Re: Water pressure issue
GTMADNS wrote: Would there not be a water leak on the suction side if there was a crack ? No, it would not necessarily have a water leak or even a drip on the suction side because there is very little pressure even when the pump is nor running and when running the pump is sucking air into the system. Somewhat like a crack in a plastic soda straw.433Views0likes0CommentsRe: Did I make a mistake in Financing? How long do you finance?
OP, if you can refinance to 5% then add $60 per month that would keep the payment at approx. the SAME $225 per month. that would cut five years off the loan and reduce the amount of total interest paid from near $20,000 to about $5,600. For some others here, I am fortunate, I have done without and saved all my life. I now can pay cash. I detest being in debt. As for as "finicial genius" I like most of us, wasn't born with that knowledge, It had to be learned on my own because it wasn't taught in school. I will attempt to give the best advise I can, and not rag on someone trying to learn and be responsible.400Views0likes0CommentsRe: Did I make a mistake in Financing? How long do you finance?

I agree, your interest rate is not the greatest in the current environment, and agree with the poster that suggests you explore refinance options that may be available to you. If a re-fi cut 4 points or so off you interest rate that's some nice savings........... Yankeeslover, thomasmnile also has excellent advise. Refinancing at one or two percent may not be cost effective due to refinancing fees but three or four percent may well be worthwhile. Get all the facts first and look at any new loan on an amortization calc. Yes they can be an eye opener. I would almost NEVER agree on selling anything at a big loss as some suggest. Sounds to me that you have things under control but saving a few thousand in interest would be handy. The main thing though, you have a nice RV now so enjoy it.298Views0likes0CommentsRe: Did I make a mistake in Financing? How long do you finance?

With what figures you gave it looks like (to me at least) that $20. a month would cut two years or more off the life of the loan.304Views0likes0CommentsRe: Did I make a mistake in Financing?

OP, try this amortization calculator and put in your numbers and extra payment amounts each month. you may see that adding even an extra $50 per month when possible may take years off of your loan. Run a lot of different numbers through it and it can be an eye opener. also look up other similar calculators and try them. link http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages/amortization-calculator.aspx?ec_id=m1024923&s_kwcid=AL!1325!3!41196398408!e!!s!!loan+amortization&ef_id=Uw0z5QAAAB9ietPP%3a20140324164154%3as319Views0likes0CommentsRe: A couple litte videos of my 1971 Travel Trailer with no snow
Wow, that brought back memories. My first trailer was a 1972 23 ft. Terry. It was a rear bath, rear entry, mid kitchen. When I bought it new in 1973 I paid $4,000 and that included the hitch welded to my truck and brake controller mounted. How times have changed, that was nine trailers ago.224Views0likes0Comments
