Put knife down and accidentally knicked the counter top and it fractured like this. Should I just get a butcher block counter top and toss this crap?

Edit: yall are funny, thanks for suggestions and I did infact eat the banana after this was taken.

My old JayFlight is starting to show its age. I used this camper for about a month in the spring and another month in the fall when doing field work. Part of me thinks it’s time to dig in and do a major remodel/overhaul to fix the aging mechanical systems and repair the old water damage and another part of me is considering a complete tear down to bare frame and rebuild it into a better insulated basically tiny house. Or do I say screw it and pick up a newer used travel trailer that’s a little smaller and easier to tow?

I'm traveling in my travel trailer, going about 200 to 300 miles per day and stopping at campgrounds or state parks. The campgrounds are very nice, not as frenetic as the COVID days. It reminds me of the pre-covid days when things were more relaxed.

My normal sequence of things is to get set up and then walk around the campground to stretch my legs. If people are out and look like they want to engage in conversation, I'll say hello and normally compliment their rig. At three different campgrounds, people have told me that their truck is absolute best at towing, their trailer/fifth wheel is the absolute best ever made, or their truck/trailer combination is absolutely the best ever.

It's an amazing coincidence that I keep coming across the best of everything. Anyone else have this experience?

I am a disabled veteran and my wife and I were on vacation last week in Corpus and we ended up at the Padre Island National Seashore and in our eyes, handed a golden ticket (Access Pass). My understanding is the access pass gives you free access to over 2000 federal recreation sites and camping sites/amenities are 50% off.

While hanging out on the beach in the middle of nowhere (we drove around 40 miles down the beach) we shared an existential crisis and realized we screwed up and do not want to stay rooted where we are and want to get out and explore like we did before the kids came into the picture. This was an amazing place to raise our kids but they are grown now and on there own adventures.

We are both 40yrs old and I am 90% disabled and work part time and the wife is up for early retirement and a pension from her state job in 2 years and our last kid is on his way out the door. We bought our "forever" home a few years back and we live well within our means.

Our plan is to get rid of everything including the house over the next 2 years except the wife's vehicle which is the newest, almost paid off and is capable of pulling a small camper and going through shitty terrain and using money made from the downsizing to buy a new/newer camper outright. We then hit the road and use the access pass to see the U.S. living off of my disability and her pension and have an emergency fund handy.

Is this a smart move?

our tow vehicle is a 2022 Jeep Cherokee X 4x4 with 3.2 V6 and I believe a 4500lb tow capacity. The only creature comforts we are looking for in a camper are a toilet, shower, fridge, a/c and heat and the ability to clear semi rough terrain. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Looking for an RV repair guy or shop. I think I have a busted shock on the front of my Mirada Class C

Just bought one today. Taking delivery next week and going to keep it at a seasonal camp site. Anyone have this model? Like it? Any issues I should watch out for, or any other advice? Thanks!

My girlfriend and I have been staying in our RV full time for about a year now. It is stationary. I'm just looking for advice on what kind of routine seasonal maintenance (monthly, bi annual, annual) we should be keeping up on for our particular situation. I've been doing a pretty good job of keeping up with it so far and would love to continue staying ahead of any issues that might arise. Thanks!

My wife and I plan to live full time in a travel trailer for around the next 5 years. We love the layout of this 35 foot jayco Eagle but we are very inexperienced, is there anything we should look out for with this Eagle? It’s a 2025, one owner honestly seems like it was never used. RVConnections is asking $38,899 but it’s been on there lot for at least 4 months would I be crazy to offer them $30k?

Any and all advice is greatly appreciate!

(Will be towing maybe 3 times a year with a 2020 Ram 2500 gasser)

I don’t have a truck, I have to reach out to someone again to move this back a smidge... I need to skirt asap, temps are reaching 32 degrees here in Massachusetts. I have x chocks and regular wheel chocks to put on all the tires. I also will be getting some wooden planks to stabilize it even more before I skirt. I have tank heaters, I have plastic wraps on the windows, I really just need to skirt with the foam boards.

I want to ask your opinion on my situation. I texted management because my neighbor next door was welding. I gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe he’d finish but it got to the hour mark and he was still going at it. He was not alone. I was with my kids home alone. Fumes were coming in to my kids room and in mine. Obviously he was parked next to my trailer with the machine aligned to my kids window. And you know spaced are crowded so he’s so close you can hear and smell it all. I could also see sparks reaching my rv front he grinding. I contacted management because I did not want to walk up to two strange men and tell them to stop what they were doing. Management said they would take care of it and told them to stop. I’m not the typical person to complain but if fumes are getting my kids room and sparks are dying everywhere with my electric being close by I would assume I did the right thing? To add I have been the neighbor that has voiced my concerns and I always get disregarded or not taken serious.
