AirForums Contentious Topics - A Top 10 List

As members of this Forum, we've all come across topics which can get quite contentious. Oftentimes, it simply comes down to personal opinion, but still, the debates can get quite heated, and sometimes humorous.

Here's a list that I've come up with.

1. Safety of Catalytic Heaters
2. Waste Disposal
3. Batteries, 6 volt VS 12 volt
4. WBCCI Policy
5. Running Gear

What topics am I missing?

I think it's a fine list, if you add guns and tires.
Other than that you're wrong.

What kind of special antenna do I need for HDTV? Or antennas in general. Wouldn't it be better to remove it and patch the hole?

The roof AC spoils the look of thing. Besides it never gets hot enough to need an AC anyway. (At least nowhere I've towed my 34 with a Geo Metro)

Refrigerator on gas while underway.

But in general this forum seems to have less bickering and grouchy posts than another big RV forum I can mention. And a little friendlier, cooperative, and helpful attitude.

Tires are the most fun. Followed closely by weight police threads in re CAN AM.

Cool You forgot a big one (or two)

Come on man! No Hensley hitches! You did mention tires but I need specifics: Goodyear Marathon vs. Maxxis.

I don't think my AC power is working. I don't get shocked when I stick my tongue in the wall socket. What do I do next?
