RE: Travel Trailers vs Motor Home
We never actually owned a motorhome but rented them quite a bit before we decided on a travel trailer. The decision was based on practicality as once we were set up with the motorhome we were basically trapped in the campground. A travel trailer gave us the flexibility to explore once we set up the trailer.

RE: 2004 Trail Bay 27DS Water Heater/
The only way to get the exact model number is to look at the label on it. Manufacturers can and do vary what model goes into their units depending on availability and what the original owner may have ordered.

RE: Camp light from Aliexpress - don't!
Try looking at OLight. I replaced all my AA and AAA powered lights with rechargeables from them. I have no connection to the company other than buying their products.

RE: Black water tank health concerns and questions
It is so much safer to use public toilets and showers and sinks than using your own facilities where you have full control over the cleanliness. Personally, I will take the risks involved in using all the parts of my self contained unit.

RE: California to Ban the Sale of New Gasoline Cars by 2035
Side note: As of 2025 banks in Australia will no longer write loans on new gasoline powered vehicles. Makes you wonder how a country that sometimes struggles to meet normal electric needs will handle an almost instant influx of electric vehicles.

RE: headed to Myrtle Beach
We travel 17 quite a bit. No current issues on it that I am aware of. We use it to go down to Charleston and even when there is construction it does not really affect traffic. Traffic itself could be an issue once you get to Murrells Inlet. Peak traffic is Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. We(locals) avoid the area during those times. Come on a weekday and leave on a weekday will make the trip the easiest. Avoid lunchtime on any day. Enjoy your stay!

RE: New to fifth wheels - help with trailer weight
Ignore the dry weight as it is meaningless. Go by max gross weight and use 22% as a relatively safe number for pin weight. The trailer will probably weigh more than that dry weight by the time it gets to the dealer.

RE: Storing trailer out of state a campground storage
There are many thousands of trailers stored in and around MB. Treat it the same way as if you had it home and getting it ready for winter. Do a full winterize on it as we can get some temps in the 20's. Bring the battery home and take all the foodstuffs out of it. In the spring inspect it from the roof down as you would at home. Dewinterize it and check the tires. Do everything as if it was stored at home and don't forget to bring the battery back.
In case you are not aware, there are probably hundreds of rv storage lots in the area. You might want to shop around. Some may offer the same service as the campgrounds. I have not checked recently but not long ago Jellystone Park in Tabor City was a dollar a day and things do not go missing there. It is about 45 minuted to the beach from there.

RE: Hedging Gas Prices
A 20,000 gallon tank under the backyard could buffer those price changes a bit. Of course, you would have to mix in your own additive package and ethanol (if you want to decrease your mileage).

RE: Few parts needed
The center pin of your seven way plug is for the reverse lights. There is probably no wiring going to the center pin of the trailer side connector or it dead ends in the junction box the pigtail ends in. If you run wiring from the junction box to the tail lights and install tail lights with an integral backup light you will now have backup lights.
I would not bother if it was me as my unit came with backup lights and they do not add anything to the backing experience.
You might be better off replacing all the lights with LED fixtures to make your lights lots more reliable and trouble free.

RE: New awning issue
Roll the awning closed a 1/4 turn
Yes that is it. A lot of rollers will go a little more than they should. When deploying, stop when the flap is on the bottom. Be aware that your awning will collect water during rain no matter where the flap is. Roll it in when it is raining or put a pitch on it so the water will not pool or you will be in for a lot of grief.

RE: Lance 825 toilet leak
Use a mirror! Turn off pump, open tap and when there is no pressure get a mirror and loosen the supply line to the toilet. Good chance you need a new washer. Find a plumbing supply or big box store and get a new one using the old one as a guide. It should be only a hand tight fitting with a good washer..
