Remember.....waste tanks are long, wide but not really very deep. I am trying to get "poop pyramid" out of my head!!!:S188Views0likes0CommentsRe: Artic Fox 27-5L or Dutchmen Komfort 2920FRK

If your buying a truck anyhow, forget the F250. Go for a 1 ton SRW and tow happy. Artic Fox is not backed by big corporation, nor offer nationwide dealer network. They are a small low volume producer of nice trailers. They are not bullit proof. Having good friend as former dealer, all the things you mentioned made them difficult to get warranty work done. According to him they are just as problematic as other brands. Family owned is nice, but highly capitalized is better, with more resources when it comes to innovations !300Views0likes0CommentsRe: Snake!!!
At a park this last week. In the rest room a cute six inch snake had found its way into the facility. Man as wife called out to him, he went inside and picked it up to move it. It was a western diamond back. Bad idea for sure, I hear he might lose three fingers. (multiple bites) Small snakes are just as deadly, if not more so. Please people leave it to Park Management. Watching rattlesnake republic three times does not make one an expert! Where I live you don't move anything outside without looking first! Oh and not all have rattles!373Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looks like Redwood is bringing back Carriage

So I would doubt that they will match the previous Carriage quality. Vist the site Lost! Way too much plywood for me! The went out of business for a reason. Thor did not purchase the intellectual property, frankly cause it was sadly outdated. Toured a new Lifstyle Friday. Not that impressed! First slides were vent deep and floor plan seemed cramped! Kinda like your old 40 plus RV you hate and write about so much!367Views0likes0CommentsRe: Least problematic brands and dealers

When was the last time anyone read on here about a bad frame on a Northwood product? They all have issues, even the $$$$$$ ones. Northwood's not impervious to problems anymore than other brands. But some do have more problems than others. It's no different than a truck warranty. A bad dealer will make things worse. Northwood's customer satisfaction is one reason we went with them. It about the total package when you buy. Customer satisfaction, good floor plan, quality build. Building your own frames, does not make them better. Also look at production numbers, fewer build can skew results of actual consumer reports. I have no problem with them as I said before, but I do think they look out dated like NuWa!168Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generator question
bcarroll wrote: This might be a dumb question but...what is the difference between a regular generator and an inverter generator? Would you connect them to a trailer differently? I mean, as far as I understand, a regular generator will provide AC to the trailer and charge the battery, but an inverter will take DC power and turn it into AC. So is an inverter generator simply both a regular generator plus an inverter? or...? You will get better technical answers soon. The inverter generator produces a cleaner power, less likely to fry computer or damage TVs etc. A stand along inverter will allow you to run 110 household items using battery reserve capacity. I have inverter generator by Yamaha and don't use any battery energy, except to run my 12 volt systems. Generator provides clean reliable power to run my entire trailer and recharge batteries!397Views0likes0Comments
