I was 81 Christmas day. The huge age gap between our generation and those <50 means differences in how we travel and camp. The instant communication on a cell phone of the facebook escapees better fits their needs and lifestyle. I predict the escapees discussion forums will mirror the decline of the FMCA discussion forums, although some years later, as they too have a facebook site. -
I'm sorry to hear Pam's getting worse, becoming a caregiver for your life mate is difficult, for me anyway. That IMO is what we signed up for when we married. My wife has gotten so much worse in the last 2 years we are not able to use our MH when/if we ever get it back from the body shop. It's almost too late for us to move to a smaller house. It's all I can manage to keep up the outside work and the inside work. I suspect our move will be from our house directly to assisted-living or a nursing home. Lins want's to downside, sell our 40' MH and buy a smaller RV. One of these electric units appears to meet her needs; if they become available this year. At this point, whatever she wants I plan to make happen while she remains mobile.

Linda and Glenn, they also have to take into account the state of the art systems that use much less power or use it in new ways. Look at the storage capacity of the batteries versus the 12 volt/six volt battery AGM versus other types of batteries versus these dedicated battery packs with very large energy density. I don't even remember what we had in our first 1990 rig for holding and fresh but it was a lot less than our second rig we only had for a year or two then sold. But we could go a week easily on our fresh and holding tanks. I believe we had 50 fresh and 30 black and 20 gray or some such. However we did overflow the gray once and it backed up into the shower drain! With their combined black and gray I hope they have a holding tank back-flow preventer valve of some sort. Regardless I find the actually new systems instead of the same old reefers. roof A/C units, big Propane furnaces and water heaters, very interesting. A friend of mine who repaired and sold used cars once remarked that there is an a** for every seat, meaning one size does not fit all. Lots more info here: "WARNING! This New RV Will DESTROY The Entire RV Industry! (Pebble Flow)" Wow this video shows a bunch more from an experienced RVr. -
Rod did you figure out what you are doing with that yet? Sorry I don't frequent these forums much anymore so just saw this.

I am 50 but I joined when I bought my truck in 2018. 6 years ago. I would have been 44. Seems longer than that.
