RE: Illegal Towing.... Triple Towing
Not legal in NC.
But I'm seeing it more and more. I've already seen it twice in the past year (on I-95 and I-40). Its most likely folks passing through but its becoming more commonplace.
From what I was told. It is a fairly new law. I learned about it at the RV dealer. He was asked, Said I don't think do any more, and he looked it up. And you can't

RE: why would you do that?
Wow I have to say I am a little shocked that some folks seem to be upset by my question. I was just curious, I wasn't judging anyone. Just wanted to hear other opinions. One of the main reasons we own a RV is to avoid using public facilities. As to why we were watching? We were sitting in our site which was on the path to the bathhouse. There have been several comments that we are odd for watching our neighbours. What kind of a world do you want to live in that people don't smile and say Hi to folks as they walk by?
You mean, Hi have a nice day, and then to your spouse. Look:E he's going to the bath house? It's just different for different people. I don't question you stinking up, and steaming up your RV.
And yes. You may not think so. But you were judging. After all, /He left a perfectly nice class C, and went to a horror of horrors, public restroom.

RE: cashiers, nc
looking for a rv campground near cashiers or highlands, nc. want full service and high up. trying to get away from the summer heat. please any recommendations. bobby
In all honesty. You ain't gonna dodge the heat there. To find the cool in the summer. You really need to come to the NC High Country. Up around Blowing Rock. Linville, and Boone. I would suggest Raccoone Holler in Glendale Springs, Flintlock Family CG near Boone, Or Bonne KOA. You may also try Toe River CG, near Spruce Pines. There is also Honey Bear, near Boone. And there is Secluded Valley Near Linville.
With highs in the 70s, and lows in the 50s. We have never had to use AC in the summer. And we have camper up there for 30 years. Even when it was 100 degrees down here. It was blanket weather up there.
I don't know why, But the Northern Mountain area, Is much cooler than the Southern Mountain area. Come on up.

RE: fiver v/s TT
Fact is. With today's hitches. TT tow as well as a 5er. So that's a wash. But there are other things to consider. Like a 5er with the same overall length will have more room, But you do lose your truck bed. A 5er does have lots more storage in it, or under it. A TT is flat, So there are no stairs inside, and less stairs to get it as well.
A 5er will usually cost more, and weigh more. It really just comes down to what you want. It's all about personal choice

RE: why would you do that?
You know what. It's my money, It's my shower, it's my body, and it ain't none of your business. I use my bathroom, and or my shower when I want to, and I use the CG restroom or shower when I want to. CAUSE I CAN. I paid for them. I'll use them.
Plus 10 people trying to use one shower is kind of tight. We bought our camper to use the way we want to.
BTW. I don't sit a round and watch you. What kind of thrill are you getting watching me.

RE: Lite weight TT that sleeps 10????
Look at my signature. The 288BHS Apex sleeps 10 easily. And has several times. It comes in at 4811LBS yellow sticker weight. It is 31' over all. Ducted AC, Queen in master, and the bunks are 2 full sized beds. The extra large dinette makes a bed, as does the sofa. The slide has the sofa, and kitchen in it.
It is made of Azdel, a super lite weight composite, with good insulation values. There a re 2 doors, one into the living area, and the other into the bathroom. Which we have come to love. Especially for the kids. Just set them in, and they don't have to track thru the entire TT.

RE: Suggestions for a lightweight small travel trailer
You need to look at off road popups. Small ones at that. And they will have head room, and you will fit in the bunk.

RE: air conditioner noise
You don't need 30 amp service to run the AC fan. Just turn the switch to ON. Then you will know if it was the fan or not. And in truth. You don't need 30 amp to run the AC. It should not pull 30 amps to start, and run. Supposedly. You only need 30 amp to run the entire TT.
If for some reason the AC does pull 30 amps. The only thing that will happen, is you will trip the breaker of the socket you are plugged into. Un plug, and reset. Fixed.

