TxBobcat, I think this is a superior video. First day I hooked up my trailer, by myself with no one from the dealer to help me, caused me a bit of anxiety. I have done it, hooked and unhooked, 3 times now and am a pro. Pulling the trailer no longer causes me angst. So, 2 out of 3 major taskings...

Thanks for the suggestions. I had seen these and wondered about them.

Truly I/we expected "some" issues. Would have wondered otherwise. It was a trip of exploration and, as such, was 100% successful.

I posted some pictures in an album, but not sure how to share. So going to put a few here. I hope. The Bosses. Life is good. Guadalupe River State Park. 03/20/2016 - 03/23/2016. Only couple of issues found. A/C is a bit noisy. Fan sounds like it might have a bearing loose. When diverted...

Love the bear. We have started our own, but being Heartland owners we thought there might be more specific check lists for us. Just a thought. I have my first Equalizer hitch. I am setting up a special check list just for this. I am, as you say, sure it will become 2nd nature, but until it...

You ever notice that there are people that all you have to do is kinda point them in the right direction and they are off and running? And then there are those that after careful, detailed instruction and explanations, look at you with those wide blank staring eyes? I am kinda in the 2nd...

I am sure others will say, but as I understand it, the propane port puts out a low pressure. Standard grills have a regulator that take the tank pressure and drop it down. So, if it is already low...you see the problem. I have "heard" some have taken the regulator off of the propane grill to get...

If one can be come proficient doing something by youtube videos, I am now ready to go to work for Fedex. :rolleyes: That was an awe inspiring video. I can't backup like that into my driveway with my pickup! Timing is so bad. We made our decision 03/01/2016. The dealer was busy, so we can't do...

Again good stuff and again thanks. Gives me things to think upon. - - - Updated - - - One hopes that at an RV park this would be noticed. And at my storage facility, it has cameras and I would hope this would be noticed there as well. If not it will certainly make my insurance company unhappy.

This is good stuff. I will be looking into your Combicams. I am working on some kind of camera system myself. Of course it will only be active while we are using the TT. What set up are you using? I have been looking at the Arlo set up. I realize that the only way I can guarantee never to...

Good advice. We don't "plan" on being full timers, but who knows what the future brings? Always a good idea to know the neighbors. Short or long. I am just trying to keep my well learned paranoia in check and not driving my wife crazy. TBD if I will be successful at either.

My wife agrees with guyc66's zen acceptance. I feel that if I can, for a moderate price, at least somewhat annoy any would be thief, that I have done my part. I "kinda" worry about it at a RV site. State park or private, but was really thinking of storage. It will, sadly, most likely spend more...

Wasn't sure where to post this. Seems the only place I found dealing with security was a closed forum. Don't know if I didn't search long enough. Anyway. When I am at a camp ground, and I want to leave for a few hours to visit some POI, I worry that someone could come in, unhook my 22RBK and...

Have told Lady Wife that one way to get me to stop is to move out of my line of sight. I will NOT back up unless I SEE she is clear. - - - Updated - - - I will certainly be testing the validity of "old dogs learning new tricks". This HAS been a great thread and truly appreciate all the...

Now THAT sounds like a great plan!
