Our major irritation is restroom facilities that are not handicap accessible, and we really appreciate the few places that have "unisex" shower facilities where I can help my wife rather than trying to "sneak" her into the mens showers very early or very late to help her shower. We generally use the trailer as a place to sleep and eat and otherwise are out in the surrounding areas so if it's noisy we turn on the fan or AC and play music-problem solved. Otherwise we sit outside and watch whatever is going on around us-everything from bison to birds to chipmunks and squirrels (and people).

If you have 3/4" sockets to raise/lower your stabilizers.....1) you could buy electric ones (stabilizers), 2) use a regular drill to lower them (get a good one with a lot of torque)....much less noise.

As far as handicapped, depending on the situation we are as well. Depending on where you are there are so many variables for a person when you have a disability. Finding those "perfect" places when traveling in an RV and wanting to see new/fun things can pose a problem.

Unisex bathrooms?? I'm from TX...."either you is, or you ain't" - never found a "unisex". I've seen, and encountered folks with problems; I say I, or anyone else, takes care of someone with a problem. Do I need to stand outside to help/protect the folks? That's fine. IF a unisex bathroom was for those handicapped folks that needed 2 folks "only" it would be OK, but, we have now devolved into a what, in my mind, is a pretty sick society.

If you are in a campground where I am, and need to take care of your wife in the men's room or women's, I understand and it won't be a problem for me and shouldn't be for anyone else.
