Real world experience going 40+ ft.
I am currently in a 36’ bumper pull. We are toying with the idea of going bigger, we have 3 kids and it seems all the ones we actually like are 40-42’. How difficult is it to get sites for that size?
We like taking longer trips and do all kinds of parks, state parks, private parks and harvest hosts, we’re already too big for most National Park CG so that won’t change.
Does anyone regret going bigger? I have a 3500 DRW so plenty of capacity for most rigs

2026 Keystone Bullet 21RKC - Water leaking from enclosed underbelly. Tankless water heater?
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s going on with our 2026 Keystone Bullet 21RKC.
We noticed a steady stream of clean water dripping from the enclosed underbelly (Coroplast) near the middle of the trailer. The water isn’t coming from an obvious drain tube. It looks like it’s collecting somewhere above the underbelly and then finding its way out through a seam or opening.
Here’s what we’ve already ruled out:
We were connected to city water (not using the fresh water tank).
We were using a water pressure regulator.
The RV has an on-demand/tankless water heater.
An RV tech filled the gray tank and said the gray tank isn’t leaking.
We were not intentionally draining any tanks.
From what I’ve read, I’m wondering if this could be:
A leak at the tankless water heater (inlet/outlet fittings)
A faulty pressure relief valve
An internal leak in the tankless water heater
Another fresh water plumbing leak that’s running across the top of the enclosed underbelly before dripping out
Has anyone with a 2026 Keystone Bullet (or another Keystone with the Girard tankless water heater) experienced something similar?
If so:
What ended up being the cause?
Did the dealer have to drop the enclosed underbelly to find it?
Was it covered under Keystone warranty?
I’m concerned because I don’t want water sitting inside the enclosed underbelly and soaking the insulation or causing damage.
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

question Tire monitoring
A couple ?'s. Ive got the Guta monitoring system on my 5th wheel. When rolling down the road i see my temperatures running in the mid 90s, all wheels are within a couple degrees of each other, it seems fine. What would be a dangerous level temperature here? Next is my tire pressure. My 100# max tire pressure goes up to 110-113 when traveling. What gives here? The tire guy specifically told me 100# cold.

Internet on the road - better than $60/month?
google.comHowdy all!
I'm looking for options I may have missed; best I have found so far is $60/month for UMaxx Cellular internet.
I'm in a TT, I travel all over the USA for work, I need 10+ MBps for solid video calling while working with project files, I want unlimited since I don't actually know how much data I use in a month, and I dream of a day when I could also ask for good customer service.
I already own a FWA55V5L so if I could re-use that, I'm game, otherwise, something decicated to this task with an ethernet port out is needed.
I had straight talk for $35/month for a long time, but I had billing failure issues so many times that I finally left.
I tried Visible Home Internet; it's slow, very jumpy, and often stops altogether 3-10 times a day for a minute to five minutes at a time.
I've found lots of options out there, narrowed them down to what appears to be real (looking at your, Ryoko) and now sorting by price.
I realize cellular service isn't available/great everywhere, but I rarely have issues with that, so for now, I'm sticking with cell.

Show me your workspace!
I’m getting ready to work remotely from an RV, so I’m looking for ideas from anyone who’s made a small workspace or pc gaming setup actually work… whether that’s in an RV, van, tiny home, or just a really small office.
I’d love to see pictures of your setup, especially if you’ve figured out a way to use two or more monitors without everything feeling cramped.
I’d also love to hear any tips or things you wish you’d known when setting up your workspace. What ended up being worth it? What wasn’t?
Just looking for ideas and inspiration before I start putting everything together. Thanks!

question BAL Accu-Slide
Ok, I’ve posted before about my slide being stuck and swapping the motor and having binding. Now my other slide is frozen. Motor and gearbox is good. Switch is good. A a bottom in cable was out when I manually extended the slide. Cable is still in line with pulley and was able to go back into the bracket. Replaced the grommets with new ones to keep them in. So I go to adjust and still nothing. My out adjustment brackets were maxed out so I followed BALs instructions to get slack. Still nothing. WTF do I do now?

RV Towing
I recently retired and plan to pull a TT or 5W for 2-3 months during the winter with wife and shepherd. Been looking at units 29-32 feet but have concerns about length. I have GMC 2500 but have only pulled a utility approximately 10 ft long. I am not really satisfied with sub 25 footers but is the longer lengths too much for a first timer? BTW I understand the weight limits and plan to stay 80% to 85% below payload, hitch, etc limits.

question Dually valve extensions
Two part question. For reference the RV is a 1996 E-350 chassis w/hubcaps.
Can you recommend a good valve stem extension that doesn't leak?
Does the outer tire have to come off to get the extension on? Can't see any other way.

advice Unattended sleeping kids
Hi all! I hope this is an okay place to post this question.
I am visiting my mom with my two little ones (1 &2.5 yo) this weekend and plan to stay in their RV, which sits in their driveway a couple hundred feet from the house. I plan for them to nap and initially go to bed at night without me. I am pretty stressed about this as it’s just not something I’m used to. Besides locking the doors and having the monitor on and with me at all times, what safety precautions can I take ? The RV will not be hooked up to any gas, just electricity turned on, there is a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector, and they live in a safe neighborhood.
Please help calm my very anxious mind! Thanks in advance!
Editing to add: I will sleep overnight with them! It will just be about 90 minutes- 2 hours until I join them after they go to sleep.

advice GA summer storage for two months, vents open?
I’ll be leaving my rig in all-day partial shade from trees, but the heat and humidity are still brutal. So it’ll be a trade off between the two. I can’t run the A/C all the time bc of power constraints (15a is all that’s available). I was going to just leave the events wide open (with Maxxair covers) to alleviate the heat, but then I’m letting all the humidity in. So is it better to close vents to keep moisture out and just let the heat rise? I’ve got a little dehumidifier and two buckets of Damprid. But vents open and they’ll be full in a few days and do no good. What would y’all do?

