I've been thinking about E-Track, but we get a lot of sand back there, and the E-Track is a booger to keep clean.

Do you have an SxS? How do you tie yours down?

Extend your awnings and see if one (or both) of the switches turn on the awning lights. You don't want to leave those on if the awning is rolled up.

Cleaning the snow off the slides was pretty impossible. We did...

Lights: Yes.

AC: No.

The air conditioner requires 110 power, so you'll either need shore power or you'll have to run the generator.

Hi Desert Rat,

I was having trouble with my fresh water tanks. The dealer discovered that the tanks were plumbed wrong so that the pump would only draw from one of the tanks. They had to add...

That might just be a remnant from the hardware, like a vestigial tailbone. I don't think it's hooked up. I've never felt any air coming out of it or heard any gurgling that you would expect from a...

Interesting idea. Don't the tanks need to vent though? Air needs to fill the void when you run the water pump, right?

What's "the fix" for bad fresh water vents?

I've seen references to "the fix" for the poorly designed vent tubes for fresh water tanks, but I haven't been able to find it when I search for it.

I just got my fifth wheel back from the dealer...

I love these portable ice makers. We used one for years, but my wife is eccentric and doesn't care for the type of cubes that these make. She loves the "nugget" style ice like they serve at Sonic. ...

We also stock paper plates for longer boondocking trips when we don't want to waste water on dishes.

We have a light fixture under there with a switch (to light up the battery compartment) and a switch right next to it to power the lights on the front cap.
