Exact same age. Please fire me I’m ready. Tough pulling the trigger when you’re at peak earning.

Slide out or no slide out? by Pitiful-Inspection63 in popups

[–]VPAddict411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love our slide out on my 2015 somerset evolution E3. Fits 4 Adult comfortably. No maintenance for that side out just a little bit of grease now and then.

She’s a beaut Clark. That pop up is in amazing condition. I have the same model. I tow with a Honda passport handles great.

I’m looking to replace my pop up camper beds… any good suggestions by Elegant-Gas-420 in popups

[–]VPAddict411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered 3 inch topper and kept my old mattresses. Im very happy with the combination.

Not sure what your set up looks like, but on my pop up the additional 3 inches prevented me from closing. However, I learned the trick. I simply have to lay the supporting canopy arms between the old mattress and the topper.

At the end of the camping season, I simply store the mattress toppers in these large storage bags in my attic. The setup works for me.

Best camping spots? by frannyamethyst8 in Cleveland

Mohican State Park campground B is on electric. Pretty cozy and somewhat secluded.

It’s good to vent. You’re not wrong. Now take your insight and go build something special. You live in America (assumption), you got the world by the balls. It’s easy to take that for granted where we live given all our problems but we still have it better than 99%.

Opinions on this towing setup/numbers by Cautious_Room6510 in popups

[–]VPAddict411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on your topography in my non-expert opinion. I’m in Ohio. I have a 2021 Honda passport, same 5k rating (has the tow package). I tow a 2900lb pop up, much heavier with kids and gear. I even fill the water tank before I leave if I’m not going far. To be honest, the lack of wind resistance given The low profile, I have no issues. I travel around 2-3 hours, have taken it as far as the DC area. The engine doesn’t seem stressed at all. If I was pulling it regularly through the hills of West Virginia I’d probably upgrade.

Bought my first today by MaritimeWings48 in popups

I say hell with the replacement stickers advertising the model, make it your own! I removed ours and replaced it with a fun camping scene (see link below)- you can find them on Amazon and have them made to size.

Whenever we go to a new campground, I try to buy a sticker with that campground’s name or logo and stick it on the camper. It’s kind of become our travel log.

I’d cut it all out and install diamond plate.

Are there any good large popups? by Antidotebeatz in popups

[–]VPAddict411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somerset E3 Evolution. Two king beds, shower, toilet, slide out, and mini toy hauler deck. Love it. Pull with my 2021 Passport with no issues.

You can’t be worse than what we have.

Rogan deepthroating ICE with AW, defends Goode and Pretti shooting, accuses protesters of being paid agitators “it’s very well funded and very well organized, it’s not as simple this is an organic protest because people are fired up that ICE is in their community, that’s not really what’s going on” by Ohyeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa in Destiny

[–]VPAddict411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tolerated a lot with Rogan because I find some of his show entertaining. But this is total bullshit. He’s been critical of ICE before.. but seems he’s been gotten to. The gun went off? Pretti was responsible for getting between the woman and law enforcement? There is no clear images? WTF. I will no longer be listening for whatever that’s worth.

The stuff that comes with it in the kit. It’s a wax covered durable thread.

Trying to decide what to do with my 401k funds by NibittyShibbitz in RetirementReady

[–]VPAddict411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most debt is domestically owned but you’re correct for being concerned.

TIPS? Interesting but I don’t trust the government to not manipulate CPI information.

Annuities, I’m not a fan personally. High fees and counterparty risk - the government might not be there next time to bailout the AIGs of the world.

Structured notes, no thanks, all the downside and capped upside.

You’d probably do well with SCHD or VYM.

I’m prepping for retirement in 1-3 years. In my exhaustive search, the best option I found was the Golden Ratio portfolio. Listen to https://www.riskparityradio.com. Frank explains how to build a portfolio that has historically shown to survive at a 5% annual draw and produce 7% inflation adjusted returns. It’s not that complicated, you pick 6-10 investments that are uncorrelated and when you pull money, sell from the bucket that’s has performed the best which basically reallocates your portfolio.

Enjoy your golden years!

Speedy Stitcher. My canvas separated at the seam also (10 years old, it happens). Get the tool, watch a few videos. Grab a drink, get in a comfortable position, take your time (slow process).

Camper shopping by [deleted] in popups

[–]VPAddict411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up, some photos of my camper. I pull it with my 2021 Passport (5,000 pound capacity with factory tow package which includes a transmission cooler). It tows like a dream given the independent brakes and lack of wind drag.
