Where to get an annual inspection
I fear this, going in for an annual inspection. My camper is fairly new, but I’m finding things that indicate a low quality build, that don’t seem to have been assembled right, or that have already shaken loose in the first few thousand miles. I thought I’d get another couple things fixed/adjusted, then take it in for an annual inspection just to check the trailer out. What I’d like to avoid most is a breakdown on the road. Somewhere. I know Good Sam is connected, but when I called a large camper sales/repair company, they 1st asked if I bought my camper there. I said no. Then they said they had a 2 month wait list. My concern is that if I make an appointment for something like an annual inspection, with repair of something if they find something, then I’d show up, the camper would sit for an extended time, me waiting at a nearby hotel, the bills mounting… Maybe my fears are unfounded. I’m new at this. But I thought This collective group may have some wisdom on this. Thoughts?
Securing small camper with short bed ‘09 Tacoma
Hey everyone. Tom in Portland, Oregon here. New small truck camper and novice with most things involved but figuring it out as we work on our recently purchased 1983 Perris Valley truck camper. Getting new shocks and airbags installed in my truck this week but I’m wondering if anyone has a 2009 Tacoma four door short bed recommendations for securing the camper properly in the back. We drive it home with heavy duty tie downs but it did shift a little bit in transport, and looking for other options, as it will stay in my truck all summer for some family adventures. Thanks so much!
Leveling
I was just wondering if anybody has any better Solutions for leveling a class c? I am on a very unlevel area where I am parked and I live full-time in my R. V. Im using those plastic levelers and it is really difficult to use because 3 of 4 sides are different heights. I don't know if anybody has any other suggestions that might help. I want to find a way to make it easier to do and a little more secure than what I have now.RV Depreciation
Does anyone know of an online calculator or tool that provides accurate RV pricing and depreciation that is NOT aimed to support dealers? Is there anything with Artificial Intelligence analysis? For people that have recently bought a rig, please let me know how you went about pricing, comparing, and purchasing. I am not interested in “We are okay with it being a sunk cost”.

Sales Tax
Hello, having a weird edge case situation on paying sales tax on new to me TT. TL;DR Sales tax was charged on a casual sale of used TT from non business living trust to me. Tag office cites non existent laws that all trusts are entities thus all are business/dealers. I plan to appeal to GA DOR and or Tribunal as its ridiculous. I am in GA. Trailer was sold to me by a living trust that for legal sake did not engage in any business nor held the TT for commercial reasons and it was stipulated on the BOS. The tag office has slapped me with a big sales tax(few thousand as its a quality TT) as trust = entity = dealer. Note this isnt TAVT but specifically a sales tax on a trailer. What im struggling with is that you cant just blanket call all trusts a "dealer" and skirt the whole casual sale exemption as for all intents and purposes thats what it was. Georgia law is very clear on its definition of a "dealer/business" and this is not it. I cant find any Georgia law that also blanket cover all "entities or trusts" as dealers. Only thing I see that sales tax only applies if the sale of tangible property was done by an entity engaged in business which this living trust isnt. I wanted to post here to see if people ever tried to appeal similar or exact situation because this situation simply ludicrous. If folks are experienced with GA law ill take specific statutes that either support or take apart my case.
