After 40+ years of camping, I want to suggest that you always take - and keep - a reliable, decent drill/driver with you. (It doesn't have to be able to remove wheels lugs.) Also take adapters, screw...

Make sure the results will last longer than a few months. Try to find someone who's used a product more than once, and ask how often they've had to use it.

After degreasing and dewaxing, I dry sanded it with just enough pressure to create a haze. Having sanded many wood projects, it can be hard to resist the urge to lean on it and get quick results. But...

A few years ago we towed our 2015 FunFinder F210UDS under an overpass and it wasn't until I looked back that I realized I didn't know how close it was to the top of our A/C. So when we got home I...

Isolated low hot water pressure could be an indication of water heater sediment problems. Suggest you flush the water heater and see what sediment comes out. Also, if your water pump is still out,...

Slide-out keeps stalling

The #1 motor of the Schwintek slider on our 2015 Fun Finder F210UDS will only move in or out about 3-4 inches before stopping. The error code lights on the controller indicate a motor short - 8 red...

Are both the latch and deadbolt still locked after the door popped open? If so, I'd be inclined to think something is flexing an inordinate amount. Sounds goofy, but check that both the door and the...

Yes. Use treated 2x6's, cut them as tapered-end arches - 1-1/2" ends to maybe 2-1/2" at center. Make sure you get the fewest knots possible, or at least knots that fall outside your arch outline. And...

I've been looking at both AGM and gel batteries, but it looks as though I'd have to modify the wire terminals to connect to the different style battery posts.

That lithium charging temperature info is super good to know. The reasons I'm swayed toward the lithiums or gels are size and weight. As a rule we don't camp much below 40-50 degrees; below that and...

Batteries! Ugh!

It's that time. We've got to replace a 5-year old marine battery. We NE-VER boondock, so we don't need an $895 premium, platinum, 10000Ah, ultra-deep cycle, zippidy-do-dah battery. I've done the...

We've used the same oil-filled, radiator-looking space heater for years in our FF 210UDS. No motor, no noise - and though my wife loves it, it can make things uncomfortably warm for my taste. We're...

Hot Shower Anyone?

It didn't take us long to realize that the skylight over the shower in our '17 FF210UDS gave a whole new meaning to "hot shower". Not only was the shower unbearable at times, but it was raising the...

With some testing and applied properly, wraps can be clear coated. And most clear coats these days are non-yellowing.

I recently saw a front cap that had been wrapped in chrome. Eye-catching, to say the least, and more than a little dazzling. It sure was easy to see it coming at you. WOW!

If you wet the front cap with water and the faded brown color suddenly becomes dark and almost even, it's possibly that only the clear coat is shot. This year we gently sanded the clear coat away and...
