RE: UP with hookups

The farther North you travel the fewer public parks if any will have EWS sites. You're there for the beauty and tranquility and many have decent shower houses.

RE: LP Gas Detector

I've had to replace the propane detector in our pervious 5er it was ten years old did the same last winter on our present 5yr old. Guess they don't make them like they use to.

RE: 07 nuwa hitchhiker 2

Have you crawled under the trailer yet. Easiest way to find it. On our HH the fresh water tank was just rear of the rear axle. A black pipe was hanging down. If you slide your hand up it there was a valve. If you turn the valve and it does not drain there's a good chance a mud dauber built a nest up in it. I used a bamboo screwer to poke around and get it running. Once it starts your good to go.

RE: Medicare For Full Timers

I spoke to a representative at eHealth and I think I have found a plan that will work, at least for the beginning of 2023. It is a PPO Medicare Advantage plan from Humana available in my zip code. It gives me back $110 per month of the Part B premium. It includes a travel coverage provision that allows me to get the standard rates from any in network provider in the USA. However, when they find out I have moved they will probably cancel the plan and I will have to look for a new plan. I plan to leave my address as is and get all of my correspondence via email. When Medicare discovers I have moved they will probably notify Humana and the clock will start ticking. I will also set up a virtual mailbox in Dallas and I may do a search for plans in that zip code to see if Humana offers something there and I may update my address when I leave Texas.
Why not setup an address with escapees and at the same time find what options are available with supplemental plans. Your find of a PPO with travel sounds as only good within the Humana family. Not a true PPO and they have to pay you to join? Ever wonder why?

RE: heavier trailer tires and fuel economy

You paid for more tires it shouldn't bother you to pay a little more for the safety they provide.

RE: America's first automated RV park

If this the one on I44 we stayed there in 2020 while pandemic panic gripped the nation. Since we had been traveling every where west of the Mississippi and the Southern tier of states we had become quite use to not seeing a person at campgrounds. Everything was done by phone. As for the self service RV Park it was well lite easy to navigate with our DRW and 37ft 5er. Would I Stay there again, sure if it fell into our travel plan.

RE: No power

Is this a residential refrigerator or gas electric? If residential it should be on a separate decacated outlet and which is also powered by an invertor. Fridge either residential or gas electric will never be the main electric on a GFCI.

RE: Best Hitch

Right near 100,000 miles on my B&W hitch. It did need a good cleaning of grease road grit but operates as good as new after that. Now on our 13 year fulltime.

RE: Las Vegas Nevada to Tampa Florida

When you get to Wichita Falls just East US 82 splits from US 287 take it to I30 about 30 miles West of Texarkana and I49 down to I20 at Shreveport. Totally avoid Ft Worth Dallas metroplex.

Is it because my dog didn't get a jab? Should I feel guilty? Auggy has no contact other than the wife and me.

RE: Slide Out Question

Slide outs should function without sticking. Someone didn't do things right. Why buy trouble?

RE: Any issues having slides on both sides?

We've been full-time for 12 years. Never had a problem with slide outs. There was one RV park in AB that had to be built before trailers had slide outs. We took a pass on it.

RE: Need help from experienced woodworker

If you think you have hand rubbed finishes your on the wrong track. I plan to refinish our present kitchen table. Not concerned with the wood they say the finish is cherry, that's what it will be replaced with.

RE: Brakes Broken On The Road

Well first you shouldn't have posted your problem. Got to be smarter in situations like this.
Truth is I drove 20,000 thousand miles with only three functional brakes on the fifth wheel.
Did get them all replaced before a trade in.
Whatever you do is your business I suggest you keep it that way.
You can always edit your post and none will be any the wiser.
