That is why I want to change mine. I keep a baggie of insulation impregnated with insect poison to stuff in the area around the cord to keep insects out.

Anyone updated a 30 amp wireing harness?

I am thinking about taking the power cord off my old Keystone Cougar and updating it to a 30 amp receptacle. Has anyone had a socket like this? It looks like Journeyman-Pro is the only one that...

The water has to go somwhere.

Yes, if the tank is overfilled it will probably leak out somewhere. My keystone cougar backs up into the shower but also starts dripping on the ground before that happens. I watch the tank and dump...

Drain and blow out

I drain the lines, fresh water tank and water heater. Then I blow out the lines with compressed air.

Those look like good generators but they also weigh almost 100lbs. I wouldn't want to have to lift one of those in an out of the back of my pickup.

I saw that Yamaha Generator at Costco for online for $449. but it is only rated at 1600 watts running. I don't know if it would run my ac and I don't want to buy 2 of them.

Thanks, good to hear.
I don't plan on boon docking for long periods of time in the heat. But it would be nice on occasion or when the power goes out in the campsite you are staying.

Good point. I did go to Angel Fire this last July. However we ran the heater at night as it got down in the 40's. Ran the AC during the day but we were hooked up to a dry dock.

However you go, use the blue rout through Eagles Nest and not the Grey that Google Maps may recommend. The Grey route is too dangerous for pulling a trailer. If you call the RV Park and ask they...

Yea, my 2500HD does great pulling our 306BHS but it is only a 10,000lbs trailer (just under fully loaded). I am thinking the truck may be overkill especially If I traded to a smaller trailer.
