Well, that is a BIG difference. Cant help you although I was born in Cornwall. I have been in Cali for most of my life.

I am near Ontario, CA and I recommend not to register in CA. Too many issues. I have an MDT registered in my SD domicile. If I step up to HDT, will do SD also.

Those are shippable liquid containers. All sorts of different liquids are in them and they are shipped by truck all over the country. I think it will handle what you are trying to do.

But you would be driving them with a 12YO pump that was engineered to do the original job as intended, not the upgraded design you are after. I just took the same Lippert system off an '05 3 axle Teton. Installed the Big Foot.

So very well said!

Likely not the correct forum subject to post this under. Find something that is closer to what you want or start a new subject and you can get more info. My understanding is that the vehicle needs to be self-contained in order to qualify as a MH

No, you have it backwards. See the post from earlier:

Unfortunately logic is not a skill that is a part of most people job description. I understand how things SHOULD be done, and yes I communicated with the PM at my PO several times about how they made me put a mailbox in because they wouldnt continue forwarding my mail sent to the house address. But the other side of the comment above is we still get mail addressed to the person using our PO Box # before us, and we've been renting that box for almost 15 years. No logic in that. But on the other side, I see how many pieces are handled daily and I get that things happen, people arent perfect and mistakes are made. But as a small business owner, it COSTS me when me or my employees make a mistake. I dont know if those similar consequences apply elsewhere, whether USPS or not. Better work ethics need to be taught and implemented as well as rewarded so that we can turn some of the lax attitudes around. We all can do individually and then provide better examples of what should be done.

They were notified and so were the renters. But things happen. Mail forwarding may have always been for a year, but the document I filled out was called PERMANENT Mail Forward. Why doesnt the USPS change their form to reflect what they do? Seems so typical of what government does too often.

Its not only in Surprise. In '05 we moved to a 35K population town, unincorporated at the time but with a nice small PO. We got a PO Box as we did not want mail delivered to our residence(rural and without a mailbox). We were directed to fill out the proper form for permanent mail forwarding from our home address to our PO Box. We did this. A little over a year later, we get a call from a customer that got their payment check returned(I'm a self-employed contractor). Took the matter up with the PO and learned that "PERMAMENT" mail forwarding, as the form is called, is ONLY GOOD FOR 1 YEAR. They forced us to put a mailbox in, and low and behold, someone hit it with a car. Had to reinstall it. I dont know why the USPS writes guidelines that they dont follow. Permanent should be permanent until the author decides to change it, oh, wait, yes I did say author because I dont think they understand that I am their CUSTOMER. I feel more like a hostage.

I have made my reservations and will be attending. Coming from SE Riverside County, CA, near Jojoba Hills.

Mattresses are like pants, not 1 size fits all. Gotta find what works for you/me. Info and recommendations are great as it provides a place to look for the best deal for each of us. I just love this forum!

Better opportunity by putting this in the correct subject: RVs, Tows, and Toads for Sale

They will know the value AS THEY SEE IT.

Right on! We have a satisfying life and dont have any interest in changing a thing, which is why I am working on the financial planning, so sustain a modest lifestyle.

My approach is that I wont depend on SS for income and if/when I become eligible, then I will treat it like a raise. During my corporate working experience, when I got a raise, it usually went into the savings account. We tried to live well within our basic income. It has worked for us for the most part, although life happens and that savings has been a two way account, alot in but sometimes large outs.

Close 66-8 months

Unfortunately that would not be getting back at the man. Consumers would be on the hook for all that as it would be a trickle down economy thing.

This is a bit off the recent posts BUT relevant to the original subject. My DW will turn 63 later this month and I am 2.25 years younger than her, but I do the planning in this arrangement. My question has to do with her bring able to collect SS on my account before I do. I have seen some things about this but am not understanding what is available and how to decipher it. She was mostly a stay at home mom with not lots of income to show on her SS account. I have been the principal income provider but since younger, looking at options.

I have been around RVs for over 36 years. I have had almost all types. I also have taken RV repair classes and have engaged in RV repair and improvements. I am a Contractor with 30+ years of experience, and since before that I have worked on vehicles and machinery and still do. Dont figure that you will buy a NEW RV and have NO problems. Todays quality of new units is very much in question due to the high demand, so buy it as early as you can and become proficient in using it, towing, setting up, breaking down, maintenance etc. It is a different way to live and you will need to become versed in the lifestyle. There are many posts each day from people who are working through some issue and are looking for help. And many of there are from EXPERIENCED RVers. This is not flicking a switch, its a lifestyle change. You can do it, but be pragmatic and learn as soon as possible. It will be your house, and after your sell you S&B house, your only other option for lodging may be your truck, a friends couch or a motel. That is inconvenient and/or costly. Dont be afraid, but be prepared. Enjoy the journey!

Have you considered the Nissan Titan XD with the Cummins in it?? They don't chatter very loudly anymore unless they are modified. I have an LBZ Duramax with some mods and you can hear it, esp when I'm in it, but that is music to my ears.

I figure its like this- the return on ANY RV is frightening. We have a 38' Newmar 5er and just purchased a 33' Teton so that we CAN go to National Parks. Both were purchased at very reasonable prices and while they need some updating, they are quality coaches that we feel we can afford to tailor to our tastes and update as well. Its really about what you have the skills to do, want to do and choose to do. Enjoy the journey.

Or find something in between that can work for you. I just visited with a dear friend who is in the seemingly best health at 79. All his screening results come back each year just great, but last week, he experienced a mini stroke due to 79 year of plaque, common for all of us, and now he realizes that he needs to change his lifestyle a bit. He isnt going to sit on the couch and RELAX, just allow others to help him with things he has typically done himself. Certainly a lesson for me but I am only 60, although learning new things is a life long pursuit. Glad to be able to learn from those here too.

Yep, what he said!

I agree. I made the choice to be self-employed and in that lifestyle, work was/is VERY different. Our customers affect/effect our schedules, prices, results, etc. We do not usually get to control all of our life activities as we have those customers. By the same token, we get to generally make more that if we had chosen a 9-5 JOB, although sometimes that means leaving for work at 4AM, driving 3 hours, working a 10 hour day and driving back 3 hours, then doing something similar the rest of the week/month. No 401K, stock purchase, bonuses etc. We then have to find a way to educate ourselves in the ways of savings, overhead reduction, investments, retirement planning, tax efficiencies, finding a team that we can trust to surround us with technical expertise to help us in the above noted endeavours. Its been a lot of work so far but the challenges are from what choice I made for us and I am so grateful that I could make the choice that I thought best suited us. Other countries and places dont have the same freedoms.
