  1. A few problems with bare land when you're not present are squatters, liability and illegal dumping.
  2. https://mountaindirectory.com/
  3. In other words, doubling to tripling the rates and fees. Charging resort prices for non-resort camping and amenities.
  4. The article referred to Arizona mobile home parks, not rv parks.
  5. At Deming propane fill is a half-mile north of I-10 on NM-180; look for the big white vertical tank.
  6. Blinking leds are often caused by low voltage, so check that first.
  7. You can record streaming content using Playon; Playon home records in real time just like any other DVR, while Playon Cloud records on a server, and you can then download (or view) from the server. Playon Cloud avoids glitchy connections common in RV usage. I've been using them several years. I like to make a good recording on the cloud, then I can download that recording even with a bad local connection. Playon gives adskip capability; you could of course cast to the tv using media player or Plex. https://www.playon.tv/
  8. PMB is a problem. I don't know how it works in SD, but in FL I have an Escapees "physical address" AND a PMB Texas Escapees mail-forwarding address. The Escapees address at Sumter Oaks is a real physical address I could live at and is on my driver license, insurance etc. PMB is an entirely different matter.
  9. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0954132RX/?coliid=I2N8FOE3XR5QW4&colid=XYN4Z4HQXODB&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it
  10. Generally, you can title a vehicle remotely and there's a form to be filled out verifying the VIN by a local law-enforcement officer. Call the DMV office.
  11. You could have a bad battery, corroded battery terminals, loose or corroded connections at a 12v bus bar or panel; any of those prevent a battery from charging due to low voltage. Also, if you're referring to a motorhome, often chassis batteries aren't charged by the converter anyway.
  12. About 20 degrees below ambient is about all that should be expected because RVs generally have very little insulation and large windows.
  13. A "surge supressor" is fairly useless since you're very unlikely to be hit with a surge. An EMS such as the Progressive Industries device is well worth every cent because it protects from so much more electrical mayhem that you're far more likely to encounter.
  14. My 30-year-old 6500 has two breakers, a 30a for the "house" and a 20a dedicated to the rear a/c. It's a 30a coach. The 20a is wired (via the junction box of course) directly to the rear a/c, not through a transfer switch. The house is 30a.
  15. Be sure to roll down hard with a metal or hard plastic roller. That's what activates the real sticky stuff.
  16. Webseal is the Eternabond I was talking about. It has no plastic cover layer, just microsealant coated on a fabric substrate. It's very flexible, and should be painted (Hengs etc) to protect it from sun.
  17. I've done it using Eternabond fabric tape, not the slick plastic coated variety. It easily bends around corners etc. Prep is very seriously a huge part of it. I cleaned the area, then thoroughly degreased it using acetone. Next it was painted with Eternabond Primer. Once dry, the tape was applied and very forcefully rolled to create the microsealant. Just sticking Eternabond down will not work; you'd just as well use duct tape. Finally, the tape was painted over with Heng's elastomeric paint to protect it from sun since it doesn't have the plastic layer. After 10 years it's still stuck and not leaking.
  18. I've had Coach Net 14 years now and have used it a couple of times. It's been fine. One tow more than broke even the cost of Coach Net for all those years.
  19. Wrap-around heating pads are available for propane tanks from 20# to much bigger.

  21. I bought a vehicle in Georgia and titled/registered it in Florida. The procedure was to get a temp tag, then have the Florida DMV mail me the necessary form. I had a local LEO verify the VIN and odometer, then mail the form to Florida (with tax payment of course) and a couple of weeks later I had the Florida title, registration and tag in hand in Georgia. No problems and I didin't have to take it to Florida. Call up the Missouri DMV, perhaps in your residence county, and ask them how to do it.
  22. Progressive Industries hardwired units are also surge supressors. Whoever told you that doesn't actually know anything about them.
  23. A gotcha is that your domicile address is in Florida while your mailing address is in Texas. You can't routinely receive mail at the Florida address.
