RE: Used Motor Homes not taken care of!
Another good used motorhome dealer is Motorhomes of Texas in Nacogdoches, TX.
We just traded our '93 Newell for a '98 Newell for a good price and felt very good about the deal.
They have quite a bit of used brands at all price points.

RE: Newer gasser with bunks or older (better built) diesel?

Don't let the age scare you. If it's in good shape it will outlast many newer motorhomes.

RE: It Ain't Over 'Till.....
OK, I've paid my taxes all my working life and now retired I'm still paying taxes. I now have the time and means to see all of these areas and have a much better appreciation for the natural beauty. Only problem is that I'm pretty darn worn out, bad knees, bad back, just can't hike more than a few miles and that is an effort. Can't ride a horse or even a bike due to back problems. But I can ride my RZR. So after paying to support these areas all my life WHY SHOULD I NOT BE ABLE TO ENJOY THEM????

RE: Florida made us sick
I had a bad cough a couple years back during the winter here in Louisiana. My doctor treated it as bronchitis. After a few months he changed my blood pressure medicine and it went away in a couple days. I had been on that particular BP meds for over a year before it caused the cough.

RE: Getting service done while being a full time rv'r
Had 4 rear tires replaced in San Antonio Goodyear a couple months ago. Ended up taking all day when a couple studs broke. I had them change all of them. They were kind enough to let us stay in the motorhome while they did the work.

RE: Highway 491 North out of Gallup NM
Took that route in early March this year. Good road just be aware when you cross into Colorado the road is pretty bumpy. Might want to slow down a bit....
I thought we were flying and hit turbulence!

RE: towing 2008 miata
Hey Tim, really miss our Miata. We switched to a Liberty 4x4 to explore the desert and mountains better. But don't have the fun a Miata gives you with the topdown in the curves!
Did you use Rennenmetal for the new towbar?

RE: reefer question for folks in a DP
I have to chuckle when someone makes a statement that 10 year old motorhomes are "too old". Ours is a 1993 in good to excellent condition (which is typical for this and other high-end brands)and constantly have people not believing how old it is. Look at older high-end brands and you might be pleasantly surprised at how well made these units are, and how reasonable the prices are. More like a custom built house than a typical motorhome.
I find our Dometic 2 door (top freezer) refrig. is plenty big enough for us, just spent 3 months travelling and hope to fulltime soon. We found that our fridge in the house had too many items in it that needed to be thrown away. Find that we don't cook as large amounts so the smaller fridge is not a problem.

RE: Radiant Floor heating
I put the Thermofloor matting in my bathroom in my coach under a Wicanders cork floor a couple years ago. Love it, low amp draw, simple to install, makes it really nice on cold mornings. Much easier if you're not doing tile. Make sure the flooring manufacturer rates their floor for radiant heat. Wicanders cork floor is rated for radiant and wasn't much more $ than a cheaper brand.
It will not keep the entire room warm but feels great on my feet.

RE: Would you volunteer two hours to get free overnight stay?
I'd be interested. When traveling we only travel about 4-6 hours then have time to kill when we stop for the night. Be a good use of our time in volunteering, rather than walking around WM. Certainly be less scary........

RE: Davis Mts. State Park
We were there in February this year and like ihavenoid said the area around the park was unaffected. The area up to the observatory was also nice. But the area to the west was pretty barren.
Nice area.

RE: Finally figured out how to outsmart the air compressor!
Like downhome said, the doubler works great. I have one for mine, run 114 in front and 110 in rears. Never have any problem filling my tires anymore.
Not cheap but glad I bought it.

RE: I-40 from Amarillo to Barstow
I-40 out of Albuquerque westbound has construction. Very narrow westbound lane just past CampingWorld (actually on the shoulder, very broken edge).
May be worth taking the service road at CW until the end of construction, about 10-15 miles down.

RE: ant bites
Our favorite is aloe vera gel. Not the store bought kind but break off a bit of leaf and apply gel to the bites. My wife always has a plant around.
Oh yeah, if anyone wants some fire ants I have plenty here in south Louisiana!

RE: Liability insurance
An umbrella insurance policy is nice to have to protect your assets and can be fairly cheap. However check first to see what liability limits you need to have on your main policy. We had to bump up our liability limits to qualify for an umbrella $1mm policy. That was more expensive than the umbrella!

RE: Lifetime motorhome? or buy one now and one later?
Don't overlook buying a used top quality motorhome. In my opinion nothing compares to a used Newell. The construction and component quality is second to none. The factory has been in business for many years, still privately owned, with many long time employees. I can call 24/7/365 and get a service manager on the phone if I need any answers or help.
My Newell is a '93 and will (hopefully if the house ever sells) be our fulltime rig soon. There are some great deals right now due to the economy.

RE: Off Topic, travel to Italy
This is timely for us since we're spending a week in Rome this August then have a week to see Italy before we meet some friends in Monaco.
Haven't planned that free week yet.

RE: How to break the ice with our CG neighbors?
I'm another guy who "sucks at small talk". I'm not unfriendly or snobby, just don't have "people skills", guess too many years working solo. Don't enjoy football/basketball/baseball/ball of any kind, so when conversation turns to ball I feel like a third wheel.
