RE: How long do most people keep their trailers?
We had our last TT 10 years with no problems until last summer when low voltage took out the Ref, heater, A/C . I told the DW maybe its time to buy another late model TT. Sold the old one to the first guy who looked at it for $9K. I have been looking since Aug but I have not found one that had the room the old 34 ft had with the front kitchen. I do the dishes and like to look out the front window and seems like the new ones all have the bed room in front

RE: Considering a MH
My Son just sold his 34 ft 5th w and bought a DP 38ft turbo Cummins with the allison trans. Coming back from Redding Ca to Sac it would not go over 65 miles
an hour. He is already missing his 5th w. But yours will be new, his is used
but like new.

RE: Slide out supports
I just bought a 2005 40 ft Park Model this week that is on a RV lot that I bought and the booklet from the Manufacturer clearly states to put slide supports under the two slide outs. I will not nor did the seller. This is on sand here in Yuma. This is a Fleet wood Park Model

RE: Thousand Trail Northwest Zone Pass
We have been members for well over years 25 and for the last 10 years I have been towing a 34 ft TT into mainly the Parks in Calif, Oregon and Wash as they are the best in our opinion. We have been to most in the system but we prefer the Northwest. La Conner is one of our fav then in Oregon, Pac City, South Jetty, Sea Side, Lake Of The Springs in Cal. But like Cat320 said it really pisses me off about TT renting the Sites for up to 3 years and no one {Members}
can use them. TT def is not what it use to be 20 years ago {family} but it still the best membership parks out there. The one year zone memberships is a great deal, pay your one year then walk away if it is not your thing. The only time I had any problems getting into sites was when I towed the 40 ft 5th that I still have. It is used as a rental now on my property in Yuma. The Parks with only 30 amps does not bother me in the least except the Park in Chalis Wash which has extreamly low voltage in the summer in a lot of sites.

RE: What do you use your outdoor shower for?
When the weather is warm enough we usually use the outdoor shower especially when boon docking. This dramatically reduces the water accumulating in the gray tank and is a great way to cool off on a hot day. Yes, we wear bathing suits, at least when there are other around. :B
We do the same

RE: Coach Wash and Detail in Yuma or Q

RE: 2012 or 2006
Smart move keeping the old truck. My wife has never asked me if I want a new truck in the 54 years that we have been married. Ummmm something is wrong ! I have in the past bought P/Ups, RVs, you name it and she gets home and ask "whose" new P/Up? She might say "looks nice" then walks in the house

RE: How you have sold RV's
Craigs List is the best for me to sell anything including RVs, park it somewhere it can be seen by lots of people, consignment lots, local paper, word of mouth. I have sold lot of RVs in my day by the above
