RE: replacement hand held shower
I replaced an outside shower hose that had a broken fitting. I found it difficult to use fixtures designed for houses and just went with a similar hose from an RV supply house. The threads were much different.

RE: which size drinking water hose?
Having a pressure limiting device is much more important than what sized hose.

RE: Help. Will This Work?
Ask the manufacturer to be sure.
If you are buying a truck to fit your TC, then go with an 8 foot box. Much less leverage on your rear axle.
If you don't have an 8 foot box your are getting only part of a truck.

RE: Using RV in winter, including water
People live in RVs year around in cold country. You have to learn to make a few adjustments. Look it up if you are unsure.

RE: Buying F350 with an eye towards the future
Measure the height of your fender wells with and without the trailer to help decide if you need a WD hitch. They should not be that different say less than an inch and a half. Otherwise the front axle gets light and your rig will wander around more than without the TT.

RE: Using RV in winter, including water
Put insulation under your rig to the ground. Skirting. Most people use heat tape and or insulation on the waterlines going in and out.

RE: Hitch requirements
Depends on the set-up. An Equalizer hitch for instance has arms on both sides. A sway bar attaches on only one side.
Can you show a photo?

RE: Alternative Generator For our campers
Solar with inexpensive gen backup.
With a long cord off your TT, you can leave the gen in the back of your truck and run it with the tailgate down.

RE: Used truck camper
I started with a camper. It is easy to get sold on a large heavy one at the RV show. Great appeal for towing a boat or horse trailer. Don't go too big. I found driving with one even on an F-350 was not good in the mountains on windy roads, especially those banked the wrong way. It was difficult in the wind.
Too small for a long trip and too much trouble for a short trip. They are a compromise.

RE: Dogs with jobs
Calves and lambs have started here in Nevada and a lot of places.
Some people like having babies earlier in the year, mostly California or the low desert.
Nothing like a good dog for herding. They are worth two Texas brushpoppers.

RE: Buying F350 with an eye towards the future
I have been driving a F-350 for 18 years. I have pulled everything with it.
I have pulled 3-4,000 pounds without a WD hitch just fine.
A horse trailer can go around 5,000 or a little more because it is short and does not put much leverage on the hitch.
A travel trailer over 5,000 pounds greatly benefits from a WD hitch even on a one ton truck.
