RE: fuel filler hose cost??
You said to get it 'replaced'. You realize they charge around $100 (+-) per hour with a minimum of one hour in most shops don't you. Not saying that is right for customer service, just the way most do business.

RE: Air Ride
Ours tops out at about 105 or a bit more. When the system 'spits' it has reached potential. I can get going when I do my last walk-around the the wheel wells are above the tops of the tires by a couple of inches

RE: Custer SP Resort
That is for the concessionaire that runs the lodges etc. If you work for the park itself, there is a different price. It has been 4 years since we worked there, but the price they quoted is ridiculous. Call the park office and see what an employee pays at the employee CG off Game Loop or at Sun City and at the employee sites at the CGs in the park as well. Maybe talk with Craig Pugsley or Lance Catron

RE: What do you do in a tornado warning when in the RV?
We were in Amarillo one year and had just pulled in and checking in when a warning was announced. The guy at the desk told us where our site was and said it would be the safest place if we all went to the shower house. We got hooked up and waited for a siren - none came. I checked the shower house and looked at the RVs in the park. Averaging 2 people for each unit, that would have been one tight accomodation. I hope there was another some place because there was really no where near enough space for everyone in a concrete block building.

RE: The elephant behind the palm tree...
I have never been bothered by someone asking about the mileage the coach get. Folks do it here all the time. My usual answer is an honest, 'it depends on how fast you want to get there'. Then we discuss how much mileage one should expect when driving a small house down the interstate at 70 MPH.
Expecting rude or nasty comments usually results in your first answer being rude. As someone said earlier, a simple civil comment and a smile results in a pleasant encounter.
Now, we usually travel in the South and West. I have had some rather rude comments from the northern states while driving in a car. Boston had a cabby yelling at me when I simply was asking for directions. Oh well, he was probably having a bad day to begin with

RE: Coral Hospitality will take over 5 Georgia State Parks
I really had heard nothing about this. I have always wondered how a private company could operate at a profit and a state park (with many volunteers) could not at least do the same thing.

RE: Need advice for a first time MH renter in the Atlanta area
I know that Lightning RV in Lawrenceville rents Cs and As. Whether or not they are a 'good company' I cannot say. They were very nice when I dealt with them a few years back when they actually sold campers. They are right on 316 just about 1/4 mile south of Ga 20
A good shake down might be up around Lake Lanier or Lake Hartwell. If you find you can handle it ok, then maybe Dillard Ga at River Vista

RE: Campgrounds Custer, SD
there is only one dump station in the CSP and that is at Gamelodge at the east end of the park. Take that into consideration if you plan to stay there longer than a couple of days. Same caustion with water. There is water in all the CGs, but not at sites, mostly at the shower house or maybe a central location someplace in the CG. We hosted two years at Stockade N and S and there has been some improvements made since we were there last but they really need to add a dump station on the west side of the park. We love the park and have a lot of friends there.
If we were visting the area this year for more than a few days, we would stay in a privately owned park outside CSP and do our visting with friends by driving in.
There are a number of adequate CGs in and around Custer city that will have FHUs if you need or want them.

RE: How much to budget for RV repairs ?
Real friendly sort huh? But we have spent zero dollars on repairs since buying new in '08. Depending on where service is done, it varies from 2-5 hundred on fluids and filters. We we likely replace tires this year and that will run about 500 per tire if I shop. Winterizing usually takes about 3 gallons at about $3.50 at Tractor Supply. Washing at Blue Beacon is about 40 dollars with a 10 dollar tip.

RE: Lake Ridge RV Resort in Hillsville, VA
Looking at Google Earth and see nothing but open fields at that address. I copied it directly from the website. Is there something like a north or south or east/west on the address also?

RE: AUX battery start switch engages but no juice ...
Rainbirds has the right idea. A single wire from the house batteries to the chassis batteries will let both sets charge. They both have a common ground - the chassis frame. Just remember you are drawing power from both sets of batteries when you are not hooked to 110 power and that an extended stay can run both sets down. Good idea to have a set of jumper cables to allow them to charge with the towed engine running for a few minutes.

RE: diesel motorhome tires
We had one about the same age or a bit younger - also Michelin - that blew out just as we pulled off I-20 to a FlyingJ for fuel. Apparently the Michelins do not weather well. There were the tiny cracks as you describe in 5 of them and a really wide and long one in the 6th. ;)

RE: Helen ga
Suggest you look into River Bend CG just off the Helen-Hiawassee road. Great place to spends a week or two exploring the area.

RE: Water at Rally ?
Only going by what the books ( for our RV ) says to do. A what the difference are. Like I said we are totally new to RVing. Just got off the phone with Good Sams regarding the Rally. They will have water delivery and Honey Wagon ( had to laugh at the name) Aprrox $ 25.00 but suggest to come in with fill water and other tanks empty.
Suggest you make sure the deliveries are in separate trucks. :W :B

RE: 2013 Wrangler Unlimited owners are you Happy or Not?
Had an '08 Wrangler Unlimited and it sucked eggs on starters. I replaced one and when that one went out it was traded for a new Unlimited Sahara. Like the driving and riding but the milage is not so hot. '13 has all the bells and whistles and the Penta-something engine. It seems to be fine and we will know more when summer weather gets here and we can get up to the mountains more.
