Re: I Am severely dissapointed.

All that will do is cost you lot of money with very little if any benefit. It may cause the repairs to slow down while they make sure "every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed". Give them time to sort it all out and make the necessary repairs. Probably just a spot that didn't get enough caulk. Perhaps you could even get up on the roof and look around, find the problem, and fix it yourself. Someone once said, "When owning any RV, you must be real handy at fixing things or real handy writing checks to get things fixed. While under warranty, you must be real handy at waiting months for sub standard repairs".525Views0likes0CommentsRe: Going full time with dogs
Are you going to be traveling the country in your RV or is it going to be your stationary full time residence? If the later, then I strongly advise AGAINST a RV. Nothing about them is designed for full time stationary, residential living. You would be better served buying or renting a mobile home or even modest traditional housing.413Views0likes0CommentsRe: Camping World Myrtle Beach
I am glad the OP had a good experience, and I hope he has many years of enjoyment with his new RV. Many find Camping World to not be competitive with pricing, and especially so with on line purchases. Some have had horrendous service experiences. Maybe they are like the evil step child- when they are good they are very good, but when they are bad they are very bad!516Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1972 Ford RV - Can't find any info
You are kidding, right? That thing is beyond restoring- it is not even road worthy enough to be towed off. The current owner should get a roll off dumpster and a front end loader and scoop it up into the dumpster and take the remains to a landfill. RIP!680Views0likes0CommentsRe: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid

Our county here has only a total of five deaths and just a few hundred cases, while our county there has a few thousand cases. It is a no brainer for us ! Guy I wonder what the percentage rate of infection is, not just the total. You may find that where you plan on staying is more infected than your Florida location. It is not just the number of infections or deaths. Example: the population where you are is 2,000, but there have been 1,000 infections and 100 deaths. The population in your area in Florida is 200,000 with the same 1,000 infections and 100 deaths. It is easy to see in this example where one would be safer.382Views0likes0CommentsRe: Henry Tropi-Cool VS EPDM Roof Coatings
The problem with the "rubber" roof on RVs is the owner. They are obsessed with cleaning the roof annually, or usually more often. They wash away the protective layer thus exposing the roof to more UV rays and another protective layer develops until it, too, is washed away. Soon the entire protective layer is gone, exposing the black base, which requires roof replacement. Commercial applications on buildings last 30+ years because the building owner doesn't wash the building's roof all the time!2.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Hard to find a full-time spot
Recreational vehicles, by definition, are not designed for permanent residency and are not built to any permanent housing code. Many local jurisdictions have banned using them for permanent housing because of those codes. Manufactured housing (mobile homes) faces the same issues as they are built to a HUD code but not local building codes.668Views0likes0CommentsRe: Arkansas SP $40 Dog Fee - REALLY ??

Just out of curiosity; do you obey the length of the Parks leash law? Do you let your dog do it's business at your camp site or do you do like every other dog owner and walk it to someone else camp site. Guy Wow, too bad parks don't charge a grumpy old man tax. X2 1,000 times!!!!!279Views0likes0CommentsRe: Solution to Trash Left Behind!
Part of the problem with litter is there is no convenient place to dispose it. People dump tires, old mattresses, etc. along seldom traveled roads and other places because municipal dumping places are few and far as well as their charges for dumping are out of reach for many people. In some campgrounds, the "pack it in-pack it out" plan where you are supposed to take all your trash home with you, leaves people without any resource to discard leaky smelly trash they don't want in the passenger seat of their vehicle. Other campgrounds have one central spot for trash disposal, often quite a distance from the campsite.281Views0likes0Comments
