Put a rubber outdoor mat on propane tray to slow the speed of rust on the propane tray and tank.

Uncategorized

Nateamundo1:

The tray will rust even faster now that your trapping moisture under the mat. You would be better off coating it with some form of bed liner spray.

evelbug:

You’d be better off just cleaning it up and hitting it with a rattle can every year. That mat will just trap moisture.

IamaFunGuy:

This will be great when the tank starts to cut into the mat and gets loose under the clamp. I think your way over estimating the problem you’re trying to solve.

nutbuckers:

I would probably just hit that tray with cosmoline or other wax film forming product, and maybe add a ring made of a length of split rubber tubing on the bottom of the propane tank.

Man, these are such a great upgrade if your rig isn’t equipped with them already. So nice to be able to keep the vents open rain or shine. Or even leave them open driving home to air things out after some time camping.

Well done!

USArmy51Bravo:

I found it extremely easy to do. But here’s a warning the first one I bought was black and it was so damn dark in the RV I had to remove it and put a white one up like the one in your picture. Now we’ve got a new RV where it’s so bright it wakes everybody up and I have to go try and find a black one. These consistently sold on Amazon for around 16 to $19 but now they’re 40 bucks plus everywhere I look and I’ve been holding off

djtullbooth:

I don’t see a seal…. Did you deal the bolt penetrations with silicon?

Setting up shop AFTER all the Memorial Day folks have left

Uncategorized

FrigginMondos:

I wish I could do this. Being a construction worker I don’t get paid holidays, so for me to take time off other than holidays would mean that I not only lose hours for the holidays but also I lose hours for the off-holiday vacations I take. It is just financially more sensible for me to take advantage of the “forced” time off. However I do often take a day or two after the holiday off while I am at it so that I can enjoy some vacation time without the holiday crowd, too.

62Bravo1993:

I agree! We try to avoid all the big holidays and camp / vacation during off-peak times.

5500 with the tow package. I got a weight distribution hitch. Didn’t have any problems on the 45 minute ride home. Only went about 50-55. Looking forward to many memories.

I did a ton of research before settling on this camper. We had our heart set on a Wild Pup 17JG before I did more digging and found that it was too close to my comfort zone.
We wanted a slide for the dinette in order for my son with cerebral palsy to have more room and less likely to fall.
This one is light enough for me to feel comfortable and has the slide.

bryguy306:

Yikes. Talk to an rv dealer. They can point you in the right direction. Personally by the looks of it the right direction would be going thru insurance and writing it off. Cost factor to the value of the trailer might not be worth fixing if your paying out of pocket.

RusKel86:

By repair you mean pull the entire front off, fix all the rotted structure and then re-skin. It will quickly cost more than the rig is worth. If you are really handy, you could tear it down fix the structure yourself, and then replace the fiber with a sheet of aluminum. Saw that done in a video, not for the faint of heart.

Had my brother pick up my new travel trailer and drop it off. Couldn’t get the hitch ball out so he left me with this. Now I can’t get it out. Any tips?

Uncategorized

imanalias:

Not to state the obvious, but the lever is still down that locks the ball into the socket?

JKinFLA:

Your hitch release needs to lift up and slide back. Try tapping it with a hammer

Chrischin33:

Leave it lol. Now you just have to line your truck up perfectly to hook it up.

Noid687:

Pull back and up on the lever behind the ball

You may have to adjust the catch up in under where the ball goes

Hit the draw bar with a mallet. It may dislodge it after the lever is up and back out of the way

A touch of grease on the ball will help in the future once it is adjusted right

93WhiteStrat:

Is it loose or wiggle at all? I mean, can you pull the release? If you can, it should drop right out.

20buxiz20bux:

Big fuckin hammer

ShallotConscious4959:

Something I had to learn the hard way was that you need to grease your ball before towing. You can get away without doing it for a while with new trailers, but sooner or later the mechanism gets rusty and you’re right back here. Any industrial petroleum-based grease lubricant will do.

I went and looked at a used RV once and the wall very clearly had water damage. The owner made a super brief mention of it and said “it’s had a bit of water but I fixed it and it’s fine.” I pointed at the wall and said it looked like it’s still wet and his response was to literally put his finger through the rotten wall and say “oh this?? That’s really no big deal!”

“Before you travel, lay out all the “things” and all the money that you are planning to take.
Now get rid of 50% of the “things” and double the money”

My wife and I have recently (a year before and then a trip that caught us in the middle of pandemic) traveled a lot of the US. One year, road tripping, camping and hoteling. Then in February 2020 we hit the road in an RV with a 6 month old baby and a dog. We were fortunate to have family with land to stay on in Texas, Tennessee and Maryland so that the trip was not a total waste, but we learned that we didn’t need half of what we took. It’s not like we were boon docking for more than a week at a time (4 month road trip) so there was always a chance to restock.

Funny thing though, during the craziness of the hunt for toilet paper and paper towels, we were overstocked and just this week the wife mentioned we needed to buy toilet paper!!! I am such a hoarder, but learning…. sort of..

