Pex lines are more forgiving than copper. As long as the water can expand while freezing, it won't crack any piping. 15-20 minutes of blowing 40 psi air through and alternating what faucet valves you...

For those that say the law requires the registration to be with the car, I'll bet it doesn't say it has to be in the glove compartment or center console (where a thief would look). I'll bet you could...

I don't hate dogs, but I hate when an unknown dog decides it wants to jump up on me (is it a fear or phobia? Maybe). So much so that I have and will continue to yell at it and forcibly push it away...

Okay, this is a mild surprise to me. We will be moving to Texas next year and will be bringing our Illinois registered ROO 233S with us. Where can I look up the requirements for such an endeavor?

This sounds way more complicated then I am willing to go through. Maybe for guys that pull longer distances but the most I go is a couple hundred miles. I'll just keep eyeballing it.

The flexing of the trailer will allow the doors to pop open. Especially when the deadbolt isn't latched. We fold the folding grab handle across the door to prevent it from opening while underway.

Not to mention the door can swing open and then slam shut, latching itself in a couple seconds, maybe while you were doing something else, like focusing on traffic or the other mirror.

HA! I've been 8 over the posted limit and had many transporters pass me on the interstate. The more trailers they deliver, the more money they make.

When we look at RV's, I go straight to the bathroom and if the shower stall isn't big enough for me to bend down and reach my feet, there is nothing more to look at in that unit.
