Re: Portable vs On Board Air Compressor?
IMHO- the Viair http://www.viaircorp.com/tire_inflation.html is way over priced for the job. I went to Lowe's and bought a Kobalt https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-1-8-Hp-8-Gallon-150-PSI-120-Volt-Horizontal-Portable-Electric-Air-Compressor/50129758 for a whole lot less. Now my RV has 120V but with an inverter you can do the same thing. I tried a 12v air pump w/o the tank- top pressure was 65PSI (rated for 150PSI) and it took forever! Just my experience and YMMV.398Views0likes0CommentsRe: Introducing Ourselves: Two 23-year-old fulltimers
Welcome from NC. With over 130 craft breweries and a wine industry second only to Ca., I'm sure you can find something to do in NC. From the mountains to the coast, something for everyone. And if you have a taste for BBQ, we have 2 styles here! Be sure to stop and visit, southern hospitality at it's best!729Views0likes0CommentsRe: Full Time RV in North Carolina Issues
I live in NC & plan to full-time w/ my wife. We have medical issues and family here. Changing domicile is not an option (wife is technically employed but out on workers comp.). Adult Kids are grown and gone. I have a '98 Class A, a Master Tow & a Honda Accord. I will get a UPS address and have 3 CGs close to Drs. for a 'Home Base'. By controlling appt. scheduling, we can travel 6-7 weeks at a time. If you could change domicile (FL, SD or TX), you would be 'vacationing' in NC. Just find CGs in the school district you want your daughter to attend and move the camper every other month or so. Mail will be forwarded to you and no state income tax with those domicile states. NC laws will have marginal effect on you, you are a 'tourist'. There is a difference between a domicile state and where you actually live, most full-timers rarely go 'home'. Just an idea for you, hope it helps. Update: 12/22/16- This is just to let folks know that full-time is possible in NC, we are now full-time and in NC. Only problems so far is the age of the RV- I wish I had bought a newer model- it's hard to get parts. But since this is our first RV and we didn't want to get in too deep, I think I have done OK. I Love It (the RV and the Lifestyle), even though the RV is old- so am I! And it is better than a rocking chair at the 'Home'!14KViews0likes0Comments
