Re: backup camera

Good for when you want to see behind you while on the road, especially when passing a slow vehicle so you can see that you are safely ahead. You just unplug the wires when you land at camp and unhook the RV. I ran the wires from a mounted camera (on my rear ladder) under the trailer and zip tied them to the front of the trailer. Everything is mobile and can be temporary or permanent as you want. Good luck Camera system a better camera Cig lighter switch Wire extension which of the two cameras did you by and how did you route the power cord back through your truck?

What brand of camera do you use? Any info would be helpful. Thanks685Views0likes0CommentsRe: backup camera

The one thing I did different was to mount the camera to the top edge at the back of our trailer and tilt it where I can see the spare tire on my bumper. I also have the wireless router piece permanently mounted inside and wired into my 12v system. It has a very wide angle so I have a great view of the road behind me. It really helps when backing into a camp site also. Do-it-yourself CHEAP rear view camera solution Did you mount the router in the back of the trailer or in the front? If in the back, was the picture adequate? Also what did you use for the monitor? Thanks685Views0likes0CommentsRe: Traveling with long or short t.t.

It has a bed you could exit without crawling over your spouse, the has a pantry and closets for food and linens, it has a large bathroom and it is short enough to wind through city streets looking for quilt shops. it is also full functional with the slide in. Except for the "Road to the Sun" in Glacier National Park which does not allow any vehicle or TT and TV combination over 25 ft. long, we have never had a issue with length or campground space. Could you explain what "road to the sun" is about. Is it a main road through Glacier? Del346Views0likes0CommentsRe: Traveling with long or short t.t.

We have a 31ft TT. The only problem we had was in Winnipeg where we had some narrow streets with round-a-bouts. That said we are seriously thinking about getting something smaller for future long trips. We spend very little time in the camper and smaller would definitely be easier to tow and will allow you to get into more campsites. We had to skip a couple of state parks because we did not know if we would fit. We also think little time will be spent inside the tt, although weather can play a role here.344Views0likes0CommentsTraveling with long or short t.t.
We plan to be on the road for 8-10 weeks next fall, traveling from IL. to the west and Canada, visiting national parks along the way. Our t.t. is a 30 ft, weigh around 6000 lbs.. Need advice on whether this trip would be much easier pulling a 15-20ft tt. Guess I'm concerned about the length of the longer trailer, getting around mountains, parks, gas stations, etc.. Looking for your wisdom as to your experiences with long or shorter tt. Most of our camping is around the midwest, which is relatively flat. Del11KViews0likes40CommentsFast cycling water pump
We have a Shurflo 4008 water pump that cycles on and off continuously, especially at lower flow rates from kitchen and bathroom faucets. TT is a 2014 Rockwood lite. Pamphlet that came with tt talks about adjusting the bypass and pressure switch, wondering if anyone has done so and where these screws would be? Didn't notice this before but nothing has be changed in terms of tubing, etc.. Thanks, Del1.2KViews0likes5Comments
