Re: RVing in 2022

My wife asked if we were still going with the gas prices being what they are. I told her that it only adds a couple of hundred dollars to the trip. If I can't afford that, it is time to hand up the truck keys and sell the TT. Exactly.772Views0likes0CommentsRe: RVing in 2022
The last time fuel prices went up I freely took my little / used / paid for /, Travel Trailer out to the campgounds (That were mostly empty) and waved at all the campers/people that were staying at home because they could only afford the payments and not the gas to go anywhere. I may stay closer to home but, I have no plans to make any big changes. Extra bucks for gas it a drag but, not a deal breaker for me. I will cut back on something else first. For gods sake, I spend 150 bucks a month on satellite TV and hardly ever watch it ! I will find a cheaper way to get TV before I give up on camping.773Views0likes0CommentsRe: can I tow on the ball

I have driven over 100K pulling this TT . TRY it , you might like it ! Yes723Views0likes0CommentsRe: Locking gas cap

But, it's to hard to put a hose into the tank to get gas out. In my area I'm more afraid of solen catalytic converters. The new truck is warrente and I'm afraid of modifying it to slow down the converter thieves.745Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rising fuel, will it be any different this time?
I could use a new TT . In the last couple of years a lot of new people bought RV's and the prices went way up. I can hope that with high gas prices and maybe some of those new people deciding that RV'ing was not for them that more affordable used once will come to market. But, hope is hope. It's not fact. I just have to wait and see.121Views0likes0CommentsRe: Clear2o RV Water Filter
I understand that some of you camp at private campgrounds all over the U.S. that are using untested /untreated well water. Around here in MN or Northern Iowa all public water supplies are tested and regulated good. No need to filter that water again. To each their own.713Views0likes0CommentsRe: Missing catalytic converter

So we will have to live with the check engine light being on. Some places have inspections that you have to pass. (None in my area though) I think some of the newer vehicles will go into "Limp Home Mode" if you did that and then not run very good.997Views0likes0Comments
