I don't think that's correct. I'm assuming you're referring to the same, RV 50 amp outlet with two blacks, one white, one ground. If the two blacks are from different sides of the main block, then...

Most of everything already said is correct. Personally, I use regular bearing grease on the ball hitch, and the two small balls on either side of the sway bar. But, as mentioned, not the friction...

Assuming you're towing that with some kind of truck, I'd suggest you look for some potable water tanks you could keep in the truck. A 12V RV water pump and some hose would keep you from having to lug...

Assuming it is your converter, (above the tire, yes?), then I'll guess that they changed converters, and the new models were too large for the old space. If they couldn't go up, I guess they went...

Propane has a long shelf life; it doesn't go bad with a few months. It might even last years. I say fill them up. Consider them a source of heat if your power goes out. Either with the RV heater,...

After 4 1/2 years of EZ Lube

Since we bought the camper in Jan 2015, I have been an advocate of using the EZ lube axle bearings, and greasing them that way. Approximately every 5K miles, I've been pumping grease all the way...

Mostly we use it for frozen pizzas, and as you say, it can be "squirrely." However, I have done a turkey breast in a pan a couple of times, and it's always wonderful. Live and learn!

Revere, yes, that's it, alright! Mine did have the drain pan, but poorly installed. I traded the unit off four years ago. But this is a great addition to this post for those with this unit! Thanks!

Not true. Both home and 50 amp RV outlets use two hots. In a home, the two hots must be different legs, so the voltage across them is 220 volts. In an RV outlet, they can be the same or different,...
