Washing the exterior of our TT
Hi All, We bought our TT last year and it's in need of a bath! Before I begin getting the dirt off, I wanted to see what people use to wash their RVs. I usually use dish soap when washing my truck but wanted to make sure that was not too abrasive for an RV. Thx!3.3KViews0likes14CommentsBest Portable Black Water Tank?
Just purchased our first, mostly new, travel trailer! We are getting ready to go on a lot of trips and will be parked for several days. By my calculations, we'll need to empty the tanks every two days. What is the most durable, reliable, portable black water tank? Lots of choices and there are some bad reviews for almost all of them. Thanks for the help! Also, any tips on how to safely get it from your trailer to the dump site? sometimes they can be pretty far. And I've seen them pulled behind trucks but have also seen reviews where the wheels fell off in route!1.4KViews0likes5CommentsBuying New, Is there a Consumer Report Guide for RVs?
We love to camp and are finally in a good place to buy something new. Looking at travel trailers at Camping World and other lots. How can I go about making an informed decision as I focus in on specific brands and models? Is there a consumer reports guide to travel trailers? Thx!9.4KViews0likes14CommentsRe: Pulling a TT that is pulling a Boat Trailer
To Mickey - what is MH and TK? Also, it's just too heavy to put up on my truck. It's got decking, a mounted trolling motor, etc. I've taken it off the trailer once by myself and swore not to do it again. Just too heavy. Porta-Bote sounds interesting but I don't want to have to buy another boat. From what little research I've done, it seems like it's only legal to tow two trailers if i have a fifth wheel.218Views0likes0CommentsPulling a TT that is pulling a Boat Trailer
Is this possible or legal? Hi everyone. I used to own an RV and had to get rid of it. I'm looking to get back into the game. However, I'm really into fishing since I got a little 14' aluminum fishing boat and take it whenever we go camping. I'd hate to go without it at this point. But when thinking about getting a camper again, I'm not sure what to do. I don't necessarily want to have to take two cars. Can you pull a camper that is also pulling a boat trailer? Would this be too complicated? I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has solved this problem. Thx!3.3KViews0likes23CommentsFreon for old TT AC
Hi. I have an old 70s TT. The ACblows cold, but not ice cold. I'm worried it won't be enough for our June Florida trip. My RV repair guy told me it was going to be tough to find more Freon since it's been outawed. I don't know anything about this. Not sure what I should do. replacing is too expensive right now. Anyone know about this?3.2KViews0likes11Comments
