Yup.

That could also be a problem. Two people in a 16' travel trailer is going to be very cramped and very little storage space. Also, cheap & reliable could be different trailers, depending on the budget.

Medicare is federal health insurance for anyone age 65 and older, and some people under 65 with certain disabilities or conditions. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that gives health coverage to some people with limited income and resources. To get Medicaid you must register in the state where you will live. For example, if a person from Texas wishes to apply for Medicaid while outside the state, the person should contact the other state's Medicaid agency. The other state's Medicaid agency determines whether: the person plans to live or visit in that state and that state's Medicaid is available to the person.

We spent the majority of our fulltime travels with regular stays as RV volunteers and in nearly all of those positions there were maintenance areas that I could the the RV to when doing thinks like oil changes & lubrication work. I have been in commercial RV parks that had a place you could wash the RV and at least some of the Escapee co-op parks have a maintenance area. There are probably others on the forums who could give you better advice on this than I.

You need to be aware that the majority of RV parks and campgrounds do not allow one to work on the RV while in the park. Minor things that take little time and aren't obvious are usually overlooked but things like changing oil or other fluids and mechanical work is not.

The subject is the stock & bond markets, as well as CD's and other investments. Anything special that we should be doing, jist om case?

The Economic And Market Impacts Of A Government Shutdown Forbes While some political rhetoric has stated that a shutdown risks sending the country into an economic downturn, history does not support that conclusion. In the only two quarters with a decline in GDP accompanying a shutdown, the U.S. economy had already entered into a recession in the previous quarter. JPMorgan estimates that each week of government shutdown reduces GDP growth by 0.1 percentage point. Because federal employees receive retroactive salaries after the shutdown ends, any GDP growth lost is typically recouped. Here's How a Government Shutdown Would Hurt The Economy Investopedia Much like past shutdowns like the 16-day closure in 2013, some federal offices would close, halting some services, while others, including Social Security and Medicare payments, and the military, would continue to function. “The direct effects of both the 2013 and 2018-19 shutdowns on economic growth were relatively small and short-lived,” Michael Pugliese and Sarah House, economists at Wells Fargo Securities, wrote in an analysis. How stocks may react to a potential government shutdown AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL Labor conditions, inflation, corporate profits and overall consumer/business demand are likely to play the most significant roles in shaping how stocks trade heading into year-end. However, there are two critical developments – if left to metastasize – that could have an outsized impact on the direction of asset prices: The current United Auto Workers (UAW) strike and a potential U.S. government shutdown.

Interesting. Medicare is covering it as I know several who have already had theirs but all of them are on Medicare. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine Medicare covers the updated COVID-19 vaccine. The updated vaccine targets the original COVID-19 viral strain and 2 Omicron variants (BA.4/BA.5). You can get the updated vaccine at least 2 months after completing your primary vaccination series (2 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Novavax, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson)—regardless of how many original COVID-19 vaccines you got so far.

I always used Dicor non-sag lap sealants. They are expensive but always worked well for us.

I suspect that there is always a built in lag based on reporting and probably a few never get listed, but it seems to be a good tool for those who wish to use it. I posted it to help those who are wanting the vaccine find a place that has it available.

A good quality pressure regulator will maintain the proper pressure both with faucets open and with them all closed, if the regulator has a large enough passage to supply the maximum volume (gallons per minute) that your RV can ever run with the diameter of water lines in it. The pressure that can cause you a problem is the static pressure because that is what your water lines are subjected to for hours at a time with no water running and it is also when the pressure will be at its maximum, so the safest way is to set pressure with no water running, but you do need to check it again after you run a small amount of water as some regulators will not release static pressure that is above the setting. I always set pressure when hooking up, then check it again after I finish setup and have washed my hands. The key to having good water pressure at all times is the maximum water flow through the pressure regulator that you use. If the regulator opening is only 1/8" and your RV water lines are 1/4" then pressure will drop at the faucets and shower no matter how high the pressure regulator is set. If your pressure regulator has a passage that is 1/2" and the RV has 1/4" then it will maintain the pressure into the RV at it's setting, even with all faucets and shower running at the same time. The pressure at the last place where water is running will still be low as your RV water lines are not large enough to supply as much water volume as you can use if all faucets are open at one time. The volume is always limited by the smallest opening the water must pass through and when volume demand exceeds that capacity of the supply it will always result in a pressure drop.

Grand Design is a popular brand at this time but Keystone toy-haulers are also popular. The Forest River, Rogue also seems to be pretty popular so you may want to check them out.

I checked on Amazon and they have several of them to choose from.

Even more confusing is the fact that Thor bought Four Winds in 1992, according to the history on the Thor website.

I drove the model S belonging to my son's friend and also a Smart for 2 owned by friend but that has nothing to do with cars made in China.

I really don't think that you do as I never did. I used a tank flush system for 14 years and never did put a regulator on that supply. It could depend on the system that you have as some of them have a lot more plumbing than mine had. The regulator looks to be a good choice and the wye will allow you to use a single hydrant. The other device appears to be a backflow preventer which I would always use on the side that you connect to the tank flush side of the wye. The power testing device is a good idea and easy to use. The other can protect from lightning strikes and such but the installed one you are looking at does far more. I always used a portable one by TRC\Surge Guard(now by Southwire) but both companies have a good reputation. Surge Guard was the original manufacturer, followed by Progressive but now there seem to be dozens of them.

For the water pressure regulator, I always kept mine at about 50 psi. Most fresh water pumps in RVs are set to shut off at 45 psi so that way the pump doesn't cycle if you should happen to have it turned on. Your system should be safe as long as you keep pressures below 65 psi, which is a typical rating and RIVA approved systems are tested to 100 psi. That is done to allow for some safety margin. Which surge protection device did you get? The lower cost ones only provide surge protection while the more expensive models have a lot of additional protections built-in.

When we were on the road I did my own greasing of the chassis we had. I carried a grease gun to do it with. Kept it in a plastic kitchen box in the basement.

The lights would indicate that you have 12V available. You need to tell us a lot more in order for us to be of much help. Dometic has made dozens of different models of refrigerator over the years and we can only guess which one you have. The age and the model of yours would go a long way to help. As you live in a remote area of Saskatchewan, Canada there may not be any qualified service technicians nearby so we would be happy to help if you give us more information to go on. If you don't know what model the unit is, this video should help you locate that information, even though it is on a Norcold. Dometic will be very similar. If you check it out, YouTube has many repair videos that may be helpful, but at this point we can only guess what might be wrong with whichever Dometic model you have.

We missed her effort to hijack your thread. It has been corrected as I split her posts into another thread.

Does the display have anything lighted up? Have you done any troubleshooting? If you let us know the model we can probably get a service manual.
