    Dry camping discharges house and chassis battery

    Hello, I am new here and just bought my 2005 vectra 40. I have noticed that when dry camping the voltage of both house and chassis batteries are declining. I know I can shut off either battery from the battery compartment but that doesn't seem right to me to have to do it that way? Am I...

    Does anyone do Seasonal Camping with an Escape?

    As I get closer to retirement, I've thought about getting a seasonal spot. There are some nice ones in a few Provincial Parks, on the water, not an open field with trailer next to trailer and not water/sewer hookup. Does anyone have any experience with seasonally camping in your Escape? No...

    Need a new camping stove/grill. Looking for recommendations.

    Our old propane grill needs replacing. Seems like there's a lot of low-end, flimsy options out there. What are others here using that they like? Main criteria is overall quality of course as well as easy to store & clean.