RE: Unsafe at any speed....
Like as not. The tire was 7 years old, and even though it was barely used. It was still 7 years old. TT tires do not as a rule last 7 years. NONE of them. The tires you replaced last year were 6 years old. They were just looking for a place to blow out. I never run my trailer tires more than 4 1/2 years. No matter what they look like. Or even if they have never touched the road.

RE: Getting started....tow vehicle recommendations....PLEASE!
Honestly. An Expedition will tow the TT you are looking at just fine, with power to spare. As for buying a TV for the next TT. IMOP a totally useless thing to do. Why? In all likely hood. You will keep the TV less than 10 years. Most trade long before then. And there is a great chance you WILL keep the TT more than 10 years, as most people don't trade TTs all that often.
Also. Travel Trailers are in fact getting lighter all the time. My 2004 27' TT weighed 150lbs MORE dry than does my 2013 31' TT. So even thought you may want a larger TT in 8-10 years. There is a great chance it will be lighter than the one you buy now.
and there is a even greater chance that in 8-10 years you will already have a new TV.

RE: Getting started....tow vehicle recommendations....PLEASE!
Don't forget that SUVs also have a low receiver rating. Another issue with SUVs is their low RGAWR (the allowed weight on the rear axle).
????. My Expedition had a 600lb / 6000lb weight carrying, and a 1000 / 9500lb Weight distributing, receiver capacity, The same as my truck.
However. It did only have a 500lb / 5000lb weight carrying bumper capacity. Again, Same as my truck. BTW.

RE: Smokey Mountains
I would suggest changing your title, and asking about Roanoke. That's a good long way from the Smoky Mountains.
Try a Google search as well. There are several campgrounds listed around Roanoke.

RE: power window doesnt work
I would suggest taking it to a service center. The new windows are as simple as putting it back on a track. You usually have to replace the entire assembly.
UNLESS it is just a fuse. Look in the fuse box diagram for one that says passenger window.
Try pulling up on the panel, once you have the bolts out.

RE: Do Hosts Do This?
I am really sorry but I couldn’t imagine asking the question…
especially for the unit with the lights out and presumably already sleeping, as the ones needing notified the most…
I can't believe that instead of being grateful. He is mad. Just can't please some people.
I know of a incident where going around notifying campers would have saved a life, as the storm came up. the creek overflowed, and washed a man asleep in his tent away.

RE: ceiling lights
Campfire time has it right. Plus, you can get lights only, that plug in, and clip onto the shepherd's pole for lights back into the bunk

RE: Be open on Sundays!!!
Terryallan:
So, would you like the fire and police departments closed, hospitals closed, seniors care facilities closed, etc.????????????????
And what about that very large group of folks who celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday, does that mean we should shut down on Saturday as well?
Your selfish perception of what is right is not necessarily right and your perception is clearly not the only way. Your opinions are just that, yours, do not try to force others to accept your opinions.
Not selfish. You can join, and welcome. Not trying to force anything on you. As for the Seventh Day Advent. They do not work on Saturday. At least. Around here they don't.
I was just telling why things are closed on Sunday. You don't have to like it. You don't have to believe. But the truth is. Places close on Sunday, So their employees can go to church. Chick Fil A is just one example. In fact. When I was growing up. NOTHING was open on Sunday out of respect for the Lord's day. If you wanted something. You got it on Saturday.
IF that upsets you. Maybe, You believe more than you want to admit. How do you hate something you don't believe in?

RE: HELP...BLACK STREAKS
We have a 30' 5th wheel that is way too big for us to scrub with our health issues. I know there are many cleaners out there, but we don't want to remove the paint or finish either. Is there anything "safe" we can use to even help out with those ugly marks? I am wondering about a decent brand of wash and wax and using a long handled scrub brush?:h
Couple things. First. You should invest in the extended gutters, and down spouts. They really help, as they keep water from running down the side from the roof.
Also. IF you can't wax it. You can have it professionally done. Only really needs it once a year, and it makes it easier to wash the black streaks , and bugs off.
