Thanks, Ron, I do plan to order those heavier catches/latches. Your little device over the handles is very cleaver. I'll try that too.

Hinge Trauma - 2009 19ft

Thanks for these links. I will be installing my 3rd set of hinges. Apparently the bounce-stresses in the trailer, weight (leverage) of the doors, coupled with weak, ineffective catches and weak metal...

Hi Dave,
As the guy that bought your 19, I appreciate that step. Best check them before rolling this summer.

At 76, I'm not sure I can live up to a bike map of the entire state of Iowa, but I'll appreciate having it. An e-bike has revitalized my pedaling, but I don't see a Ragbrai in my future.

Before installing outside levels, I make sure the bed is level inside. Above all, I want the sleeping surface to be level, so that's where I start.

Dryer lint too

Dryer lint works well too, as does sawdust. Navel lint works too but it can take years to accumulate the required amount!

When to "off"

In my Casita days I was told that, yes, when on shore power the 110 does charge or assist the solar to charge the battery, BUT, that a few hours, perhaps overnight was sufficient for charging. After...

Escape 19 closet mirror

My 2010 Escape 19 has a flexible, "fun house" mirror on the closet door. It's quite distorted (which can be scary)! Has there been an update or an improvement since 2010? Has anyone put in a regular...

APP for Finding RV/campground parks on the fly

Traveling cross country we often don't know our destination for the night. Googling campgrounds once we have a "target" town is iffy at best. Even RV Reviews.com has led us astray. Is there a smart...

My outdoor carpet came in a nice canvas duffle type bag. When stowed it's about a 10" wide roll. Fits under the bed.