Driving along I-40, doing about 70-72. Put all new tires on a brand new rig before heading cross country, all Goodyear Endurance. This was about 1500 miles in, half way through a travel day.

I saw white smoke pouring off the trailer, looked at TPMS and all was clear. Started putting together an action plan as I was pulling over, did I lose a bearing, brake dragging. How quick can I unhitch if the damn thing is on fire.

Looks like it blew the stem, TPMS didn’t go off because it was GONE!

One record fast tire change and we were back on the road, just down a tire monitor. SUPER glad I packed a floor jack and an electric impact gun. (I do torque them correctly with a manual wrench when done)

Next day was another travel day, hit a bunch of delays and got in around 10:30PM to the site, as I’m driving through the last construction are by the campground, TPMS alert. Lost another tire in the construction area. Had to change it while looking down the street to the campground entrance. Almost made it.

Per camping usual in the PNW, the sun came out as I was getting ready to head home

Uncategorized

Planecrashchick:

Is it just me, or does the weather suddenly seem much nicer when it’s time to head home?

Hooked up and ready to leave Howard Miller Steelhead Park near North Cadcades National Park in WA. It’s a wonderful home base for exploring the Cascades, looking for eagles, launching a boat, or hike at Rockport State Park.

After tent camping here for five years, this was my first trip with my 2021 Arctic Fox 25R. Fourth trip with the Fox and absolutely loving it.

Archer_37:

Guaranteed. This time of year it only seems to rain on the weekend, but damn if it isn’t beautiful one the sun does come out.

Larszx:

The wide angle or whatever your camera did at this distance makes your truck look really goofy. Or my eyes are getting really bad. The front wheel looks gargantuan compared to the rear.

Testing if my new solar suitcase and GC batteries will handle the DC only fridge

Uncategorized

LowBarometer:

My boondocking weak spot is the damn dc fridge. It sucks up so much battery that it limits my time in the field. I’m not sure what to do about it. I can’t add more solar as I’m out of roof space. To make matters worse I don’t like parking in the sun. I really, really don’t want to buy a generator.

04MT13:

We run ours off propane when we’re not hooked up to anything.

Anyone have any thoughts on propane vs DC when b’docking?

Love the suitcase for the mobility and flexibility. Like the other guy said, sometimes parking in the sun can be a detriment.

TheGreatOpoponax:

Buy a generator. It really is okay to have one. And let us know how your panel setup does with the fridge. I’m genuinely curious.

Shrektacular21:

We bought a 1200 watt solar panel with our trailer but haven’t used it yet. I’m curious how you set up holds out since we have only gone to powered sites so far.

Edit it’s been pointed out I was wrong with 1200 and it’s only 120 watt.

nforrest:

We’re in the same boat but worse. Our original battery is junk – the 12v Norcold fridge starts beeping and giving us a low voltage code on the front after about 20 or 30 minutes of being unplugged. I’ve ordered a 280 AH china battery and will get a small generator to be able to top off the battery as needed, hopefully only once a day for an hour or 2. I think 3 days is going to be the outer limit of our tanks so I’m not worried about going longer than that.

LeadFarmerMothaFucka:

I sell campers and RVs. What you’re doing is about as good as it gets bud. It should do the trick barring any clouds.

Seawolfe665:

We just put 350 W of solar on the roof of my tiny vintage trailer, that feeds a 170Ah / 2.176kWh LiPO4 battery. This is more than enough to keep my crappy 120V AC 1.7 CuFt dorm fridge & tiny freezer, all lights, 2 iPads, computers, phones and even run the tiny AC a couple hours a day. We still bring the small generator converted to use propane – we can plug it into the system via an automatic transfer switch so no need to disconnect anything. But we havent had to use it yet. Put most of your money into a good batter is my vote.

Anybody else name their trailer!?!?! We named ours Good Vibes because we always have good vibes and energy before we head out camping! Would love to hear other names and reasons behind the name for your RV ????

Uncategorized

CaminanteNC:

Ours is named Gary by my daughters after SpongeBob’s pet snail and my highway pace when towing. We slapped a vinyl Gary on the back similar to your Good Vibes just so anybody stuck behind us at least knows we’re self-aware.

RelativeFox1:

Good vibes before you leave!?!? Our place is always a shit show trying to hit the road.

93WhiteStrat:

We named ours the Wanderous I. I like the the quote “All who wander are not lost” and our 5 year old granddaughter (on her first camping trip in the trailer) marveled at the experience and said, “This is wondrous!”

So we mixed the two words and made a new one of our own. My wife added the “I” in case there’s ever a “II” or a “III.”

Custom wheel cover

Bret47596:

Named our Roadtrek “Roci”.

After Rocinante in The Expanse. Which in turn is named after Don Quixote’s horse.

Additionally, Rocinante is the name of the camper truck used by author John Steinbeck in his 1960 cross-country road trip, which is depicted in his 1962 travelogue Travels with Charley (Wikipedia)

NevadaFlint:

19 hand horse. It’s a big toy hauler

It was the smallest actual grocery store we’ve ever seen, had to do a 6 point turn just to go in one side and out the other. Wife jokingly called it a “Piglet Wiglet” and it went from there…

Unless it’s already been done, I’d recommend checking and probably replacing belts, hoses, tires, basically anything rubber that could wear out. We bought an older camper, and learned the hard way.

