    Costs of living full time

    Do not leap into that deep end of the pool until you know if you can swim, and like it. Rent, buy cheap and old, whatever you must do, because even if you absolutely love it, 6 months in you will know what you WISH you had done.

    How Would You Have Handled This With A Park Owner?

    OK, everybody gets to be an A-Hole once in a while. In this case, ignore it unless it happens again, at which point you can either raise hell, and never go back, or wait until the month is up. If this slight is more important than your husbands health, ignore the above and raise hell immediately.

    Man Sucked Thru Hole In RV Floor

    It would appear that a layer of chipboard and maybe 1/16" of Filon or the equivalent is not quite enough protection a crash. Oh wait, I forgot the wallpaper!

    Mirror problem ...

    Yes, the I knocked the right side mirror to pieces somewhere in Pennsylvania and replaced it with a much cheaper identical but manual mirror. You only adjust it once in a blue moon, so ?????.

    Sad Story on RV Related Deaths in Florida

    I am 78, and I taught Driver Ed for 34 years, and  have a pretty good handle on driving skills. I am still a very competent, accident and ticket free driver, but I am not as good as I used to be. I can see far enough down the road to know that at age 99 I will be not competent to drive, and I...

    Egress In The Event Of Fire

    A Good Wax

    My choice is REJEX polish, get it on line, not cheap, but goes on easily, polishes off very easily, lasts long, best I have ever seen for bugs washing off.  Their other products, Corrosion X for example are excellent. The only negative would be need to keep it out of direct sunlight until it...

    Excessive Tire Blowout - Passenger Dually

    Just a thought, the right side (inside) rear tire has the hardest job on a rig, if you run the rear off to the shoulder.  Often that tire is carrying the whole load if there is a couple inches between the asphalt  and the shoulder (vertically) for whatever period of time. Maybe  a 100% overload...

    Restored 1975 Travco 220 motorhome

    Well, back in 1974 we were camping at racetracks with a 23 foot Winnebago Indian, 4 people, we had no problems, enjoyed ourselves, in fact thought were having a pretty good time. Two more would have been out to sleep in a small tent, but we had no problem water, septic or anything else. That...

    Your Inverter Generator is Quiet Enough for You, but What About Your Neighbors?

    Not really useful answer, perhaps, but I was there at Watkins Glen track years ago when a tent owner had a small generator as far from his tent as possible on an extension cord, running a light bulb, late in the evening. It quit , the light went out, and when he went to investigate he saw the...
