RE: Class C - Towing Mini Cooper
Hold me, I'm scared...
We're planning a trip (from MN) to the Black Hills of South Dakota for 8 days. I have never pulled a "toad" before. The RV is a '01 32' Class C, and my car is a '11 R57.
I have some options, based upon my assumptions:
1. Tow Dolly
Advantages:
• Lighter
• Less expensive to rent.
• Shorter overall length
• Easier to stash at campsites.
Disadvantages:
• My poor MINI may be at greater risk of potholes and road debris.
• Pretty much impossible to back up. (If I care)
2. Car Trailer
Advantages:
• Car is "safer" (especially on mountain roads)
• No messing with aux lights.
• I could back up if needed.
Disadvantages:
• Longer overall length
• More expensive to rent
• A challenge to park at campsites.

RE: Class C - Towing Mini Cooper
I'm about to head to the Badlands this summer and I'm going to (try to) to my '11 R57 for the first time. Leaning towards renting a good dolly.
I'm nervous as hell about hurting her.

RE: Tip for owners of older RV's
I've been scanning and saving manuals, notes and relevant pictures for RV maintenance in a dedicated notebook in Evernote. Then, I can access/edit it on any device.

RE: strange phone calls
If you answer the scammers and interact with them IN ANY WAY*, you at a minimum have confirmed that yours is a live number. While this particular scam may not have bitten you today, they get ancillary value off list-scrubbing for numbers that have real people on the other end and selling that data to other scammers.
2oldman's advice to just not pick up unidentified numbers is best.
*Telling scammers who are already violating the DNC (or other laws) does nothing but confirm your live status. They care nothing about laws.

RE: Mall of the Americas
Carriage Hill was the horse park, but it's homes now. The advice above is spot-on.

RE: DW won't drive
My DW is concerned that she, at 4' 11", won't be able to reach the pedals. She has yet to try. :-/

RE: Looking for RV campground input near Mall of America
I'd add that Lebanon Hills is right near the very nice Minnesota Zoo. I've actually parked my class C at the zoo a few times.

RE: Drove with the antenna up!
I have the JACK HDTV RV antenna; its performance is amazing.
You may want to read the reviews posted on amazon.com
Ditto. I just can't be trusted to consistently crank down the antenna, so I got a Jack. Love it.

RE: IPhone 5 Roaming Settings
Right.
Happytraveler, it'd be highly improbable that you'd have any plan with ATT that wasn't considered a nation-wide plan. In other words, no matter where you are in the United States, usage charges are the same. (You have the same voice minutes; the same monthly data cap; the same text allotment.)
Killing the data-roaming, as Smax wisely suggests, is still not a bad idea just in case you venture too close to, say, Canada and unknowingly start slurping data of Canadian towers.

RE: Cab over seam leak
Silicone is NOT your friend when it comes to RVs. Get that stuff off as soon as is practicable and go with some Dicor and/or Eternabond.

Galley TV in Coachmen 319DS - practical?
I'm kind of liking the Coachmen 391DS lately. But, i'm curious about this Pop-up Electric Lift TV in the galley. (See pic below) It seems to me like a busy kitchen, with all the food/liquids, doesn't mix well with electronics. Yet, there it is.

Does anybody have any better informed opinions than I do? Experience?
Thanks, crew! :)

RE: Bought the wrong motorhome!!!
I still don't understand the problem here. The RV is too big? It's too small? You're all over the map.

RE: Electrical Current Emanating From Coach
Open ground. Your rig is unable to shed the extra potential from acting like a big inductor.
No, really. Your RV is not grounded to the shore post. Cheap 30-15a adapter?

RE: Diesel or Gas???
Only 93 posts when I search "Diesel or Gas"
When I search "Gas or Diesel" I find 292 posts.
Under 35'...gas. Over 38'...diesel. If you have to worry about MPG... stay on the porch.
This is the correct response... the one that should just shut down this post. ;)
