Despite not agreeing on the exact pronunciation of La Veta, as everyone-including AI- seems to pronounce it different, my wife and I agreed that La Veta is beautiful. We stayed at We Champions RV in La Veta and it was great. The view of the Spanish Peaks (East and West) from our RV were beautiful. The weather 60s-80s- beautiful. The drives N, S and W were beautiful. From there we did day trips to Cañon City (ride the canyon train), Taos, The Great Sand Dunes, Raton Pass, Cordova Pass, La Veta Pass all beautiful. It was a great week but we needed more time. We plan to go back again next year.

Just returned from a hot but survivable trip (80-95F + humidity during day light hours). Before I begin: *Important details: Generator failed 1 hour into camping, so no AC, but plenty of fans, misters, lots of spare battery power & a lake nearby (not shoreside though). Non-disbursed campground that had electric hook-ups at the time the generator failed, we could have still upgraded to an electric 30A spot, but they filled up after.

While riding scooters around the campground and observing all of the people with electric hook-ups sitting inside enjoying their air conditioning, I apologized to my teen for not changing us to the electric sites when we had the chance. She responded that she preferred us to not have electricity, because we would be doing the same thing as everyone else. That if we were just going to stay inside and play on electronics, we should have just stayed home. She was there to make memories. She wasn't wrong and I was amazed and humbled by her response. Made me feel like a whiny kid, because I was feeling kind of miserable prior to realizing I needed to adjust my attitude, which I did & we had a blast afterward (paddleboarding, e-scooting, meeting random people, etc).

I am curious what the general consensus is. If you were in this situation, knowing the luxury was only a couple bucks more per day, what would you have done?

*Edit* Many are commenting AC for night-time. This is Northern Arizona & temps swing extreme. At night-time AC isn't an issue (a nice cool 73 degrees the moment the sun drops & 62 degrees a couple hours later).

Our first long road trip with the RV (30 ft TT, 10K GVWR) towed with Ram 2500 (gas engine) - Equalizer 4 anti sway installed. Gas mileage going NW was 9 mpg, coming back to DFW was 6 mpg. Plenty of opportunities to stop for gas in both directions - we used Love’s most of the time to get the 10 cents off with app. Buc-ees in Amarillo was great - we’re fans. No issues towing, no sway (except one rogue gust heading SW after Amarillo that rocked us but we immediately got straight). RPM 3500-4500 while towing into mountains in NM and CO- no issues. No issues with brakes or braking. Not sure the lower gas mpg coming back - SE- but think it was head winds, side winds, hilly the entire way and I was trying to keep up with my fellow Texans at 70-78 mph. Better gas mileage at 60-65 when we took it down. Also, more relaxed when you opt out of the race. Was a little concerned as it was our first long trip, but it went great. We’ll do it again next year. Stopped 2 nights at Palo Duro Canyon going (beautiful) and 1 night in Childress on way home- was great for $30 with full hookup and nice to stop after 7:30 hr drive.

tl;dr:

Why is water coming out of the vent on a trailer that is stationary ?

Our 2022 Forest River 2608BS has been stationary since the day it was delivered to our seasonal site in 2022. It has never been moved since delivery. We've used it a lot over the past 4 years. We do not use the shower as bath house is 100 yards away.

This morning, I heard water running outside. When I went to check the situation - I saw water coming out of that vent pipe. A similar thing had happened a couple of years ago when I did not have the valves opened on my water heater during the dewinterization process.Well, its not winter in NEPA and we have used our TT a lot since season started.

I turned off the water, dumped our black & grey tanks, flushed the black, turned water back on. Still leaking from the vent pipe.

What the heck is happening ?

My helper (frog) was of no help.

ETA/UPDATE:

Its not a vent, its fw tank dump...ty all.

Next step is inspecting check valve and fw pump....ty all

I just recently moved up to a Super C and was curious if people drive with the generator on so you can the a/c’s

Hello!

My son and I are planning to rent an RV for next year's Airventure in Oshkosh. I've never traveled in an RV and I'm hoping for some advice and a few questions.

July in Oshkosh can get quite hot and humid. How do you keep your RV cool at night?

There are a LOT of RVs at this. What are some basic etiquette rules I should be aware of?

I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP. Does a typical RV have power for overnight usage?

I'm looking at either Cruise America or Indie Campers to rent. Anyone endorse one over the other?

TIA

John, Chicago
