RE: Insane first RV trip plan?
Yes retirement is great, going on 23 years now. Retired at 47. Regardless, if it’s is supposed to be a fun trip for all concerned, less travel more stops, see more things.
Nope, not a reverse snow flake, been to every state, even those that have different political views than mine. I don’t go to large cities as a general rule, never have liked big cities. Seattle or most of it may be safer than I think. However, maybe I should have left that line out.
First thing to consider is travel per day, butt in seat time. And with current issues in Seattle why go there unless there is family to see. 5-6 hours a day is enough for us, and one one day. We plan on no more than 200-250 miles a day and then a couple of rest/explore days. RV trips should be relaxing not how many miles a day you can handle.
Have fun.
So, umm what are you even talking about, about Seattle?
Or are you just another one of those reverse snowflakes like the couple other ****** on here who now are making a stand by “not camping” in states they don’t agree with from a political perspective?
Or are you referencing the George Floyd riots that happened almost 3 years ago? If so, I’m not sure how to put this, but that was over….almost 3 years ago! Lol
250miles a day and a few days to relax in between each travel day? Ahhhh retirement must be lovely. Thank you for sharing that with us….

RE: How long should a battery last?
Does the fridge have a propane option? If so you should use gas when boon docking. Will use very little battery to operate.

RE: Are bicycles covered for roadside assistance?
Do an internet search for “Bicycle Roadside Service”. You will find several companies will provide it as a rider on a policy. What actual services they provide varies.

RE: Tire Rotation
While you have the tires off, give them a good bath. Good tire maintenance.

RE: Awning arm does not release.
Sounds like awning arms may not be square causing the one side to jam when closed. Might try LIGHTLY tapping each side at the top with a hammer.

RE: Seven States to Ban the Sale of Gas Powered Cars in 2035
There are viable alternatives to all electric now and coming. One of course is hybrids as mentioned. One gaining traction is eFuels made from captured co2 and water, then there’s Hydrogen.
I’ve been thinking about the Wrangler 4Xe. For my at home needs it would be fine for my normal daily activities in regards to electric only miles. I can charge it at home. As a toad, not so much due to weight. At over 5k lbs not viable with my gasser mh.

RE: RV Parks near Charleston, SC
There are two KOA’s in the Charleston area. Mount Pleasant is a great one. One near Summerville is a dump (IMO) but does have long term campers. James Island county park is great if you can get in. We’re going to Oak Plantation CG in a few weeks, never been there, nice pictures, decent reviews. .

RE: Black tank clean out
Check in your bathroom cabinet(s) under the sink. You may find the piping to the black tank. It will most likely have a small plastic back flow preventer which have been known to fail.

RE: Class B license to other states
I fairly sure if you actually move versus passing through, to another state you will need to get a new license and tags for all drivers/ vehicles within a set time period. Check with Texas.

RE: Automatically connect windows 10 PC to open WiFi?
As far as I know automatically joining an unknown network is not supported, and you really don’t want that. You should understand what networks your connecting to.

RE: Motorhome tires - recommendations.
No need to be in a rush to swap tires unless it will set your mine at ease. Have them inspected by a tire place. Chances are they’re good for a couple more years. Michelin has a swap out timeframe of 10 years.

RE: In Search of Local Repair Shops for Motorhome
Not in DFW area, you have a very common problem with Ford based motorhomes, esp class A’s. I called Ford and like you they gave me a list where upon calling, each was was nice but said NO, they don’t have any bays to work on them. I DID find one that will do simple stuff that can be done through the hood area, inside the mh, tires.
Mostly I take mine to a truck service center, not a Ford dealership.

RE: Michelin commercial tire lifespan
If swapping tires at 6/7 years regardless of condition makes it easier to sleep at night, great. Tire manufacturers support a 10 year discard timeframe with proper care and annual inspections after 7.
