Seems to me you've made up your mind (or maybe not). I think the smoking deal days are done here in the states too. My last good deal was in 2019, and I bought a 2017 Ram 3500, with 15 miles on it, for ~20K off. Had to drive out of state to get it, but was a good deal. Sold my 2014 Ram 2500 for more than I bought it used. I used to buy my wife a new car every 3 years. 6 years ago I decided to give leasing a try. First lease worked out fine, wasn't a big loss. Second lease, I brought it back and it was worth more than the lease payoff. That rarely happens, but timing was right with all the issues with computer parts etc slowing down inventory. I decided to buy the car vice go another lease route. Not too many people make money (or equity) on leased vehicles. MikeRe: Installing an oven into a former rental rvI think most of us cook outside. Even in the rain, I cook under the awning. To me, an oven would not be a deal breaker. Several options already shared. We've used the oven once in nearly five years. Twice actually if you count testing in PDI. MikeRe: SEEKING TOW VEHICLE VALUE??Agree with those who say you're doing something wrong. I've used KBB a zillion times, and have always gotten values immediately and have never left my contact info and never been contacted unless I wanted it. MikeRe: Gulf State Park, ALThey will let you wait at the big lot beside the campground check in. That used to be where they had RV storage, but they no longer provide storage. You can wait there until check in. Saw a whole bunch there this past week. I just got back from there yesterday. MikeRe: Best navigation app when towing a 5th wheelI like Smart Truck Route. As the name implies, lets you plan travel along truck routes. It is subscription based, but if you travel alot, I think it's worth it. smartruckrouteDOTcom MikeRe: Turning With A Long Bumper Pull TrailerNothing to add to the good advice already received. Just take it slow and use your mirrors. Adjust your mirrors if necessary to see the trailer tires on the right. Hopefully the main road is not too busy, and don't worry if you end up using the center turn lane. As long as it's not a 55 MPH road, if you end up slowing traffic to get out, I wouldn't worry about it. MikeRe: Line-x or Equivalent on Fold Down StepStep treads (carpet) is your best bet. MikeRe: I have a disgusting problem… HELP!!!I wouldn't dump them in my septic. Even you don't know for sure if they added something that will negatively impact your septic. Personally, if a porta john cleaner couldn't or wouldn't do it, I would follow the suggestion of digging a hole and dump in hole over time. MikeRe: Help with Refrigerator Decision Rbertalotto wrote: First consideration is how you're gonna get it inside the camper. My trailer is a Toy Hauler...No problem whatsoever getting old out and new in... Yeah, I don't think you'll have an issue there. OTOH - for me, I'd have to probably move my island and take out the pantry wall, or remove window. That's why I haven't done it yet. MikeRe: Help with Refrigerator DecisionAgree on thinking through the physical remove and replace aspect first. But I would venture to say probably not much difference dimension wise on the various options. I looked at a 10 cu ft fridge yesterday and it was just a tad smaller than my current Dometic. Heck you may have just as difficult a time getting the old one out as getting the new one in. I've been thinking over the past year or so of doing the same. I've been leaning residential, but paying attention to this thread to see what others recommend. Price point wise, it's an easy decision. $400 vs $1500. Mike
