I plug my 12 volt cell phone charger into the lower of the two "power ports" (cigarette lighter) whenever we travel. I leave it plugged in 24 hours a day. Last week we spent 5 days camping in one FL state park and I only started the BF once, to make a trip to the dump station. I did not no...

As some of you may remember, I posted an item about the problems I had with AC current frying the wires in my converter box. I've had that repaired, and now my wife and I are about to embark on a short trip in our BF to visit our daugher, son-in-law and grandchildren. Is there an inexpensive device,...

I purchased a hitch mount spare tire carrier from an Internet site called e-trailer.com (I think that is right, it was two years ago!). I also bought a wheel and tire. All this before a trip to Alaska when all the advice I read said be sure to carry a spare. The hitch mount does extend beyond the re...

We had our carpet replaced with a vinyl floor. We too, found the carpet runner always moving around. Plus we travel with four dogs and it is a lot easier to keep the floor clean and pick up the dog hair. A small hand vac will pick up dirt and dog hair. And when it is raining out, and we get back ins...

Just thought about this. Why should we worry about sleeping above the furnace and how water heater, when directly below is a very large, highly explosive tank of propane?

All the items I store in the compartment that contains the furnace and water heater (under the rear side bed) I store in plastic bins, some with tops, some without. I attached a wood strip to the floor that keeps the bins from shifting and touching the furnace. I do have some auto "liquids"...

I would like to have more variation in floor plans. I imagine this would be difficult to achieve, hold costs in line, and still produce a quality vehicle. I notice that some models now have some variation in design with the buyer allowed to pick an additonal couch, or a dinette, etc. However, the 26...

I have had a problem recently with my 110 volt AC tripping the circuit breaker. I noticed that the electrical panel metal cover in the converter box was extremely hot. I determined that the fan that vents the box is operating. I removed the metal panel cover on the 110 volt side the converter and di...

Barb & Ken, I got the idea for the menu when we traveled through Chicken, AK and Oatmeal, TX. Last year when we evacuated for Katrina, we passed near Two Egg, FL. That did it. Initially I used my atlas, and found many of the food names there. On the Internet the searching was easier, but some of...

Since my last post got me in hot water with the forum, I thought I would try humor to redeem my reputation! AN ALL AMERICAN MENU (Taken from cities and towns across the U.S.) BREAKFAST: Hot Coffee (MS), Two Egg (FL), Bacon (IN) and Toast (NC) Children’s Menu: Cocoa (FL) with Oatmeal (TX) or Cereal...

On many trips with our 2001 BF RSB we encounter rainy, muddy roads. The rear duals tend to throw mud, dirt, (and road tar) onto the lower panels behind the wheels in spite of the factory installed mud flaps. While this is a maintenance/cleaning problem, on my particular model the door to the propane...
