Washing our Entegra Cornerstone - RV Washing Tips
Washing an RV is a BIG job - if you pay someone it can cost hundreds of dollars. We do it ourselves and save all that money for fun stuff! Here are a few of our RV washing tips - One of our big tricks is a soap gun. Another is using the right cleaners like simple green, aluminum wheel cleaner, and the right kind of brushes. Another is having a pressure washer with us. Not everyone has the room for one, but ours is pretty small and has just the right pressure to make cleaning our coach that less painful.

Hiking in Tampa! Oldsmar Florida

    Stayed here for a week on our recent trip to Florida. We travel from Pennsylvania. It's as good as you said it is. The staff is very nice and helpful. The sites are well maintained. They have a couple laundry rooms placed around the grounds. The one we used was very clean, but only took quarters. There were a lot of snow birds who stay there for months. Lot of activities, mostly geared to them. I was surprised that there didn't have a store. They only sold ice and propane by the gallon. I got propane. It was very convenient, drop off the empty and they'll fill it before the end of the day. Our site was near the fishing dock. You should have gone fishing, I caught two and saw a school of rays swim by. Yes, it's a little noisy from the traffic, but it wasn't that bad. Remember it's in a highly populated area. It was less noisy than the campground across the water, where we stayed also. Thanks for your review, it helped in making my decision to stay there. I would definitely stay there again.

    Curt makes a really nice kit that achieves the exact thing that the Mopar does for $75. You also don’t have to disassemble half the jeep to install it. I’m curious why you use this one instead of this kit.

    @BigRoadAdventure I too am installing this but want to use a standard 6 pin connector rather than the included Mopar connector cable to the RV. Did you make a video of wiring that up? I don’t see a diagram showing what each of the wires in the Mopar harness does, where did you happen to find that?

    @felixarriechejr9344 Рік тому

    Thank you for sharing, I did go ahead and purchase this harness, though it will be ok to stay Mopar for this electric install, I am going to have the dealership install, but I am having the invisible braking system by an RV dedicated shop, since they are doing the Maximum 3 recovery loops and tow bar, I am assuming this is a good decision, but one question is, the RV shop told me I will need a power line from the RV to trickle charge the Jeep, doesn’t the road master invisible brake set up for this already? And also I saw a 7 point connector in the package, is that for connecting the RV to the Jeep wrangler JL, IS THERE ANYTHING I should know to tell the RV shop or the dealer installers? Just trying to avoid confusion, which is probably going to come up, or not! Your answer is appreciated. Thank you!
