camping

We are hoping to attend the Tampa RV show in January. This will be our first time, and I’m looking at my options for camping. The FRVTA website does not yet have campsite info posted for the fairground rv spots. Does anyone know when they typically open up those sites for reservations? Can...

Hello! Three Year Forum member but this is my first post. I spent the time soaking up the great knowledge shared here. Thank You everyone for that. My wife and I reside in New Hampshire but our dream is to eventually move south to be closer to our grandchildren - they are all settled in the...

Put a beach-style woven plastic mat in front of your tent door for a clean dry space to take your shoes on and off. Use waterproof materials. Don't forget to bring enough socks. Bring a knife and a fire starter. Don’t forget a can opener. A cheap foam sleeping pad can make cold ground...

About a three years ago, I purchased an RV cover from Camping World (CW). One of the features, a “three-year manufacture warranty”, sounded great! This spring, the large zipper just wouldn’t zip. It refused to catch. I called CW and inquired about a replacement (three years warranty, you...

I let the rv go to camping world. They gave me the original offer of 37K and did not haggle. I figure they may sell it for 50K+ asking price before haggling. I am a little sad letting it go. We were not using it enough in the last few years. Wife never was too excited to go so I made the...

Has anyone taken their Starlink home unit with them while camping? If so, did you have a problem when you cam back and set your unit back up? We go camping only a couple times a year for less than a week each time. Due to that, we don't want to buy another unit and subscribe to roaming. Can't...

Just curious is anyone is camping in this awful heat and humidity. At least here in the eastern half of Virginia the heat and humidity is horrible. I cannot see where camping in these conditions would be fun but maybe I am soft. Looking forward to fall.

We just bought a 2025 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 17JW. We do mostly dry camping (no electric or water). The one battery that came with the camper does not hold a charge very well. We may go all day, using only the USB lights and refer, and it goes down quickly. The refer uses 12V, which...

Hey Everyone! My family had a 70”s RV and before that one we tent camped a lot. Now after two careers I have my first motor coach, and my wife’s first ever camping adventure. I’m retired AF and retired defense industry. We bought a new 2024 Tiffin Wayfarer 25JW on a 2023 Sprinter 3500XD chassis...

Hi all, First time having a plumbing issue in nearly 10 years. I have a 2016 Jayco 323LKTS fifth wheel. City water hookup is fine. Was dry camping this past weekend with a full tank of water and began having an excessive amount of air being pulled in to the system. The water pressure starts...

I've driven some on Grand Mesa but this month we'd like to camp up there for a while in dispersed campsites. We've used one of the RV campgrounds near Powderhorn in the past but want something different this time. We'd be camping in a 19' TT towed by a 2024 Ford F250. Suggestions?

My wife and I are going to be doing a medical travel assignment in Frederick, Maryland and are looking for options a 3 month camp site, hopefully with full hookups. Other options and advice welcome. 37 foot fifth wheel. Thanks in advance. God bless and bee safe

One of the biggest headaches I have when we go camping is keeping towels and bathing suits dry. On my first camping trip I brought regular towels from home. They did not dry at all after being used. For my next camping trip I bought microfiber towels that are thinner and are supposed to dry...

In warm to hot weather how do you deal with the lack of ventilation with the frameless windows that only open about 3 inches at the bottom? I dry camp and/or boondock quite a bit in warm to hot weather. The 2025 20RD Back Country I looked at, the windows at the dinette had tiny crank out...

We will be staying at Nash Fork campground in the snowy range in a week, in a small travel trailer. Is there anywhere close by to fill our water tank? Coming from Yellowstone. Thanks in advance!

Some of you may be familiar with this older Android app. I'd had it installed on my, now defunct, Motorola phone and used / adapted it extensively for use when prepping for all of our RV trips. The time eventually came, though, where I had to go to a new (now my current) Samsung S24+ phone. I...

If you dry camp in your fifth wheel, what type of batteries do you have and how many amp hours? We can’t get through the night with our 2 12V AGMs with no more than our 12V refer occasionally running. Our rv is a ‘25 so all is new.

Has anyone stayed at a campground near the Ford museum in Detroit? Any recommendations. 44 foot motorhome with a toad.

I'm in the process of finalizing our fall road trip. In 2022 we stayed at Winhall Brook, which is currently closed due to flood damage. I've made my first reservation at Meadowcrest and now looking for somewhere further south. This is the first time I've encountered CGs that charge extra to...

Wondering about peoples experience when selling an RV to C W. They tell me they have 24 hours to inspect it before they send a check. I don't understand the 24 hours. Looking for how it worked for other people. I wonder if the first offer is to get you there and then try to lower the price.

A picture of my future wife and I camping at Watkins Glen, NY in October of 1978. Our first camping trip together and her first time at a Formula One race weekend. She loved both so I had to keep her around. Still doing both after 45 years! Let's see your pictures!

The Marion NC Camping world employees found out yesterday as they arrived for work that their workplace was permanently closing - effective immediately. This was a shock for the local community, and will certainly change plans for those of us who have used their services going forward. For...

I’m upgrading my RV and need advice on choosing between a 12V or 110V air conditioner. I’ve read mixed reviews and would love to hear from those with real-world experience. I travel quite a bit and do a mix of campgrounds with hookups and some off-grid boondocking. A 110V AC sounds like the...

Looking for a decent RV park near Toronto Ontario for mid September this year. 3 days, midweek. There's not a lot showing up. Situation appears worse than Vancouver! I've found Bronte Creek ( not open for booking yet) and Glen Rouge ( closed past 2 years for renos). Anyone have any other...

I am looking current info on camping for speedweek 2025. The closest campground with sites still available seems to be Angel Lake a few hours away. We have a dog with us so will need AC I know. Is it feasible to run the AC off generator a few days....we have a Class C so we can dry camp? Or...
