  1. It's also been suggested that the US just turn all public lands over to the states to manage. Wouldn't that "save" the most?
  2. I would try to clean the aluminum up but not patch it - it is functioning as a big heat sink and patching with a different material will probably not improve matters. Having a clean surface and good thermal transfer is important. I would probably use thermal mastic not the anti-oxidant, but you do need to use something applied to clean and bright aluminum. I would use a 3M/scotchbrite surface conditioning disc (or similar from Home Depot, etc) for surface preparation.
  3. If you want to get away from black water, my choice would be a composting toilet. I know several folks who have gone to one, and they all seem quite happy with the way they work - but also state that there is a bit of a learning curve on care and feeding.
  4. Excellent, that's good to know!
  5. I think a lot of people are placing too much faith in the ability of government to implement a new policy in a timely manner. I remember when North Carolina switched (moved away from windshield stickers and tied it to registration) there was almost 2 years that you could renew without ANY inspection because they had abandoned the old system but not yet implemented the new. So DMV had no way of knowing whether the inspection had taken place.
  6. I expect that TX will eventually let you get the inspection done in another state.
  7. Exactly - I really think that RVers are in the minority of those impacted. FWIW, I have two vehicles tagged in TX that have never been inspected in the state since I've owned them (one never, the other by the PO because he lived in TX)
  8. I see a lot of pickup trucks and sedans all over the US with Texas plates. I guess it is because TX is such an inexpensive state to keep a vehicle registered in people just don't change when they move. Any changes are going to impact many, many more people than just RV and military folks.
