RE: Camping in cold temps, bad idea?
Lows of 27F isn’t playtime for a newbie. Read, talk with those experienced and be careful. Frozen water pipes and lines are expensive to fix. Consider going water system dry.

RE: Best portable heater (30 amp) for my rv?
750 watts keeps my TT warm but not my tanks. How are you warming your tanks?

RE: 5G cell phones, need to purchase?
Apple doesn’t yet offer a 5G (supposed to be out in the Fall) and I’m an Apple guy. I want to see how fast 5G really is. Almost time for a new iPad mini too.

RE: Dodge 1500b van
A more than 20 year old van as a tow vehicle isn’t a wise buy. What’s the payload and gross trailer weight max numbers?

RE: Shearing the sheep
“criticizing them for making risky loans that are likely to blow up their books...”
Don’t banks sell those loans after the deal? But still “service” the payments? So long as a bank can sell the loan paper they’ll make the loan.

RE: lug nut socket
Good to think you have all you need to change a tire on the road. Now change one fully to make sure.

RE: Towing camper with van. What rating hitch should I purchase?
“I need to just purchase a truck with better towing capabilities sooner than later.“
Good plan. Could also consider a Tahoe or Expedition. Look at the payload sticker before anything else. Not what the salesman says...the sticker.

Eight thousand pounds plus......3.55. Not towing...let the transmission shift down for fuel economy.

RE: Towing camper with van. What rating hitch should I purchase?
Second, not sure OP understands TV payload. He wants an “ok” for this van, the trailer and his family.

RE: lug nut socket
Change a tire in your driveway using only tools from the trailer and TV. Then you’ll know you are good to change a tire at night, in the rain, wind, cold etc. Consider a home built ramp.

Five years on a car battery is excellent! Buy a new battery.

RE: New to RV/towing. Whats my best option for a towing setup?
What is the van’s payload max? What weight do you estimate will be carried in the van?
I believe you’ll be over on payload. The max gross trailer weight is over your van’s capacity already. You generally won’t be happy. In the mountains you’ll be more than unhappy. Isn’t that van a unibody which generally won’t accommodate WDH?
