I get all of that. I'm just wondering if it's worth all the time, money, and effort for a fridge of its age?

Thanks, Gary. Just curious, I thought these units are ammonia operated. Where does the hydrogen gas come into play? Also, your reply sounds to me that a new refer is probably the best thing to do. Due to its overall age.

I've been in rv's most of my life. But have never ran across this issue before. Have an old 1994 Dometic 2-way that has worked great since  new. Camping this weekend and fired it up on LP. Freezer works fine but fridge compartment doesn't! Ideas?

I get it. And you're exactly correct! Here's why I say that... Had a driving job in another city (Doesn't matter where). I would frequent one particular intersection in which a gentleman in a wheelchair would hold a sign begging for help. A couple of times over the years I have actually watched...

Been there, done that. Was on my way out of the grocery store on my way home. While waiting at a stop light to make a turn, gentleman standing on the corner with a sign. I've lived in this neighborhood almost 30 years and have never seen such a thing in this area. Hand written sign said he lost...

Too much grey area. No wonder the IRS tax code is almost 74,000 pages thick!  ??? Another thing I wondered about is if some generous soul decides they want to help somebody out and stumbles across one that interests them, how do they know that the recipient is honest and worthy of the money...

This is where the thread starts on my comp. If it started in 1978, where the heck are the first 100 pages? I got 2!  ??? What the heck is going on?

I heard about the same. I did a little more research and it appears that GoFundMe is required to file a 1099 if a particular fund exceeds $20K or over 200 donations. I told the DW if I kick the bucket before her, throw me out in the back 40 in our woods! Funeral expenses are through the roof...

From what I'm seeing, there seems to be a difference in the eyes of the IRS as to just what is a gift and/or a donation.

Correct. Their cut; plus card processing fees. But who is responsible for any taxes? The "host" of the account (if you will) or the recipient of the funds?

What was the original post? Thread seems to be starting in he middle somewhere.

No, wait, what? No wooden spoon like mom used to use?  ;)

Heard on the radio that these accounts are taxable by the IRS and held accountable to the recipient of the funds.  Upon some research and what little I know about the tax code, I find that unless the money received exceeds $20K and/or over 200 donations, no 1099 is filed by GoFundMe. Am I...

Something you might consider that hasn't been mentioned. I've done this for years with no issues. I have a small battery bank (2 flooded 4D's) that suit me well for my boondocking. I put them (cabled together in parallel) on a Battery Tender Plus for the entire Michigan winter. Just a monthly...

X2. Nice job!
