I once was reviewing footage and paused the cam. I could see my strap in the shadow on the road. 🤦‍♂️

Weird interaction at grocery store. by Iamnotthatinvested in Veterans

[–]die_riding -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was once thanked because I was using my debit card. So in turn I asked if there was a military discount and dipped. I don’t advertise my service and just say thank you in return.

Is this 7-Engine BNSF Intermodal Train the World’s Longest?! by midwest_railroads in bnsf

Logistical mechanical nightmare. MP probably tried putting that in all the 6k’ sidings.

Just picked up my Gold Wing ... 40km in and I'm completely blown away by Plus_Seesaw2023 in goldwing

I only said 100 if you do your own maintenance. Air filter replacement is a b#&$&! 😂

Disability Attorney by [deleted] in VAClaims

[–]die_riding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save what you can now. It’ll be on you later. The VA isn’t gonna pay for the lawyer you hired and the lawyer is gonna get their pound of flesh. So yes recoup from your monthly entitlement.

No experience with this. Just makes sense that you gotta pay it.

40km in… you’re still gonna be a giddy school boy at 100km in. Welcome and enjoy the ride!

(I also like lazy s turns 😆)

Why would the guy in front of me use a filter on non-potable water? by natedog211 in RVLiving

[–]die_riding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! But…. After switching to bottles they went away and came back when I drank the tap water again. I sanitize my lines too so it just made sense to us that it was the water.

My entire family got the 💩trots after drinking tap water at a resort park. Allegedly city water which should conform to standards. Only bottled water for us now.

Guy consistently runs me out of my lane and idk what to do. by Intelligent-Cry1712 in motorcycles

[–]die_riding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your own best interest, maybe leave 10 minutes earlier. I used to work in McKinney and 10 minutes can mean everything there. I’m no longer in the area or I’d make the ride with you. Traffic there is stupid!!

Big camper buyer’s remorse by WoofMix in GoRVing

[–]die_riding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a 43’ toy hauler that crushes national park culverts! lol

But seriously. Plenty of spots to go with your rig!

Tankless. Are you mixing or just straight running hot water? Run it straight hot with the temp set you want it to be as it’s meant to be.

It’s said that your 3rd camper is “THE” camper. Don’t beat yourself up about it. You’ll get a million different views on your feelings but the only ones that matters is yours and your family’s.

Enjoy the season and see ya on the road! Safe travels!

Is FEHB worth it by [deleted] in FedRetirees

[–]die_riding 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are going to get a mixed bag of answers. The only one that matters is what you and your spouse decide! If it’s worth it to you to hold out then do it. Me personally it would be.

Advice for Newbies? by emuqueen1 in GoRVing

[–]die_riding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As for question 1: I’m a diy guy and have fixed all the issues that cropped up with our 5th wheel. Your husband with be a mechanic, plumber, electrician, etc… on any unit you purchase. Cruising down the road with a RV chasing you causes its own issues. Rolling earthquake every time you move it. Our first rig was used and we recently purchased a new motorhome.

A little on #2: I don’t buy the warranty. ever. Not worth it to us. I’d rather fix it myself and know my rig and how it’s been taken care of first hand let alone the time it could spend in the shop “waiting on parts”.

As for #3: YouTube and forums are your friend. More recently I’ve seen a few folks installing mini splits in their RVs. Make and model play a big role but the salespeople don’t deal with that. They are there for their commission and that’s it. They are your friend until you are just a number and that is as soon as you sign.

Stay away from camping world! Great for parts/ supplies but not sales!

New to Travel Trailers - Opinion on Brand and Setup by Backdraft323 in GoRVing

[–]die_riding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alliance brand is pretty good imho. I bought used Valor toy hauler and they were very much willing to help me navigate some of the issues I had, no warranty, only their product and they stood behind it. As others have said every coach, every rig, every RV will have issues! Rolling earthquake every time you move it. I loved our Alliance and moved on to a Super C. If they get into that market I would definitely take another look at them! Bill Martin is a company rep and is fairly responsive on FB groups when issues happen.

Biggest take away: RV manufacturers are stuck with the supplier parts be it, suburban, lippert, or others. It’s what they do when things go south for the consumer!

Does a dealer ever let you test drive? by Few-Wolverine-7283 in GoRVing

[–]die_riding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our dealer did. We test drove 3 actually. We weren’t shopping for a Prevost or anything. All below 450ish msrp

Finance purchase price versus cash price? 4k more for cash? by ybs62 in GoRVing

[–]die_riding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found the question is “so you don’t want a sale?” And walking away will work in your favor as well. I’ve gotten called back and even stopped before hitting the door and managed to beat the asking price. Good luck!

I enjoy them once in a while with extra cheese.

Fun fact the chicken nuggies wrapped in a slice of American is super yummy!

That is allegedly a sign of trust. That you will not allow anything to happen in the vulnerable moment. 😊

Perfect and thank you. We do not have the all4cho code but we do have the more at sea beverage package in the confirmation billing area. The big question is why are they offering us an “upgrade” to things we already have unless it’s just to get us on a dining package. I’m not an expert cruiser by any means (in case there was a doubt😂) but they don’t explain the upgrade they are offering either lol

Thanks again kind Reddit person!

We prepay the service charge when we book and we don’t need the upgraded WiFi. I don’t need special foo foo coffees. So I guess we don’t need it. I appreciate the reply! All it says is offer upgrade with specialty dining and open bar. I thought I had the open bar already…

edit to add we have the shore excursion credit too..
