RE: Resuming Rving... ideas dealing with Covid.

I'll start by addressing "immunity". I'm really not sure immunity from this virus can be accomplished. Many people have contracted it numerous times. Maybe, over time, we can build anti-bodies to ward it off, but, for the time being..... The vaccine is only to reduce the effects of the virus. It does not contain the virus itself. Lastly, i, like millions of others, want my life back to normal. I have received both doses of the Phizer vaccine. I am now willing to venture beyond my doorstep.

RE: Gen octane recommend

My Honda 2000 uses 87 octane. Started (before I sold it to upgrade) on first or second pull for 20 years. Why waste money on premium fuel?

RE: Equilizer vs. Blue ox SwayPro?

Nothing is going to fix it. That trailer is a long sail moving at 55 mph.

RE: Running a generator to exercise it when there's shore power?

I didn't start my Honda generator for 6 months to a year for many years. It fired up every time I needed it to. But...That's a Honda for you. At 15 years old.....it still fires up without a hiccup.

RE: 60 gallon gas tank

S & B and Titan make 56 and 60 gallon replacement tanks for F series trucks ($1,200+). If you have a motorcycle jack, they are not hard to drop and swap.

RE: not sure where to post this.....

Tailgate will hit the trailer jack. If you have a shortbed, you should have asked the truck dealer for the 2 of bed they cut off. Yes....you can drive a golfcart up into the bed of a standard size (8') truck.

RE: CC&R dated 1973 says no RVs, trailers, boats can be stored

You probably have a Community Service District that sees to it the CC&R's are followed (when reported violations occur). I would drive around the neighborhood and take pictures of as many RV's, boats and trailers as you can, proving they existence of a need for an amendment to the CC&R's. But, I would also ask my neighbors how they feel about an RV being exposed in that parking area.

Heck. The water may not have been hot when you were running around trying to figure it out.

RE: Honda 2000i Runs but no Power

IDman,
I should have bought a Champion 3400 with remote electric start instead of the Yamaha.
You would have been sorry.

RE: Reservation blues - UPDATED

LOL. The last time I went to Arizona, I moved my 5th wheel 3 times. There were no 3 consecutive day spaces. It was no big chore. I didn't really need hook-ups. Just pull in the slide and raise the landing gear and move.

RE: Will a 100 watt solar panel be enough

Get the second solar panel (200 watts total) and battery. And, get a Mr. Buddy heater. You'll be set for anything. I don't even bother to plug in half the time I have full hook-ups.

RE: Problems with 7 Pin Connector

Sometimes I have to use a screwdriver to bend the prongs for better contact. I use lithium grease on my wife's plug-in Prius cord, and that really helps.
