Water damage in travel trailers results from either an internal or external source. Leaks from the outside are intermittent depending on precipitation, but a broken water pipe leaks every time the system is pressurized. Water systems in travel trailers are usually made from high-density polyethylene polymer -- usually called PEX piping -- or standard PVC pipe.
File for a Travel Visa
Many foreign countries require a visa in addition to your passport. You can apply for a visa at the nearest consulate of each country you plan to visit.
Travel by Ship Overseas
Traveling overseas is an adventure to which you can add excitement by going in an unconventional way, such as by ship. Several options exist for foreign travel by ship, including positioning cruises, which cruise lines use to get their ships from one cruising area to another. Many of these positioning cruises travel across the Atlantic Ocean from America to Europe without the stops of a traditional cruise. Another way to travel by ship is by freighter. Freighter ships, while they also carry cargo, provide a laid-back way to see the world.
Become a Travel Agent Without Paying Fees
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in May 2008 there were 105,300 travel agent jobs in the United States. Seventeen percent were individuals who were self-employed. Various states require self-employed travel agents to pay a registration fee while operating their businesses. You can look at this fee in the form of a tax meant to protect the interest of consumers and to keep track of who is operating a residential business. If you want to avoid paying this fee, you can either operate from a different state or work for an employer instead of being self-employed.
