RE: Just bought my first travel trailer
Diesel exists for better MPG and longer range but cost per gallon may make things about equal. Towing will be a much better experience with the diesel.

RE: Just bought my first travel trailer
You have the correct idea, get the F-250 or a F-350 SRW with the 6.7 diesel. What other nonsense did the dealer suggest?

RE: Flexible PEX hose.
Hose is available from eTrailer as well as many RV stores. I have never seen a proper 1/2 PEX to 1/2 hose adapter. Just because the RV industry clamps hose to a PEX fitting does not make it right. You need a hose barb that is larger and a different shape to connect hose. I find it funny that they say that an RV is tested to a certain water pressure while containing these mismatched components. A fitting that might work for you is this one, although still not correct. A hose should be connected to a barb such as this.

RE: Frog in fresh water holding tank!
First you are posted in the wrong area.
Is the frog? still alive?
Try filling the tank to overflowing to see if he can craw out or be washed out. Other than that, you probably need to pull the tank out.
If you connect a hose to the drain, you can fill from the bottom.

RE: 20 year loan for RV?
...Buying on margin works great when the market is red hot. When it takes a dump, it's really painful.Not at all, it's only painful if you sell. Holding a paper loss costs you nothing, just like holding a paper gain nets you nothing.
I thought that "paper" nonsense was obsolete 30 years ago. If your portfolio is down 25%, you done lost 25%. Don't believe that? Ask yourself if your neighbor invests the same amount as your new low figure on the day you bottom out if he has more, less or the same.
There is so much bull that comes out of investment firms, for example:
In it for the long run.
Hang in there, it'll come back.
Market timing won't work.
And many more geared to keep all your money with them.

RE: S&B electrical question
Without seeing what you have, I think you should look into wireless controls for the lights and fans.

RE: Water damage under shower.
Some have the floor hacked out under the shower so bad that there is little support. Then the drain pipes might take the load and crack, ask me how I know. If you can't find the problem, then pull the shower base and do it right.

You are rather early for camping in PA, many campgrounds don't open till mid April. Of course this year might be tough all season.

Perhaps you are looking at a vent hose and the tank is full.

RE: Newbie looking for advice!
Price would be OK for a garage kept trailer, but they are rare. Since it has a few years on it, and likely stored outdoors, there will be some degradation of exterior surfaces. You need to inspect the roof, caulking and all soft parts for aging. Water intrusion is common and will destroy a trailer quickly, so check everywhere for stains and soft spots. If you find anything that is suspect, do not buy. Appliances and most everything that can be easily removed can be repaired, but rot in the roof, floor and walls should be thought of as terminal cancer.
The one thing that I don't like about that particular trailer is that it is big with small water tanks.

RE: Hand-powered chainsaw -- for emergency use
I have one with long ropes for cutting limbs that even a pole pruner won’t reach. It works OK once you toss the bean bag tied to one rope in the desired location. I sure wouldn’t want to cut a load of firewood with it.

There is a TP shortages at my local stores. Now would it make sense for me to just buy a roll or two and hope that I won't be raking up dry leaves next week?
