Thought you were quoting for a HDT or Motorhome, apples to apples, not a car.

Our Monaco is definitely a motor home . A gaser , but none the less .

In case you didn't notice , I did say :

Sounds rip off high to me , but I don't have an HDT . 

Dealers want about a hundred fifty dollars for an oil change on our Monaco .

I do it myself for about 30 bucks and O'Reilly's accepts old oil for recycling . 

Oil is oil . The amount may vary , but ...

How do you even buy oil for $30?  It costs more than that for the 5 quarts my Jeep takes, much less the gallons the HDT takes. 

30 was last year . I just did an oil change and spent 35 buck just for the 7 quarts of oil .  

I run synthetic blend these days . 

And , we drove an XJ ( Cherokee ) for 6+ years . I recall it took about 6.5 quarts . But , I was using a bigger filter .

No. Let me put it this way.

If you ride your push bike down the Interstate there's a high risk of being squashed by an 18 wheeler. Yes? Well if you build by a river isn't there a high risk of mother nature claiming the ground you built on at some stage?

Not a climate change post. It's a "be responsible for your decisions" comment.

 

Definitely ^ .

I do wonder though what it is about the human nature that we seem to gloat over others misfortunes?

Pretty sure it has to do with greed and  'misery loving company' .

Why would you need that ?

We have been rving for 13 years now.  We have aways cleaned our black tank with a good water flush and no chemicals.   We are on our 6th fifth wheel, always purchasing them new.  Invariably the black tank level indicators quit giving an accurate read in time but you learn to estimate. 

Our boating friends swear by NoFlex digester.  Anyone have any RVers experience with it?

 

Thanks in advance!

OK, after reading that news report, which is not an accurate rendition of the city ordnance or law; proof of that is where it says he drives 70 hrs a day.; they say "commercial' trucks and RV's over those weights may not be parked in front of a house. Evidently parking beside or behind the house is approved.

Much ado about nothing for RVers IMO.

My sentiments ^, exactly .   

I didn't have to do any of the OPs changes . 

We just head South when the temps start touching the 30s .

Maybe we could if you posted a link .

Does mothballs hurt non-target animals such as his neighbor's dog or cats don't know much about them

I doubt moth balls would hurt any animal as they don't like the gaseous odor ( fumes ), so they would very likely simply stay away .

Never had any rodent problems when I spread plenty of mothballs around and under the rig .

I can't abide using the bubble insulation from home supply stores. Too much like living in a cave so we bought a quality windshield cover that goes on the outside and reflects the heat while one can see out. 

We don't mind the bubble shield for the windshield , as we rarely look out the windshield while we are on site .

Windshield ... Good point . We have a roll of silver bubble insulation we put in the windshield and partially in the side windows when we sit for a while . Definitely makes a big difference .

Call me a curmudgeon, but I put a premium on parks with no playgrounds, pools, or golf carts.

I'd call that smart .

This a side note :

Throw your carb cleaner in the trash .

Carb cleaner is known to eat rubber and rubber type bits .

Use brake cleaner . It cleans much better , quicker , leaves no residue and won't eat rubber bits . And , it's usually less expensive .

Sounds a lot like you have your answer . Cost ... just shop for the best and forget the rest . Quality reigns .

Simply walking from shade to full sun should give you a pretty good idea of the benefits of awnings .

I know we wouldn't be without .

Meth heads ??? They likely couldn't muster the wherewithal to even think about looking for you .

I'd be worried about bears and such and those little raccoons can get into anything . 

Hmm , bars on all your doors and windows ... Just like jail . LOL

Looks like a nice shiny bobble for those that have way too much money .

I'm not impressed .
