    Choosing Between Older Diesel Pusher or Newer Gas Class A for 10-Year Full-Time RVing

    Hi everyone, I’m 65 and living here in the States. My wife and I are planning to start our full-time RV journey in about 2 years when I retire. We’re aiming to stay on the road for at least 10 years, so we’ve been busy downsizing. Our budget is around $80,000, and I’m torn between two options...

    Replacing Dash AC With 12V System in Older Diesel Pushers: Feasibility and Costs

    Hi I own a 2005 Newmar Kountry Star 40ft DP. I do not need to go on the Newmar sub forum because I’m asking all of you with a DP whether they tried this route instead of fixing the existing dash AC issues. My dash AC stopped working. I think the compressor is shot (at minimum, I know the...

    Affordable Seat Belt Re-Webbing for Older Vans

    Currently doing a DIY build on a 2003 7.3L e350. In my latest post I talked about getting my seat belts re-webbed and it was suggested I do a standalone post as more than a few were interested. So here goes: I recently pulled my seatbelts and sent them in for re-webbing. They were standard...

    Where are all the older Fleetwood American Eagles, Traditions and Dreams?

    We are currently in South Padre Island Texas. We normally see a few older (96- 99) Fleetwood American Eagles, Traditions or Dreams in our travels.

    Just can’t buy new!

    My wife and I purchased this 2016 Cruiser Aire (two slide) new. Been looking at newer campers with king beds and outside kitchens which would be nice. But I swear I just can’t pull the trigger on anything because of all the problems and the horror story’s with poor built campers. So, I guess...

    Cold Older Fleetwood

    I am new to this forum, so forgive me if this question has already been asked somewhere. I have an older (2008) Fleetwood Revolution LE 42K. Anytime while driving in temperatures below 40 degrees, the dash heater will not keep up with the driver area keeping warm. I am considering adding...

    How can I get tv service to my older rv??

    So here's the situation. We just bought a 2013 Phoenix Cruiser 2910t coach. It has two tv's that use the old style exterior antenna. We have Starlink so we will be able to get internet to the coach and we had Dishnet on our old RV but don't want to hassle with that any more. So my question...

    Propane quick connect setup

    Trying to connect our older Coleman stove to the quick connect on our 17B (2024). Didn't work with the low pressure propane hose we bought. We think that was likely due to the stove its own regulator. So --- what to do? Would a new stove have a bypass to avoid the unnecessary regulator? Are...

    Aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring

    I am sure most of the newer SMB builds come with factory TPMS, but earlier builds don't. Our 2008 Ford E350 build did not, but we were very happy with the added aftermarket TPMS ....until it stopped working. It was years of good use, monitoring pressure and temperature, but when it went down...

    Theoretical question about handling

    Long time ago, I had the opportunity to purchase a really cheap full-size van, a Ford Econoline. Big empty box, without seats, was used only occasionally to go and get the supplies for my business. One time I filled it up with something all the way to the ceiling and overloaded this van...

    How to Find Specs and Floorplans for Older Forest River Pop-Up Trailers

    I'm just starting my search for a pop-up trailer and liking a few of the models Forest River has so far. The website only has details on 2025/2024 models. I don't see an Archives section, any suggestions on getting specs/floorplan, etc details for older models? Thanks
