California Residents Increasingly Move into RVs Amid Housing Crisis
Original source: SlashGear

A growing number of California residents are opting to live in RVs due to unaffordable traditional housing. Some RV owners, referred to as 'vanlords,' charge high rents for often non-functional vehicles parked illegally and lacking basic amenities like sanitation and running water. Authorities are attempting to regulate the practice, while states including Hawaii and Indiana have banned RV living altogether.

RV living becomes a forced solution for many in California

Living in RVs has shifted from a symbol of freedom to a forced alternative for many California residents due to high rental costs. Monthly rent in some cities exceeds $2,000-$3,000, making RVs the only affordable option for workers with stable incomes. Authorities are debating parking regulations and access to basic services for these residents.

2025 Toyota Tundra owner reports trailer sway with Grand Design Imagine

A Georgia owner of a 2025 Toyota Tundra reported highway sway while towing a large Grand Design Imagine travel trailer, despite using a mechanical equalizer hitch. He sought advice from the 2023-2027 Toyota Tundra Owners Facebook group about upgrading to the Lippert CURT True Course electronic anti-sway system. The issue stems from the half-ton truck's coil-spring rear suspension lacking lateral stiffness and the passive nature of friction-based hitches, which cannot counteract sudden lateral forces from crosswinds or passing trucks.

Ford F-150: Towing 6,500-lb camper triggers limp mode in high-mileage EcoBoost engines

A Ford F-150 EcoBoost 2.7L V6 with 160,000 miles entered limp mode while towing a 6,500-lb Jayco camper. Three mechanics and a dealership found no fault after the P2099 code cleared when the ignition was cycled. The cause is condensation in the charge air cooler, which, during sudden acceleration on a grade, enters the combustion chambers, causing misfires and triggering a zero-boost limp mode.
