RE: Emergency Roadside Service

I have had both Good Sam and Coach Net and they are both the best out there, especially for RV's. AAA, I have heard so much negative comments on them, I would not give them my business.

RE: Black Friday "wally-docking"

I boondock at WM's when I'm on the road, but I will definitely not be going shopping anyplace on this Friday. In fact, my goal this year is to improve on last year's record of doing 90% of my holiday shopping online.
But I do love taking the RV when I go on a major shopping expedition. In addition to the obvious advantages of unlimited storage capacity and handy clean toilet facilities, there's nothing better than taking a serious mid-day break that involves putting your feet up and truly relaxing. Maybe even a nap! Plus, if the day's agenda includes grocery shopping, we don't have to strategize and do it last as we would when running errands in a regular car, since there's a fridge on board. And finally: It's always easy to find, no matter how packed the lot gets.
Now this is just good logic. Never occurred to me.

RE: Cleaning Suggestions for the "Gritty" Patch on the Stairs?

I for one do not suggest using carpet on the entry steps. They hold water and will rust your steps in a very short time. Also when they are wet you track the water in the coach.

RE: Cleaning Suggestions for the "Gritty" Patch on the Stairs?

What is the best way to clean the rough, gritty patch (and what is it technically called?) that's commonly attached to the surface of the retractable steps on an RV?
Ours is stained with an oily dirt and it would be nice if there was a way to clean it up and make it nice and black again. Would you use a nice stiff brush? What solvent or cleaning solution would you use? I was thinking of using something like WD40 or something similar.
Thanks.
I use tire cleaner, it really does a good job and does not have to be scrubbed. Spray and let it work, flush off.

RE: family road trip

The Great Lakes is a very large area. I would suggest the Great Lakes Museum at Vermilion Ohio as just one stop. About half way between Cleveland and Sandusky.

RE: Adding light to bay

I sure would consider putting in some LED battery operated lights. As the O/P said, for no more than you use them, why go to the hassell of wiring?

RE: Looking for leather punch

O/P beat me to it, but Harbor Freight is your best bet. Although any hardware store will have them as will some sewing centers.

RE: RV Manufacturer Getting Ready To Start Hiring

An all American industry getting back up on it feet again, that is good news. You don't see a lot of "Made in -----" on anything connected to an RV.

RE: Getting the runaround at Camping World

Mr. Lemonis seems to mean what he says. Now if he could just get some decent management, which had better happen pretty quick. JC Whitney is really getting into the RV supply side.

RE: Electrical Question

12V to the antenna from the booster is just the way they have the antenna wired so it will work in all configurations. I would not count on a big inverter plugged into a cigarette lighter. Larger inverters should be hard wired.

RE: Leave the fridge on or turn it off?

Every thing electrical has just so many hours that it will last. Why run something you are not using. Turn it off, open the doors a bit to keep air moving. Forget about it.

RE: Have you seen my Television?

Doesn't your own insurance company cover your loss? Theft is theft. Aside of that, I agree with the O/P's; name the dealer if he doesn't step up to the plate. He doesn't respect his customers and their property.

RE: Thank You, Father

"Ok how does this have anything to do with General RVing? I think there is a forum for non RV specific topics".

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? Do you think he only served in certain areas and at specific times. My appreciation go out to him in this forum.

RE: Customer Relations at Sunnybrook RV

It may be that Jeff is wearing 10 different hats with all the cut backs. The receptionist is instructed to screen his calls, so that only those that require his personal participation are patched through to him. This allows him to be far more productive every day. Been there done that.

RE: Something's digging under my tires

I had one those little buggers dig down around my electric service post nearly every night. I would cover it up every day and he would be back every night. I was afraid he would cause a short in the underground wiring. I put a box of moth balls in the fresh dirt, he didn't come back.

RE: Roof repair

RADAR has a good resolution. There is a Rhino Liner dealer not far from me that does roofs and underbellies of RV's on a regular basis. He has it in white for the roof.

RE: New/Old Goodyear G670 RV Motorhome Tires

3 months ago I shopped for tires and also picked Good Year for the replacements. I told the dealer I wanted fresh tires. Dealer had 6 in stock but they were already nearly 3 years old. I refused them and the dealer ordered in fresh tires from his distributor. The big point here is risk of life and consequential damages which the tire manufacturer is not going to cover. Tire warranties suck any way. I replaced 6 Michelin's that had only 3600 miles on them, but they were horribly weather checked. Michelin would not stand behind them. Tires were covered in storage. Dealer told me Michelin has a problem with weather checking. He sells their line also.
