Anyone with a lathe?
I have a wonderful Powermatic lathe at home. The only problem with it is that at ~600lbs (plus another 300lbs ballast I've added) it's a little heavy to take along in the RV. I'm looking at smalle...

You didn't give your age, OP. I also have carried a lathe at times and really enjoyed it but it was for turning between centers and not a bowl lathe. Mine weighted a max of 75 lbs. I think it depends where you are going to store it. I found it quite a strain on my back to load and unload it from a storage compartment due to the angle I had to bend. I suggest you keep your weight to a minimum. I also spread a small tarp below the table when I was turning to be able to collect the shavings and not leave a mess in the campground.
