      Alfred Wainwright, a British hiker, observed that there's no such thing as bad weather, just poor choice of clothing. When winds get above about 40 mph, though, the weather is a little bit bad.

    Thanks for sharing Robert! I always liked rain, no matter where I was in the country, but it can be hell to drive through, especially towing a trailer. South Florida is one of the few regions I haven't made it to yet (diving the Keys is on my list), so I'm realky enjoying this video. Cheers!

  • @paulchen117
    @paulchen117 4 года назад

    Yo Rob, small trailer like yours, less than 20' long, you don't need the anti-sway/weight distribution. Less extra steps to setup and take down. Of course, if your truck is a half-ton or higher, that would be even better. Just a thought.
    I am looking at one like yours, 1708FB without a slide, but it has east-west bed. I prefer north-south walk-around bed, but it comes with a slide and 2' longer (2106FBS). Tough choice.

    Robert, you should try out what they call a “Zero-G” water hose, we use it on our RV. Never kinks, no struggling to coil it up like with the standard rubber hoses. They are blue as well so easy to identify as a drinking water only hose. I think it would make a nice addition to your new filtration setup. They are on Amazon for about $29 i think.

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  4 года назад +3

      Being in the intercoastal I guess would give them some protection from the worst of a storm surge, but I would build on stilts like they do in the Florida Keys and the Florida Panhandle coast.

      @pattiwhite9575 4 года назад

      This looks like a old school little place. And yes, it will flood. It has probably flooded many times during a hurricane. Living on the Gulf of Mexico can be an adventure. You prepare and plan for the storms. Board up and secure everything and get out of Dodge before the big ones. It is charming.
