RE: Dental Assistance
Years ago I bought a plan from Dentalplans.com It wasn't insurance but the dentists that honor it give a large discount.

RE: Solar Cable Tangles
Do you need 8g? How about a 12g extension cord?
Run high voltage from the panel and have the controller near the batteries.

RE: How do you pay your bills on the road on extended trips?
I pay most bills online with my own internet and a Chromebook.
Fortunately my new 2019 truck has its own secure wifi hot spot. The only problem is the truck has to be running to use it....
What have you got? My 2016 Silverado does not require the engine to be running. I just turn the key one click to the accessory position.

RE: Dually towing TT
You can see my rig in the signature below. We do use the Equal-i-zer four point WDH with sway control. Is it needed? Maybe not but it doesn't hurt and it makes my wife more comfortable.
It tows wonderful and have never had any issues in any and all conditions.

RE: slide topper bracket
I'd have to check the manual for specifics but on mine you insert a drill bolt or other appropriate sized pin in a hole of the tube.

RE: hitch lock??
In 25+ years of owning travel trailers I have never used a lock. If I felt that I needed one, it would be a boot that covers the wheel lugs.

RE: BEWARE Keystone Hideout
The tank outlasted the warranty. That is the manufacturer's goal.

RE: Casting (Mirroring Android Tablet) to TV HDMI port
I should have mentioned that using Smartview on my Android device, I have a firestick. Works fine. We also travel with our firestick. With a hotspot it works fine in the RV as well. All that said, I Never cast anymore. Any apps I have for viewing media (sling, netflix, youtube, browsers)are also on the firestick so it's redundant and makes casting a moot point.
True if you always have internet. I download onto my tablet when internet is available and then mirror to the television when it's not available.
If you try to use campground wifi during the evening it is often impossible. Download during the day and mirror at night.

RE: Casting (Mirroring Android Tablet) to TV HDMI port
I struggled with this for a while and wasted money on some different devices such as a Chromecast which were failures.
By accident I discovered Samsung Smart View which is only available to download for a limited time. It will soon be discontinued but will still work if you get it now.
I then link my tablet with my Fire Stick. Go to settings, display and sounds, and click on "Enable Display Mirroring. Open Smart View on your tablet and make the connection.
I download shows when internet is available and then play them on the television later.

RE: 50 AMP Tents
There are numerous 30 AMP sites available, I just thought that it was a shame that others are denied the precious few 50 AMP sites that probably were reserved on the first day allowed. I need to brush up on the “it’s all about me” thing.
You're saying because someone spent more money on their camping equipment they deserve a 50a site more than a tenter? Yes, that is the "all about me" mindset.

RE: 50 AMP Tents
The tent people are paying the same as if they were in an RV, I assume?

RE: Why remove dinette booth and replace with table and chairs
Personal preference. We shopped for a trailer with table, chairs, and theater seating. We don't have a dinette at home and don't want one in the trailer.

RE: Grey water pump into portable waste tank
...both the pump and the valve cap had a male connection, which I could not connect the supplied water hose to. I only had a walmart close and I found a quick disconnect set that worked....
For future reference, a washing machine hose has two female ends. I always keep one in my gear.

RE: Refrigerator left running with doors open for 2 weeks !
Did that to myself once. Had water inside the refrigerator and on the floor of the trailer. Didn't do any damage.
Clean up the mess and check, is it okay now?

RE: Low Voltage on One 50A Leg
Test your unit. Use an adapter to connect to a 30a service. Voltage on L1 and L2 should be identical, is it? If not, your unit might be adjustable.

RE: Covid 19 warning
Sorry for your loss. We also plan to stay home until the situation changes.
I haven't been in a store since March before we left Florida. We order our groceries online and an employee loads them in our car. Same thing getting materials at Lowes for projects. Everything gets quarantined for three days before use.
Before leaving Florida in the spring it was impossible to distance from people. We left Florida a month earlier than planned. We are all accustomed to regularly interacting and socializing in the park. At home we have no trouble isolating.
