Re: black water tank maintenance newbie question
John Thank you for answering my questions!!! As to why not use our facilities. We were told in the walk through of our trailer not to go poo in there or else it will stink up the whole place. Being new I assume he is correct. We have tent camped for 15 years and very used to using the campground bathrooms, it does not bother me. I think we will eventually use the camper more but I am just not used to it. We took it out for the first time a couple weeks ago and I still cooked outside on the cook stove, I am just used to it and like being outside. We got the camper because we wanted to camp more often, we don't go in the summer because my husband just can't sleep in the heat. I wanted a toilet so I didn't have to go the bath house in the middle of the night. And it would be nice not to have my breakfast get cold because I am eating outside when it is 40 degrees. Plus we don't have to spend a lot of time getting ready to camp, it is all packed up. So we do have really good reasons as to why we bought the camper and I am very happy about it. Thank you to everyone who replied! Martina381Views0likes0Commentsblack water tank maintenance newbie question
We have bought our first travel trailer. There are 3 of us, we don't plan on using the shower or going poo in the toilet. We will camp every 3 weeks or so for 2 nights. I am guessing we will not fill up the black water tank. Should we add water by flushing the toilet then empty the tank? Or wait until it is full (could be a month or more later) and then dump. Also after dumping the tank should we have a gallon of water sitting in the trailer to put back into the tank so it is never empty? It has a 28 gallon tank. Thank you2.5KViews0likes14Commentsbuying at an rv show
We are looking to buy our first tt, we have been looking for the past month and are getting a good idea of what we want and have narrowed it down to 3 (as of now). We are going to the Nashville rv show and was wondering if that is a good place to buy a tt. Due to size limitations we plan to get a small 7foot wide tt with a queen bed and bunk house. thank you for your time!6.2KViews0likes21Commentsroof mounted ac vs side mounted ac unit
We are new to TT and looking to buy our first. We are very restricted in the size we can buy due to space. We are looking at campers that have a queen and 2 bunk beds. We are starting to narrow down our search and have found 2 trailers one with roof mount ac 13000 btu and one with side (in a cabinet) with 5000 btu. This is a small camper outside width 88in outside highth 9ft 9 in. Will 5000 btu be enough to cool the space? Is there a noise issue with the one in the cabinet? The two we like our made by forest river and it seems to get a lot of bad things said about it. We saw a Jayco that was the right size but the interior just did not seem as nice. Thank you for any feedback!13KViews0likes20Comments
