RE: Shortin Yellows
If you can prove it, and you've gotten a ticket, start a class action lawsuit, you'll make millions. If you can't prove it or have never gotten a ticket, well I guess you're outta luck, no harm no foul. P.S. A news story doesn't constitute proof in court.

RE: Grills that hang on the side wall of the trailer
I've had mine for 6 years and use it all the time. I've never had any problems of any type, sides of the trailer, awning, smoke detector, etc.

RE: Add grease zerk to axle or not?
I use mine. Been using them for over 10 years. I generally take the drum off and check the bearings, etc. every other year, and use the EZ lube the in between years. Even the years I take the drum off I still give the EZ lube a couple of shots. Lot of false information on here - you don't have to fill the entire void in the hub, your chances of blowing out the seal are near zero - unless your trying to fill the entire void in the hub (alot of people confuse EZ lube with bearing buddys). Just make sure you use the correct grease as recommended by the manufacturer and you're good to go. P.S. If the bearing went out you can expect the seal to be compromised. That had nothing to do with the EZ lube feature. You have to check the bearings regularly. You can check the bearing simply by jack the tire up occasionly and checking for playing and listening/feeling/looking for anything unusual while you spin the wheel.

Go bigger and heavier and build a roll cage inside around you then go camping.

RE: Is it safe to use normal garden hose for water??
I use my garden hose all the time to fill my water tank. If it makes you feel better, sanitize your hose (the same way you would your water tank) then use it. Or you can do like I do, flush it for a minute or two first then fill your tank.

RE: New TT battery box full of water
No reason for my battery to leak unless the case is damaged. If the case is damaged I'm guessing the battery box has got to be damaged even worse. So there's no reason I shouldn't drill a drain hole in the bottom of the battery box to let the rain water out.

RE: Travel time pulling TT
I usually travel at about 63 mph on the interstate, I plan on averaging 50 mph with stops and everything; on long trips I plan on traveling about 500 miles per day.

RE: just turning around at home?????
What's is the tongue weight and what is the rated capacity of your hitch? As an example, If the tongue weight is 1000 lbs. and your hitch is rated for 500 lbs without WD I wouldn't do it.

RE: trailer damage
I'm guessing form your two posts that you are on a seasonal site pretty much set up permanently. That makes it more difficult.
The only thing you may be able to do is get the a guy from the RV place to come out and give you an estimate, but that is a long shot unless they are already in the area for some other reason. Other than that I see any good options.

We can't deal with the hot weather like ya'll do. When I get cold I can put on another sweater, when I get hot, there is only so much I can take off before I get arrested.

RE: RV Paid Off
I love these threads...
I love how the people who don't have title in hand tell those with a title in hand that its better in so many ways to not have the title in hand.
Makes so much sense to me...
OP congrats! It sure feels good to have that title in hand doesn't it.That $10,000.00 that I didn't take out of the fund 10 years ago is today worth just over $23K. My payments over the last 10 years total $13,052.40. You do the math and tell me how much i need that title in my hand. I could pay off the balance today and still be $10,000.00 plus to the good.
All I'm saying is - it don't have to make sense to you, but what works for me, works for me.

RE: RV Paid Off
where can you earn more interest nowadays than it costs to borrow? was talking to my tax lady a while back and we came to the conclusion that instead of refinancing a home loan, it would pay to just pay it off.
bumpyMy VTSMX holding has returned 8.9% over the last 10 years, my RV loan was 5.55% over the same 10 years. Your tax lady should stick to tax advice.
I am not talking about over the last 10 years. where can I invest the money TODAY at a guaranteed, insured, good return?
bumpyYour question was "where can you earn more interest nowadays than it costs to borrow?" I provided one answer for earning more interest than the cost to borrow backed up by the researchable facts. You seem to want to indicate that it's not possible to earn more interest than the cost to borrow, I disagree. Donald Trump didn't become a millionaire by paying cash. And there will be more Donald Trump's down the road.
But my point is just this. Financing vs. paying cash is not a one size fits all answer. We should just let everyone decide for himself and quit trying to play finacial planner or denigrate someone because of their choice. Free financial advice is worth exactly what you pay for it.
