RE: trailer lift kit
Grand Design generally builds a quality trailer and quality means heavy, or at least heavier than a cheaply built trailer of the same size.
Do NOT believe any truck sales person who says "You can pull that with this truck." They are "misinformed". Second only to trailer sales person who says "You can pull this with your current truck."
You know the GEICO commercial where the speaker's nose keeps growing?? That is what the sales people look like by the end of the day!
RE: Buying an RV with patched water leak
Another pricing tool it to take the exact year and model to RV-TRADER dot com and see what private sellers are asking. Don't bother with dealers (who have been known to "assist" the truth) and take asking prices as a starting place for some horse trading.
RE: replacement hand held shower
We bought an Oxygenics from CW when we had our first trailer and hove now transferred it from trailer to trailer to trailer.

RE: Water Fill up - Flying J?
We travel up and down 95 often and use New Green Acres whenever it is convenient. Nice people running it and easy off/on.

RE: Florida to Yosemite
If you can arrange it, stop by Caverns of Sonora (sp?) in West-central Texas.
Nice little on-site campground. Amazing underground tour.
Moderators. HELP
Why do we keep getting error messages when trying to contact mods??
Go to Beginning RVing and look at user named "24hrtowingusa". Pure commercial user!
I tried on two different groups to contact a mod and got error messages both times.
Great management!
RE: I-4 though Orlando
I wouldn't take my trailer on I-4 anywhere in Orange County on a bet. Sudden lane shifts...no markings...barrels pop up out of nownere...
Two more years and three more is likely!!!
RE: Length and Height
Federal Highway Administration requires 13'-6'' clearance over any part of a federally funded roadway (including state roads with partial fed funds).
Any clearance less than 14'-6'' must be clearly warned at least a half mile in advance and at the last "Bypass Opportunity" intersection.
per FHWA Greenbook.
