@stripit is spot on! I’ve set up 3 toads so far. The first 2 were traded in at dealerships that I doubt recognized the value of the toad setup. As such, they would’ve been a bargain to a customer looking for a tow-ready toad. Depending on the system you go with, the cost of having it done...

If you’re looking for a used light SUV/CUV automatic: We just got a ‘22 Ford Edge ST. It and the sister Lincoln model (Nautilus, former MKX) can be flat towed providing they have the 2.7 V6. We teplaced our 2014 Honda CR V with that. All automatic CR Vs can be flat towed up to and including...

Like Gary, we’ve not had trouble finding places to overnight, anymore we don’t care to stay at Walmarts so much. Cracker Barrels often allow RVs to overnight as well as Cabelas/Bass Pro shops as well. Harvest Host/Boondockers Welcome are available more in the east than west. We use those...

Sorry for your loss, Tom. He sounds like a wonderful character.

A park ranger explained to me that littering apple cores, banana peels (anything biodegradable) is not less an infraction because it attracts wildlife and increases unnecessary roadkill. (As he was writing my ticket.) Until then, I thought as Isaac expressed that biodegradable was kind of not...

When I get that question, I tell them there’s no one nor easy answer. That there’s nearly limitless ways to “RV”. I then try to get them to define how they imagine they would “RV”. As they start to describe what their idea of “RVing” is, I have to interrupt to describe the differences...

That’s great! Good for her!!

Hi Milon. There’s several members here who very knowledgeable about building solar systems. I’m not one of them. But I wanted suggest you start a new thread. It’s very easy for anyone see a fresh post (within a week or so) and read the first few posts and scroll to end and comment…...

Welcome to the forums! Lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks here! We do a thorough wash and wax once a year. But we will take her through a Blue Beacon between times when she needs it. I think they do a decent job for the cost. I don’t let them do the roof (I don’t trust the high...

Our first coach was a 38’ gasser with about 340 hp. Weighed about 25,000 lbs and we towed a car that weighed around 3,000 lbs. Our current coach is a 44.25’ diesel pusher with about 410 hp. Weighs about 43,000 lbs and we a car that weighs about 4,300 lbs. Using @Gary RV_Wizard ’s formula...

Now the responsibility falls on all of us to continue OJ’s work in finding the real killers. 🔎

I saw tires like those on a mower just a couple days ago.

Welcome to the forums! Lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks here!! There’s some RV salvage yards around. I’ve seen Colaws recommended often here.

Moon Shadow.. I’m gobsmacked! Yeah, I know the media push has been over the top. Nonetheless, my geek will not be deterred: The odds, ANYWHERE in the universe, where a planet’s moon is just the right size and just the right distance from the planet; AND that planet’s sun is just the right size...

So we got to our site yesterday at an Ohio state park pretty much on midline of the path of tomorrow’s moon shadow. Overnight lows have been near freezing. These are not the typical state park type campers. I was talking with Laura how there’s a festival or almost cult-like flavor to this...
