No need to poke holes.  Simply place the unit on a table, open a window and feed the hose outside.  Been doing this for years with great success.

For where you are I would say definitely!  Hate crawling into a damp bed, so for us it was a no brainer.  If you have access to power an electric dehumidifier is a great idea.  Keeps the RVs insides nice and dry

Many people use Kirkland brand septic safe TP with great results. But bottom line, any of the septic safe products will do just fine.  Pick the one that fits your bottom best.

Dont let location scare you.  You want a class A, then go for it. There is no logical reason is there that you could not drive to the MH of choice, look it over (after a professional inspection) hitch you car behind and drive it home. If your in CA, unless you relocate before hand your going to...

Welcome, and sorry about your situation.  Hope it resolves it self for the best

Welcome.  You are asking an age old question.  BTW, All are RVs.  There are motor homes, both class A,B,and C.  Then there are travel trailers, and then fifth wheels. A motor home might be a better solution for a single person.  But then unless your taking a toad (towed behind vehicle), your...

Welcome and thanks from a VietNam vet. Now, your questions. Ford is OK, probably no better or worse than the others.  The motor has proven to be fairly reliable except for the lift pump.  Dont know if Ford is still using the CP4 pump or not.  GM I believe switched last year due to a high failure...

Good duallies will still fetch nearly all of their original price even after 10 years.  Heck, my 39K mile 2007 Ram dually is still worth 30,000 dollars on the open market.  Some like the Ford 6.0L diesels can be had for a song.  But the motor is basically garbage, so you get what you pay for. ...

Yes, Alpenlite died around 2009.  But quality died around 2005 when the kids took over and tried to cheap them out.  The best ones were probably 2002 to 2005. BTW is was Alpenlite not AlpenLITE and they were never noted for being light. Someone mentioned Forest River quality.  But I have to...

Bezt is always in the eye of the beholder.  But Arctic Fox is one brand you would be hard pressed to beat for quality and durability.

Probably not.  Good shocks and better tires would IMHO be a better place to start.

Full timing in a light weight hybrid trailer?  Please say your joking.  Unless you follow the shadow weather. It will become hot, cold and wet almost all the time.  Remember you have canvas that gets wet, transmits heat and cold at an alarming rate, and is prone to damage.  You really need to...

Sadly there is no ideal part of the country.  Away from the rust belt (NE) is probably best.  Condition is paramount and you might find a good one almost anywhere.  But the ages your looking at your going to find stuff like roof needing roof replacement, appliances shot, and if its a wood frame...

Greetings, RV insurance is fairly cheap in the US.  Most insurance companies consider part time use, so your covered for 12 months but only pay maybe 4 months rates. Insurance rates are based on home base location.  Big cities you will pay more than rural America. Storage?  Can run from 75 to...

Two things could be your problem.  No batteries.  Converter basically only charges 120VSC to 12VDC to charge the house battery.  Second, both items need gas(propane) to work.  Do you have gas in the tank?  Are the gas lines purged? Do you have good flames on the stove top?
