    My feeling on the Lippert video is it a lot of marketing hype and covering why they cut corners.

    A frame should have some flexing, but to depend totally on a bolted-on side wall is just not a good design.  There are several points that need reinforcing and would be minimal cost to Lippert.  

    As a retired mechanical engineer, these frames are designed to a minimum standard which is not well suited for the use of these units.  To add to the problems, Lippert welding is mostly substandard and would not work in any shop I worked with.

    Also a retired engineer, i agree their welds are terrible. 

  2. There are 3 grey tanks. Your forgetting about the laundry tank. I have the same unit. 118 gallons of grey.

    We have a 60 gallon bladder in the truck for more fresh water.

    You can draw water from the bladder using the installed water pump.

  3. Hey Kirk,

    Doing good. Became TX residents in June. Picked up our drivers licenses, registrations, voting registrations and LTC's while there in July. Only thing that was a surprise was that all of your vehicles must be present on the initial registration and all, including the trailer must be inspected before they will register them. We were told that our car didn't need to be present. We have taken care of that since we decided last minute to bring it with us.

    We hung out in Sumerdale AL most of the summer. Will be headed back to Livingston the last 2 weeks of November before wintering in the RGV.

    Again, thanks for all your help.

    Mark and Kim.

  4. Hey guys, been around for awhile.

    Headed out of Cape Cod MA, to start our fulltime adventure starting in June. We plan on becoming TX residents in July.

    Just had a couple of questions. We are Escapees members 175454.

    Do we need to make reservations in Livingston TX for an RV site prior to heading down there?

    Is it usually very busy or hard to get there any time of the year?

    I have read about the process of getting swapped over when I do get there from reading it on the club website.

    Mainly looking on how to get the process started.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Mark Reynolds
