I used Alliant Credit union for one loan and First Internet Bank of Indiana for my current loan. All done online.

Based on your post, I had a nice, long chat with Apria Healthcare this morning. I told them that we were mobile and that my wife has TRICARE Select now, but will transition to MEDICARE and TRICARE For Life next May. We discussed shipping to different locations with billing/domicile in one place. Their response was... no problem! We would just have to order supplies by phone (rather than on-line) so the temporary shipping address could be put on each individual shipment. I'm considering moving over to Apria in January when we move our primary care over to a new internist in New Mexico. Thanks!

That's awesome Bob. We are Tri care prime.  I believe when we go to Montana for a workkamping gig in May we might have to transition to tri care select.

Anyway glad to know they will ship to a temporary address.

James

I use Apria and have never had an issue. I do not know how they are with shipping to different addresses.

I've used Zelle, but only to receive money.  Haven't ever tried sending money.

I wish all of my transactions were incoming only!!!! LOL

I use Venmo and Zelle daily.

Venmo you can send money through them, from your bank account or a credit card. In case you didn't know paypal owns venmo.

Zelle is bank account to bank account.

Both have worked out great for me. Like anything else in the money transfer game there is risk.

Dam did you guys figure out who's swings bigger than the other?

I get about 10 hours of power when traveling to keep my residential fridge going. We've only tested that a couple of times as we try to only travel about 5 or six hours a day.

I was just reading the Charmin labels and they say that they are safe for septic systems.  Is this good enough?

That is what we use and have never had an issue. Use plenty of water and flush well.

Charlie? Charlie?

Funny how someone starts a thread with a single never come back comment and everyone goes after each other. He probably forgot where he has posted. Lots of good stuff on this thread. I hope he comes back.

6 year rule?? Ridiculous. The letters FO come to mind. 6 years is not even a break in period. In 4 years I wouldn't be able to stay there. That's just crazy. They still make my 2019 in 2022 so I guess I could get away with it for awhile. I would hate to have to lie to spend my money in that park. Or have them look at the sticker on it and see it is a 2019.

You can get really nice ones for a lot less. About $750.00 each. These are the ones I'm getting.

I know this post is a few months old now. I just ordered on of these for the wife. They are $999 now. Still a good value. I ordered a Friend Ebike for myself. They don't have a step through so that is why I ordered the Lectric for her.

In Northern California I use Lowes for Barn Door business. Home Depot for paints, stains, and supplies. I also have an Ace that sells lumber and an Ace that does not. I use local lumber yards for my bulk wood. But the lumber I use is super expensive still and had to pass some of those costs to my customers. Never been to a Menards.

I get about the same customer service out of all 3. The lumber Ace I use is nice cause there is usually the same 4 or 5 people who work there so always familiar faces. The Pro desk cashier at Lowes puts my phone number in without asking me as I really do go there 4-5 times a week.

There was no way on earth Jinx is going to get behind the wheel of a HDT that didn't involve kicking and screaming. Convincing her of the need for a dually was tough enough. My solution to increase  the safety margin was to upgrade the RV brakes to electric over hydraulic disc brakes and to also upgrade the wheels, tires and suspension.  Oh yeah, and weigh the rig every year.  It isn't a HDT, but it stops in about 2/3 of the original stopping distance.

LOL this was my scenario with the wife. We went through 2 single rear wheel trucks before I convinced her that we need a dually. Now we are on our second one and hopefully the last one. For awhile anyways.

Antioch James,  we are stopping in New Orleans on the way back! We have actually planned both I40 and I10 with our 1st layover in Birmingham AL weather permitting!

We are visiting friends in Kings Bay Georgia. The Fam Camp was wiped out in a tornado so I hope the area is doable when the time comes to go there.

That's why I threw up a number an question mark Kirk cause I knew you would research it.

Hello,

    We have reservations at Kissimmee KOA and then down to Homestead.  Do you think we could  take a chance on I-40 in Mid November or plan on I-10??? We will be coming home on I-10 for sure because of planned stops.

Thanks 

TurlockBill

Hey Turlock Bill, I'm Antioch James. Thanks for asking the question as we are doing a similar trip in March/April 2022 but stopping in New Orleans and then Georgia. About 3 hours from Disneyworld. I know it's a few months after you but am looking forward to hear about your trip when you done.

And the 55,xxx escapees number????

Dam you started this thread so long ago you might have to start your research over lol

I don't know if it's a lab thing. I have a black and a charcoal lab with no issues. My neighbor has a french bulldog on prescription food and she only weighs 20lbs. Her food is expensive. I couldn't imagine what that food would cost for an 80lb lab. Now that the border is open to go to Canada who knows if the "sky is falling" rules have changed.

as suggested about trying it out in an RV campground is that I don;t imagine people like the sound of the generator running, but great idea, conceptually.

Totally agree. I notice a lot of generators are forward on the port side of Motorhomes. We were at nice campground awhile back and the guy next to me kept running his generator. Not only was the sound annoying so was the exhaust which was pointed at our rig. I finally had to have the park take care of it. Turns out his pedestal was acting up and his generator was automatically firing up.

Even though hoping is not a strategy I hope this is the case that these vaccines could last 5 years.

Out of the 25 people in my family that are age eligible only 7 of us are vaccinated. The ones that are avid Trump supporters are the ones not vaccinated.  Not trying to open a can of worms but it's a fact in my family.

Thank you for your responses!!! We had a feeling the 2500 wasn’t going to be enough. I’m going to look at the 3500 single wheel Chevys instead. If I do this, I want to make sure I do it safely. 

If you are looking at new ones plan on about 5K or more above MSRP. Even the used ones are going for top dollar. Ran into a guy at the grocery store the other day. He has a 2021 GMC 3500 Denali Dually Duramax just like mine. I bought mine before the chip shortage with the veteran discount and it was 8K under MSRP. His was 6K OVER MSRP. Just food for thought if you haven't priced any yet. FYI GM did away with the awesome veteran and first responder discount in May 2021. These trucks are hard to find.

On the other hand, we never used the convection feature of our microwave but used the microwave itself every day so paying extra to get the convection feature would have been a waste of money for us. Just like we don't all RV the same, we don't all cook the same.

Linda

I was just giving the OP another option that maybe was not thought about. Better to research before installing one as it would be a bigger waste of money to install a regular one and learn later that you want a different one.

Just because you didn't use the feature doesn't make it a bad thing or a waste of money.

If you don't have an oven you might want to consider a combination microwave/convection oven unit. I have a Panasonic inverter type in my motorhome and my house. I hardly use the microwave function in my motorhome but use the convection oven a lot. I've cooked up to a 13 pound turkey in mine.

This is what I was going to say. I replaced my 30" microwave with a 30" convection microwave. We use it 98 percent of the time.

Not good enough for me.  126 mile range really means less than a 100 miles. Range anxiety is bad.
