Is it an RV or a Camper

RV stands for Recreational Vehicle, this generally is understood to mean a vehicle that has the amenities that you find in a home.
Think back to Robin William's career days he had a movie specifically called RV
The movie is a family fun comedy about Robin Williams playing the dad of a family he is trying to get closer to and decides to take them on a vacation in the RV. The essence of versatility of having a RV to travel for vacation is shown quite well, it is also a decent watch while you go RVing. Other movies with an RV as a strong point in the movie are We're the Millers and Meet the Fockers.



Camper's, on the other hand, is a term used to refer to most any other type of camping sleeping unit that does not contain an engine. The trailers pulled by trucks, the ones that mount onto the back of trucks. Pop-up trailers, travel trailer, fifth wheeler, and whatever else that you may see on the road not housing it's own engine and transmission are referred to as campers.

Difference between Solitude vs. Solutide S - Class

There is little argument to be had, that Grand Design RV's are some of the best made RV's in industry right now. They have many different models, options, floor plans, be it a Travel Trailer, Toy Hauler, or Fifth Wheel, Grand Design puts extra effort into all that they do to make sure that now matter the preference, the camper will be satisfied in their decision to purchase their units and happy with all the extra's that come with them. If their is one thing, that Grand Design does the best though, I would say it is their 5th Wheelers. The Solitude and the Solitude S-Class are both impressive camper lines. But when it comes time to look at them, which one really is better? Is it the Solitude or Solitude S-Class? The winner is not the Solitude S-Class but the Solitude! Both the Solitude and Solitude S-Class, have some great features that are sure to be a benefit to anyone who purchases the camper. From the standard Arctic Package that is better suited to four se...

Black Water Tank RV

ALL Rv's and Campers have three tanks: Fresh Water, Gray Water, and Black Water. The Black water tank is most often than not the smallest of the tanks. Sometimes it is on par with the Gray Water tank, in terms of capacity, but not always. The Black Water Tank is collects both solids and liquid waste. This waste is collected from the toilet(s) in your camper. This is the only tank that will and should be collecting toilet waste. The waste therefore will be human waste as well as the water to flush and whatever toiletries are needed when using a toilet. RV Black water tanks should only be used with special toilet paper and needs to be maintained properly for sanitary reasons at least. Black water tanks tend to collect less waste than the gray water tanks but not always.

RV Battries when not in use

When your camper does not have a battery disconnect, you have two options to maintain the battery life. Disconnect the battery by removing one, (or both) wires. Install a disconnect switch. The best option is usually to use a battery disconnect switch but if you do not have one it is only a small price and a few different install options to make this happen. There are also many YouTube videos out there that show how this can be done that I do not need to add any but I can link some for you. From blade switches that can be installed on the base trim of the RV with out putting holes in the aluminum or fiberglass walls, to switches that sit on the battery. The main goal of the switch or just unplugging the battery is that it will stop a slow drain on the system and kill any residual voltage loss while dormant.
