Just bought a 2027 Northtrail 210MBS to replace our Jayflight 175 FQW which we towed with our ford explorer. Although the Explorer could tow the Northtrail, it was underpowered for the weight of the trailer by about 1000-1500 lbs. So I was able to buy a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 and tow is beautiful. Bank account hurts but we will be much safer.

I came up from Kansas to Allentown PA for a visit with friends and I figured while I'm up here, I'd love to cross off NYC from my bucket list. The problem is, I wanna park for ideally 3-5 days or longer and explore the city as much as possible.

We live full time in our RV and usually bounce around between parks and cracker barrels and such but I just don't think that'll be an option for the city since I wanna leave my RV somewhere safe and not have to worry.

The best two options I'm seeing are Liberty Harbor RV park (holy expensive batman!) at like 180$ a night and then SkyLine RV park at 85$ a night but requires driving further into the city which tbh I'm really nervous about. I don't have a ton of experience driving in big cities and I was hoping to park somewhere outside the city and then Uber/bus/subway/walk ect into the city.

Also I saw something about downloading truck route maps cause some RVs are not allowed on certain roads? So I'll definitely be looking into that.

The other option I saw that actually looked really cool was an old airport lot that's been converted for camping (idr the name right now) but it's closed between October and April which sucks.

Anyone got tips, tricks, recommendations? (Aside from just don't go lmao)

For context, I'm in a class C 30' and I don't need hookups but won't say no either.

It changes every time you repack, so in principle it's a per-load measurement. In practice we'd guess most trailers got measured the day they were bought and never again.

Per trip, per season, or once ever? And with what - a scale, a lever setup, or a tongue weight gauge??

I’ve been trying to replace my vent lid, but I can’t seem to find how to attach it. All the vents I’ve been looking at have a hinge on the outside to attach, but my one doesn’t seem to have anything. Any help appreciated 👍🏼

Looking at 2024 Go Plays does anyone have anything to say about them?

I’d love to see pictures but I’d like to hear/see what all you’re taking in your camper van. We are not planning to be campground dwellers most of the time but more of explorers/travelers. We will probably stay in one spot for a few days at a time but hoping for more like boondocking or Harvest Host type places. We won’t live in our van but hope to travel for a few weeks at a time.
Everyone talks about needing so much storage. For what? Some clothes, towels, shoes, food, soap and shampoo, one pot and pan, a few dishes, a deck of cards/games.
What am I not considering?

Anyone have experience with swapping the microwave to an air fryer combo?

This guy did but wondering if there is another model that folks have used that may not require as much renovation

I'll never (say that now haha) use a microwave and haven't at home for 20+years. I do use an air fryer daily though but dont want a separate standalone unit.

Anything is appreciated!!

Cheers
