RE: Best tankless water heaters (LP) 2.5gph or higher
Don't forget, as soon as you plumb in propane, 120 volt electric, potable water and or wastewater plumbing you may have problems finding camping spots unless the unit is certified to meet the appropriate standards, I.E. NFPA 1192 / ANSI 119.2.
If you only ever boondock on private land it will likely never be an issue, but elsewhere it's a legal requirement.
You may also have insurance issues without it.
Seriously? I can’t recall that ever being an issue when registering at a park or getting insurance. Any chance you can provide some evidence of those statements?

RE: Best tankless water heaters (LP) 2.5gph or higher
I love my 2.5 gallon Truma Combi gas and/or electric water heater that doubles as a furnace also using gas or electric or both.

RE: Rvers beware
Let’s see.... should I read the actual text of the ordinance or watch a YouTube video interpretation about it :?
I don’t have a problem with the code, but I’m pretty sure the town had a BIG problem if they had to put such a rule in place.

RE: RV toilet paper
A quick search shows Georgia-Pacific is on a list of companies that support right-wing causes and should be boycotted. I guess it does make sense that a discussion about toilet paper should morph straight into politics :B.

RE: AT&T Hot-spot performance?
Do you mean a Netgear hotspot? I had two Netgear Utile Explore units that kept rebooting and had connection issues. I switched to a Netgear 4G LTE Modem and a tp-link router and they work great.

RE: Tool chest in MHbasement
When we moved onto a boat where doing your own maintenance is not an option and space is at a real premium, I elected to go with a Nantucket Tool Bag.

I carried tools to fix anything on the boat in that bag, and still do. Now it lives in my Jeep along with my Makita 12v drill set bag. When we hit the road they both go into the basement of our Class B.

RE: AT&T/Direct TV is Now Losing Over 8500 Customers Per Day
What is everyone else buying brand wise for whale oil? Days are getting short need to fill the lamps up.Here on Nantucket we still hunt our own :B
Back to sat TV... I just had AT&T install another TV in our stick house yesterday. I use their cell network for Internet and Directv. It’s a 100 bucks a month cheaper than Comcast and besides, I hate Comcast. We do not have OTA where we live and I imagine there are many across the country in the same boat.

RE: Real small motor homes; value?
Yes, they are expensive in comparison to other RV types. But for some they are worth it.. That pretty much sums it up. I’ve had 5 different RVs and have traveled a lot of miles. Our Sprinter is the most fun of them all and now suits our needs perfectly.
As we were closing the deal on our Sprinter my wife pointed to a 34 foot gas class A for the same price. I asked if she wanted to look at it and her response was “no way”.
Different strokes for different folks.

RE: What Did You Do To Your Class B Today ?
Taking a ride and adding biocide and a gallon of fuel to wash it down before finally parking in my new barn I noticed the check engine light came on. Took the coach to my local guy and he read a stuck EGR. He reset it and I made it home without a recurrence. If it happens on the next 6 week exercise trip I’ll have him fix it but hopefully it won’t happen until I get near my Mercedes dealer in Florida next winter where I can get warranty service!

RE: Bike rack on Motorhome ladder
Your MH is a 2018 and new, your ladder mounts never had a chance to rust. M.i think if you had read my entire post you would see that my 2018 uses a receiver hitch. I carried bikes on a ladder on my Country Coach which was 5 years old when I bought it and then put on 30k miles.
I do agree that storing them inside is best. On our boat we had folding bikes we stored in the laz.

RE: Bike rack on Motorhome ladder
A static load of stepping on the ladder is much different than a dynamic load of two bikes bouncing up and down over hundreds of miles of travel.Quite amazing therefore that I carried two bikes over 30K miles on my ladder. The bigger concern was lifting the bikes to the the rack when it is mounted high enough for the bikes to clear the bumper. Since we downsized and don't need to tow a vehicle I switched to a Yakima FullSwing receiver rack so I have easy access to the rear doors of our coach.

Isn’t that what air bags are for? :B

RE: What Did You Do To Your Class B Today ?
Well, better late than never... drained the gray and black tanks after our late-March return from Florida, winterized the otherwise drained water system, ran the generator and A/C... and exercised the stereo.
As our travels dictate, we always come home with a day of two of tank usage and no easy dump site. I bought a 6 gallon boat toilet and dump into the bottom half then down the stick-house toilet. Takes me back to my early boating days.
In the next day or two we will go for a ride to get the rust off the brakes, find diesel so I can add a bit of biocide to the tank and wash it down. Then the coach gets a bath and goes into its new home, a barn with a 12 foot ceiling.
