Most new motorhomes don't come with a spare tire. My first Class A motorhome did, a 1999 Bounder, and it was tucked up under the chassis. The disadvantage to not carrying a spare is a flat tire can ruin a vacation. My last Class A, a 2015 Forest R...
I recently modified my new 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon so it can be towed behind our RV (which is changing soon).The wiring was more complex than the two previous Jeeps I wired as TOADS. Part of it was due to the CANbus system, and LED tail lights w...
I've been RVing a long time. I have an entire collection of propane and charcoal cooking options. The newest one for me is the Ninja Foodi XL grill.An advantage it has over the others is I can grill indoors when it's raining sideways. We live in F...
Our previous rig was a 25' travel trailer. We kept it parked next to the house since 2011, when we moved in. Zero issues moving it.Late last year, we bought a used 35' Class A. It fits nicely next to the house too. When I had the fence installed,...
In truth, not our first Class A. But life got in the way, had to downsize to a 25' TT for a few years, paid off the house, got another (nicer) Class A.We were going to trade in the 2007 Rockwood 2502 TT. We ordered it new in 2006, and it's been a g...

I've had several different types of RV fridges. My current one is the 10 cubic ft Norcold 12V compressor type. The downside to 12V compressor fridges is they consume more power per day than an absorption type fridge running on propane. The upside ...
I've been doing this since 2004, with multiple RVs. We are in FL, and I leave the A/C on, set to about 78F. This keeps the temps lower inside, and removes the humidity. Both will destroy the interior of an RV.Furthermore, most RVs come with a smar...
I ALWAYS leave my A/C on. Did this for my 1999 Bounder Class A, a 2006 Rockwood travel trailer, and now our current Class A.I set the temp 78-79F, close the blinds, but turn off the residential fridge.Heat and humidity here in FL will destroy the in...
