So we had an electrician put a 30 amp plug in for our camper. I sent him this picture and a copy of the plug so he would know what to get. Well he put in a 30 amp plug with 240 breaker and it fried everything electrical in my camper. It is going to cost over $6k to fix. I just want to cry. I have insurance (comprehensive coverage) on it…has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? ... See MoreSee Less

Hey y’all! So we are new to the RV world even though we’ve shopped for them a few times in the past two years. We just couldn’t find one we could agree on that wasn’t astronomically priced. We’ve found a new on the lot 2022 Grand Design Transcend XPLOR 321BH for $33K that feels really perfect for our family but it’s still a big purchase, so I’m nervous. Does anyone have this specific rig and have any issues with it? Additionally, what should we expect ”good” interest rates to be around? We’ll obviously shop our options but I’d like to hear what the industry-wide expectations typically are. Thanks so much! ... See MoreSee Less

Does anyone know why this would be leaking? What valve would this be. I’m pretty sure it’s a valve that needs to be closed. This is a 2018 Rockwood Roo 21DK. Thank you so much in advance ... See MoreSee Less
