My problem is the grey line extends maybe 2 feet out of the enclosed underbelly before the grey valve, so there is a lot to unfreeze. Thia seems like a bad design that defeats the purpose of...

Truth right there!

My mother (who is in her late 60s) attended a Forest River rally this summer and took an RV driving class. She now feels comfortable driving and even backing up.

I've read about thiefs backing up to a trailer and just using the safety chains to pull it away, so the hitch lock might not be as effective as we think. If they can be in and out quickly they will...

Right, that's what I wondered. So you live in TN now, but you can't get out of your membership with the parks in MI. OP is thinking that you can just quit if you don't want it anymore, but I've been...

Gotcha. My local membership is $8000 + $500 per year in maintenance fees. And it's a contract, so you owe them those maintenance fees every year until you die. I don't think there is a way to...

Well, I just got a phone call from Keystone.
