Linda and I got married 5/18/2020 and we are still trying for an appointment with DMV to change her last name!
last year 2020 we went to Texas in june, got our license the same day, and got our RV and car changed the next day,, then went on the North Carolina to visit,,

I got mine at escapees in Texas, and I got my CCW from Arizona through the mail, years ago

found a FMCA plaque, # 483576 in Tucson, just incase you are still around

thanks, good reasoning,,,,

having trouble on the road from NE. to NV. trying to find a place to work on my seneca was really hard, every place I called and was on the freightliner web site, did not work on motor homes, so if someone says that anyplace that works on freightliner will work on your freightliner motorhome, please correct them, from TA's to Petro, to Flying J's, nope not one would have anything to do with our coach, would not ever sell me tires
-
well I thought I did specify a seneca, Cummings engine, it is a 2018, and the rear tires are not coming off the ground, I figured they were the park axle
-
With the Seneca it drives dam good, and compared to the coachman we had, it drives like a Mercedes comparatively, to a Volkswagen, of coarse anything could be better 👍
-
Does anyone use chocks for the back wheels to keep the coach from moving when it comes off the leveling jacks, mine makes all kinds of racket because there is no air in the e brake tank to keep it stable and not move, thanks

WELL IT COMING,

they closed the forum for a while, I thought that is what I pay a yearly fee for, to keep up and to ask questions to people who might have a answer for info or problems I might have, at least that is why I joined -
mainly because that is why they are pushing electric vehicles, to be so called carbon free, why else, and affordable is neither here nor there, some companies said they will be totally electric by a certain date, with the controlling party telling them this is the rule, no matter how affordable they are, you will never see them made totally without oil, either in manufacturing or usage,

very true, it is a great thought, but quite impossible,
-
to me, charging a vehicle using the same products they are trying to get away from is a little ludicrous, everything that turns uses oil, from wind mills, to electric driven motors, for me I will use oil till they find a way not to charge with it or create power with out it
-
I guess if your OK with it, that is your right,
-
no one said it had to be taken over by the feds, just like the drivers license, the feds also have some control over everything

Trailer Brakes_
In California, brakes are required on any trailer coach or camp trailer having a gross weight of 1500 lbs. or more. Usually the braking capacity on tow vehicles is good; however, it may not be good enough to safely stop the several hundred to several thousand additional pounds that your trailer weighs. Most conventional and fifth-wheel trailers have electric brakes, activated by a controller in the tow vehicle. The controller automatically coordinates the tow vehicle and trailer braking so the two systems work together when the brake pedal is applied.
The controller can also be helpful in stabilizing a trailer that sways because of bad road conditions. Manually applying the trailer brakes by using the hand lever on the controller will stabilize a trailer that is likely to sway.
Folding camp trailers and boat trailers are usually fitted with surge brake systems which operate separately from the tow vehicle's brakes.
Surge brakes are applied by a mechanism attached to the receiver/ball connection. As the tow vehicle slows, the forward motion of the trailer compresses the mechanism which in turn applies the trailer brakes.
Motorcycle trailers do not need brakes unless the weight exceeds 1500 pounds gross. If you install brakes on your motorcycle trailer, be sure the brakes do not brake harder than the motorcycle or the motorcycle may flip backwards over the trailer when the brakes are applied. The brakes must always be properly adjusted.
Maybe you should re-read the laws concerning trailers and motorcycle trailers in California, the link provided above is from the California DMV, you can do your own search or follow the link above, it states motorcycle trailers do not need brakes unless gross weight exceeds 1500#. I'm not trying to argumentative, only pointing out that different states have different rules concerning these type of situations. If you live in California, you should know the law, but it is hard to contradict the rules that are stated in your own states DMV publications regarding these circumstances.
You may never be stopped or checked, but in the event of an accident you should know that your insurance carrier may refuse to pay a claim if you are not in compliance with the laws in the state that you are operating within. Good luck, when in doubt, check it out.
maybe not, that is not all from dmv, but since I took my trailer and car to dmv, and to the chp and had them ok the trailer, and since they sell trailers for this purpose, I will agree to disagree
CALIFORNIA
Every trailer and semitrailer manufactured after 1940 with a GVW of 6,000 lbs. or more and operated at a speed of 20 mph or more must be equipped with brakes; trailers and semitrailers built after 1966 and with a GVW of 3,000 lbs. or more must have brakes on at least 2 wheels; every trailer or semitrailer built after 1982 and equipped with air brakes must be equipped with brakes on all wheels.
Every trailer coach or camp trailer with a GVW of 1,500 lbs. or more must be equipped with brakes on at least 2 wheels.

not true, california is 3000, I live here and have checked it out, and tow my smart on a motorcycle trailer the is rated for 3500 lbs, but has a weight limit of 2950, so I guess it is not totally wrong, my smart car weighs 1800 lbs, and the trailer is 600lbs
