RE: Camping World or not?
In 2003 I bought a late model used TT from San Marcus, TX Camping world in excellent condition and their service, attitude and price was great. No need for after service. Sale included WDH and other accessories. Their retail store was well stocked but the sales staff attitude was deficient. Enjoy the 4 Rs of life.
I towed that TT for over 15 years throughout western and PNW USA with no serious issues to fix. Also lived in it full time for a year in Oregon and N California, Nevada.

RE: RV decision
In 2003 I bought a like brand new 2003 R Vision Trail Cruiser 28 Foot TT from Camping World dealer in San Marcus, Texas for around $15000.00. The trailer was in excellent condition and former owners were a retired couple who towed the trailer from Florida to TX and decided RVing was not for them.
R Vision was owned by Monocaco Coach RV and of great quality build. Check out RV dealers within a 100 to 150 mile radius or even more on the internet for both older and late model used RV TTs. Also RV Trader and other RV sales web sites. Also check out Facebook Market place and Craigslist but be careful of all of these as there are dishonest scammers on internet sites. I have saved much money buying truck and RV accessories plus camping stuff by using Facebook and Craigslist.
Others can tell you which brand TTs are of good quality as I am out of date on this info. Enjoy the good 4 Rs of living life. Cheers

RE: Tire Advice
For many years I have had very good luck with both Goodyear and Maxxis tires and sometimes towed TT heavily loaded. Also good service from both Hancook and Goodyear tires on heavily loaded tow vehicle. Constantly checking for proper tire pressure. Only one problem with leaking valve stem in Utah. All is good with the 4 Rs. Yup

RE: How screwed am I ? Boneheaded jacking mistake
I would check it occasionally for possible stress cracks near the bolt. "If you so choose" a welding shop can straighten the plate with their heavy tools.

Unfortunely free speech is not accepted on many forums with the standard comment being a private forum is not a democracy. Yup

RE: Airstreams are Aluminum these are like a Swedish Sauna
How heavy is that TT?. I have heard from others (second hand) that airstreams are like baking ovens in hot summers without AC. Even in hot summer my non working AC 28-foot TT Trail Cruiser with standard TT exterior walls and rubber roof ceiling was comfortable with a fan/s and open windows. Slept well indeed. Yup.

RE: Military Campgrounds
As a 100% disabled veteran and Purple Heart recipient I have been using full facilities of military basses now and for several years that include staying at their base RV parks and on base Inns such as the AF Inns. I am not retired military but a former Army Vietnam vet and Army Guard medevac pilot. I have held a military DAV ID card for many years.
I can also fly space A on military aircraft anywhere within CONUS and U.S. territories. Just returned from a great fishing and camping trip staying at Air Force base RV park and California state parks.
Recent changes allow vets with any amount of a VA disability rating to use on base MWR recreation facilities and PX plus commissary privileges just like me to include full work out gym facilities.
I save a great deal of money using all base facilities and the Air Force has always been very good to this Army guy starting in Vietnam with an AF C-141 AirEvac flight to Japan and then flying space A all over the USA many years ago plus a back seat ride in a T-33 jet trainer as a CAP cadet in 64. Cheers to the brave

RE: Distance between the two RV?
A very legit and good question. Ignore dirty dog and other SA repliers. I have never stayed in such tightly packed places and would not do so. My good luck and prior planning. Cheers.

RE: 2023 camping season
During vacation months of June, July and August I fish and camp only in remote areas with no or undeveloped campgrounds OR I dry camp at Military Bases RV parks. Other months I have no problems getting campsites during the week. Just returned from camping/kayak fishing two week trip at Bodega Bay, Lawsons Landing/Dillion Beach and Nicks Cove. Campsites cost me between $15.00 to 17.50 per night at SPs and base RV.
Life is good and all is good. Cheers to common sense and the brave.

RE: RV Armor Roof Experiences
From previous readings of this topic on this forum some have had success with Armor roof coating and others said it was a failure with partial or full peeling. A search of Armor roof coating on the forum may find these previous discussions.
I have only and successfully used liquid EDPM Dicor several times many years ago. Easy and mess free quick application.

RE: Arizona, lots of great routes... roads, not so much
Nevada major roads and highways are near excellent condition now for a long time. However the Reno city streets are now full of bad potholes in numerous locations on major streets with no sign of maintenance and the all too numerous manhole covers are worse than many deep potholes. Bad as kalifornia.
I loathe the city road managers/engineers and Washoe County/Reno has very high gas tax in Nevada like Vegas. Fill up your tanks in storey, churchill, Douglas or lyon counties if you can. Cheers to all good folks.

RE: Ford Lightning Fire
I am happy our apartment condos do not have attached or underneath garages for parking of gas or EV vehicles. Sleep good at night.

Electric Vehicles Will Not Save the Climate
Electric vehicles are preposterous,
in particular as climate policy (“Biden

standards for light, medium and heavy
vehicles would reduce global temperatures in 2100 by 0.02-degrees Celsius

RE: Jeep exploded ...
Last year an auto manufacturer/s was advising drivers to park their cars outside of garages on the street or far back on the drive way due to sudden car fires. Jeep was not the brand and I believe one was an EV but cannot remember the brand/s. Recall did not affect my Ram truck so do not remember.
Millions of older home garages have gas water heaters, furnaces, etc in their garages. Watch o.
Glad our apartment condos do not have underneath or attached garages. All parking is in the open with metal port covers and away from living quarters.
Tell GD dog eater that I have seen many jeeps used as toads and tow vehicles of small TT. Cheer to the brave.

RE: RAM EV
well said Vern Kelly.
On another note I miss my 2008 2500 Dodge Ram V10. However my 2014 Ram 1500 with 5.7Hemi has about same HP and torque ratings, so everything good to go. Owned 4 Ram trucks and now there are 3.

RE: New EPA Requirements
More fearmongering.
How can this be fear mongering Mr. Slow. Bringing out actual disadvantages with some safety issues is not fearmongering but truthful free speech Mr. Dimwi. These above issues are based on actual facts verified by many sources. I definitely changed my mind about buying any EV for a long time if ever and not because of fear.
Your simplistic reply shows you a shallow biased thinker and is your usual standard non intellect reply to folks/post you don't like. Your very small clique cannot hurt my feelings. Too bad.

RE: New EPA Requirements
Some EV cars and trucks are also tow vehicles bubba joe.As if any further discussion is going to involve towing.
Thank you old salt I forgot to say I recently read that towing a load also GREATLY reduces the range of an EV and if one is running the AC then another GREAT reduction in range. Maybe stay with tiny tear drop TT trailers. They are great looking vehicles including the EV trucks like Ford and Ram.
