WA8YXM, I think it's that way in Indiana also.

RE: Lightning and PUP's
I think the probabilities of being hit by lightening are relevant only to the average situation. Standing under a tree during a thunderstorm increases your risks exponentially. Sitting in a tent-trailer probably isn't too far down the risk list from sitting under a tree, although the latter is probably better grounded.

RE: Lightning and PUP's
Somehow I get the impression that being "on" something with no protection beyond a fabric cover over you and a grounded, metal box under you would be the equivalent of sitting on top of a lightening rod.
Sounds like you made a wise decision.

RE: Day - Night Shades in Discovery
My wife and I spent three hours learning how to do that while camped at Thousands Trails in Clement, Florida last Christmas. We found the instructions on the Internet. When we were finished we jump in the towed and took off to meet family for dinner. About 100 yards from our parking space we passed an RV with a pickup parked in front covered with signs saying the owner repaired day-night shades.
Had I known he was camping there I wouldn't have wasted my time doing it myself. But my point is, it isn't hard to learn how and there are lots of folks out there who will do it for a fee. So don't fret.

RE: Monaco Rant
I found considerable improvements in the overall quality, engineering and workmanship between my 03 Camelot 38 and my 06 Camelot 42. The 06 is not perfect, but it is one heck of a lot better than the 03. I'm really glad we upgraded.

RE: Dynasty vs Camelot/Scepter
I have an 06 Camelot 42 and I was told it was among,if not, the last one(s) built in Indiana in November of 05. Rumor ( the mechanic say) Indiana didn't do as well on the workmanship.
I have no way to compare that, but overall, I'm happy with mine.

RE: Pet Restrictions
I have no beef with any camp's policies, although I do have problems when they are not clearly communicated. What I really have a problem with though are policies that are not enforced or where the management leaves enforcement up to the campers. Those are the camp I avoid or leave.

RE: Stolen Gas
I haven't been robbed, but I do have a very dumb setup on the security of the tank. Monaco put locks on both of the small access doors to the filler. However, the propane tank is in the same compartment as the fuel tank. Propane tanks must be accessible at all time so that bay cannot be locked. All you have to do is open the bay door and you have complete access to the fuel cap.

RE: Revenue Agent Searching for Montana llc's
I was wondering because I had heard last year that a couple of states were trying to get records from Montana and I think Texas was one of them. At that time Montana was not cooperating. If that story was true it's hard to imagine why Montana wouldn't want to cooperate. It doesn't sound like Montana gains a whole lot when a resident of another state registers a motorhome with an LLC set up in Montana.

RE: Revenue Agent Searching for Montana llc's
I get a big kick out of this subject for a lot of reasons. Foremost among them is my strong feelings about the Montana LLC issue. I also enjoy watching how debates of this length evolve and take on a life of their own. This particular thread is the most civil of all the previous ones on this subject that I can remember.
The overall level of diplomacy and maturity is commendable. I hope we can keep it alive a while longer.

Is the question about Montana law or is it about other states not enforcing their law?

RE: Revenue Agent Searching for Montana llc's
I like your attitude Aridon.
I was parked for a week beside a Dynasty with Montana plates on it, Michigan plates on the toad, and a painted legend under the RV's passenger door window that said "Susie and John, Grand Rapids, Michigan"(names changed to protect me).
Because I share your attitude about this sort of thing I never talked to them the entire week. It was the least I could do.

RE: Revenue Agent Searching for Montana llc's
why is it that a lot of big corporations incorporate in Delaware?
bumpy
I doubt that they are doing it to avoid paying sales tax.

RE: Revenue Agent Searching for Montana llc's
JALLEN4's post brings up a point I had never considered. Are those with the Montana LLCs who have loans claiming interest deductions on their income tax. If so are they doing it through the LLC or through their personal income tax return. If you can't deduct the interest it would be real hard to see how you would come out ahead as the interest, even on a shorter term loan, is a whole lot more than any state's sales tax.
But then again, I'm just asking.

RE: Florida to Big Bend NP - what's on the way?
I would suspect you have already done quite a bit of research on Big Bend by now. But I did want to address an earlier post about not much to see or do in Big Bend.
We’ve been twice, once in mid March and once over Thanksgiving and we had wonderful weather during both. Those are also the busy times of the year there, but you wouldn't know it because it is never crowded. It can get pretty chilly in the evenings and it rains and, even, snows at the higher elevations occasionally. But the low humidity and the desert scenery makes for some glorious sunsets and some great hiking.
Big Bend is not for you if you want the entertainment to find you. It’s a place where you take your time and look for what it has to offer. We are in our early sixties and plan of going back as often as we can and are planning our next trip with the grandkids. There is much for them to learn there.

RE: Wind in Texas
I don't know of any RV park that is on the beach on South Padre. The biggest one is on the bay side and blowing sand would not be a problem for a short stay. Also, summer winds are no where near as strong as they are in the winter when the generally pick up late afternoon through sunset.

RE: day nite shades have broken
Ours broke while we were camping last Christmas at the Thousand Trials in Claremont, Fl. Found the instructions for restringing on the Internet, but it took about two hours to do it right- I made several mistakes.
On our way out of the park after completing the task I saw a pickup with signs all over it announcing that he repairs blinds. He was camped there and said he covered his camping expenses restringing those blinds. I wish I had known he was there before we started.

RE: 40' Class A-driver without class b-noncommercial DL
First, I do have a class B. Second, I have not heard of any denial of a claim by an insurance company because the driver did not have one. Come to think of it, I wonder what insurance companies do with a claim where a commercial vehicle is operated my a driver without a commercial license. I haven't heard of any denials in those case either, but I have no data on it.
I do know that the aviation insurance providers go out of their way to find ways to deny claims. Not being certified or licensed to operate the aircraft is a big one. Weight and balance is another. Night and IFR currency are also biggies.
All that said, I got the class B to make sure that I wouldn't be denied. It sure wasn't hard to do and in Texas you only have to do it once.