EverChill RV Fridge Aftermarket
My wife and I have a SunRay that came with a EverChill 4.5 cft fridge/freezer. It's more than we want and more than we want to power off battery. We hope to replace it with aa smaller 3.3 and gain some shelf space. Just curious...is there an aftermarket for selling our now-not-used 4.5?
As an aside, this is my first RV and I am astounded at the cr@ppy build quality, especially the electrical connections. My roof solar never worked until I found a staple shorting the PV inputs from the roof! Just 1 of 10 or so mfg. problems I have found.,

diy Upgraded old stove loud clicky-clanky spark to electric spark...
This just popped in my head when starting my gas grill, that Magic Chef stove ignitor is so loud, clanky, and awkward to turn.
Quick Amazon search rewarded me this for around $10 next day delivery. Universal AA power sparker. I did have to modify the stove by drilling a bigger hole slightly above the hole where the knob was but cheap unibit made short work of it. They use the unibit to scratch the paint off the inside for it to make good contact.
Took about 10 minutes all and all
Tools used was 1/4 impact driver (because that's what i had), unibit from Amazon or Harbor Freight, and pliers to squeeze the round connector into a flat connector

question What's one RV purchase you thought was overpriced until you actually bought it?
I've been making a spreadsheet of upgrades instead of impulse buying everything.
A lot of RV gear seems ridiculously expensive until someone who's actually used it says, "Nope, worth every dollar."
I'm more interested in things that improved day-to-day life than flashy gadgets.
What's one purchase you thought was overpriced but would immediately buy again?
And what purchase turned out to be a complete waste?

Anyone ever have issues planning trips with friends, or your wife? lol
Sometimes (often lol) we change our minds and completely book or plan a new route just to change it again. What if I could compare those trips on the same map so we can compare first hand the travel time, distance, weather of each stop along our trip.
So I built a "Compare to" feature to do just that.
This is also great to compare to your rv friends trips and easily coordinate hanging out again. Because we all know how hard that is.
Thanks again to everyone who provided feedback before. It’s noted and I will continue to make the best Roam Planner for us all (FOR FREE) 😊

question 2021 CrossRoads RV Zinger Lite ZR259FL
To anyone who owns this camper, What is your opinion on it? Im looking to possibly get one in the next 6 months or so.
The layout looks perfect for what im looking for, and the weight seems great for my silverado 1500.
Im new to campers too. Is this thing okay to use in the heat and the cold? Some of the videos I saw on it made me think so.

discussion Eddie Bauer 2024 Coach (Thor)
Highly considering this and I’ll tell you why;
Comfortable seats, as the driver I can sit high enough without feeling too high or too low. Can see the entire road ahead, seemingly few blind spots.
The seating booth! Love to have a proper little table. Again, comfortable seats and can convert into a bed.
Above cab bed! With a window, privacy curtain, and roof vent/fan. All great.
Kitchen is just big enough. Tiny oven. Really decent sized fridge. 3 burners and a microwave. What more could you need?
Back bedroom, really comfortable mattress. Privacy curtain. Nice windows with blinds. About a full sized bed which is perfect. Queen/King is luxurious but we’re used to 2-person tents so this is an upgrade.
Bathroom!! Honestly my favorite part. *diagonal toilet* and shower with a dome overhead for taller folks PLUS product shelving. So many RV’s get the bathroom wrong. I can usually fit, but at 5’5, if I feel cramped, my 6ft partner will definitely be cramped.
Singular solar panel. And only about 22 ft long, no slide. She’s small but incredibly spacious imo. And tbh, I don’t know if I’d be confident driving anything much larger.
I know there are some heavily mixed reviews on Thor. My partner is a contractor/handyman so I’m not terribly concerned about replacing cabinet pulls and such. We probably won’t use it all that often. Perhaps a cross country trip in the future, but mostly sticking to the east coast. 4-13 hour drives a few times a year. I’m hoping to hear some positives from folks who have gone with Thor (or Eddie Bauers by Thor!) as well as some good-to-knows and check-this-first from those who have negative feedback (productive comments!).
For the record, I did also fall in love with a 2015 Mercedes but it’s bigger and the entire floor has water damage/needs to be replaced, and the fridge was teeny tiny and moldy. No center cup holders either! I toured about 10 different RV’s recently and the EB Thor seems to tick my most important boxes (comfortable in driver seat/good visibility, booth seating with table, over cab bed, comfortable bathroom.)
Let’s hear it! Thanks everyone!!
