RE: Wearing under bedroom slide ???
do it before it wears out the Darco material or you will be facing a costly repair if moisture gets into the MDF lining the slide. I tried tape and various coatings but ultimately had to get the slide rebuilt as water wicked down the sides of slide and then along the now porous and torn liner.

RE: Feedback on 12V water heater element as solar diversion load
I would check what the load circuit is rated for as normally its a few LED lights, small 12v fan or plugging in USB ports for phones/tablet etc. I wouldn't think it could manage any sort of big load unless you had a pretty sizeable setup (think grid tie system on a house with 3000-4000W of solar.

RE: Cargo trailers to tow behind an RV
I have never towed a cargo trailer behind an rv but many buddies double tow behind 5er's. Their suggestion to me was to consider a 2 axle setup that makes a blowout an inconvenience vs an instant destabilizing event you may not see until its too late. I would be curious to hear others thoughts on this scenario.

RE: Propane Tank Issues
Some propane setups come with a manifold where the LP can split off to furnace, hot water heater, stove, oven and external bbq. Should there be more outlets than needed the manifold may have a "plug" on an unneeded outlet. If that plug is loose or missing then you would lose LP from it. Maybe post a pic for folks to look at

RE: ALWAYS something!
I think many of us sometimes question the balance of fun vs frustration of rv's. I just put thousands of dollars into suspension, bearings, and slide repairs and it almost broke my spirit. Then we set up for a few wonderful trips with family and friends and I realized yes its been great. You really need to be handy and take the break downs in stride cause they happen more and more with todays "shoddy" units. I bet a lot of folks got into rv's during Covid and are now regretting the payments/storage/maintenance/insurance etc that go into our hobby. Life is short so im glad to put up with the negatives to enjoy the positives.
