Just get a loan and build the house. Pay it off as fast as possible. If you can save up to build it in 5 years you can pay it off in 5 years so why waste 20k plus trying to stay out of debt.

It also depends on how the trailers are loaded. An improperly balanced load can make a trailer much more difficult to tow. TT's are inherently balanced fairly well. A trailer load of blocks is almost always loaded wrong.

Look at the noise rating. 69 vs 60 Db is a really big difference.

That's because horsepower is irrelevant, it's all about the torque rating and electric motors provide a lot more of that. Example put a 350 hp gas engine in a 40' coach and it will barely move. Go with a 350 HP diesel and your good to go. The difference is the gas engine has 350 ft lbs of torque...

Cold Cranking Amps and Amp Hours are two different things. Think of it like a power wire. While a 10 gauge wire will supply 12 volts to your engine for eternity at low amp draw (AH IE 10 amps till the batteries go dead) running 100 amps through it at once ( CCA IE Instant load from the starter...

Keep in mind it it illegal in most places , along the panhandle anyway, to have your dogs on the beach. Be sure to search for places with a beach dog park like pensacola beach or panama city beach if that is important to you.

I guess since I am in mine at least 12-14 weeks per year I'm good to go :)

Mine only powers certain outlets. They are marked.

My 5'er won't run from a GFCI Outlet.

Everyone does it differently that's why rv's are so popular. We take our 5'er and now our motor home to camp on the other side of town for two weeks at a time and I go to work from there. We do it just to be something different than being at home.

No exchange of air but that water is from the air inside the coach. It pulls the inside air though the return and the evaporator coil cools it. The cooling process pulls the humidity out and it drains to a pan in the bottom under the evaporator coil which deposits the water into a drain tube to...

In our 5'er I have always used a battery powered Dyson. It holds just enough charge to do the whole rv and works amazing. Our Beaver has a central vacuum. I haven't used it yet but it's going to have to be pretty impressive for me to ditch the Dyson.

Especially in the front I would not go with a unit taller than your current one. I don't think the Penguin II a/c units are compatible with analog thermostats so you may want to check that out especially if you have zone cooling.

Probably slipped at the mounting bolts and just needs re aligned. Possibly bent the frame mounting points making for a more complicated repair. Won't know until you crawl under there.

It depends on how you cook. I've been rving for a few years now and have never turned on the oven and have never had a convection microwave. Haven't missed either one. I rarely even use the cooktop indoors as most of my cooking is done on the grill outside and the grill in the outdoor kitchen.
