RE: Class A in this campground is to big with toad...
Would it not of been easier to just unhook the toad and then drive MH to site???
X2.
I always disconnect my dinghy at check-in, and my DW drives it to the site.
Unless I can see the clear pathway to our site...thats exactly what the wife and I do

RE: Class A in this campground is to big with toad...
I wouldnt own a coach that was that difficult to get around....Hence my 36ft CC is easier to operate than my 33ft Southwind ever was

RE: How old is too old?
We're looking to buy a used motorhome (our first.) I'm leaning toward an older higher-end MH, such as Newmar, in order to get the features we would like within our budget.
I would like the MH we buy to last for 10 years and be reliable if we give it good care. I don't mind doing the simple maintenance items and repairs, but I'm not looking for MH renovation to become a hobby. I will probably hire all significant work done.
Right now, I have a reasonably good comfort level with buying a 10 or 12 year old Newmar or equivalent MH that has been cared for and is in good condition. I feel that it should last another 10 years without maintenance issues becoming enough of a problem to cause me to sell it. Is this a reasonable expectation? How old is too old before it figures to become too much of a pain in the backside?
Thanks.
Wayne
I have a 13 yr old Country Coach and there aint a thing wrong with it...!

RE: Rest Areas Safe?
How safe are restareas to stop in at night and get a few hours sleep?
It varys! Ive stayed all night in some that were bank vault safe....and others that Ive pulled into...I stayed just long enough to use the commode and away I went.
A LOT depends on just where you are...

RE: Beware of Flying J
We are 1/3 of the way through a 7500 mile X country trip. I have used FJ exclusively and have had no problems until yesterday. At exit 95 on I 65 south of Indianapolis, IN, the diesel sign indicated $3.89 9/10 (cash) and with my Good Sam Reward card I thought I would be paying $3.83 9/10 to fill my DSDP, HA!!! I failed to look at the price at the pump at the RV island, and when I was finished, saw that I was being charged $4.14 9/10 per gal. This is over 30 cents per gal., or in my purchase, $22.00 more. When I complained, I was told that if I checked the price listed on the interstate sign, I would see that it said "tax exempt trucks only". They were right, and you could see it if you had strong binoculars.
I have always paid the price which was shown on the hi way sign so this is a new gimmick. I don't know if this is exclusively in IN or if this is going to be nationwide. Has anyone else experienced this?
Its been that way for over a decade. Its not FJ's fault that you dont read the fine print

RE: Water leak from area behind Frig
I repaired my ice maker line myself twice. Had it replaced when they pull the fridge to change the cooling unit.
I replaced that garbage plastic line to my own twice...finally the 3rd time did it in copper!!

RE: If you were a Snowbird, where would you stay?
Somewhere in the SW USA.
Its hot enough and cold enough in the SW for me and the food is delicious ( not that blistering hot TexMex....I mean REAL "mexican" food)

RE: air tabs
I also am familiar with vortex generators since they were installed on two of the planes that I owned and are present on most commercial planes in service toady. Now I'm not sure that any student in a high school class has my flying experience, or racing various vehicles at high speed, but knock yourself out finding one that does. In the meantime, hang on to your pennies.
Ah yes, the vortex generators on planes argument. Coming from a plane owner and car racer no less. If VGs placed in critical areas of the high speed airflow over smoothly contoured surfaces make an improvement because it stops the airflow separating from the wing or flap surface, then of course sticking dozens of them on the extreme back end of a slow moving box will do wonders.
Show me a plane that has them plastered all over the extreme trailing edges of the wing or empennage structure and then maybe we can extend that reasoning to sticking them on the extreme rear of a 60' vehicle
The main thrust of the marketing hype remains vastly improved fuel consumption (yes 4% (if what is being reported is correct) IS a vast improvement) and when you look at what has been done on trucks to improve the aspect ratio - much more aerodynamic fronts, Overcab structures, very small gaps between tractor and trailers and the huge air walls fitted under trailers - and then get told that a few bits of plastic stuck right on the back are going to add another dramatic improvement in fuel use. Sure.
Still, despite a lot of effort put in to debunking such claims, the world is still full of all sorts of imaginative ways to separate people from their money and one constantly-booming sector is 1001 ways to improve your fuel economy and boost the power level, or more usually both economy and power at the same time - or your money back (less P&H) within 14 days.
By that companys own admission they have no way to ACTUALLY determine that the tabs do anything for a motorhome in the handling category...NOR in the fuel economy category. Its all in the warm and fussy feeling is where they excel to whatever extent they might.
And if such devices assist aircraft so well...why havent I seen them on the wings of F16's and F18's...etc.???
Buy and install what you want because I sure wont put the stupid looking things on my own RV...but you're free to slap any amount on your own you wish!
