  1. Lower cost is AZ and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Those prices are almost south Florida fees during the winter.
  2. I have a small ranch in southeast Texas as a home base. I spend 5 months May thru September in the UP of MI. I try to spend one month in SW Florida each winter. I am a part-timer.
  3. I agree, the 8 ft bed is the way to go. Once you unhitch it is a bit long but I do it. If you think that you will be upgrading to a larger fiver in the future you may consider an F350 as there is a big difference in payload between an F350 and an F250. Good Luck
  4. You can also get the dish that is mounted on the roof and it finds the satellites automatically. Nothing for you to do but turn it on and wait for the picture. You need a clear shot at the sky. Good Luck
  5. Those will be little trailers. Have you considered a fifth wheel? If you plan to spend a lot of time in one place like winter in Florida a fiver makes sense. Good Luck
  6. It would not be my desire to pay $200 for cancellation fees. I started in August 2018 so it will end in August 2019 and I currently pay less then $70 per month.
  7. When people sign up for a plan they are generally required to live up to that agreement. When I signed up with ATT internet it is to run for 12 months under the terms at that time. The agreement I entered into gave me the option of when and if I go over the 50G limit they can slow it down, if they want or need to, or if I agree they will charge for 10Gs additional.
  8. If I didn't have a place to park my 5th wheel I would think hard about even having one. I have a small ranch in SE Texas where I had a gravel driveway installed and I ran the 50 AMP service for the fiver. Total cost was low but if I had to pay a monthly fee just to park it I would consider it wasted money.
  9. I depends on what type of plan you have. My internet doesn't slow they just charge me more money if I exceed the 50G.
  10. I have used the hotspot with both ATT and Verizon for a number of years. I used whichever one had the better reception. But as we all know the unlimited is not really unlimited! Now I use a device from ATT at $70 per month for 50G and they don't slow you down after the 50G. They just charge you more per additional 10G. Only once did I go over with a granddaughter staying with us and she used lots. We take the ATT device with us when we go RVing. We are pleased with the speed and we also use it at home with excellent results and we were able to get rid of our Hughes Net which was $65 per month and we had it for many years. The ATT device is a lot faster then Hughes NET. Good Luck
  11. I would think that if you provide an address in AZ then you will be expected to pay state income tax there. I have heard that some states will want to tax you for the time that you spend in their state if it is for an extended period of time?
  12. Please keep in mind that Tim Horton's is now owned by the owners of Burger King, a US company.
  13. I have a front living 42 feet fiver with two couches and two so called theater recliners the couches fold out to queen size beds and we like them but the recliners are to short for me. I am only 6 feet tall and about 200 lbs. I have to fold my legs to fit. We would think that a fiver that lists for $116,000 would have done a better job with the recliners? Good Luck
  14. Accumack: Those are the ones that I was ready to buy until a number of the reviews mentioned valve stem issues. I need then for four tires on my fifth wheel trailer. My F350 has a TPMS. I run 110 psi in the trailer tires. Thank You
  15. I am also following this topic, thank you. I was almost ready to buy a TPMS until I looked at reviews on the system I was interested in and read about the sensors weakening the valve stems and even some breaking the valve stems! I still want one and hope to learn from those who post here.
  16. That is exactly what I tell my better half. Even if we did go back, it would be to a smaller place or assisted living or even a pine box.
  17. I couldn't agree more Barbaraok! If you plan on going back and live there some day, it can be ok to be a "slum lord".
  18. This past summer I went from Hughes Net, after 17 years with them, to ATT Internet. I got a wifi box for $80 and 50 G for $80 per month. ATT says that it is unlimited but after the 50 G they slow in down unless you pay more. It is fast and we like it much better then Hughes NET.
  19. It would seem that Schwab doesn't want your account and I wouldn't want to leave my money with them. Other firms will be glad to take care of you. In addition to the ones listed above T. Rowe Price would be a good choice. Good Luck
  20. Our residential refrigerator, a big LG, came with what look like upscale rubber bands to hold the doors closed.
  21. I can't do it with over $7,300 per month! to many needy grandchildren!
  22. I read that link and it looks like yes the Escapees plan is about the same as the others. If you want to support Escapees you could switch.
  23. I have both CoachNet and Good Sam roadside assistance. I have used Good Sam once in IN for a flat tire while I was at an RV park. I called them because their phone number came first in my cell phone. This was on a Sunday morning last June and Good Sam told me that because it was Sunday all of their preferred road assistance companies were not open. I was stunned thinking that they would tell me to wait until Monday. I asked if the road side assistance was not a 24/7 service? They said yes it was and they did send someone in a mini van and he was a pleasant young man who was from England. He was an educated person who had immigration issues so he was working for himself. He did the job although his compressor would only put 60 lbs in the tire with the mini van running and revved. My question regarding the Escapees roadside assistance is how will they be better? CoachNet and Good Sam have been in business for some time and I would think that they know what they are doing? Also there are only so many roadside/tow companies around and I have been told that Good Sam and CoachNet use mostly the same companies? Which companies will Escapees use. I hope they are not trying to reinvent the wheel?
  24. I also have both Good Sam and CoachNet road side assistance. I have had both for 7 years. It is my understanding that both us e the same tow companies? The only on that I have used is Good Sam and the service was good.
