  1. That’s a very nice sentiment and I agree, but did you miss the part where the snake was in the plumbing inside the house? That’s a dead snake every single time.
  2. It’s almost like you’re already in co and hit the dispensary first. Mmmm...goldfish
  3. Does the all electric fridge stay on when not connected to power/genny? That would suck if not
  4. That is very slick. I prefer two inverters in parallel too. You can always just run one if a/c is not needed(if you have the dogbone to plug into 120). This what I have
  5. Since camper was always exposed, I did cover tires when it was put up. Tires, brakes, wheel hubs. Three most important components to maintain. Do you know how to set trailer brake controller to road conditions? So many people just guess on it, but it’s super important to set it right depending on road conditions.... get trailer on flat surface going about 5 mph, let truck coast and slide lever on controller all the way to simulate a panic stop, trailer should slow truck down, just before locking up trailer tires, adjust it to number right before they lock up and then go down one more number. If roads are at all slick, notch controller waaaay down. Most dangerous situation is locking up trailer brakes on slick road and jackknife.
  6. Boats are in enclosed pole barn on my land. Never covered the rv when I had it. Was either parked in open on my property or left in rv park at the coast.
  7. That cat at 1:29 makes it look so easy
  8. Jeebus, maybe it’s just me, but I would never be able to comfortably sit on that toilet again.
  9. Wowza. One lesson to take from that is to give yourself plenty of time before dark. Maybe also have a Xanax ready to go
  10. Yea, gonna need some more details. Whatever it was, dont let it discourage you. Learning experience that you will be able to look back on and laugh about.
  11. I haven’t looked at those models. Convertible front casting deck sounds very cool. I’m more speaking to the extended swim platform on an I/o. Definitely more room to hang back ther with no outboard Edit: And chaparral is miles better quality than a Tahoe
  12. I agree with everything there, but his question was an outboard or an I/o on a bowrider. I agree with troph and am assuming he is talking about lake use. I/o all the way if fishing is a secondary/casual use and his choice is outboard or I/o. All else being equal, outboard is just going to get in the way. If he wants to fish primarily, bowrider is not the boat, I/o or outboard. He would have same experience fishing from an I/o or outboard powered bowrider, but much better experience with an I/o bowrider doing everything else on the lake. My original suggestion was an I/o bowrider and center console for fishing. I have a v-drive wake boat and center console fish boat. There is no boat that does both well.
  13. I was just assuming freshwater. If you want to get in the bay, an I/o would be monumental stupid. There is no reason a bowrider with an I/o can’t go anywhere a bowrider with an outboard can go.
  14. Giving this a second thought and it seems the fishing is a big component to your wants. A bowrider is not a serious fishing boat. You can certainly post up somewhere and drop a line or bobber fish with the kiddos, but trolling and casting to fish are kinda not what it does. Just fyi
  15. Personally, I don’t care for the aesthetics of a bowrider with an outboard. Also, one of the main hangout areas is the swim platform and the outboard kinda fucks that up. I’m certainly not dogging on outboards, they are marvels of engineering and I’ve owned several on fishing boats. The I/o will also give you a bit more maintenance hassle at end of year having to drain engine block of water. But there is nothing quite like the rumble of a v8 motor under the cowl. I wouldnt sweat the livewell on a non fishing boat. If you want it just for bait on the few times you need minnows, just use a bait bucket and toss it over the side every so often.
  16. One of those things is not like the other.
  17. Dp
  18. But honestly, based on your experience level and wants. Boat club membership first before you buy.
  19. If that’s the budget, I say two boats. 30k on gently used 21’ I/o bowrider (chaparral or cobalt if you find a good deal). 20k on used 18’ center console for fishing.
  20. My wife takes shower every time I sex her....When I’m being a bad ass with rv shit that is actually happening with frequency, so grey tank is gonna get filled up and fuck the dishes. I have been known to piece together a couple poop hoses and stretch them out to woods and let some grey water out at 3am. Don’t judge me, gonna get laid
  21. Absolutely have done this. With showers and family of four(what I was dealing with) those grey tanks fill up fast. Another tip: do not dump black tank unless you have a full, or mostly full, grey tank to get a proper flushing. After dumping black, I would close black valve and open grey valve. After about 30 seconds I would open black valve again and let some of the grey back pressure back flush, then close black valve and let grey finish draining. Once done I would disconnect hose from camper and hold it high and wash with water hose while other end still connected to sewer for a couple minutes. Edit: When weather permits and filling grey tank is concern, make use of outdoor shower. Shower is by far the biggest culprit
  22. The short answer is they are all equally shitty! I think the same corporate conglomerate that owns airstream also owns Jayco and many others. They all have different levels of trim and finish out. I’ve owned two Jayco eagles and have been relatively happy with how they held up.
  23. Same boat. Not exactly needed, but fearful of the future. I took 24900 and will hold it. 25000 and above has collateral/insurance requirements. if needs dictate i can increase amount and get more at later date. Did not want to refuse loan with looming uncertainty. Interest is sunk cost and treating it like insurance for the time being.
  24. i don’t think a worker can choose to remain on unemployment in this scenario. As an employer, if I was faced with a worker trying to continue to remain on unemployment and I’d offered their old job back, I would let twc know about it.
