RE: Navistar RV is gone.......Hello new owners

I think what it really is about is buying out the competition, so they are no longer competing. Long term expect to see a single product line with different badging and slightly different features and paint - just like what we have seen with GM in the 80s and 90s.
The original Monaco was doing the very same thing with the Monacos, HRs, and Safaris. Monaco basically used the same unit and slightly changed the front and rear caps on each brand.

RE: Allies Specialty Vehicles Buys Monaco Corp Today

Maybe they just know they have already lost all of the current owners.
...and some former owners like me.

RE: New invention could benefit RVers.

It makes me wonder why designers went to such a flat, boxy front on class A's.
Miles
Easier and cheaper to build, and yields more usable interior space.
We may see more aerodynamic designs in the RV industry if the government starts requiring more fuel efficient RVs. I won't be surprised if truck makers in the near future start rolling out hybrid chassis that can be used for buses and RVs.

RE: Oil change in Boulder City area

I used Ford Country in nearby Henderson for an oil change on my Ford chassis moho when I was in Boulder City last November. Great service and reasonable price.

RE: Misleading avertising/ignorant sales people

I'm still looking at ideas. It's "generally accepted" that Saturns can be flat towed without any mods. Can anyone confirm that the blanket statement also applies to the bigger L model? The LW wagon with the 3-liter V6 would make a damn good family (me, DW and two Labs) vehicle and, if it can be flat towed as delivered, it would be ideal, provided I can convince DW that buying a used car whose manufacturer has gone out of business isn't a dumb idea.
Comments appreciated.
You may want to look into a Saturn Vue. I have been towing my 2005 V-6 AWD Saturn Vue with an automatic tranny for 8 years. BTW, the 6 cylinder engines in the Vues are Honda engines. The 2005 model also has a Honda tranny.

RE: RV shopping.....loss of deposit?!

...a prep probably costs them several hundred dollars in material and labor...
If you believe dealers spend hundreds of dollars prepping an RV, I have some oceanfront property in AZ for sale dirt cheap.

RE: Jayco, what does the dealer know that I don't know?

"So he said if I bought a trailer elsewhere and went to him for warranty he would charge me the difference that warranty didn't pay."
Nothing more than fear mongering sales tactics mixed in with some homegrown dishonesty.

RE: Readybrake may not be an option. What to do..

Get a BrakeBuddy. It'll work on both cars without having to do any alterations on the vehicles.

RE: Generator

It's good enough to charge your batteries and for watching TV and using a computer. You won't be able to use your microwave, coffee maker or a hair blow dryer.

RE: Extended warranty

Ask for a copy of the service agreement. Take it home and read it carefully, specially the exclusions. You will probably opt to keep the $2K in your pocket. Good luck!

RE: Camping World refuses to honor Replacment Plan

"...or, at Our sole discretion, reimburse You for replacement of the product"
Reimbursement for a replacement isn't the same as refunding the buyer the cost of the unit. In this particular case, since the unit is no longer made, he should be reimbursed for the cost of acquiring a similar unit. Either way, CW weaseled out, in my opinion.

RE: Camping World refuses to honor Replacment Plan

Am I the one here with poor reading comprehension? I didn't see where the OP stated the warranty gave CW the option to refund the cost of the unit instead of replacing it with a similar one.
I also find it very insulting on the part of CW not to refund the OP for the cost of the warranty when the company didn't even bother honoring the warranty claim.

RE: Can anyone access the Sunnybrook web site?

I think is just a website glitch. I was looking for info on a new SunnyBrook travel trailer that I saw on the internet.

RE: Camping World refuses to honor Replacment Plan

The OP got jerked around by CW.
What is so hard to understand about "The warranty terms clearly spell out the unit is to be replaced with a current unit of similar features at CWs discretion."? If the same unit is no longer available, CW is obligated to replace it with another unit with similar features, regardless of much a similar unit costs.

RE: Debit or Credit Card?

No financial advisor needed. This is a no brainer if you pay off your credit card balances in full when you get the bills. You can't even get 1% return on a CD nowadays. A debit card will only get you a giant sucking sound as your money is taken out of your account the minute you make a purchase.
