I found a 2019 Coach House Platinum with a Ford diesel engine 5 cyl, AWD, HP185, 3.2 L, 6 speed trans. I've read good and bad reviews of the MB vs Ford engines. Also, MB Sprinter vs Ford Transit chassis. Please give me feedback/reviews. I'm looking for dependable since I will not not be...
I am interested in either model: 17B or 19. I don’t have a lot of hard and fast requirements with the exception of thermal windows (either frameless or acrylic).
I am able and willing to travel to any location in the US.
I prefer a trailer 2016 and newer, although I would consider...
Trying to pick the correct flat tow set up for my 2026 Wrangler; I am thinking Roadmaster Falcon, extra charge line, the braking system has me stymied as I have had invisabrake for 15 yrs and now contemplating Roadmaster Breakmaster. Will someone out there please enlighten me to the pluses and...
Hi Folks. I have since 2018 spent most of my time on IRV2 in the Class A forum as we have a 41ft DP. The size has always been an issue for my wife (too Big!) and after several bad tow experiences in 2023 and 2024 with our then new 2023 Equinox we really have not used it. We decided to sell and...
About 3 years ago we traveled East from Needles to Kingman on interstate 40. It was the worst paved road we have ever been on. We are traveling that way again this summer and would like to know if repairs have been made or if we should consider another route
320 MKS owners are you happy with this unit or regrets. We haven't done the financing yet that is this Monday. Im thinking we should have gone with the 337RLS. Thoughts please.
I think we could change units if we have not signed financing yet. My hubby likes the 320 me not so much.

Hello,
We have an E19 with a Dometic noise generator.. We're looking to upgrade to a quieter AC this spring.
The essential question: 9.5K or 13.5K?
Our use case:
- Trailer use within in Canada. This means hot in the summer, but not 'Grand Bend' hot. We are rarely out in temperatures above 35...
I know this is a skoolie forum, so I expect it to be biased, but I'm wondering what peoples opinions are of the advantages/disadvantages between the three.
Whatever I go with, planning on it being medium duty based but relatively small (under 30ft total length). Medium duty based meaning a lug...
I’m looking to get my first slide in camper in the coming weeks and from the extensive research I’ve done, and what is available and in my price range I’m looking at 84-86 Fleet or a 98 Granby.
I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra 4.7L V8, air bags, upgraded brakes, may get a rear sway bar in the...
I know this has been discussed plenty but my search didn't turn up anything newer than 2018 . Time for new tires for my 21c and looking for real world advice and experience. I know goodyear endurance is everyone's go to . I'm replacing all 5 tires and want to add tpms , Discount tires is my...
In less than 2 years I’ll be retiring from federal service. My wife and I are looking forward to full-timing after retirement. We are torn between keeping our 2020 Nash 23D, which we love, or “upgrading” to a larger travel trailer, likely another Northwood or ORV model.
Our 23D has been the...
Im towing a 18 ft travel trailer now with a 4X4 Colorado pickup. Works fine but a bit rough on today's highways.
Thinking of moving up to a 6000lb to 8000lb , 24-26 ft travel trailer and full size pickup.
Thinking of a 1/2 ton truck but some will say go for the 3/4 ton one. If the 1/2 ton meets...
My Transit Connect toad is getting older (10 yrs & 200K miles) and I'm pretty tired of using a tow dolly. I do need a lot of storage space for my tools when working and our dogs when travelling, and it's nothing short of amazing to see how much that little truck really holds. Based on that and...
Hi everyone,
I’ve been planning my transition from apartment and home rental living into a fully off-grid bus conversion for the past few years. I don’t have the bus yet, but I’ve been designing layouts and researching systems, and I’m leaning toward either a shuttle bus or a Mercedes Vario.
I’m...
Oh no! Another gas vs diesel thread? I hope not and don't intend to take it there.
The situation: I am in the process of finding a new truck. I am a gas guy as anyone that has read my posts knows, but... With the 5th wheel I moved to a 1 ton truck. I found finding the one I have (took a...
Hello everyone. We are planning our around the country, 5 month tour, in our 45" DP. We have 7 free days to get from Rapid City, SD to Birchwood, WI. Any suggestions on where to stop along our way for a few days? Thank you for your help!
Hi everyone, I’m 65 and living here in the States. My wife and I are planning to start our full-time RV journey in about 2 years when I retire. We’re aiming to stay on the road for at least 10 years, so we’ve been busy downsizing.
Our budget is around $80,000, and I’m torn between two options...
I'm getting ready to upgrade from wet to lithium batteries. I see most people sometimes to settle on 2x or more 100AH batteries. I guess what I'm confused about is why 2x100's and not 2x200's or even 2x300's. Realize side and cost could be the reasons but what else. I don't hear of AH affecting...
I have a question about what RV I should take on a trip to New Mexico in April and May. My concern is parking at National Monuments and/or in towns. I have a pickup camper (F-250 diesel, 24 feet long by 8 feet wide) and a travel trailer (19 feet long) towed by a Chevy Colorado. My concern is...
Soooooo , a lot of reading and research has already been done including all the posts here on iRV2 as well as viewing the vast number of Will Prouse videos . My current 2000W Xantrex inverter is compatible and programmable to lithium , my battery box handles 2 -100ah Group 31 AMG batteries . I...
We’re doing our first trip out west to Yellowstone in September. We’re only staying for 4 full days then heading back east. I currently have 2 reservations for the same dates. One is at Fishing Bridge and the other is at Yellowstone Holiday RV park. Has anyone stayed at both of these and which...
Afternoon all. First time caller from Louisville.
This past fall we sold our 32’ TT and are looking at purchasing a MY26 Cougar 364BHL Midnight Edition. We are a young family of 6 + a 1 yo lab pup. This will be our first 5er so really looking forward to the space. We just simply outgrew our TT...
Hey looking to start building a camper.
I have these 2 in mind to build off of.
1: aluminum 5x8
2: 5x8 former pop-up camper
They are both $350, would either of these work? If so, which would you buy and why?
I plan on using a wood frame for my camper. Pretty minimalist but would like to...
