Simple.
He was driving too fast for existing conditions.
People need to understand their limits.

RE: My new to me camper.
Do yourself a favor and install thermostatic bathroom valve.
You will love it for convenience and water saving.
Thanks for the advise, I'll look into it.

RE: My new to me camper.

I bought two new batteries today. I went camping and figured that they should hold up longer than they did.
One of them was used and came out of a 5-th wheel at the dealer that I bought my camper from. It was a Duralast, or was it a Willitlast or Canitlast or Hopeitlasts. I'm sure it was junk.
The other battery was an Ever Start that I bought back in 2016 for my other camper so I figured it was time for it to go too.

A group 29 is a tight fit inside that little compartment.

And the second group 29 back in the bed.
I only stayed 3 nights and hardly ran the generator, never needed the AC.
It got down into the 40s at night so the furnace ran a bit each night. I went to start the generator this morning and no go.
So I decided it was time for new batteries.

RE: 2007 Chevy 2500HD classic/superhitch spare doesn't fit.
Isn't there another hitch option?? A different brand??
I'd hate my spare mounted on the front of my truck.

RE: Oil for onan 2500 lp
https://i.postimg.cc/DZLFbbY5/royal-purple.jpg
I don't want to go dig out my manual but I'm pretty sure my 2 year old Onan 2500 uses less than 1 qt. I think they called for full synthetic so this is what I bought and run. I'd never seen purple engine oil before. LOL

RE: Repo a Truck Camper???
If you quit making payment they will repossess it for sure.
Then they will sell it at an auction and sue you for the difference.

RE: New license plate for my TC.
They hunt you down, drag you out of the truck, and beat you with nightsticks?

RE: Drove through a weigh station this morning.
And the dry humor was lost on many but once again..
But seriously Specta, if you were a professional driver, you'd see things differently. And you'd understand scales, and certifications, and, and, and..

Who is "they"?
State operated scale along a highway?
CAT scale at a truck stop?

RE: Back to work part time.
Something changed with USPS lately.
I don't doubt that with them being buried with Amazon orders might have something to do with it.
My job ends when I drop the mail off at the post office. :)

RE: Back to work part time.
I drive for a private contractor and I am not employed by the USPS.
USPS does require background checks and random drug and alcohol tests.
I have no idea what it takes to get hired by the USPS nor do I have any desire to work for them.
I only plan on working until the end of Dec but I will fill in for the other two drivers when they take time off for as long as I am campable.
This is the longest mail route with the most stops the company has and its hard for them to find someone to step in and cover one of the drivers for a few days.
Full time its 4 days one week and three the next so you actually only work 6 months out of 12. Way better than the 9 months you work working 9-5 M-F.
The other driver that I am sharing the schedule with is going to retire and is just burning up vacation time the days that I drive.
Me coming back helps out quite a few people including me. ;)

RE: Back to work part time.
I see the picture too but this isn't a post about pictures, it's a back to work part time post. What sort of work are you doing. Curious because I'll be entering the world of the retired in about 2 months after selling rental houses and washing my hands of that business.
https://i.postimg.cc/d1317KNM/volvo1.jpg
I haul the US Mail from 10 rural post offices to a main distribution center, take a 90 minute break, reload and drop off the next days mail.
I drive four nights for just over 50 hours total, 4 days on and 10 off. 540 miles every night.
I took an early retirement back in 2016 due to some needed surgery. This is my old job but just part time.
I never planned on going back to work but after a divorce and fighting cancer for 10 years this is actually a pretty good gig. ;)
