  1. How do you put sheets on that? I can see if you raise both sides equally but just one side?
  2. The most important part of covering an RV is making sure it is tight everywhere. You don't want the cover beating against the RV when the winds pick up. Linda
  3. I don't speak electricity but this sounds to me like it would use all your power leaving nothing for other needs. What am I misunderstanding? Linda
  4. It sounds like you made the right decision for you. I wish you happy travels in your new home. Linda Sand
  5. I could ride an electric bike but it can't go everywhere I want to go. Just like my Scoot can't go everywhere a bike can go. It's nice to have alternatives for various situations. Linda
  6. I've seen people riding them but have no personal knowledge. Linda
  7. The break even point at the LTVAs is 9 weeks. So, if you are staying for more than two months, the rest of the time is free. I always bought an annual permit so I could come and go at will all winter. I was usually somewhere in the area from November through March so even if I was just passing through I could stop overnight with no more expense. Sometimes I just stopped to dump and fill and drop off trash on my way to a different boondocking spot. Linds Sand
  8. Thank you for this and the correction of the first word to fission. I actually understood it! Linda
  9. How is this related to the nuclear power plants we already have here in Minnesota? Simple words, please. Linda
  10. Should that title say 2023? Linda
  11. When checking out sources like RV Park Reviews it is important to read the review not just look at the stars. Different people have different likes/dislikes/needs so you need to find the ones most similar to you. We, for instance, never needed a playground or dog park. Linda Sand
  12. How easy it was for us back in 2008 has little to do with how easy it will be for you now. The main problem now seems to be investment firms; it appears government regulations now require them to have a physical, residential address. So far, it looks like your best bet for that is to get an address at Rainbow's End but even that is not guaranteed to work everywhere. I'd take Kirk's advice and talk to the people who can give you real answers for today's challenges. Linda Sand
  13. I think dealers are the primary users of those guides and they don't care about add-ons. When we traded in our View they didn't even list the solar system in their ad to sell it. In California! You'd think a lot of people shopping for an RV in California would care that it had a fully installed solar system. Linda
  14. Those are all east-west roads and none of them go into the northeastern states. You must have some odd numbered highway, like I-95, to take you south first. I'd take that all the way down to Florida before turning west. Yes, it's longer but it gets you to warm faster. Which I would think would be your goal at this time of year; it would certainly be mine. But, you do you. Linda
  15. You're welcome. I hope the guy can stand well enough to be able to get onto the Scoot. It is a 3-wheeler so not as stable as a 4-wheeler. Which is why Medicare won't cover it; they require 4 wheels. Linda
  16. I don't understand 40, 30, 20, 10. At this time of year, it's best to go south all the way to I-10 as fast as you can. From Minneapolis, MN, I always got on I-35 and just went SOUTH! Most places north of I-10 are colder than most RVers like. Linda
  17. We live in a similar community with underground parking for one vehicle per independent living apartment. There are several EVs here with outlets having been installed in their parking spaces. We also have two small EV shuttle buses that charge through standard outlets. I do not know if those with private outlets had to pay for them. They are in the planning stages of a new wing that will house one floor of memory care and assisted living with three floors of independent apartments.They are planning to install chargers in that wing. The various components are all under one roof so you could park in a different wing than the one you live in to have access to chargers if they allow that. (Parking spots are assigned.) We will be watching to see how this turns out. Linda
  18. Quartzite was fine. I also spent a lot of time near Parker and the packed surface was fine but some of the loose stuff got too deep for comfort. They can learn about many people's experiences here: http://mytravelscoot.blogspot.com Linda
  19. I thought that was probably the case but with some people you never know and I'd hate to not catch one of them. Linda
  20. In case you are talking about towing a vehicle behind the trailer, it appears that most states require the first hitch to be a 5th wheel if they allow double towing at all. Linda
  21. Walmarts are popular grocery shopping places for RVers because you can park along the outer edges of the lot while shopping. Most Walmarts will let you stay overnight as well but you do need to find out which ones allow that. Some casinos have RV parking and hotel on site. I would check that out for your hotel overnight. We have stayed in Comfort Inn hotels while driving our RV but you have to take up a lot of parking spaces to do that. Linda
  22. My biggest concern about these units is the cargo carrying capacity. 1420-1935 is not a lot for four people. How much can you carry in your Tundra? You'll use close to 500 of your maximum CCC if you fill your fresh water tank. Check out your current pantry--how much does the food in it weigh? I mean a 16 ounce package of anything is a full pound right there. Add clothes, kitchenware, and toys and what are the odds you'll be overweight before you ever pull out of your driveway? When we were deciding if we could live in a low capacity rig we actually weighed everything we were considering taking before we bought the rig. We had to substitute cotton slacks for jeans and plastic dishes for Corelle, etc. What are you willing to leave at home to fit into one of these trailers? If you can live within those limitations, I would choose 24BH of those two just because I like the location of the TV--straight on viewing from the dinette so no crick in the neck. Linda Sand
  23. If you are looking to RV in a specific place to save money on the rent there, you might want to think again. This seldom works because of all the variations in things like insulation and electric/gas fees. Needing to heat or cool an RV can be surprisingly expensive. Linda
