1: A few people we met on RV parks recommended to change factory installed Chinese tires on our TT for better ones. And one gentleman strongly recommended air pressure remote sensor. The question: do I really need those?
For the tires, in my opinion, depends on the weight of the trailer. My "China Bombs" are doing fine, but my tires rated at 6800+ lbs capacity are carrying maybe 4000 lbs. I drive 55-60, and check my tires daily. As for the Tire Pressure Monitor, that is up to you. With the amount of travel you are doing, I would think about it.
2. Should I get an air compressor? (I don't have a power generator. We will be staying on RV parks only).
I think spending 50 cents or a dollar at gas stations when needed is a better option, since you are traveling small.
3. I have a freezer in my TT. I like to cook in advance and freeze for later. Since I can't travel with appliances on, how safe is to use frozen meat after 8-10 hour travel? (our average trip from town to town is 4 hours)
A poll I have seen on the forums shows that about 70 percent of people travel with their refrigerator running in LP (Gas) mode.
4. Last time we traveled, my wife and I had a laryngitis and she almost couldn't perform. I suspected our A/C unit, but it might be just a coincidence. Should I checked A/C outside before we travel? (last time I checked only a filter inside and it seemed to be clean)
Doesn't hurt to check. Look for black mold. And, as a precaution, spray some Lysol disinfecting spray.
5. I have a very low pressure in the kitchen sink. What causes it and how to fix it and how to prevent it?
Check the screen in your faucet. They sometimes get plugged with debris from manufacturing.
6. I don't watch a lot of TV, but we will take one (21"). Does anybody knows about tv mount which is easy to put the tv on or take it off without using screws? I am pretty handy, but it's not easy to do it every day.
Can't help you there.
These are my biggest concerns so far. I decided to buy a dehumidifier because it could be cold at night especially in Oct.
Thank you very much for any advice. I know there is a lot to learn and I am ready for it :)
