Learn how to manage money. Put away as much as you can for things you want. It will pay off when in the long run. When we got married at 20, wife 19, we started putting 10% of our paychecks into investment accounts, nothing major. When we got better jobs, we put more and more away. Now that we...

Really not much different than people relying on a cell phone as their primary phone. A dead battery in a cell phone makes it useless. Not to mention the fragility of the phones. Drop it and it becomes useless. Then it's time to look for replacement, FAST. Also, if you need to call 911, chances...

The tube is probably made of polypropylene or polyethylene. Nothing will stick to it. Only a few chemicals have any affect on it.

The Camco anode rod is 4 1/2 inches long. You'll probably be replacing the twice a year at $25 each. Camco RV Water Heater Anode Rod w/ Drain - 1/2" Diameter x 4-1/2" Long Item # CAM11533

Looks like a clone for the Camco 11533 Anode Rod. The problem with this design, is it doesn't allow for flushing the tank without complete removal. I can also see it getting plugged by the debris in the tank. Only take few minutes to remove the standard anode rod.

I know for a fact that one of the campgrounds on Skyline Drive will not allow anything with wheels to park on the grass area of the site. I had a small pop up camper behind my motorcycle. The ranger made me move it so the wheels were only on the gravel drive. I could put the tent area of the...

FRS handheld walkie talkie. They do make ones with bluetooth headsets.

Now it's someone else's concern. Could be a lot of hidden damage covered up.

I carry my CIPA mirrors with me. Don't normally install them though. They are a 'just in case item" used when backing into a tight spot, or in case they are required in a certain state.

No matter what mirrors you get, you will not be able to see directly behind the trailer for probably 100 feet. An observation camera allows you to see everything directly behind you. Once you get used to it you can judge the distance of vehicles approaching from the side. Lot's of wireless...

Exactly. You will spend it on things you really don't need and then be in the same situation as when you started.

You will need a SAE power cable and two HD alligator clips. Only problem is finding the connector. Auto parts stores used to sell them, but searching only comes up with Amazon.

This is the reason I bought mine at a privately owned RV dealer. No high pressure sales or financing bull. Sales person knew almost everything about the trailer and how things operated, and what the didn't know he called the service manager in on. When I went to pick it up, the service manager...
