Discamper 394 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 A fully charge battery just sitting will discharge over a few months. I installed a battery switch on my TT and I also use a trickle charge on them all the time. You can keep a trickle charge on your batteries all the time without hurting them. I also use the battery switch to turn off the house battery when I camp. I have found the house converter keeps charging the batteries even when they are fully charged and burns them out very fast.

Discamper 394 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I always empty my fresh water tank when traveling at 8.38lb per gal and 40gal tank = 335lb unneeded weight. I do carry a gal jug of water to flush the toilet when on the road. I also only keep about a gal of water and chemical in my black tank and nothing in my gray tank.

Sunshine Camper 1 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Bring a fan in the late spring, summer and early fall months. We have a portable one IN the TT and a full size one OUTSIDE the TT. It makes a long day outside more relaxing.If they ever bring back FTW logo merchandise get a shirt for the whole family. My kids are almost grown out of their t-shirts (I need more). We pick a day to wear them as a family. Its so much fun and the pictures are great. SO come on Disney-this Mom needs new shirts! :)When we camp for a week or more or at Thanksgiving-I purchase food before we leave home (25 mins. away). We make a grocery run to Walmart (off of SR 535) about at the half way point of the week. Then of course, dh has to go to Camping World which is just a hop skip and a jump from there. WM is one stop shopping-especially down by Disney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Check the PSI on your tire and tire before every time you go on a trip. I hope the Board make is a page or so everyone can see it. Today I was checking on my TT and I saw a TT coming back not good. The right side had a Tire blowout taking out the finder and some of the side of the TT and it also took out the mounting bracket and the upright of the awning. So check our tires all the time.

Roberta 42 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 The cm at the meadows told me that they were told not to fill the lifetime mugs I quickly told her that if my friend with her mug showed up, they had better or they were going to get an earful! :banana:Guess which friend I was talking about?:rofl2:?Well I sure want to know! Whoever it is, I want to schedule my vacation at the same time as her. I don't have enough nerve to use my lifetime mugs, I need some back-up. :dance: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Change your key locks to your hatches to you outside compartments. I was at my RV storage today and the manager came up to me and told me that lots of RV outside compartment had their valuables stolen a few days ago. The people that did not break into them they just used a key (if you don’t know most RV companies use the same key for outside compartments) I switched my to a barrel type key when I first got my TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Camper refrigerators can get full quick. Bring a small 110V mini fridge for extra room. It can go under the camper or under the awning. Some even have keyed locks to prevent the otters from stealing beers. PureTcrazy...rita 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
