Other than the most obvious, what are the pros and cons of 1099 versus the company withholding taxes on a workkamper position?

RV Insurance
I had an incredible teaching opportunity come my way and will be on the road full time for the next 6 months. When we got insurance on our Winnebago (December 2011) our agent asked if we were living in it. At the time we weren't. Now things have changed. While I can pick the normal carriers, I'm looking for a provider who has a combination of excellent coverage at a fair rate and outstanding service. I would be looking for full coverage.
PM me if more comfortable.

Questions On AMAZON locations????
A few questions on the three Kentucky, Kansas and Nevada Amazon locations: 1. Which state has the best tax advantage (as in no state income tax and lowest sales tax)? 2. Which location has the closest campground to the Amazon facility and is it within walking distance? 3. Which state has the best weather conditions in terms of least number of days freezing?
THANKS!!!

RE: Lighest Truck As A TOAD
THANKS sch911...a light truck is EXACTLY what I'm looking for...something to have with me to "get around" and not have to go in the Winnie...initially I was thinking of an older Datsun truck...something along that line would be perfect for my needs...

Lighest Truck As A TOAD
Considering a small truck as a TOAD...would like the bed as additional storage...truck doesn't need to be brand new...an older truck line that has a good reputation will be fine...what is the approximate cost for setting up a vehicle to be towed. I will be towing with a 2000 Winnebago Minnie Winnie. THANKS!!!

RE: Workamping With Larger Dogs
Now that I'm retired, I'm considering some workingcamping opportunities, and my "Baby-Girl" (all 50 lbs of her) will be my companion. I ask up front for their pet policies and have never been disappointed. Our pets are our children! "Baby-Girl" is a wonderful traveling companion, excellent RV manners and loves meeting new people.
If "Baby-Girl" is not accepted...I don't need the position! That my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it!

Deep Cycle vs Regular Starting Batteries
A member commented on my battery post that based on the description of the battery (800 Cold Cranking Amps),I have two regular starting batteries in my Winnebago and not deep cycle. My question is: what is the difference between the two and if I do replace with deep cycle, what improvement should I have? THANKS.

RE: Recharge Coach Batteries???
The batteries I currently have in the coach are Duralast Marine Batteries, 800 Cold Cranking Amps...I've check the fluid levels and the connections...all are well...if replacement is the answer...what is a battery you've had excellent service with?
I believe those are NOT deep cycle batteries, rather starting batteries since they are measured in CCA. Deep cycle batteries are measure in AH (amp hours).
If this is the case, that's your problem. Get rid of the starting batteries and get deep cycle ones.

What is the difference between starting batteries and deep cycle batteries?

Recharge Coach Batteries???
RE: 2000 Minnie Winnie, 429U, Cummins generator
Went to start the generator today...nothing...checked the levels...nothing on anything (batteries/blwater/graywater/etc.) Starte d the motorhome and drove to town (about 30 minutes)...I now have the highest level for the batteries...and all other levels are reading as they normally do...still the generator won't start...drive back home...coach battery levels are high...but after cranking once or twice...levels are drained...I'm assuming the batteries need charging...am I correct...if so...a recommendation on a charger...all comments greatly appreciated.

Any site better than CoolWorks?
I am currently exploring options for workcamping and am interested in finding the "jewel" of a place that is a perfect fit. Many possibilites are evident and CoolWorks is "really cool"...I'm wanting to know if there might be a "cooler" site out there. I'm interested in positions that offer pay in addition to a full hook up site. All comments appreciated.

RE: 1996 Winnebago Rialta
EBAY has changed a lot from it's beginning days and while there are certainly some excellent dealers, there are MANY scammers! I smell a scam in this one. Quoting, "This auction is final and sold as is with receipts for the service done. We require a $500.00 deposit Through PayPal within 48 hours of auction ending for good faith and a email message as to pickup or plans for arrangement for delivery (buyer responsibility). Cash for final payment. Clear title presented to buyer after final payment received and cleared. Needs to be picked up within the month unless arraignments have been made."
Cash for final payment and you get clear title after payment cleared????? Second chance offering? Does that mean that someone backed out? Why? This whole description smells and sounds too much like something you'd see on Craig's List. I'd steer clear of this one!!!

RE: Need recommendations for rv service near Conroe, Texas
Healeyman...THANK YOU for the recommendation. I've dealt with the cabover leak since just after purchase (a year ago). As a proactive measure, I've Eternabonded all of the roof seams and did some recaulking. I've also been somewhat successful in minimizing the leak and now keep that area covered when I expect rain. I've always been open to a pressure test and even a "turn key" job with the repair. Just haven't found anyone I would be comfortable with during the work. 75 miles is not that far to drive...IF the company knows what they're doing. I continue to use an automechanic in Sulphur, Louisiana...which is a 75 mile drive. THANK YOU so much!

RE: Need recommendations for rv service near Conroe, Texas
I have had a good experience with Camperland.. I had a problem that two other RV Service places couldn't figure out and they knew the problem right away..
Where is "Camperland"?...do you know if they do pressure tests for coach leaks?
