RE: Screwing into shower wall?
On all three trailers that I have owned, I just used screws into the plastic surround. If you push in on the plastic you usually can feel where there is a solid surface (wood) behind and that works well, but if not just into the plastic will work. (naturally make sure there are no pipes where you want it)
I drill a pilot hole through the plastic and then force the screw into the wood. I also put a dab of silicon at the hole prior to screwing the screw in.

RE: When is the Robo Call Legislation taking effect?
Supposedly the legislation was approved, but I see no change on our end and we still are getting four or five calls a day.
Naturally we don't pick them up

RE: Free 1996 35’ Gulfstream Innsbrook.. worth it?
If you have nothing better to do and want to restore it for a hobby, go for it.
I have built three houses from the ground up, (including plumbing and wiring) and I find it is much easier to build new from scratch then to restore.
I wouldn't touch it, but if you do; make sure to check out the frame and axels first.

RE: bottle jacks for stabilization?
In accordance with the three new trailers that I have had over the years, they all say to not raise the trailer with the stabilizers. They are strictly for stabilization and you could bend the frame.
I think you might be making a mistake raising the wheels off the ground with bottle jacks under the frame.
Just my thoughts !

RE: Park Model /RVFlood Insurance
We had a one year old 40 foot travel trailer on our lot in Key Largo and I had it insured with Progressive Insurance. It was insured for my purchase price for as long as I owned it.
One year after we had it Hurricane Irma sent a five foot surge of salt water through it and naturally totaled it. I had a check for the
full purchase price several weeks later.
I now have a replacement trailer there with the same coverage (the best money I have ever spent in my life! )
You might want to check with Progressive

RE: How early is too early?
Lets see:
My better half is usually up at 8:00 AM. then we have our breakfast.
After that we enjoy my fresh ground secret blend coffee for about a half hour while we solve the problems of the world. After that we take our two mile walk along a beautiful mountain trout stream.
Then it's about eleven AM and I start my outside chores.
Thankfully we are in the National Forest with no close neighbors.

RE: Newbie in trouble, cleaned ac filter cover won’t go back on
Same thing happened to me on our brand new trailer.
Turn the grill around. You are trying to put it in backwards
At least that is what my problem was

RE: How does everyone transport their kayak
I see every one carries their yaks kinda on their side , J bars , why ? Is it because they are two wide if ya put two side by side >
I carry ours on the truck cap roof, while the two bikes and gear are in the truck bed.
I use J cradles when I want to carry two kayaks and one canoe. The J cradles allow for more room.
If I am just carrying two kayaks I carry them on saddles which gives them better support and less wind resistance.
I could never figure why people use J cradles just to carry one or two boats.
And if you are thinking of a Thule "Hullivator" you better have a lot of money!

RE: FL Keys in June
If you are a kayaker, paddleboarder or canoer it can't be topped. the water is clear as drinking water.
We love Key Largo paddling in and around the mangroves and mangrove tunnels, and viewing sharks, rays, parrot fish,d mangrove snappers and sea turtles.
With that said, a lot of people are disappointed in the fact that there are are no good long sandy beaches like on the east or west coast of the main land

RE: If money was no object,....
Whatever island I decided to buy.
You better be careful with that one.
A few years ago a good friend of mine bought two adjacent islands that are off the Florida Keys. If you have ever gone over the seven mile bridge you would see them in the Atlantic on the left hand side.
One of them was two tiny to even camp on, but he had big plans for the larger one and was going to make it a paddle in remote camping place.
Along came Hurricane Irma and split the larger one in half and now he is the owner of three tiny useless islands!

RE: light bulbs - Grrrrrrr
I completely agree with you !
I don't care what is "efficient" and what isn't "efficient". I want my regular incandescent and I like my 40, 60, 75, and 100 watts to be just that.
I have found that you can still get them at some of the Dollar Tree stores.
