RE: Help - TV - Lance 2445 & Escalade
That TT will be 7000 pounds wet/loaded. At 13% tongue weight plus 100 pounds of hitch...1000 pounds. You and your family plus stuff in the Escalade will be more than 400. Nope, won’t work...safely. Not enough payload.
RE: Has anyone added an extra water tank to RV roof
“Some negatives” include adding 400 pounds plus tank weight to the highest point of the RV. How much did you determine this would raise your COG?
RE: Painfully slow internet
Is your signal strong? If it is, not much you can do.
Such as low voltage you aren’t getting what the campground advertised.
RE: marginal park power on hot days
Low voltage will kill your electrical devices day or night. Don’t assume voltage will be higher at night. You need an autoformer. If that’s too expensive for you Hughes makes a $18 voltage meter. Watch and if below 108 disconnect IMO. You paid for RV park electric...but they are supplying inadequate, damaging power. Ask for a partial refund.
RE: Class C vs Trailer for Cross country with family? Help
“Will be driving 3 days out and back to max time spent...”
Six full days of nothing but driving may permanently make your kids hate driving vacations, camping and all things associated with this trip. Heck, I don’t want to go with you!
RE: sway
You are maxing your F150. New truck needs to be at least an F250.
Forget the “dry” weight. Useless.
Glad you have new tires but tires don’t affect sway.
Air bags level the truck. Nothing else.
Your “bit” of reading isn’t sufficient.
RE: Quailridge Park Model folleys
“Apparently making more money on unemployment is more attractive than the paying job.”
Why swipe at all RV manufacturing workers? Their kids aren’t in school and may need care and supervision. Child care is mostly closed down. They could be concerned about their own health and have underlying health issues. Their elderly parents might have been forced to leave their retirement homes. Sorry someone worried about a national pandemic messed with your schedule.
RE: Adding Batteries / Refer Support
Throwing batteries at an issue without an energy survey to determine what you really need isn’t the best course of action.
RE: DESPERATE NEWBIE
Driving the motorhome when not going from A to B is the worst way to charge the battery.
A/C won’t run on batteries.
Buy a generator...3000 watts will be sufficient in most cases.
