It's my understanding that these systems operate by engaging to trailer brakes in response to sway. I wonder if that causes any premature trailer brake wear?

I think borrowing for luxury items is the very definition of "living beyond your means".

I can't imagine why anyone would finance an RV for more than about 30 minutes. Save your money and pay cash.

10K bars? Are you sure they aren't 1,000 pound bars? Never saw a hitch with 10K bars. :)

Brain fart usually. Distraction maybe. Doubt anybody would do it on purpose. It happens all the time. I've heard of many who allow the tank to overflow up the toilet onto the floor.

I do no boondocking. Except at college football games where generators run 24/7. One battery is all I have ever needed.

A 6.5' slide topper is about $225 on Amazon. If you can install it yourself you can save a good bit of money. Depends on your skill level. I installed mine (100") in about 2 hours.

I can't imagine why you would have to remove the spring bars to back up. Especially if the hitch manufacturer says it's not necessary.

I did a cut and paste from page 26 of the Fastway owners...

I always tow with a full water tank. That's why I have an RV so I can be self contained. I know some folks don't. I suppose because their tow vehicle is not up to the task. I've also heard folks...

If one was to fill first and then overflow into the second you would need a valve system to empty both tanks using the water pump. All I've ever seen had the two tanks connected at the bottom so...

Yeah, many people think it's like your home septic tank but it's not. It's basically a 5 gallon bucket full of you know. Just bigger than 5 gallons.

I wouldn't do either. Just keep the tank closed until almost full and use a nearly full toilet bowl of water with each "solid" flush.
