Don't post pictures of your dog (if you have one) in or around your RV. That could turn off some potential buyers. After you clean it up get a non pet owner to walk inside and make sure there are no "pet" smells lingering. I love dogs, kinda like some cats, but would look extra hard at an RV that I know had pets in it.

Regardless of anyone's position on whatever fuel source is the part on taxes needs to be taken out of the decision making process. Taxes will NEVER go away. Taxes will just be adjusted and redirected to whatever is needed to generate the same or more revenue. If/When hydrocarbon fuels go away and EV becomes the main vehicles they will be taxed just as much as HC fueled vehicles. Or more.

And an often overlooked source of reliable power is hydroelectric from the Mississippi River and possibly other rivers. Not talking about dams but utilizing water turbines. There is tremendous energy potential with the amount of water flow in the Miss. Every town along the river could probably be energy independent if the water flow would be utilized. Also tidal energy could be utilized along the coasts.

Issues? only from the tax collector. Dye is added to diesel that is used for offroad purposes. Tractors and other industrial engines. Pretty much anything that doesn't drive on the road. It is tax exempt so much cheaper. The dye leaves a red stain on components of the engine that can easily be seen by the tax man. Pretty big fines if caught using offroad diesel in a truck.

I switched to Wirefy heat shrink connectors and also using their ratchet crimpers. Very pleased with both. Crimpers are easy to use and designed to not damage heat shrink connectors. https://wirefyshop.com

Amazon prime subscription also gives you access to lots of music, although not as much as their extra $ service. I have this on my computers, tv through roku, and my phones. If you download your playlists you don't need cell or wifi on your phone to play music.

I had one of these on a large slide out in my Newell. Works well and easy to organize with the different drawers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ironton-5-Drawer-Truck-Tool-Box-Diamond-Plate-Aluminum-21in/333529989880?hash=item4da7efc2f8:g:IeAAAOSwkfVeWT1E

Just make sure you get all of the documentation that YOUR state needs to register it. Not all dealers, and especially private sellers, know what YOUR state needs. Had that problem with a dealer in Utah. Worked out but took a few calls and wasted time. Some states don't need a notarized bill of sale. Others require it.

Like jcussen said (hi Jim) buy a nozzle and filter, you should have these for spares, and look around the campground for another coach that might have an aquahot and ask who they use. If they service theirs themselves you could offer to pay them to do yours.

Is your aquahot working ok? If you are running your diesel burner once a month on a regular basis the annual service can go longer than annually. Servicing an aquahot is not difficult and consists of removing the Webasto burner, changing the nozzle, cleaning the photo disc, setting the electrodes, brushing out the combustion chamber, rotating the watts mixing valve, checking coolant level in tank, and changing the fuel filter. A bit of a dirty job but easily done and the only parts needed are a new nozzle and fuel filter and a 10mm long socket with a 10-12" extension. You should be able to find YouTube videos on this. Pay attention when attaching the Webasto burner since the 2 nuts are only put on snug! http://rvhydronicheaterrepair.com is a good source for parts and info. If you can change the oil in your car you can do this.

And most of these newbies who bought without a second thought will be shocked at the depreciation when they try to sell. I predict there will be plenty of upside down sellers. This will lead to many units that are seldom used and not maintained. There will be good buys out there but unfortunately many will not be.

I'm sitting here in the snow at 9600' in Colorado and my battery compartment has not gotten below 60ºF. It is adjacent to the aquahot and the heated basement. My 3 Battleborn LiFePO4's are very happy! This is in a 1999 Foretravel.

Along with the sounds of your modem connecting....

The only workers that ever bothered me were the ones who had to start up their diesel trucks and let them idle for a half hour or more in the early morning. Other than that most of these guys worked hard and were tired at night. Except for the weekends when they bbq'ed and visited with others. But not as bad or loud as weekend campers.

Living in Louisiana and driving our bad roads and traveling our country I can safely say that Louisiana does not have a monopoly on bad roads. We've found major roads and interstates in almost every state that are as bad or worse that any roads in Louisiana.

Removing the front end is probably not as drastic as you think it is. The parts typically removed are just plastic cosmetic pieces such as the grill and bumper covers, etc. And a few small bolts or christmas tree pins hold these parts in place. But the really important question is: is your Explorer able to be flat towed? If 4 wheel drive with a neutral setting on the 4x4 system, probably so. If AWD, probably not. It should be in your owners manual.

Basically in the dry heat when you sweat it evaporates so quickly that it can have a cooling effect unlike in high humidity areas where the sweat just accumulates on your body and doesn't evaporate. That can have a somewhat insulating effect and not cool you off. So if you're in the very low humidity and high heat in Arizona if you're in the shade with a breeze you can be comfortable at temps at or over 100ºF. Try that in south Louisiana at 90% humidity and 95º! Just remember to stay hydrated! BTW we visited friends in July west of Phoenix one year and never will do that again. Hit 114º a couple days. That my friends is HOT!

I had to trench once through very loose sandy dirt. So loose the self-propelled trencher kept bogging down. I hooked up my tractor and had to pull it slowly with that. Other times I've found that it can be difficult to keep a straight line. Have fun!

Buy a pack of colored ty-wraps and mark each end and terminal with same colors. I use these all the time when working on wiring.

A buddy who used to have a European mechanic shop and currently has a Boxster and a GT3 called last week to say his son just got a Tesla. Forgot to ask which model. He said he was blown away how fast it was! Pretty impressive considering how fast the GT3 is.

Thanks, we've drove past the dunes a few times but never stopped. Might stop this summer but that's kinda expensive for a couple nights. How were the temperatures during the day?

Agesilaus is this Mosca Campground?

Funny how I didn't tell anyone else that I was using for a few months. Now that I'm "out of the closet" I'm finding quite a few people are interested. Even my back doc seemed interested and didn't poopooh the idea. I'm using 50ml of 30mg full spectrum CBD from Hempworx daily under the tongue. That's what my DW won and seems to be working so I'll stick with that. We're planning to be in Colorado next month or 2 so I may see what's available. Gotta get outa the Louisiana heat & humidity! PM me your phone number and if we're near you we'll try to get together for lunch or something.

I started using a CBD balm for my back while in Alaska last summer. Found that it worked as good or better than other types of balms. While in Quartzsite in January my wife filled out a card for a free bottle of CBD oil. She won so I started taking the drops under the tongue. Since then I've not had to use any nsaids or pain pills. I still have some pain after over doing it but usually only lasts a couple days. Overall I don't have any daily pain or aches like before. I have a torn disc at L4-5 and get epidural shots and a nerve ablation once or twice a year. CBD is not a cure but definitely helps me get around with no or much less pain. And for now it's helping to avoid the eventual surgery. Like you I'm not interested in getting high so the product I use has no THC. Interestingly on another forum someone has been using a CBD cream for mosquito bites.
