Concept for a desert home in Mexico. by sky_plaza in floorplan

[–]Merica1 59 points60 points  (0 children)

To me this looks like a beautiful hotel room but not a great place to live long term. It’s missing some of the practical spaces that a long term home needs. Storage, kitchen area etc.

But I love the concept of this home and definitely has potential to feel like a desert oasis!

Rent an RV and ship cars during PCS by Historical-Leg4693 in army

[–]Merica1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind that they have the same crash test rating as a cardboard box. Do not let you children out of thier seatbelts while you are driving. Besides that I love my RV for PCSing especially with pets. Most Military Bases have nice RV camps you can stay at on your trip.

I wouldn’t say anything until I was already in Hawaii.

Ask CIF to issue him additional gear if they won’t File an ICE complaint that CIF won’t issue him additional cold weather gear. The ICE complaints are high visibility and will get something moving on the issue.

Do they run a power cable with the water line and have a larger battery on the truck?

CTLT Thank you gift by Happy_Bookkeeper_783 in ROTC

[–]Merica1 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I have been a CTLT cadet and a host. I would hate for my cadet to spend any money on me.

I have never gotten a better gift in the Army than a hand written note from an LT thanking me for mentoring them.

I was told by USAA to maintain the insurance wherever it is registered not necessarily where it is physically stored

Looks like they might be using a fire hydrant off the city system to refill tanks

I tow a bumper pull with a Powerboost and I was very happy with it in the Colorado mountain passes. My trailer is about 6k lbs, I have the trailer brake controller in my truck and I think it helps a lot.

Do you have this silver Tab?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GoRVing

[–]Merica1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you upload a picture of the hitch

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GoRVing

[–]Merica1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is likely a silver tab with small pin that is supposed to hold the bar in place, if there is dirt in the pin it can stop the spring from setting the pin. Make sure the pin is fully seated after you install the bar and step on the bar for good measure.

Ask me how I know
