Forest River Campsite Ultra 19KB. We have one short trip under our belt to a local campground. Everything went really well and now looking forward to many more trips.

Glad to finally be a part of the RVing community!

  • Thanks for the tips. Apparently, my fridge is a 12 volt. Not sure if it requires a level, but I know I need to level to put the slide out so there is that. This parking was a quick park to load up some stuff but I will definitely keep that in mind for the future.

      12V doesnt say much, my 35 year old fridge iw 120V/12V/propaane.  the difference is is yours a 12V compressor fridge, if it is then don't worry about being level.  you main worry will be if you have enugh battery when you are camping with out hookups

  • One suggestion. Usually parking in front of your home isn’t level side to side because of the gutter. If you are running an absorption fridge, level the trailer. Doesnt take long to ruin a fridge.

      it is far less than the 6 degrees side to side and 3 degrees back to front bay looking at the picture.   anything generaly with in thoes specs are ok.  but ya I wouldnt run it at the limits.

        Isn’t the rule 3 degrees side to side and 6 front to back? 

  • Thank you! Plans are to travel around the West to start. Any suggestions for cooler summer destinations heading out of Southern California?
