RE: Leaving tow bar connected to MH
We traveled quite a bit with the bar attached and folded up. It caused no problems and was not in the way.
When I finally removed it, I needed some penetrating oil and a big hammer. Exact same thing happened on my first class A. I now use a receiver bike rack on my class B and I lube it well because I leave it on for 10 weeks in the winter but then pull it off when home.

RE: Class C vs Trailer for Cross country with family? Help
Don’t forget to carry a solar generator for your Rv
I found some options ***Link Removed***
The planned trip will have him driving several hours per day...shouldn't need extra generation beyond the alternator.:b. That is spam advertising from someone who joined today.

RE: Who do you use for Insurance?
We recently shifted everything to Mapfre insurance. Tough to get home owners on an island and tough to get an RV covered Massachusetts. They did both saving us almost 3 grand a year from our previous policies.

RE: Required signing waiver of responsibilty
I guess you wouldn’t mind if the roofer changed the type of shingles after you had signed a contract with him.
If the OP hadn’t paid in full and created a contract with the park I would agree, but they are changing the contract after the fact. This assumes there is no fine print on the reservation form saying you will be asked to sign a release.

RE: Fighting zoning ordinances that hurt RV owners
Amazing how many people don't bother to read the entire thread before posting their learned opinion. The OP has stated a number of times he does not live in an HOA :(.

RE: Fighting zoning ordinances that hurt RV owners
They tried to institute this in a town where I used to live. It was a beach town and boats were okay in driveways but some people didn't want RV's. Luckily I was an elected councilman at the time and lobbied against it (pointing out that boats ARE recreational vehicles) until it was dropped.

RE: What "NAME" can you call that Class B?
... there's nothing that will run an RV A/C other than shore power or a generator.
Oops. You might want to take a look at what people are doing with Lithium batteries... Winnebago running AC off Batteries for 12 hours. Then they add a UHG and charge back up while traveling the next day.

RE: Basic questions about Class B's
I’m sure the Roadtrek Zion is nice but you just switched gears. Your discussion has been the you seem to get more in a B+ or a C verses a B, but when I pointed out some major differences you say you liked the Roadtrek B. I’m just kind of losing track of what you are trying to compare and what point you are trying to make.

RE: Basic questions about Class B's
On the surface the 24 ft B, B+, C- or C are all the same length same height and the B + and C are slightly wider. What are the details I am not seeing?
Your statement: "It had the Ford 350 chassis and did not ride as well as the B's that I test drove..." for one. They drive completely differently. Your second statement "...B + and C are slightly wider" is interesting. My B is 76" wide while the Regency "B+" 94" wide per their specs. That's 18 inches of "slightly wider" :B which takes you out of parking between the lines in pretty much every standard parking spot.

RE: Do most parks check/copy your ID? (Victims of ID theft)
So tell me, how DO you pay for your camp site? If paying by credit card gives them too much information, you certainly won’t pay by check with your home address printed on it. Do you travel with a wad of cash and use an alias when checking in? I guess reservations are out of the question.

RE: Do most parks check/copy your ID? (Victims of ID theft)
Or the 18 year old sells the numbers & ID information to the deep web where people do pay for info and steal your identity.But in the end, who cares. That theft is not “identity stealing” it is just your credit card being compromised. Happens all the time and the credit card companies are getting pretty good at catching it. Of course we end up paying for what they miss via their fees to vendors, but it’s a small price to pay verses using cash and catching a Corona virus. :W

RE: Basic questions about Class B's
Have any of you class B owners made the transition to a short class C? I have not and would not. You are comparing two completely different animals. As someone recently pointed out, it’s like comparing a sports car to an SUV. They both get you from here to there but serve different wants and needs. Also, I don’t think people purchase B’s using a price/space ratio.

RE: What "NAME" can you call that Class B?
A class B. I'm not sure there is a "requirement" for a class B to have a generator. Heck, I bet there are plenty of Class B's running around with broken generators :C. In fact I use my generator more exercising it than I do generating needed electricity. I would be just as happy with a big enough inverter to run the microwave when we stop for lunch and skip the genset.

RE: Leveling the B
1). There is a manual hard plastic fitting under the tire?
I carry a set of these with me but I think I've only had to use them once in 3 years and that was in a friend's driveway. Having a B makes it easier to just move the coach until we are level.

RE: Adj. water pressure regulators
We are "fill the tank and use the pump" people too. Back when we would live in the RV for months in one spot we used the city connection and a regulator but now it's more trouble than it's worth.
But the OP asked about adjustable regulators and I was wondering why people would adjust their regulators and not just leave it set at say 50 psi. And if you don't adjust it why not use a fixed one? My fixed one served me for many years.

When we lived on a boat I always had a first rate Aid Kit, but to be honest, my tool bag was probably way more comprehensive.

In addition, check with local ordinances or HMO rules (if applicable) This is why I don’t have an HMO or live in an HOA. Too many rules :B.
