RE: Good Sam Club’s 2013 RV Rally Syracuse, New York
Looks like a small crowd for this big event. :B
We are going and know about 8 other couples from 2 different camping clubs who are also signed up. Why do you think it is a small crowd? Did you read about the number of registrations somewhere?
I have not. More of a comment of how little traffic any of the forum topics are getting.
I sure hope it's a big crowd - makes more fun for everyone!

RE: The Rally in Syracuse
We camped there years ago at an RV show. Going by memory here - and I am getting older - I thought the spots were actually pretty decent sized.
I'm sure this will be a case of how many people attend vs how much room is available. It is a pretty big location so I'm not concerned.

"Smoke" will rise again!!!
He needs to do something. He's been acting like a little baby lately. Maybe he's frustrated Danica is beating him 1/2 the time. :B
Maybe he's frustrated that she got a divorce and immediately got another boyfriend! :B
That wasn't him! :B

RE: Annual Spring Gathering @Turning Stone, May 17-19th, 2013
Not us, one of the best times EVER at a race. The little kids on the track sure did though. Nelson Piquet sure showed what a classless jerk he is, and I'm not sure what's up with Stewart this year. Apparently he forgot racers are supposed to race, and its showing in this finishes.

RE: Gettysburg spring friendship gathering May 17, 18, 19, 2013
We signed up for the Syracuse Rally. Too close to home to miss that one, and with fuel projected to hit $5.00 close to home sounds good.

RE: Decision time: tow a Fit or Focus?
'Tis one of the reasons we marked the Focus off of our list of possible future toads, and much prefer the Ford Fusion hybrid as our next toad, whenever that time may come. Ford's hybrids are great for 4 down towing - No need to start and run for 5 minutes every so often, no need to pull any fuses or battery connections, none of that mess. Just hitch up, put it in neutral and go. Thats what I want for our next vehicle. :)
And get 42 MPG when you're not towing. I don't own one, I kow a few people who do - that seems to be a pretty common number on the MPG. Ford is doing a lot of things right.

RE: Newmar build quality
We're on our 3rd Newmar, all bought new. If we were buying again today it would be another Newmar. People oftern talk about "all the normal problems of a new motorhome". I can honestly say we have had virtually none.
You asked about Winnies. While many people love their Winnies I've seen far too many with delamination problems - something a newmar could never do as it's not laminate construction.
I currently have a Winnie in storage, delaminated, waiting to get it's roof fixed...again. It may be fiberglass, but it's sure not quality. Of course, thats just mt opinion, but it's opinion devoloped by looking at facts.

RE: 8th Annual Fall Friendship Gathering October 5 - 8 2012
just wondering if anyone ended up with an extra folding camp chair?
Yep - a purple one.
I left it out as long as I could, finally rescued it before we left.

Drill a small hole at the end of the tear to help keep it from tearing any more.

RE: Opinions on newmar Dutch Star vs.Entegra Aspire
If Comfort Drive was so amazing why don't other motor home makers offer it?
Ive often wondered the same thing.
The biggest reason of the all - money.
At first Newmar had an exclusive, and offered it only on the higher end diesels. In 2008 they brought it to the full diesel line. The former Fleetwood and Monaco had plans to offer it on their higher end rigs; American line for Fleetwood and Septor (maybe?) on up at Monaco. Both companies went under, neither of the new owners offer it today.
It used to be in the full Newmar DP line; today it's not on entry level Vantena LE. Did they drop it off the Vantena LE because it was bad, or is it a cost issue? Easy answer.
The other reason it's not widely used is because it's not widely known, so the market isn't demanding it yet. Look at the people asking the question; they haven't tried it but they just know don't want it. I remember a lot of people saying the same thing about slides too. Why on earth would a company spend the extra $$$ if customers aren't demanding it? What they don't know won't hurt them, right?
Ask a Newmar owner what they think of Comfort Drive. I know I don't want another MH without it.

RE: Opinions on newmar Dutch Star vs.Entegra Aspire
I think you'll find the Dutch Star would also be a 43'er, I don't think there was a 40' tag available. There were some mis-printed brochures, so be sure to confirm.
Both are excellent choices, only one has Comfort Drive. That would be enough to sway me to the Newmar. I simply cannot overstate what a game changer Comfort Drive is.
deleted first post. I looked it up and understand what it aids
I would not buy one based on that alone as my spartan chassis AB steers just like a car and has no steering wander and self returns
Ours is a Spartan chassis with Comfort Drive. When we bought this MH we were able to do a back-to-back test drive of 2 basically identical units. The difference is amazing.
Put 2-3000 miles on one with it and you wont want one without it. It really is amazing.
