New from Ontario

Hi,

We just purchased a new 2017 305RL. We traded our Crossroads product for it. We had a lot of trouble with the Crossroads trailer, so we are hoping we have a better quality product now.

We are not new to the RV lifestyle, we are just new to Montana.

We are retirees who spend winters in the RV in Florida, take multiple short trips throughout the year, and every two years, a long trip. Last year we went to Alaska. We take our cat with us when we travel. We own a house in the country and are able to park the trailer in our driveway, which is so nice.

First, I have a general question. Our former trailer was 30 amp, this one is 50 amp. We have a 30 amp surge protector. There are some campsites we go to that only have 30 amp service, and some that have 50 amp. What do most people do - carry two surge protectors?

Also, and this one is more specific, we notice that the rear jacks (it has auto leveling) are quite low. Does this present a hazard when crossing some railroad tracks or driving through some uneven areas? I don't even want to think about all those annoying curbs they have to put in so many places, especially parking lots. Other people's experiences would be helpful here.

Thanks for the add. I learned a lot when I was on the Crossroads forum, and I was also able to contribute my share. I hope to be able to continue this exchange on this forum.

By the way, I am the female member of the team. Hubby does the maintenance, I do the domestic stuff, and we both drive the rig.
