RE: Let's chalk it up to stupidity
Thanks for all the humour. Made for a good laugh. Towels and a hair dryer to dry the carpet. Luckily it's a hide-a-bed sofa so I was able to move it out. Lol. I usually have a couple moments of stupidity throughout the season this year just started a little early. :)

Let's chalk it up to stupidity
Well it's the first weekend in the new TT. It's been an interesting day. Turns out this Tt is a lot higher than my last one. The deck is too( we are parked seasonally). So the plans were to take the 11 yr old & 3 yr old to the CG for the weekend. I was smart enough to plan for new stairs, measure, Pre cut & bring the lumber and tools. It's challenging to do anything with a toddler. Fast forward stairs are finished, supper finished. So I decided to watch a movie with the 3yr old. Of course I forgot them all so a quick trip to the store is easy. Getting in the car it started to rain. In my hastiness I forgot to close the windows on the side. Well downpour starts and it's almost unbelievable. Arrive back at the CG and I decide to give the little one a bath. She was in the tub & I look over to see water coming in the window and the carpet at the end of the sofa is soaked. Well after a couple towels to soak up everything I feel pretty stupid. So lesson learned, take a breath close the windows and there won't be a mess to clean up later. Chalk it up to stupidity! If there are any spelling errors blame it on the iPhone. Cheers!

RE: Hybrid Seasonal Tips/Tricks?
I have used a HTT as a seasonal camper. You have to look at your campground, the thing that most people mentioned to me was security. If you feel that your campground is safe and you are familiar with your neighbours then security is not an issue. As far as worrying about leaving the bunk ends out and damage to the canvas. Drive by any rv dealership and you will see that TT and HTT's both are set up and open for the season. Really they all use sunbrella on the bunk ends now anyways. I left mine out for the season, ultimately my HTT was written off but it had nothing to do with the bunk ends(leaking water line). Clean your ends from time to time. Good luck with your season, enjoy the ease of seasonal camping.

RE: Water heater won't work on electric
Yes its is replaceable. You can buy them from an rv place for about 15$. Go to Home Depot and buy the element replacement tool about 5$. Very simple to replace it.

RE: TV Mounting help or suggestions
Thanks for all the suggestions. I am thinking I may modify the entertainment centre maybe remove the upper cabinet above the tv space. Get a swing arm tv mount. The only time my slide will be in is at the end of the season. We have done seasonal camping for the last few years.

TV Mounting help or suggestions
Just bought a 2006 Pilgrim 312bhss. The entertainment centre is designed to fit a 19/20 inch CRT tv. I have a 26" lcd that I would like to put there. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could do this? Thanks

RE: 2006 Pilgrim 312bhss
Thanksfor the reply, I dont plan on towing mine, I have it parked at campground. I am glad to hear that you didn't have any issues. I like the layout and it seems like a solid unit. I will be taking another look at it tonight and will check out the water heater size and brand. My first trailer had an atwood 6gal and it seemed to have an ample supply of hot water, the current one has a suburban and I can say I am not a fan.
