RE: An idea I'd like to try...

Beaches are nice but I want to visit every micro brewery and sample their offerings. That should take awhile.

RE: How can this be

It's interesting to read the different manufacturers weight ratings and many leave as many questions as they answer. I have noticed that some state that a given weight of a trailer is that of a unit with the most likely ordered options and yet others list the weight as a representative unit, whatever that is. Others give a weight but have mandatory options, are those part of the listed weight?
All seem to have the disclaimer that actual weights may be different that those posted.
Scale it before you buy it if possible.

RE: How to buy - Private Sale

If I were to pay cash I'd find out what the payoff was to the bank and have a cashiers check made out to both the seller and the bank for that sum and a second made out to the seller for any difference. Then go with him to the bank where the title is held and close the deal. They both get theirs and you get yours.

RE: reason one would not want to hook up to sewer?

I passed through a campground this summer that charged $5 a day more for a site with a sewer hookup, and $6 a pop for a simple dump. Stayed there for 4 days, no sewer hookup, paid the $6 to make a dump on my way outta Dodge. By my calculations, I saved $14.

RE: 5W TH or not TH? (to live in and travel full time)

DW and I plan to go fulltime Sept of 2011. We face this decision as well. The one TH that meets 90% of our wants is the Montana Mountaineer 347 THT.

RE: Health Issues

When you feel an attack coming on, just scream as loud as you can and let it all out, it doesn't have to be a scream of anguish or of pain could be like a Tarzan scream just let the anxiety out but you will feel better.

RE: Not a good day

I would think the contents would be covered by your homeowners/renters policy. You may want to check with them.

RE: 5th wheel length for volunteering

Isitime, we plan on doing the same within the next two years and very much like the Nuwa HH II 34.5 FKSB and that would the two of us and a couple of 70 lb fur kids. Lots of room with a open floor plan but with manageable length and wt.
We will lose the hide a bed sofa for the wife's projects. and possibly the table and chairs as well. If it's going to be our home we might as well have it the way we can best function.

RE: Work-Camping at 'My' Lake...??

Time to contact the powers that be talk to the camp hosts superior but on the other hand why would you want to stay in a hot dry place like that? You might get as grumpy as the camp host.

RE: post-retirement plans

Why not look for a deeded RV lot with storage, acreage is getting more expensive all the time and restrictions even out in the country becoming tighter =higher $$$$.

RE: 5er or Motorhome for fulltiming -- a new approach

If you think your mode of abode is right 5er or MH then it is. There are so many variables, we all have different needs and because financial consideration is top priority for most of us we base our decision on that and our personal comfort and lifestyle and travel aspirations.
Personally I could go either way I think both have advantages the other does not but DW doesn't care for MHs and wants a 5er, so debate over :)

RE: Pair Envisions Fleet of RVers Serving Others

Blythe said they plan to turn the Call to Serve into a nonprofit organization with a fleet of RVs traveling the country to help others.
All you need to know is in this statement. In my experience non-profit does not mean than the administrators work for free just that a portion of the monies raised goes to their "good works". But hey, you can't expect them to do all that administration without a paycheck.

RE: Tow rigs for big fivers? Advice?

The trailer your looking at has a dry wt of about 10,500 and a dry pin wt of around 2200 and a GVW of 15,500 if loaded the pin wt should be around 3,000 too much for a F250. Your best bet is a DRW F350 with a 6.0 TD.

RE: Stipends for volunteers

DW and I are neither well to do nor just getting by but looking at many budgets and actual expenses as posted by members of this forum and on others, we feel our retirement finances position us in the same range. That being so, volunteering is a means to spend extended time in places we want to explore and soak in while doing work that will contribute to providing quality outdoor adventures to others and ensure future generations will also benefit. This is not altruism as we will have experiences and memories worth more than a few tanks of gas/diesel.
