While that was once true, have you never heard of the Xscapers Group, which is for the still working Escapee member? That is currently the fastest growing part of the Escapees RV club. When Escapees was created in 1978, most of the membership was still working and 60% of them were under the age of 50. When we first attended an Escapade about 20 years ago there were a few children there and by 2010 when Travis Carr joined the business there were almost none. But today the Xscapers are the most rapidly growing segment of the club and Escapade now has Kids Scapade specifically for children and each year since it's inception is had gotten bigger. There continue to be many retired or retiring folks joining the club but the average age of the membership is declining. That is probably a very good thing for the future of the club, even if it does leave some of us out of the mainstream today.

That is a Blue Sea systems, single circuit switch and as the previous post states, it most likely there to isolate the coach battery. In your picture it appears to be mounted on the wall and if it is near the exit door then it ia pretty sure to be for the coach battery. If we are correct, the switch should be in the on position when you are using your coach and turned off when you put it into storage. In the off position you should not have any lights or 12V appliances.

That can happen even if the pet is not elderly. The mini Schnauzer that we took on the road with us developed pancreatitis after only 2 years on the road and at the age of 9. Saying goodbye to her was one of the most difficult things that we experienced while on the road.

Looks pretty close.

If you wonder why we might consider you to be young, the youngest of my 3 sons turned 55 last March! 🤪

While I'm not trying to speak for Rod, it sees to me that the point was to see what other's opinions on the issue are, and that was successful. To me one of the more interesting aspects of the poll is that it seems to have changed significantly since a similar one was run about 15 or 20 years ago. While that may be true in the recent past, over the long term, Investopedia has a very different opinion. In terms of averages, stocks have tended to have higher total returns over time. The S&P 500 stock index has had an average annualized return around 10% over very long periods (higher if you include dividends), while average annual real estate returns are often more in the 4-8% range.

Having gown up in Kansas, it is clear that you, like many others didn't see much of Kansas. This was taken not from from where my relatives live in the Kansas Flint Hills. You should also return to Oklahoma and travel through the areas east of OK city.

If the cost per mile is any consideration you need to keep in mind that with diesel running 30-60ȼ more per gallon than gasoline, the difference in fuel milage will not offset the additional cost of fuel. Having owned both diesel and gasoline vehicles, I assure you that most owners find that the diesel maintenance costs more as well.

Since this is a destination trailer//park model, where is it located? What is the monthly park rental cost? Typical utilities bills?

Loss of federal highway funds, true but not fines, or at least none were ever reported in the Dallas area. Can you share some sort of documentation about those fines? Highway money is a pretty good hammer and is used by Congress over states quite frequently.

I sent a PM so that we won't hijack this thread. ☺️ And I probably wouldn't like what either of you do. That is the reason that the US market for RVs has so many brands and models. When our boys were growing up in Wyoming, we had a pop-up that we considered to be luxurious! It had a 15 gallon water tank, a hand water pump, a propane capable refrigerator, and lots of storage. We towed it with a 4X4 Dodge Ramcharger and did most of our camping in forest service campgrounds that were far off of the paved roads. We usually stayed where there was an outhouse (Pam sometimes insisted) but occasionally went farther out where we just found a proper bush and dug a pit. It was really great when the campground had both a toilet and a well with a hand pump! We thought that we were into the backcountry until we visited bruce-t in Australia where they laugh at what we think are boondocks! But lifestyles change and today we do not do any dry camping, even in a parking lot.

So you are thinking of another move? We just moved a few hundred feet to a bigger apartment and moving seems to get to be more work with every passing year. We thought we were buying our last home when we left fulltime life but that has not turned out to be the case. And we are to a point of downsizing even with the vehicles. I believe that you are about 10 years younger than I so here's hoping that health treats both of you better than it has Pam.

Does anyone know if Airstream has ever produced the Airstream eStream Trailer? I haven't seen anything about it for a year or more now.

Is there some way of contacting you?

Are you seeking help to move your fifth wheel to a different site in the same park, to relocate it on the pad it is on now, or possibly move it to a different RV park? You would likely get more responses if you shared more information.
