    Is theft really a problem? How do you prevent?

    Private campgrounds I generally have no concern.  Public campgrounds where people can come and go at will, I'm  more cautious.

    Strangest RV park rules, and policies?

    I will say the campground was top notch.  The owners were great hosts and I would return with no hesitation.

    Strangest RV park rules, and policies?

    A campground in Kentucky had a no bikini or provocative clothing rule.

    Can you plan a trip/route with Garmin?

    Yes base camp is what you need. FYI your GPS needs to be plugged into your computer to properly utilize base camp.

    Crossroads???

    I guess I'll be the jerk and state that a couple in their 60's with "great jobs", marginal credit, and own nothing but bills, with no cash for a substantial down payment,  probably shouldn't be jumping into RV'ing, much less full timing. JMO

    Is about 500 miles doable in a day?

    On long trips I average 500 miles.  My longest was 600.  It's not fun, but it's doable.  I hit the road by 6am and typically arrived by 6pm. When you're not retired and have 2 or 3 weeks for an extended trip I would much rather put the extra time in driving and have the time at my destination. ...

    Advice on a lakes trip

    Hey all. Been real busy this summer.  Not enough time to even plan a trip, so here I am trying to salvage an early September trip to the great lakes. Looking for advice on destinations and campgrounds.  Open to all options. The limiting factors are: The US side only. Interested in lakes...

    NJ gun laws?

    I didn't read all the posts. In case it has not been addressed: Travel THROUGH NJ you are covered by FOPA, provided the firearm is unloaded and stored as already mentioned, and no unreasonable stops are made.  That is open to interpretation, so it is best to go through and not stop.  If you...

    New Lance TT Has Water Leaking Problems!

    Make sure it's not something simple like the p-trap or other simple connection.  There should be  an access panel.  I wouldn't hesitate to repair something like that under warranty. Take pictures and document everything.

    Floor plywood thickness

    So the trailer is currently gutted including cabinets, etc, etc? If that is the case then I would use 1/2 treated plywood on the bottom, treated 2x4's as needed to stiffen the floor. Add the top flooring using whatever is adequate.  Insulate in between with foam panels.  Glue and screw...

    Floor plywood thickness

    It's difficult to alleviate that spongy feeling because in all likelihood the original floor was laminated (glued) to the insulation and bottom board creating a stronger ply that's difficult to replicate.  The original was probably 1/4" luan.  1/2" is pretty thick for a trailer.  If you want to...

    F150 owners who move to F250. How's the ride and towing?

    The ride when towing is fine.  When not loaded it's still decent on good roads.  Bad roads can be a bit punishing.  Some people complain about every bump no matter what, so it's largely an individual thing. Never substitute safety for comfort.

    How to fix split open wheel well?

    Most simple fixes like this one are best done yourself, IMO.  Even if covered, who is going to fix it?  A dealer?  They'll rape you to do an inferior job, and keep your trailer for 3 months for good measure. I would pound it down.  Pick up a piece of sheet metal, cut and form it as required. ...

    Did I mess up? Winterizing

    This is what I would do.

    Water in the camper

    I don't see how it's feasible that the furnace is directly involved.  It could be indirectly involved in some strange way, which has already been noted.  You have a leak. Find it, and don't worry about the furnace.
