I am with Saltynuts on this one. I know there are plenty of conscientious trailer owners out there who depend on the E-Z Lube zerks, but even though I have Dexter E-Z Lube, I never use it. Remove...

No idea where the trailer is located, but in expensive SoCal, $8500 would be a great price for that model if it is in good condition and undamaged. If you live in RV country in or around the...

Of course, your specific trailer may have been built differently , but the roof construction of both of my 2006 and my 2012 x189s were the same. Each had a refrigerator vent cap that could be...

Sounds like the FF 189FBR. Our first TT was that same 2007 model. Great trailer in every way. We bought the FBS in 2012 when a slide became available. Loved the 7' width towing with a 4Runner.

Nice job! And you'll be glad you placed them so close to the side...much easier to wipe the dust and dirt off the panels.

Just another idea for that space. When I did my roof top solar install I brought the wires down through the refrigerator cabinet from the roof-top vent above. At that time, I seriously considered...

To save money I go with the least expensive battery option, the wet cell. Deep cycle, "golf cart" type batteries are the go-to option for many travel trailer owners. I bought my current set of two...

Great to continue seeing your Finding Fun pics. You always find great camp spots. We just returned from four days in Anza Borrego at the top of Yaqui Pass Road.
