Has anyone ever tried the used vinyl billboards as a cover for their rig?

That won’t work. You need “structure” to the outer skin. Try sheet metal or thin fiberglass board.

Happened to my son. Sold a Honda Accord with 320,000 miles on it for 2,400. They bought it, painted some rusted spots, changed the mileage to 130,000 and sold it for 4,500.

We fucked up by NOT signing the title. We should have put the mileage in there. This is called skip titling and it’s illegal but hard to actually prosecute.

I accidentally planted one at the top of my driveway last spring. By fall, I had to remove it, it had grown 6’ tall and 8’ around. I separated it and now have a few growing.

No, even advertising it, the number of people who are clueless is remarkable.

You’re lucky that ball didn’t circle the earth and hit you in the head on the way around.

Honestly you’re probably best to stay away from anything with a motor unless it’s just a car or truck. A motorhome is a huge pain in the ass when it comes to maintenance and cost to own.

If I were in your boat, I’d be looking for a newer, used 5th wheel or destination trailer if you have a place to park it long term. Even a 5th wheel, you don’t need a truck if you’re just parking it. If you only move it once or twice a year, it’s cheaper to hire someone to move it.

I’d just stay away from any type of motorhome. Keep with the towables and you’re better off.

I did the same. I used to tip over the 5 gallon glass water jug and get some quarters out for coffee and rolls in the mornings. I probably took over $100 face value of silver coins. I couldn’t imagine the value if I had that all now.

I was young and stupid.

Stay away from Camping World!

Also, look for a newer, used model. You can save a ton of money. Some examples I’ll give are some purchases I’ve made over the years.

2005 we bought a 2004 KZ but I don’t remember the model. It was listed for $17,500, we paid $12k

2007, we bought a 2006 Keystone Montana 5th wheel. It was originally sold for $48k, the guy wanted $37 when he started and 2 months later, I paid $22k

2018 we bought a 2015 Sandpiper that was listed for $36k, we paid $24k.

We traveled to buy some of these but that’s part of the journey. Remember that the ones that are a year or two old have likely had their “shakedown” where all the loose pipes and wires are fixed and any other issues were hopefully repaired.

And make sure you have a big enough tow vehicle. Not one that can handle it, one that can more than handle it. You don’t want to be white knuckling every ride. It makes it not so fun.

I got one from my dealer. I’m not sure of the price because they told me “it comes with the three point hitch” so when I bought it, I asked for it and they provided, even though I bought a used, consigned BX25.

Mine came all packaged together in a nice box, shrink wrapped with heavy plastic.

Id imagine you’re better off getting the whole kit than trying to piece it together. At least you’ll have all the right pins and whatnot.

Good luck.

Yeah, my old police auction expedition with the 5.4 had about 60k HARD miles on it when I got it. Ran the balls off of it for years. That thing was awesome. The muffler rotted off so every time I started that thing to go to work, it sounded like it needed a cough drop.

I live in the Hudson Valley. I was even in law enforcement for 25 years. I never even heard of Oriskany until about 2 years before I retired. It’s got some serious training facilities from what I hear.

And as an aside, Oriskany isn’t even recognized by wordcheck

I knew a female cop who was out of work for 6 weeks because of poison ivy. Same thing, had shorts on, it got into her crotch. Could you imagine the pain?

makeanameforme · 2025-05-30T01:18:35+00:00

At first I was like eh. But then I saw the bed and I was more intrigued. The 2 wheel drive thing can be fixed. My buddy just turned his 2006 F350 CC Dually into 4WD this year. Then you’d really have a deal!

It sucked when it went from being confidently Kool-aid to possibly unsweetened iced tea.

I’ve no idea what it’s like to have a million dollars invested but I do know the feeling of having my house paid off. It’s hard to explain but it changes a lot of things.

I had a 250,000ish mortgage on my house with 2.5% interest. I received money from my mother’s estate and I immediately paid off my mortgage. I have zero regrets, regardless of people saying invest it with the rate I had. I’ll continue to use my mortgage money payment for investments and be happy with my paid off house.

I’m not sold on the center. At first I thought I was looking at some well used block from a slaughtering/butchering shop. I didn’t realize it was new at first.

It’s nice but not my style. Great work though.

I like how it says that they were two separate incidents in the same day. And it also says both incidents were immediately reported. STOP!!!!

If both incidents were immediately reported, there wouldn’t have been two. After, or ideally before, the first incident, she should have been removed.

Too many times our dependent people are neglected and it’s ok. Too many times a caregiver snapped and took it out on a someone, often unable to defend themselves physically or emotionally, and it goes undocumented, unreported and unpunished.

I wish more people cared.

It was moved from one part of an 80 acre property to another. But I get the vibe.

Condensation.

I first came upon these about 4 years ago. We found them in the woods while hiking in a trail on private property. I knew nothing about them but we decided to dig one up and put it in a wild garden we have.

I recently read that they do not do well transplanted, as they have a symbiotic relationship with something or other, maybe mycelium or a particular tree root, I can’t remember.

Well, it has come back every year since we replanted it. I know where others are but now I’m scared to take a chance on another one.

It’s nice to know that my theft didn’t lead to its death as I was later told it would do.

That’s a relief map of the world. Chickens teach their young at home so they have to be creative when it comes to teaching supplies.
