I hope your family is doing okay!

I hope all my fellow Floridians and those effected in South Carolina are doing okay. We got over 12 inches of rain in our area so flooding was terrible. Luckily we only had a roof leak but many have flooded homes. Prayers to all, especially in SWFL. My pop up was safely tucked away in the...

Thank you so much for the tips! We are in central FL so hoping it doesn’t stall on top of us like I heard Charley did. We filled up the cars with gas today, got extra propane, bread, canned food. Luckily my boys could live off peanut butter so we should be okay. Sadly I drug my feet buying a...

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely check out the website.

Thank you so much! We are loving it here. A little stressed about the potential hurricane next week but it was only a matter of time!

Thank you! We are looking forward to exploring Georgia!

Thanks! I’ll add them to my list. We are in central FL. I’m struggling also with State parks allowing reservations 1 year out. I need to change my thinking and plan ahead better. I miss going camping on a whim like when I was a kid.

We bought our Rockwood 1940 LTD in 2021 and had an amazing summer/fall camping all over the Midwest. Fall hit and we had an opportunity to move to Florida from Illinois and then I got pregnant with our 4th. Sadly with all the craziness of moving and pregnancy exhaustion we were only able to...

That’s a great idea! Did the heat warp them at all?

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m pretty new to the portal but I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts and hearing about your mother. I will be thinking of you during this difficult time.

Hi Dave! Congrats on your new camper! I followed the instructions here. https://forestriverinc.help/#/forestriverrv/guide/2021/1321-rockwood-camping-trailer/search/articles/content/publication-35-en_us-multiple-710283 One thing it doesn’t mention is sanitizing the hose. I sanitized at home so...

Thank you all so much for the info! I’ll be researching installing a fan on the drive home. My dad used to call me jabber jaws so my husband may appreciate the research giving him some quiet. :smiley:

Good idea! I don’t want to admit how many times we’ve tried to drive away with a chock still in place. :(

Thanks for the info! I’ll look into installing a fan. It is brand new, but I do plan to keep an eye on it as I’ve read about critters liking to build nests in these compartments.

Thank you for the heads up! We have only used battery while driving as our TV is set up to charge. Have you ever heard of fridge depleting the TV battery while stopping for lunch etc? I’ve wondered if we should just unplug if it will be a longer stop.

Wow thanks! Nice thermometer too. I need one of those.

Thanks! We are actually using AC. Is it still okay it’s hottest at bottom of silver tube? We haven’t used propane yet as have had electric on trips so far.

Hi All, I apologize if this is a really dumb question. We leave for a trip tomorrow so turned the fridge (Dometic RM 2193) to AC to cool down. I noticed a few hours later it is hot by the vent covers. We look them off and the bottom of the silver tube (circled) is hottest (burns finger when held...

Thanks so much for the info! I had forgotten how bad mosquitoes can be in the south. The only thing good about our terrible winters is the minimal bugs in the summer. I’ll talk more to my husband and see what he thinks. Thank you!!

Thanks so much for the info! I will admit, outside of winter trips to FL, I haven’t been to a beach since Myrtle Beach as a kid. We have family in Huntsville so thought we could visit there and then go to Gulf Shores. I’d love to move south but definitely need to get used to the weather and...
