RVision R Wagon Propane Tank Cover
Does anyone know the part number or type for this tank cover? My Mother's was damaged on her trailer and she needs to buy a replacement.

RE: Just venting
I am still paying for my camper, but I don't regret it. I have struggled every year to get out on trips. I am the mother of a high maintenance 15 year old girl :E I changed my whole approach this year. I sat down and started looking at the school calendar and booking sites over the summer. She is extremely active in band and rotc and will have multiple "camps" this summer. When I told her that I had a site scheduled for memorial day weekend she said "I hope I don't have anything planned." I just replied I hope you don't either because I would hate for you to miss it. Having said that I am finding I use my camper more and more to follow her. For example, she has an honor band on 8-10 May 4 hours from home. I am dropping her off and then going to the nearest state park until Saturday when I pick her up. I get some with the dogs and nature, she gets to do her thing. In 3 years she will go to college and I will use it then to be able to travel and see her. I'm not giving up my home away from home, like others here I look forward to camping with my grand kids some day. If it were me especially since it's paid for and all it's really costing you are tags and insurance I would hold on to it. Things change really quickly. I have booked 3 trips this summer already and plan to get some scheduled for the fall.

RE: I'm frustrated about where to camp this 4th of July!
Ohhh I got so lucky and was sooo happy. I have to share. I didn't book a spot for the 4th of July. Only been doing this a couple of years, and still don't really understand when reservations open up at the state and federal campgrounds or how to find the information. Anyway. I browsed reserveamerica for days trying to find a spot for the 4th of July and lucked out! I got a spot on what I assume was a cancellation at St. Andrews State Park right next to the lagoon in Panama City, FL. We will be close enough to the beach that we should be able to sit outside and watch the fireworks. I am sooo excited. We are also staying at Torreya State Park for Memorial Day. I've never been there either but it looks wonderful.

RE: Organizing front pass-through storage area
First I should say I'm a girl, so I don't have a huge tool collection in the RV :) however I did use the 3m hooks on the wall of the storage and put the fishing rods on them so they wouldn't get broken, and the cable line for easy access, and the water line as well. That's the only thing I added. Other than that I just try to put things away neatly. I do want to build a black water storage tube out of pvc to mount to the bumper just to get it out of there.

RE: Rest Stops/Truck Stop Layovers
I should also add that when we did this I introduced myself to the security staff to let them know I would be there and make sure it wasn't a problem.

RE: Rest Stops/Truck Stop Layovers
Well, we took a trip to Texas and stayed in the rest areas. We just picked the ones with security. It doesn't hurt our safety that we travel with two pitbulls and even though they wouldn't hurt anybody their bark is enough and nobody else knows they wouldn't hurt anybody. Having said that, it was noisy but no one bothered us and we weren't stopping until late into the night anyway.

RE: Would You Take It?
Well it's decided then I'll take them :D The real issue is removing the air conditioner.

Would You Take It?
Long story short, my neighbor has a camper that he traded a truck for thinking he would rebuild it. It's got leaks and needs to be gutted and rebuilt. He decided it's too much work. He did offer me both the new/installed but not used hot water heater and air conditioner. Would you take these things as spares in the event you needed them? He doesn't want me to buy them, he just offered them for free.

Slide Came Out of Inside Tracks
So one day I hope I will take a trip with the TT and it will be peaceful and I will come home relaxed and unworried. That's not what happened the last time. On the way to the campground the window was busted over the dinnette. OK that stinks but a little plastic and packing tape and I'm not going to let it worry me. Three days later I start breaking down to go home and guess what! I have a 2008 Skyline Malibu. The rear queen slide is manual. There are tracks inside. Their presumed purpose is to keep things lined up and to keep the slide from falling. I proved the falling part btw. It came out of the tracks!!! Never really did figure out how since it was hard as hades to get back on the tracks. I ended up being on the inside pulling while my 14 yo daughter pushed from the outside. She put the locking arms in place on the outside. I put a jack stand under it on the inside and we headed home. With help I got it back on the tracks when I got home. Has anyone else had this trouble? Are there adjustments that need to be made? Is it just a fluke that I shouldn't worry about on my trip to Tampa this weekend? Thanks in advance. And as a side note those windows are expensive. $150 to replace the small bottom portion of a camper window.

RE: How does one actually buy a TT?
We didn't really know anything about buying an RV when we bought ours. I will tell you that we looked for years, try 3 or 4 before we found one that made us confident enough to do it. And I didn't consider not seeing it. I would look online then go check it out. Having said that, I am now certain that I would have been much happier with a toy hauler, not for toys but as a place for the dogs to use when we go out. It doesn't matter though, I still love my camper and go out every time I get a chance.

RE: Wife's first setup on her own, am I forgetting anything?
Honestly, I usually oversee the setup when we go. If you run through it with her a few times and you're confident enough to send her on her own, I can't imagine it being that bad for her. Most of the time I am over cautious anyway so I don't do anything until I'm sure. Maybe you should run through it with her and let her make her own list.

RE: Black Water\Gray Water\ Holding Tank Level Float
Thanks all, we are going out this weekend yeah! I will fill the gray water or come close to it and see if the helps. We have filled the gray water tank before but not lately. I'll try the ice for the black water but how do I get ice in the gray water tank?

Black Water\Gray Water\ Holding Tank Level Float
I should say first off I am making an assumption here. I would think that the tanks have a float inside just like the gas tank on a car. My panel gives inaccurate information like the float is stuck. Is there anyway to check this or fix it without dropping the liner on the bottom of the TT?
