True that.

Merry Christmas

Happy Thanksgiving Shipmate!!!

wow just wow.

For us  a king with the less room for us. We have a couple of labs that sleep with us when we have other people in the 5th wheel. We are not in the bedroom that often in a 24 hour period. We have plenty of room at the end of the bed or in the bathroom to get dressed.

Though It doesn't bother me as near as it bothers you I want it to end as well. Spring forward and leave it there. Now they are once again talking about it again next year to abolish it. That would be nice.

Exactly! I initially painted them for 5'2" DW but soon discovered it was an excellent idea for us both.

That is some funny stuff right there.

My bad I thought you said you painted them ON your wife. Thought you were being funny. lol

Loosen up those spincters people. Your walking your dogs around in the campground people are going to want to pet them.

There is a lot more issues out there than someone wanting to pet fido. My 2 labs get offended if you don't want to pet them. Wear a sign around you neck that says don't ask to pet my dog!!!

People walking through my site under my awning out the other side irritates me way more. But I guess that has long been debated.

I just received a similar one from amazon stating that my prime account was not paid. 

What really sucks is I'm sure a lot of people fall for these scams and give up personal information to these crooks.

Yes a few people in rural states may get it, most of those are probably from plague carriers from the infected states.

However being out in your RV is probably the best isolation you will find unless you socialize with fellow campers. The SE states seem for the most part to be open for business for state parks and commercial parks. Florida is an irritating outlier. BLM and NF sites are mainly open except when local authorities close them.

I just don't believe this will still be around in 4 to 6 weeks. I'm convinced that the seasonal effect will kick in. Humidity, Warm Temperatures, and sunlight and fresh air are all shown to knock down the transmission rates. Washington State is saying that they think they they've turned the corner.

I totally agree. We were in a campground in Central Arizona about 10 days ago. The seasonal full timers still had their gatherings. On ST Patrick's Day they had there potluck and Corn Hole Tournament. Their attitude was "we are rebels and don't follow the rules". Most of these 35-40 people were 65 and up. Needless to say me and the wife did not participate. I hope all is well with them folks. It was a great RV Park and I look forward to visiting it again.

Well, I guess this is us!  We were full time in a Heartland Road Warrior (2018) for a few months, but had to sell and move into a house for a few years due to my (wife's) health issues.  Surgery , 100# weight loss and lots of physical therapy and we are ready to dive in again.  But this time, we plan to move up to a Class A, go full time in 2020 and retire in 2021 to travel.  

I am 62 and DH is 67 so we are really looking forward to moving on to this exciting, new chapter in our lives!  We have family and extended family scattered along the eastern seaboard, but want to travel all across the US when we retire.  We are actively searching for the right motorhome and scouring the message boards for reviews and recommendations.  Right now, we seem to have narrowed our choices to Newmar, Winnebago, Triton, Thor and possibly Coachmen.  

We have 2 dogs and 3 cats at present and they will be coming along with us.  They did great in the 5th wheel a few years ago, so we don't expect any huge surprises when we pull the trigger and do this again. 

So that's us in a nutshell.......

 

Sounds like a great plan. I pray you health improves.

Who wrote this? The DW or the DH? The writing contradicts each other. Just curious.

Virtually all negative comments on here about Good Sam are because a lot of people dont like Marcus Lemonis.

Nah I don't like them because they suck. They have built a culture of I don't give a crap about you because there's another person coming in the door behind you.

It's a fact more people post negative comments about a business then positive ones. CW has A LOT of negative ones.

Which may mean meeting face to face. Although I read about one who placed the item in the back of a pickup truck then got back in the cab. The buyer then picked it up and left the money there. Social distancing business style.

You have to think outside the box. There is also porch pickup, driveway pickup, curb pick up..... I have not seen a slow down of ads on nextdoor or facebook.  People are making it happen. It's the gougers that irritate me.

Oil has been below $30 a barrel for sometime now and diesel is still $3.49 a gallon where I live in California. Gouging pieces of shi t.

USAA has catchy commercials but they are aren't the best for everything.

We use 2 credit unions. Alliant Credit union is one. We did our first RV loan with them. Great rates. 50K limit on mobile deposits.                   

Our main bank is Kitsap Credit Union in Washington State. We live in California but have been with them for many years. I can't tell you how long it's been since I've been in a bank.  We do everything online, ATM, mobile, store checkouts, and Direct Deposit. As someone said you can use any bank. Make sure you get one that has no fees and reimburses ATM fees.

Our current RV loan is through First Internet Bank.

It was just too low for my surgically repaired back and neck. I could do preset profiles for entering and exiting. But in a year or two may be a hassle. And I'm keeping this one. So for a little more I ordered the Model Y which is just enough higher I think so I'm not twisting and contorting to get in and out of the 3. The Model  3 would have been delivered in just two to three weeks! No idea how long for the Model Y delivery, they begin shipping next month, just a few weeks. But my $100.00 deposit was non refundable or transferable. "Gettin what you really wanted tax."

good call on figuring out what will not work for your back.

I suspect Tesla has made a bundle with cancelled $100 deposits.

My current loan is through First Internet bank out of Indiana and I live in California. Our previous loan was through Alliant Credit Union.

I sold my first unit private sale. The buyers lender issued a check to my Lien holder (after the process) and that was that. It was a pretty easy process.

Sounds like a lot coming from the Sac/ Gold Country area. Hope to meet you all there or along the way,

We are from Antioch. Still trying to make it work with our schedule.

If anyone is dealing with a chronic illness it is advisable to always keep all of your vaccinations current, including the yearly flu shot.  I'm dealing with one along with 37,000,000 others and the stats on that is that many folks don't know they have it.  There are not early symptoms and a lot of folks get to the later stages without serious signs.  Getting the vaccinations, especially the yearly flu shot is advisable.  The flu shot is also available in doses for those over 60. 

We will be visiting the Grand Canyon in a few months and wherever we go we are always careful, and it has nothing to do with ethnicity, race, or anything but good health practices.  Always carry a bottle of antibacterial hand cleaner.  It's not 100% but it cuts down on the possibilities.

We will be visiting the South Rim in the middle of March. Can't wait.

Aarrg..... I can't stand all these abbreviations used today.  It's not that difficult to write it out.

Also where did I miss the dollar sign moving to after the numbers?

I write $1800. But I see 1800$ from a lot of people. Did I miss something with the movement of the dollar sign?

I use Kitsap Credit Union in Washington State. I moved to California 11 years ago and still use them for my main banking needs. I have been in a bank/credit union 2 times in 11 years to get something notarized. All of my transactions are direct deposit, mobile deposit, ATM deposits, and most of my payments I use their bill-pay.  ATM fees are also refunded at the end of the month. 3% interest on the first 15K in mine and my wife's checking accounts brings in $75 month for the last year. Why not that is a safe investment?

I also signed up for Alliant CU 7 years ago when I financed my first 5th wheel. Best rate I could get. Kept the account and use a CC from them. I have Alliant and my main Credit union linked. Perfect! for me.

I can use USAA but I will only be as loyal as they are. Just because I've been with the same bank for 40 years doesn't mean I would keep them. USAA has always quoted me higher insurance rates than Geico and Progressive. USAA used to be good for $750 off of a new GM vehicle but I think that is gone now.

Use whoever treats you right and does not charge any fees. I don't want to have to work the system to avoid fees. I want it to be seamless and transparent. Another reason why credit unions are a good choice.

We towed a 24' 4700lb ALJO trailer with our 2004 tahoe. We had a good weight distribution hitch and a sway break. It was a great set up. We used that trailer for 5 years before selling it. Not a single issue with either.
