RE: Has Anyone Used CarFax for a Class C Purchase?
You all are welcome to your opinions about CarFax but my question was about whether or not it was available on a class C. I have found it useful on previous car purchases especially in discovering a title trail.
According to the Carfax.com website, they do not have information on RV's, motorcycles or cars built before 1981. I suppose you could plug in the VIN number and see if it would take it as a "truck". No harm done but probably won't work.

RE: How Much Stuff Do You Bring for a Weekend Trip?
Wouldn't it be easier to just jack up the house and put a dolly under it and tow it to the campground? It continues to amaze me all the stuff that people bring with them while "camping". Guess I'm just too lazy to haul everything I own around.

RE: Water on Awning???
I know they are meant for sun not water but does anyone have any tricks or what do you all do? Thank you
Seems you have the wrong awning. Mine is indeed meant for rain. We always sit under the awning in the rain. I honestly thought that is why it's there. It keeps everything under it dry. It goes out when we set up, and down when we break camp. Just tilt it to one end, Tie it down, check the tie downs every now and then, and your good.
BTW I carport ours. Meaning. I set the support legs on the ground
I forgot to mention as Terryallan above, I really enjoy sitting under the awning during a fairly light rain shower. It is very relaxing. However when the rain gets too heavy I go inside and push the button.

It all really depends on what kind of awning you have and hopefully your owners manual or manufacturer's website can address your question. I have a power awning on my Class C and it CANNOT be tilted. Also, mine has a sticker on the rail that says NOT to put it in the "carport" position. Obviously as stated above, some awnings DO allow this. By the way, I have personally seen an awning collapse during a heavy rain and it tore it completely off the trailer before it could be retracted. I would strongly suggest you try to get specific information on your brand of awning and go from there. I know they can be easily retracted by pushing a button, but if half the stuff you own and bring with you is under the awning it is a lot of trouble to move all the chairs, grills, TV's, bikes etc. That is why I keep my "patio" area with a minimum of stuff underneath it.

RE: New Scam RV's 4 Sale using US Military
As creative as some of these scammers are, you'd think they could get a real job somewhere. Wait a second - they already exist. They're called "RV salesmen".
Just kidding, couldn't resist.

RE: trial
Thanks for the suggestions. I will give them a try soon to see if I am more "technologically challenged" than I thought! Seems I am always asking more questions on these forums that I am answering, but maybe my questions will also help others like me. Thanks.

RE: Transporting Portable Waste Tanks
Not a lot of options. Either attached to the ladder or in the basement storage area. I personally put mine in the trunk of the toad and set it under my class C when arriving at the campground. Don't like the idea of hanging it on the ladder, and it takes up too much space in my basement so the trunk is an easy option for me. I suppose you could put it inside the Class C while traveling but I would never do that myself.

RE: My Anniversary
Just wanted to let you know this marks my 20th anniversary of giving up work---and I'm only 57.
I didn't start RVing until a couple of years later.
I guess that means you haven't retired, you just stopped working at 37 and you're still on the payroll??? Must be a government job like the one I had. Just kidding -kinda.

RE: Getting ready to buy a used Jayco 31FS
If you wire the money to THEIR BANK then what iron-clad guarantee do you have that they will use this money to pay off the loan on the RV? Once it is in their account they can do whatever they want with it. Also, how do you know for sure that they can make up the difference and pay off the loan even if they use your money? The ONLY safe way to do this is to go with them to the lienholder and see that they personally pay off the note and then have the title put in your name. If the lienholder is somewhere far away that may not be practical or even possible. Even if the sellers are honest people this is a risky proposition at best. As others have said the lienholder will NOT release the title until the note is paid in full.

RE: Vinyl molding
I have 2006 Jayco Granite Ridge 2900, the vinyl molding on ours comes loose at the turn where the Ford cutaway van cab meets the overhand above the cab. I've just been tucking it back in after every trip.
I have nowhere to tuck mine in. It is about a one inch wide vinyl strip that is taped over the seam where the back cap meets the sidewall. The vinyl strip has two very narrow strips of two sided tape which sticks it to the surface, but the tape has weathered and lost its "stickiness" so it comes loose easily. Looking for a solution to re-stick it that is better than the standard foam two sided tape which doesn't hold up and is too wide to begin with. I am going to order some of the Eternabond two sided tape and give it a try unless someone has a better suggestion.

RE: Vinyl molding
If I am not wrong, eternabond makes a double sided tape that should work just fine. It comes in different widths so it may be something you can use without having to cut it down. Go online and do a search on eternabond tape. It is pretty expensive compared to other stuff, but this stuff works great and will last a lifetime. Good luck
You're right, I checked and they do make different sizes of double sided tape. Looks like that may be a good solution. Thanks for the input.

Vinyl molding
Having a problem with the vinyl molding on my Jayco Granite Ridge coming loose. This is about 1 inch wide and covers the vertical seams near the rear of the unit. It seems to be attached with 2 narrow strips of double-sided foam tape. Anyone encountered this problem? Before I go to the camping store to look for this tape I would like to know how you handled it. I have seen this tape before at Lowe's etc. but I would have to cut it myself into very thin strips unless I get some "custom made" at the camping store. Don't know if any other kind of adhesive or caulk might work better.

RE: water heater
If you mean by removing the plug, I have never drained it!
I guess if you live in Florida you don't have to worry about winterizing it, but I still think it is a good idea to drain the water heater at least annually and wash out any "sediment" or other gunk that may have accumulated unless you use it all the time. If you use it frequently it will stay flushed out on its own. I think it would have to sit unused for a very long time to really cause a serious problem.

RE: '12 Aspect, bottom slides seals missing? (can see outside)
In addition to looking for another dealer, I would immediately contact the manufacturer about this. This is obviously a HUGE safety issue that must be corrected as soon as possible. What if the detector failed to warn her? Before it left the next dealership after they worked on it, I would make sure they tested it with the generator running to insure it was fixed. Let the manufacturer know about your problems with the unit and stay on top of it until it works like it's supposed to work. Let us know how it comes out, and thank you for your service.
