FL residence and driver's license without owning a vehicle?
sandsys replied to Jessfar's topic in Beginning RVing
Maybe you could rent a car to take the driver's test? People who don't drive at all usually get a state ID card instead of a driver's license. Linda Sand -
Hanging up the fulltime keys :(
sandsys replied to Dutch_12078's topic in Sharing the Fulltime Lifestyle
Many of us did some part-timing after full-timing and it does help make the transition to not going at all a little easier. Not going at all is still not easy but easier. You are lucky to have kids nearby willing to help. Keep on keeping on as long as you can. Linda -
Hanging up the fulltime keys :(
sandsys replied to Dutch_12078's topic in Sharing the Fulltime Lifestyle
I never consciously hung up my keys. I just let Dave drive me wherever I wanted to go until one day I realized I hadn't driven for about five years. I no longer trust myself to do so now. My sense of space when backing up is shot. Linda -
Winding down our fulltime RV Adventure
sandsys replied to GR "Scott" Cundiff's topic in General RV Information
I still miss my conversion van and I don't even drive anymore. Fortunately, we live in a senior's complex with transportation available for free most places we go for the few times Dave can't drive us. Linda -

I do indeed wish you well. Hope is a wonderful thing. Linda -
Huh! When one of my eyes burned with the post surgical drops they said my eye was dry so I should use some artificial tear drops in that eye. Linda

Given the flimsy nature of many RV doors, why would anyone spend excess money on a lock for said door. True thieves will just break in anyway. Picking the place you park your RV is more important in my opinion. Linda

Domicile issues with financial institutions
sandsys replied to George / Tresa Adamson's topic in Other Topics
New accounts are treated differently from old accounts where you are just changing your address. Linda -
Your own attitude makes a difference as well. When we went to register one of our RVs it had two titles: one for the chassis and one for the conversion. And South Dakota had just started using a new computer system. I stayed patient and pleasant while the clerk figured it all out with the result that, when it came to time get my plate, she dug around to find one that would be easy for me to remember when checking into parks. An attitude of gratitude can go a long way to making for a good life. Linda

So don't get in a line where someone seems to be holding up everything. Always follow the rules as to what you can bring across. Always be polite and respectful. Don't be one they want "to get". Considering making the crossing one way then drive down the road to return via the next crossing so you don't look familiar to them. Linda

We've been on the other side. We traded RVs at a dealer. In spite of us inviting people in to see it several times, they never went inside. Even their trade-in guy, who took the keys to check the odometer, never looked behind the driver's seat. Quite some time after the deal was closed and we left with our new RV, they contacted us about the fact we had changed the interior from the standard they expected and that change was going to cost them money to bring it back to standard. They could not require us to do anything about it then. We had encouraged them to check it out but they were so certain they knew what they were buying. In all cases, it is up to the buyer to understand what they are buying. Linda Sand

Considering Buying/Building RV Park
sandsys replied to MobileCyber's topic in General RV Information
Check out local occupancy laws. You want to know how to prevent squatters. -
Looking for an RV Lot with a casita in Nevada
sandsys replied to JAMP's topic in RV Sites/Lots/Memberships for Sale
Have you checked out the SKP park in Pahrumph, NV? https://skppairadice.com Linda Sand -
I'm guessing you are asking about buying an entire campground, not just a site in a campground. Location is important. Near a river is not on a river and that matters to some people. Close enough to a metro area to make weekend getaways reasonable is another. When we went for weekends we mostly just wanted lack of noise. Linda Sand

I had my unit serviced once. I took it to a shop that repairs refrigerated trucks. That's where we learned the unit was installed then the cabinet built around it. They had to dig it out to do the work then left it in a more accessible location. So, yes, location is important for more than one reason. Linda

It wasn't a case of sizing; the ten hour limit was a feature of the heater. I suspect, since these are designed to heat truck cabs they wanted to make sure you didn't use too much fuel while sleeping. Although it would turn off if the fuel tank hit a certain limit no matter how long the heater had run. Linda

I had one in my last van. It would only run ten hours at a time. If I wanted it to run longer, I had to turn it off then back on. But it did a good job for my space while just sipping fuel. Linda

Yes, but I have no idea what I am looking at other than a crack. Linda

New FT puchase pending. Timing and Resarch Tips?

Glad to help. That's what this community is all about. Linda -
Covid vaccine boosters are available now!
sandsys replied to Kirk W's topic in Health Issues and Medical Insurance
The flu shots say they are at CVS, Hy-Vee and Costco but Dave got his yesterday at his doctor's office so the link above is not infallible. Linda -

sandsys replied to Kirk W's topic in Health Issues and Medical Insurance
I just checked locally and it's apparently at all the Walgreens and CVS pharmacies but not at doctor's facilities. Linda -
My confusion came from a friend trying to figure out how to use a detergent bottle in the middle of the night. When I suggested he buy a hospital type urinal, the thought that was brilliant. Linda

Looking for MaxxAir Remote Holder
sandsys replied to Kevin H's topic in RVs (And Accessories) Wanted
You could check out an electronics store. They have holders for all kinds of remotes. -
Urinals are cheap to buy so I don't understand why people use detergent bottles. I can see transferring from a urinal to a detergent bottle to extend volume capability but why start with the bottle?

Is there a reason you think you might want to put the pressure regulator on only leg of your system? It seems to be it would be safest to regulate both legs. Linda
