RE: Recommendations for a a route from PA to CO avoiding IL
Just store any weapons where you can’t get to them unloaded and the ammo in a different area. Don’t speed and you should be fine.

RE: moving up to 50 amp from 30
If we’re me with a new unit, I bite the bullet and call in a electrician and run a circuit that supports the unit. A one time expense you will thank yourself for down the road.

RE: Lake Wateree State Park, SC
I’ve talked with the park staff and they are not happy with the new area either. Sites are tight, some really tight so only smaller unit will fit. I understand the clear cut, hard to lay pipe, build roads, and electrical having to deal with all them trees. Will take some time to work out some of the warts. Still one of my favorite parks but I’ll stay in the old part.

RE: JEEP as TOAD
The Jeep is a great toad. I swapped a Chevy Sonic for a 2015 Jeep and it is much more fun to drive, can goes places a Sonic could not, and in my case NO power needed when towing. The manual points out procedure to assure transfer case in neutral, and transmission in Park. I just hook the Jeep to the tow bar, put transfer in neutral etc. then get out and push the Jeep. If it rolls it’s in neutral. Dump the Brake Buddy and get a Ready Brake. No more taking the Brake Buddy in and out. It attaches between your mh and existing tow bar. No power needed to Jeep, you can remove the key. Jeep removed the steering wheel lock around 2008 May a tear or so earlier.

RE: Black Water Accident
If you had waste matter in the pipe the waste is still going to decompose and generate gas. When you loosened the cap the gas and stuff found a way out. Been there.

RE: reliabilty
You’ll be looking for a 15yo DP RV for under $50k. You should expect to a few issues, maintenance that needs to be done, things not working as expected. But I hope you find something you like.

RE: When I'm driving do I run my fridge on propane or electric?
propane for everything - fridge, water heater, etc. depending on how far you’re driving you may consider turning the fridge off until you get where you’re going. To NOT run the furnace if you only have one battery. Do you have a generator to take with you to charge the battery if needed?

RE: Myrtle beach - Lakewood alcohol rule?
If drink in your RV no issue. If you get drunk and act like a butt outside your RV then it’s a problem. If you are visibly and obviously drinking a adult beverage outside it’s a problem.

RE: Apple's cooperation with Chinese officials
China is a government controlled country, and has complete say of what their citizens can read, say, do. If Apple or any other company wants to do business in China they have to play by their rules, or take theIr toys and go home. Google and Facebook have to play by China’s rules also.
I support Apple in not creating a “back door” into their products which can be exploited by not so nice people. There has been several instances where police / FBI have gained access to locked down iPhones using third party software and services. Millions of people keep their very private information on iPhones, iPads, iCloud storage. I want it near impossible for anyone other than me to get that data.

RE: Several questions
A few things to consider... Do you really want a big truck to use as a daily driver, go site seeing, running to the store? How comfortable are you backing up a fifth wheel, boat, trailer? Many campgrounds such as KOA’s have laundry facilities that are usually open 24/7 so I’m not sure it should be high on your list of needs. If you were planning on living in the RV full time then yes opt for a w/d. Before you swap vehicles decide what type RV you really want by going to a big dealer and check out a class C, class A, and of course a fifth wheel. Compare real storage area, tank sizes, livability. Some class C’s allow use of the front seats while parked, some don’t.
Where in SC are you?

RE: slide vs no slide
Many slide issues fall into the category of self inflicted wounds. Not following instructions, not performing maintenance, forgetting to unlock the slide locks. Nobody gets on here and touts how well their slides work, rather how theirs got stuck.
If it's just you and spouse you might do well without slides. More folks need more room. If you find a late model W/O slides get in it and imagine being in it for an extended period of time. You’ll figure it out.

RE: Remote Fridge Cutoff Switch
Question... Is your fridge on the driver side? Mine is and should I desire a switch to turn it on or off while fueling, I’d do something with the outlet it plugs into which is behind the lower vent cover. Because my Dometic is in a slide I have two vent covers.

RE: ? 12-Inch Female-Female Hose - What For?
The connection on my black tank flush has a female connection. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a male connection on the flush connect. What I think, is that that small piece of hose fits between the water source and the porta-tote connection to rinse out the tote after dumping. On my tote, there is a connection that serves there functions. 1) has a red plastic pop-up to indicate when the tote is full. 2) an air vent to allow air in as stuff goes out. 3) serves as the flush connection. I lost mine so if the OP would like to get rid of it, PM me.

RE: to plug in or not to plug in when mhome is at home
Mine plugged in all the time, except of course while driving it. If your charging system is smart enough to stop charging when batteries are full, then go for it. Every couple of weeks, check the water level in them, add if required.

RE: Well, it's over
Nothing like swapping motorhomes to see how much **** one hauls around with them just in case you may need it somewhere, someday, maybe.
Sorry you have to give it up, but you have done it long enough to have memories for a long time.
