RE: 30amp Y Splitter for 2 RV's
Is the breaker panel located somewhere that you could install an additional breaker and wire a temporary feed for the second camper into it?

COE parks, May be old news
We just went over to our closest COE park here on the lake. Boat traffic has picked up and yes, that park just reopened last Thursday. We have had local flooding and ramps were swamped.
Found out that the COE is waiving day use fees as well as ramp fees until October 30.
Checked their website, this appears to be Nationwide. Doesnt change campgrounds.

RE: RV Shopping
To meet your requirements, there are few that have those items at a price remotely coming close to your price. Keystone Sprinter comes to mind, king bed kitchen island and larger fridge, but inspect carefully for manufacturing methods and possible defects. This is not their premium line so, be picky about the specific unit and clearing as many little things as possible before taking delivery.

RE: marginal park power on hot days
Do you really think they will go out at midnight to connect?
They will start connecting as soon as they arrive and then complain that their AC isn't working, anything but admit it's their own doing.Car has a timer. Will be sound asleep.
They will want to do things and go places, and the 120 volt is slow, so they will be starting asap in most cases.
It takes 4 days on a Tesla S to fully recharge.
tesla charge
and you know the trucks will have even larger banksn needing even more time.

RE: marginal park power on hot days
And think how much better it will be when 30% or more of the folks in there are trying to charge their electric tow vehicles.You mean pulling 20 amps off a 50 amp connector from midnight to 7AM?

RE: Painfully slow internet
Do you have unlimited data on your ATT plan?
If so, turn on your wifi hotspot.
If not, check with ATT to find out how much more it will cost you to increase your data.

RE: Has anyone added an extra water tank to RV roof
If you decide against trying that, have you considered an Idaho Tote or Freedom Hauler
Nearly 3000 lb capacity so haul all the water you want.
or, a cargo carrier.
cargo carrier
I would keep the weight to maybe 350, but that should still help you, and you could leave it empty most of the time , only filling when your getting close to your destination.
Happy motorin

RE: DESPERATE NEWBIE
Apparently the dealership did not explain much of anything to you. The generator, and how and what it runs should have been part of your walk through.
You likely would find it helpful to stay at an rv park for at least a month, hopefully you can find an experienced neighbor who can help you understand how everything ties together. If not, you may want to have a local RV tech come out and walk you through all the basics that should have been covered at delivery.
To find spmeplace to stay initially try using the online apps to locate places. rv parky
This will let you browse campgrounds and check pricing pretty quickly. And you can scroll the maps to compare areas.
Get out of Boston if possible and it gets much cheaper and easier, an example
3 ponds
Good luck.

RE: Motorcycle Towing
If you are pulling a tt, I'd look hard at carrying a large bike in the 8' bed of the 3/4 or 1 ton truck towing it.

RE: Cherrystone RV in VA Area
An hour north of ther is the town of Chincoteague Va. Home of a national wildlife refuge, with the wild horses that Margurite Henry wrote of, as well as a nice oceanside beach. A visit to Wallops Island is easy there also which is a NASA facility with some interesting museum pieces.

RE: Roadside Assistance Companies
With any,,,,, look at what they cover,,,,,
GS has been repeatedly blasted for having so many exclusions that basically they cover nothing. I'm not sure most others are much better.
So far , we've been lucky, and not needed it, but we have USAA insurance and hope it covers us in Ca next year.

RE: Black Water Accident
"Why did I have this unpleasant start to our camping trip?"
Because you had clean clothes, and 10-12 days to wonder WHEN it would happen again. :)
Some would say "Murphy's Law"
But Murphy was an optimist, things are actually much more dire. :R

RE: Culling the herd....
No, they're the ones swimming with the sharks & Jellyfish when they come east to the ocean. ;)
I grew up in Va Beach, and yeah we saw some of that, but not to the level of stupidity on a routine basis like you see or hear of in places like Yellowstone.
BTW one of my favorite memories was of watching a kid from somewhere out of our area who upon seeing the ocean, told his mother,,,,
"Look,,, It keeps flushing and flushing."

RE: Purchasing land to live on in DC area - zoning questions
In order to get a well or septic permit in a rural county area will require a plan for building a home or garage/business in the near future.
Your best bet would be to look for a location with a recent fire or other event which would allow a location with existing well/septic/electric to be used the way you wish without overt government scrutiny. Even a location with a "still standing" trailer or mobile home, again, anything with functional well and septic in a location where you can be discrete......
Otherwise, I would look toward Richmond or Essex county Va.

RE: Culling the herd....
It's always comical how the "coastal" folks who seem to want to run and control everyone, are almost always the ones who do things this stupid.
You don't often hear of someone from Wyoming, Nebraska, or Montana doing stuff like this.
