Re: Pressure Reducing Regulator Setting
Or do what I do; use the campground city water ONLY to fill your tank as needed, and use your onboard pump while camping. No chance of overpressure damage, and if an inside line/fitting breaks or starts leaking, you'll know it instantly because your pump will start running.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Steering problem...looking for ideas/causes

It was the first time they had driven/used an RV before and they had a couple of user error problems that caused them much stress, so they were done. One mobile mechanic (in a video they shared with me) showed that one of the tie rods could move just a little (when he tugged on it). There was another mechanic in town who test drove it and looked at it and said the steering was fine/normal and that there is usually a little play in the steering. I think what probably happened was they were driving along the long desert highway and the side winds were pushing them hard (30' RV) so it felt like they were constantly steering (turning the wheel a bit) to adjust for the side wind. I drove it home 650 miles without incident and the steering didn't feel abnormal to me during the drive. I will have my local mechanic take a look and confirm all is good. Thanks all for your suggestions and feedback! Safe travels! Chris Well, if nothing else, you know not to loan/rent your rig out to them ever again!1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: They are not Scamp, Casita or Teardrop
Overlanding is definitely a growing market, but out of the numerous "overlanding style" trucks/SUVs I see here in CA, I really wonder how many of them are actually used for their intended purpose vs just going along with the popular style. And most of them have the flip open tent on top, so no need for a trailer. JMO.591Views0likes0CommentsRe: From a class C to class A ??
We've had 3 RVs over the past 35 years; Class C, Class C, and now a Class A. Would never go back to a C. There are just so many pros; more storage, bigger tanks (water, black/grey, fuel, LPG), much more "walk around" room, the cab becomes part of the living area, phenomenal view out the windshield both while driving and while camped... Don't get me wrong, the Cs were great for us at the time, but after tasting the A, I would never go back.957Views0likes0Comments
