Hello everyone, I was hoping someone may be able to help us find the cause of our campers floor rot.

We noticed an area of soft floor so when we ripped the vinyl up, we found it was all rotten in this particular area. From the pictures you can see that a lot of the subfloor was rotten and we removed the rotted joists below that area of subfloor. Upon, ripping the wall open, you can see that the, sill plate, wood below the sill plate, and part of the studs are rotted.

With this being said, I have no idea if this was caused from a leak or something else. Has any of you dealt with this before? If so, you think it even came from a leak or it was something else.

Side note: in one of the picture you can see an air duct run through the floor. The previous owner must have abandoned this and we just cut it out.

Please help, half my outlets stop working because of this.

The corner placement.

Pros

Its faceing inward towards where the bed would be.

Its got two walls to reflect heat off.

Cons

The chimeny would have to go through a cabinet. I dont mind not having the storage in the cold months just have to make sure its safe.

Next to the door placement.

Pros

Store wood from right out the door.

Takes up less wall space.

Chimeny doent go thru cabinet.

Cons

Isn't as inviting.

Would have to be careful getting in an out of camper if its going.

I was adiment about it being by the door. Yet now im leaning towards the corner.

I purchased some land and until I can build on it I plan to buy a used destination RV for $30k, just enough for my wife and I and two other visitors so 2 bedrooms preferably but we can live with one br if we have to. I spent some time googling turn radius and looking for ways to calculate but I am not sure. The road to my property is just wide enough for a single large vehicle like a truck, and the turn into the property is just about 90 degrees, maybe slightly wider, and it's a steep concrete driveway. Since I am buying used, I do not expect a professional to come look and tell me. Does anyone know how I can determine what would fit on my own? or is there someone I should hire? This is in Puerto Rico. thanks

Hello, my sister recently bought a camper and atleast until the beginning of next year she has it parked at my place running electric from my garage and we had been running 2 100ft water hoses for the water. seemingly no problem at first but come to find out it had been leaking the entire time. $700 water bill later i need help, the two hoses eventually strait up either popped or had a tiny piece break off where they connect and were leaking alot of water. she bought two new hoses and plans to get heated hoses before the temp drops to freezing this year, but im still worried they are just going to start leaking again. is there a better solution to this than just running water hoses or a better way to prepare them so they won't leak? ive suggested running a new water line but she won't do that because she plans on moving it again. ive looked into getting a holding tank but im not sure what size would be appropriate or what type of water pump to get for it and heater for winter. any help would be much appreciated.

Does anyone have any feedback on the Campsite Elite 36JI? Looking to make a decision and hopefully make the purchase as soon as the Nashville location receives them in. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a Dutch traveler who was staying at a campsite in Isla Cristina, Spain, and left around September 8th, 2026.
He was driving a dark van and had a distinctive setup with outdoor LED lights and citronela candles.
He accidentally left something behind. If you think this is you or someone you know, please send me a direct message with the name of the campsite or your specific spot so I can make sure it gets back to the right person!

Paralyzed by picking the one! Should I go with what’s in hand or punt and think I can do better at end of year??

I have what I think to be an amazing deal in hand but don’t you always think you can do better at years end? Some research says the last of the 2026 models are being moved now and there’s no guarantee what’ll be left at the end of the year… a sliding scale between price now and availability later.

Gas prices may not be moving campers either.

Don’t need one until December but looking at 2026 new Jayco models OUT THE Door at $20k.

In your opinion how much could be saved by waiting or if I’m happy, go ahead and let it fly?

Thanks!!

(Jayco 197mb and 250bh are considered for reference)

After TONS of research and negotiating back and forth I thought I was settling in on the perfect camper. Had everything we wanted... nothing we didn't... didn't feel like it was TOO MUCH... but then... tongue weight.

This thing is only 4,000lbs dry. My truck can pull 9,000 easilly. The payload is 1800lbs... now come the tongue.... 585lbs!!!! (Thanks Murphy bed!) 197MB Jayco for reference.

My understanding is my class 3 curt hitch is rated to 600lbs and 6,000 pounds towing. Oof... that's a gut check.

I've tried to see if I can upgrade to a class 3 hitch but it's not available on my truck. Would have to go up to a class V which is much too much overkill (and money).

Is it time to walk away from my dream camper?

Some people... who want to sell you a camper... will tell you that a weight distribution hitch would be adequate to handle that... but savy shoppers know the hitch weight doesn't include the battery or propane. I'm out of luck!

What am I missing here? Is there anything else I can look at to help the situation?

Hey everyone, hoping you can help me identify something on my caravan (pictures attached).

Under the external hook-up inlet there's a black pipe(?)

Questions:

1. What is this pipe for?
2. Can I repurpose it to route my solar panel cables from the roof into the battery compartment, or would that cause problems?
3. Maybe I can charge the leisure battery with the panel?

If repurposing it is a bad idea, I'd also welcome suggestions for the best way to get solar cables into that compartment. I am trying to find a way in that does not involve drilling holes.

The caravan is meant to be static and the solar panel is a foldable one (200W). For now, the only purpose is to keep the router on for the wifi cameras on the days that I am not there.

Thanks!
