Re: Whole House Water Filter for Camping Use???
BarneyS wrote: I have been using a whole house filter, purchased at Home Depot, for the past 14 years. I use a charcoal filter in it which filters finer and also takes out any funny taste in the water. Change the filter as needed. I put the whole thing in a plastic milk case and then on the ground under the edge of our slideout. I use brass quick connect fittings on all hoses. That keeps it out of the sun and also keeps it cooler. This has worked well for us for many years, lasts longer, and is not expensive like the smaller inline filters are. Barney I use the same thing a whole house filter with the charcoal filter but I purchased fittings for an inline hookup to my hoses and use a short hose to run from the faucet and just place the filter on the ground. Then as an extra precaution to getting bugs and stuff I drain the water out and hook the short hose back up to the other fitting.523Views0likes0CommentsRe: Trailers where slides do NOT block access?
Our Aspen Trail 2480rbs is a little heavier than you are looking for but its got the door your looking for and you can get to the fridge and bathroom with the slide in. Its also got a full size queen standard, on ours we have the sliding door but the later models have a swing door and gives a little more room at the end of the bed.371Views0likes0CommentsRe: Searching for first TT, have questions.
We have an Aspen Trail 2480rbs that is just slightly longer than your looking for by about 9 inches its just under 29 feet long shipping weight is just under 6000lbs. it has a 52 gal. fresh tank with 42 gray and black tanks. The way its designed you can get to the fridge and bath with the slide closed ,about 2 foot opening between the counter top and the couch. We purchased ours as a couples camper with a trifold couch and I added a swinging/rotating tv bracket so the tv could be swing out where it was completely visible on the couch. It does sit quit high (11' 4" tall) but with the trailer siting as tall as it does makes it a lot easier to go in and out of my driveway. So far we are happy with the camper for our needs.782Views0likes0Comments
