RE: Class A in this campground is to big with toad...

If there is ANY doubt, I unhook the toad and DRIVE the toad to the site. Then when I drive the coach in I have already seen the route and know exactly what to expect, and can back up if I need to.

RE: Baltimore Tunnel etc.

I have an all-electric coach. No propane. Can I use the tunnel? The way I read it, the answer is no, because of the width limit of 96 inches. If that is true, then propane or no propane makes no difference for any but very old coaches.

Campground for Udvar-Hazy

I want to visit the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center (Air Museum) near Dulles Airport. I am driving a 45 foot DP with tow car. Is there parking there that can accommodate me for the day? Also, where is the nearest big-rig friendly RV park?

RE: Directv DVR continuously resetting when no signal from sat

I second what Bill Adams says about hard drives. I have replaced numerous DirecTV DVR's and hard drives over the years due to failed hard drives. When I stopped driving with the DVR's on the hard drives stopped failing.
I doubt if the power saving mode will stop the hard drive. I have power saving enabled on my home DVR and it still records scheduled shows even when power saving is show as being in effect.

RE: Dash Cam

How long can the GoPro record 1080P before running out of space or battery?
I use the GoPro Hero3 camera mounted on my dash. It works great and can also be used for various other movies during a trip.

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

If they drop the Navistar engines, they could again be a contender. But any company that is on its third owner in four years has a lot to prove.

RE: Entegra Road side Assistance

That is correct. Entegra provides Coach-Net membership to all buyers of new Entegra coaches. Coach-Net is as good as it gets.

RE: Basement rollout trays

I've done it both ways, and each has its strengths and weaknesses. I think the best way is to have two slide that meet in the middle in a 60/40 arrangement so that the slide on each side of the coach never goes out the other way. Then you can use full height outside the frame rails and keep lower stuff in the center.

RE: Wifi Ranger vs JEFA Tech vs Unknown...

1. I am currently accessing mobile internet by using my iPhone as a hotspot. This can be done by wifi or by directly plugging the iPhone into my computer via USB. If I get a Wifi Ranger, does anyone here know if I will be able to plug my iPhone into it by USB to get internet, or will I only have internet using the wifi option?
2. I would like to know if anybody has any tricks to simplify running the wire from the router to the batwing antenna.

RE: PPL v Lazydays 1st purchase

I am in Tampa where I just bought a motorhome from Lazydays for the second time (both new units). While here, I met someone who has purchased EIGHT motorhomes all from Lazydays. I think Lazydays is the best.
Buying an RV is a traumatic experience at best because all of them, new or used, have problems that need to be addressed. Lazydays Tampa has something like 100 service bays and hundreds of service personnel. They have a vast inventory of parts. All of this works in your favor, and I don't think anyone can match it.

RE: ReadyBrake vs. Unified vs. SMI

I have used the Unified system for 10 yrs, towing 65000 miles. It has been 100% reliable and effective. It is complicated to install compared to some others, but the payoff is that when using it there is nothing required at all when hooking up or unhooking the tow car. I never even think about it. The hookup is done without spending 10 seconds on the braking system. Plus, there is nothing to store or put away. I am very satisfied.

RE: Building pole barn for the rv...suggestions?

dcbrewer is right. Also, do not go smaller than 50 ft long. 60 would be better so that you can have some work space in front of the RV. I built mine at 50 and now I am getting a 45 foot RV and it will be too tight!

RE: Florida Sales Tax

Lazy days is not cheating anyone. They are selling the unit in Florida or Georgia and they have no obligation to collect WV tax (that obligation rests with the purchaser). Under Florida law, if they deliver the coach out of Florida to a non-Florida purchaser, they don't have to collect Florida tax either.
The obligation in this case is for the purchaser to pay the tax, and rest assured when he goes to get tags they will make him do it.

RE: ipad service question

I have a Verizon iPad and I have been unable to get it set up on a month to month plan. Each time I try to establish a cellular account through "settings", the only choice I am offered is "recurring service". I phoned Verizon and they disconnected me twice.
I have no other Verizon devices. How can I get a month to month account established?

RE: Rivering on steer tire

I had rivering on brand new Goodyears, with hardly 5,000 miles on them. I can assure you I am anal about checking my tire pressures. I based the pressures on actual four corner weighing and Goodyear's inflation tables. Took the coach to be aligned and the alignment shop (Josam, known as the best in Florida) said my alignment was perfect and needed no adjustment. I asked him what he thought the cause was and he said "GY tires are crap!"
I called GY for an adjustment and they said to rotate them. When I did the coach shook like crazy so I put them back as they were. GY then offered to replace the tires for a pro-rated amount, but the net price they wanted was more than I could buy new ones for on my own, so I kept them until one blew out at about 25,000 miles. Then they all went in the trash can.
