South to North or North to South
A small but growing number of our RV friends are using their Southern home as a base and visiting up North in the summer. See any disadvantages to this? I am already spending almost seven months in the South, so I am not too far from making the conversion myself.2.2KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Travel Trailer Depreciation?
I would be reluctant to call anyone else foolish when it comes to buying RV's. A few folks on here may claim to buy low and sell high but the vast majority of us look at it as the cost of entertainment. If one can purchase at a hugely discounted price and sell in a seller's market, the financial loss may not be terrible. The joy of rving can be priceless.332Views0likes0CommentsRe: Our First TT, will it be a hobby nightmare?
Tundra, and other similar pickups are "Rated" to tow over 10,000 pounds, but that is not always a good idea. Check out things like payload and other user reports before purchasing a travel trailer that approaches that mythical limit. Many people find it much more fun to tow under their maximums rather than over them. Get real world weights on everything before signing the check.338Views0likes0CommentsRe: Life expectancy of RV Air Conditioners

As long as the campsite provides steady good voltage and amperage, and you keep the coils clean, you'll be OK...Really! One caution - If your South Texas site is on a beach, salt spray will rust/corrode everything. Your coach, your toad, your lawn chairs, your A/C, you name it. Thanks. I wondered if they would have similar service lives to window units.2.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Question about GVWR.

And the reason has anything at all to with RAWR? Or local taxes? You lost me on this sidetrack.256Views0likes0Comments
