Nope, you can leave them out. 🙂
Good discussion starter! I’m in a similar boat. Not full-time, but I work remotely every vacation (to my wife’s dismay). We have plenty of downtime camping so I work during those times, typically when everybody is outside, that way I can set up at the dining table and get some work done.
A good wifi connection can be an issue. WIFI is something I look for when booking a campground but you can never rely on it. Starlink is by far the best when it comes to getting overall great coverage across the country (as of right now), so it’s well worth it if you have to work on the road.
I work form home when not RV’ing so working outside the office has never been an issue for me. But I know others say they couldn’t do it, they feel isolated, lonely, etc. Its not for everybody.

If it’s under warranty you might be able to get it replaced.
Very true… unfortunately
A strict 10-year rule isn’t common, however, I’ve stayed at quite a few that just want to know if your RV is well-maintained before letting you book a spot. Some RVers hate this rule, others appreciate it. And no, I wouldn’t worry about having to trade your RV in at the 10-year mark 🙂
I’m not sure of any legalities, but I’d recommend not storing extra tanks in a fully enclosed space. Id your tow vehicle is a truck you could put it in the bed or convert the single tank holder on the front of your TT to a dual tank holder. But like mentioned, it’s not hard to find propane wherever you camp.
It really depends, as the rules and regulations vary by state and specific rest area. Some states allow it for a limited time (8 hours, for example), while others strictly prohibit it. I would research by state and have a backup plan. Here’s a list of stores that do and do not allow overnight parking if you need a backup: https://camperfaqs.com/what-stores-allow-overnight-rv-parking
If you are referring to a mounted ASME tank, which it sounds like, then you don’t have to get it recertified. Only DOT portable tanks require recertification.
If we’re not using it, it’s retracted. If we are using it and the wind noticeably starts to pick up, it gets retracted. I’ve had too many get ruined due to wind to risk it anymore.
Welcome to the forums! No need to apologize. It’s a great question. The extra details help too. In your case I would say to just let the faucets run longer. It can take a while. Report back if that doesn’t help.
😂 I dont think Id ever going camping if the campground looked like that!
No, you can’t “reset” the sensors. Most likely, they are dirty and just need to be cleaned off. This is a super common issue.
Here is a link explaining exactly how to clean out your black tank step-by-step and maintain it to keep the sensors clean and prevent it from ever clogging: https://camperfaqs.com/how-to-clean-out-rv-black-water-tank
You have options – child locks, tie the handles together with velcro strips or adjustable bands, use the “Fridge Fixer,” etc. Just keep in mind you don’t want to use something that will damage your fridge or void the warranty. I cover a bunch of ways here, plus a few important considerations: https://camperfaqs.com/how-to-keep-an-rv-refrigerator-door-closed-while-traveling
Agreed, go with a surge protector with EPO or EMS. They might cost more, but its extra insurance.
It’s a must-have! And Watchdogs are great. I have the Progressive Industries EMS, but the Bluetooth feature on that Watchdog is a nice feature. I also prefer the hardwired version as opposed to the portable version. One less thing to do (and forget) during setup and it’s way less likely to be stolen.
