RE: Hello folks!
There areonly 2 of us when we travel most of the time. We just spent a week with only electric for a hookup. If we had anything smaller we would not have had the capacity for our showers that we enjoy. We don't use public showers or bathrooms. We saw a B today in a lot and thought how often we would have to refill and dump. You might have a small apartment but think how much smaller it would be in a Class B. There are even some very good buys on small class As. In my opinion a Class C is either going to have, has, or had a leak inthe bunk bed in the cabover. See how many people have water problems on their Cs. We have had TTs, popups, HiLo, 2 Cs and 2 As so this is our experience.

RE: Almost embarrassed to ask....
DW & I just spent an entire week at Algonac State Park in MI w/ electric only. We had a full tank of water to start and ended up with 1/4 at the end of the week. We got our showers for the ti9me and used all our own facilities. We do not use the CG public baths. We did not have to d up tanks or refill the water during the week. That is something you can't do with a 35 gal. fresh water tank and 15 gal of black & grey. That is the advantage of a larger MH.

RE: Almost embarrassed to ask....
Since you have had a boat I'd not rule out a class C. Much cheaper to maintain. Less storage of course.
and the overhead either has leaked, is leaking, or will leak. take your pick.

For once I agree 110% with Bumpy

RE: Winterization: wet or dry?
I gave up on the wet method. It was always a pain to get the valves set for bypassing the heater. With the dry method drain all water first and then I hook up the air compressor and let it fill the entire system with pressurized air (40 PSI). I tirn o one faucet at a time until it stops spitting and then go to the next. After doing this once I then do it a second time and pour a llittle pink stuff dow the traps. Don't forget the toilet and hose for rinsing the toilet. The outside shower should be the last to get done. It has worked for me on the last 3 MHs.

RE: why did you go with a Class C?
After a TT, popups, and a HiLo we got the first of our 2 C's. Next came 2 A's and we will never go back to a C. If you look at how many problems people have with the bed over the cab leaking and having expensive problems to repair that you will get what I mean. I have a few years left on my roof warranty on my '03 Newmar. It is made with Alumaframe construction so there is no wood to rot in the framing. The walls are not laminated so there is no delamination problem. Driving is much easier in an A. The cabover of a C blocks a lot of your view out the front when you are at a traffic light or trying to see something.

RE: Entering Canada at Niagra Falls for One Day
If you plan on taking the Maid of the Mist (recommended) it is a couple dollars less on the NY side. Same tour both ways. The ride down the river road to Niagara on the Lake is also a good trip. We were lucky last year. There are a few handicap parking spots across from the falls, in front of the Police Office. I was able to stay there and unload my scooter. You can take a scooter right on the Maid of the Mist. You can also hit the Fisher-Price museum in East Aurora, NY. You will get a totally different view of the falls from the State Park island on the NY side. 1 day might not be enough.

RE: 2002 Seabreeze Headlight
If you can find a number on the lens you can Google it and see what comes up. I called Newmar for mine and it was over $400 for a R. headlight. I kept looking and found it is also used on a '99 to '02 Grand Marquis and they are available at junk yards for $30.

RE: Brake Woes/ recall fix on Work Horse 22P
Have you flushed brake fluid like they told you to do on the recall? I had my recall done in 9-09 and have not had any problems since. The moisture buildup in the fluid will cause corrosion in the metal parts of the brakes. I have flushed my fluid 2 times since the recall. 3 weeks ago they said the fluid looked very clear yet but did use 1.5 L to flush the entire system. The previous one I did with my son on the driveway.

RE: Rpm for a 93 cummins powered Winnebago Adventurer
I think they were still making a 4 speed transmission in the early 90s with all mechanical controls. They were a lot less expensive to install.

RE: RV.Net Stickers, 2 pics, a story, a question....
Johnny Torres brought some T shirts to a rally in Frankenmuth, MI. a few years back. I think he was the one who had the stickers made. I never put stickers on anything so I didn't get one. I still haven't put my FMCA plaque on the MH and I have had it in the MH for a long time.

If you would use your cellphone once in a while the Govt. would know where you are and what you are doing. It would save a lot of time for the Govt. You kept that guy away from a big govt. party.

RE: Help with new engine decision
I had my '96 Pace Arrow recarpeted in the front and when he did the doghouse he removed all of the old pieces and saved them as a template for cutting the new exactly the same and putting it all in place. It looked like new when finished. Don't throw the pieces out and record where they went with a camera.

RE: Got the RV weighed - now trying to find tire pressure
Since you are over on the drive axle and way under on the tag you should find a way to get some additional weight shifted to the tag. Keep in mind that the tag was not from Ford, but was added by the coach builder to handle the extra weight. Whoever made the tag should have some way of adjusting the load it carries. Your drive axle is overweight right from the start. You pretty much have to keep max. pressure in all the tires. Depending on where your fresh water tanks are located you can save 8.3# for each gallon you do not carry while driving. Most CGs have water available when you get there. Travelling with 25 gal. will give you about 400# of weight that can be carried by something else. (clothes, food, etc). You are not alone. Many RVs were built overloaded back then and some are even close today. I remember an article on a Bounder from way back where they said with all the storage capability and the weight capacity left after fuel and passengers, that all you could carry was a lod of ping pong balls. Some great? news is that the fuel tank won't stay full very long.

RE: Acceptable Delivery Miles
The chassis may have been built somewhere and delivered to the IN. factory. I have seen bare chassis being driven. The warranty didn't start until you took posession.

RE: Fleetwood Daul Pane Windows, Good or Bad
I think you are finding the single pane windows on the lower cost MHs. They do cost more initially. SEGI was the company that made the most troublesome windows. Once you have the dual pane you will not want to go back. The soundproofing and temperature insulation make it worth a potential problem. Mine are 11 years old this year and never a problem but they are not SEGI.

RE: Bedroom closet pole
All vents on RVs are 14X14 whether power or not. Fantastic Vent says to not use a cover on their power vent. I have had a cover over my bathroom vent since I got the MH. At a rally we had 13 fans installed in various coaches and one of the fellows who came and helped the installer was a VP for Fantastic at that time. He put the cover back on and said their only concern was that some cut down air flow and people are disappointed then. Getting their lowest cost 3 speed fan has been great. Low speed will pull the door shut, medium will create a draft and High is for emergency use only. We rarely close the cover on that fan. The kitchen one has temp control and rain sensor so that one we don't worry about.

RE: 12-13k Budget For Motorhome
Newmar was the first manufacturer that came out with production slides in 1990 so you stand a chance of getting a slide that way as well as a well constructed MH.
