That's gonna go away January 1, 2025. (annual safety inspections will go away, but emissions testing in some counties will continue)

Just seems like the right place for this.

Those pesky green chlorophyl-based zombies....

So you dated the same girls I dated? 😆

Except some buyers do exactly that, similar to ticket scalpers.

If you have fenders over the drive tires look up under those and see if there are signs of your tires scraping the underside of the fenders as the truck axles articulate on uneven surfaces. Same thing might be happening on your trailer.

Ok, its rusty but why would you sign on the dotted line and THEN ask us what we think? Living and traveling in the rust belt, it wont get any better, it will probably get worse. Good luck.

Hamstick dipoles (or any other dipole) do not need a 'ground plane'. But if you use one hamstick in a single vertical configuration you might simply be able to use the aluminum pole as the counterpoise. Or you might need a more substantial counterpoise, depending on the SWR results. Good luck with your TenTec Scout. The one that I had years ago was not a very good radio.

Lots of 13-6 bridges all over the federal interstate system. When it's marked 13' 6", it means a 13 foot 6 inch high load can pass thru it. But I believe the OP is curious about the accuracy of the markings on his trailer, not the accuracy of the signs on the bridges.

Is that Imperial feet and inches or is that Metric feet and inches? 🤔

It's interesting as an emergency 'jump start' but there is no 'free lunch'. The added drag caused by the loading and drag of the toad being recharged will drop the fuel mileage of the prime mover to the point where it would be equivalent to driving up hill all the time. I'd rather install a large solar array on that same large RV and feed the output to batteries and an inverter dedicated to charging the EV (even if slowly) while driving, with zero (or nearly zero) added drag on the power unit up front.

The FAA and the FCC screw up EVERYTHING they touch. It's shameful.

Let's see: Open up a topic and then shut down opposing views. Rainbows and butterflies. Or not. How much more of the earth's natural environment must we rape and pillage so that the EV Elites can remain boastful and blissful.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1E8SQde5rk

Good catch on the safety factor. Brand new class 8 sleeper trucks are required to be equipped with a sleeper net. (occupant restraint system!) Not a bad idea to pull it out of its plastic bag and using the hooks installed around the sleeper or bunk opening, put it in place and leave it there when the kiddos (or anyone) are riding in the bunk. This net might be stuffed under the mattress or in a sidebox. While you are looking for it, make sure your hazard kit (triangles, spare fuse kit, etc) and fire extinguisher plus bumper hooks (if equipped) and owner's manuals are all there. Your dealer SHOULD spend some quality time with you, and especially should go over the customer delivery checklist to make sure everything is there, and everything is working.

I wasn't trying to scare you...just to make sure that when little things crop up, rest assured it's expected...it takes a little while to get everything all sorted with any new piece of equipment. Just part of the experience.