AbuddyFL:

Nice spot and Weber Q!

frozenwhites:

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!

Can I bug you about your grill? I have the q1200 which looks like it may be the same thing you have. I just bought it brand new and have used it about 5 times. It doesn’t seem to get very hot (according to the thermometer on the lid.) It takes forever just to get to “300” ish. I bought an oven thermometer to set down on the grill to see if it is hotter there and it is not. I have tried different 1lb propane bottles and have seen no difference.

I have gone through their support and forums and everything they point me to is the regulator being in some bypass mode, but that only seems to apply to when you’re using the adapter for a bigger tank. Because to take it out of bypass mode implies that you have the adapter installed, which I do not.

My food still gets cooked, but I’m used to my other propane grills going up to 600 degrees fairly easily if I leave them on high.

What is your experience? Do you have the lid thermometer? Does yours get hotter? I specifically bought this for the high ratings. Thanks in advance.

First trip out was a success!

Uncategorized

cstaalin:

Our first trip out with the new truck and TT was a success. No major issues or things not working as expected. I did get a little scare when turning on the water pump for the first time and nothing happening. Turns out I just needed to find the cut off valve to the fresh water tank that was used to winterize the TT from the factory.

I had a rubber seal fall off the back by the slide out. It got stuck to some silicon and pulled off when putting out the slide. It was an easy fix but will have to watch it to make sure it doesnt pull of again. Dont know where I would even get a replacement for that. Another small problem was when we got back home. I noticed the dead bolt now doesnt full engage. The door or something shifted while towing so I will have to remedy that before our next outing.

Over all though we were very pleased and had a great time. Looking forward to our next trip!

Homemade maybe?

sassmo:

What happens when he hits a bump at speed?

d2b9b8ecd213d40c58d7:

That’s using a nearly $4K off-the-shelf lift system that has always struck me as looking homemade. And I’m not sure the camper is homemade either. Probably a salvage/rebuild with frankenstein parts, and interestingly, that wrap should do a pretty damn good job of hiding delamination which I’m going to say is certainly present.

What an interesting, somewhat sketchy solution to avoid a proper truck for that load. Reminds of a bastardized version of the Automated Safety Hitch. May not be that sketchy – it appears to have at least three connection points like the ASH and acts as a real tag axle. I’m still hesitant to believe it’s a suitable alternative to a proper vehicle.

Gotta love the propane tank mounted sideways at the very rear.

Edit – oh man, the thing just keeps getting better. They ran a brace from the overhang to the body, which blocks the rear cab door from opening!

Nateamundo1:

Ugly is what it is.

TransientVoltage409:

The jack system is called Stable Lift and does double duty as a tie-down. It’s spendy but not much more than regular power jacks for a heavy camper. It’s high on my list of gonna-get-its right after I win the lottery.

Not caring for the rest of it. The gas bottle in the perfect place to get hit by a rear-ender. The tag axle because the truck is overloaded (and the extra axle doesn’t make it not overloaded). To each his own I guess, but I’m gonna give this one plenty of room if I meet it on the highway.

y2knole:

i get the intention but this is just an all around janky mess.
Get a camper that fits your truck or a truck that fits your camper but oh no baby dont do this.

Spaceship_Mechanic:

Embarrassing. There is nothing right about this setup. Camper is far too big for a 1/2 ton truck. It is overweight before the driver even gets in. Ground clearance is gone. The ability to tow a trailer is gone. Safe handling on the highway is gone. This is a clown car, but more dangerous. Just get a trailer. There is no advantage to this thing.

Our expy has done way more work than it ever signed up for!

I strongly recommend you consider upgrading from the P rated tires they are spec’d for for some load range E LT tires? They made a world of difference for ours when towing. sweeping highway turns it felt like i was driving a waterbed. especially if there happened to be nearby traffic. a set of load range E tires at 55psi makes for so much more stable of a ride…

I really like truck campers for their ability to boondock anywhere. If I had unlimited funds, I’d get an Arctic Fox and a big 4wd dually for it and disappear for weeks at a time in the mountains of New Mexico.

Kunning-Druger:

Nice rig!!! I have an Arctic Fox 990 sitting in an F-450 SuperDuty.

I have MS, so sometimes getting a leg up to the bottom step is a chore. To deal with that, I built a short “stairway” out of lightweight metal stringers and plywood. It is narrow and short enough to store easily on the floor of my camper while we’re travelling. I don’t care if I have to crawl up the stairs on all fours; I’m not giving up the ability to boondock everywhere we go, as well as get into the nicest campsites.

They are a bit pricey, but look into torklift steps. They extend quit a ways and are a bit easier to climb up. I have a friend that uses them for his truck camper and he’s in his upper 70s.

Honestly probably a TT as opposed to a fifth wheel. We are 65 and 63 and the steps into a fiver are higher and steeper than a TT. you can but aftermarket steps that are easier though.

What about a ‘short’ 5th wheel? Nothing crazy but as you already have a 350, why not a 5th.
