    A or C on the fence.....

    Class A typically 6-8 mpg and a C can be 6-10mpg, it really depends on how fast you like to drive.  I attempted to go 70-73 mph with a 25+ headwind and I couldn't get over 5.5mpg... On another trip traveling that same speed I was getting over 8mpg which I was only able to do that one time. I...

    PLEASE HELP Big Family, Big Trailer, Large SUV Tow

    Yes give a class A RV a good look Fuel economy will be similar to what you presently have pulling a trailer but it's much easier to travel with, especially if you plan on long trips.  As stated the kids grow really fast... Being able to seperate the kids on their own couch or each 10ft apart...

    Towing using a dolly when alone?

    Also have also loaded a dolly numerous times by myself... Do it a few times and it's easy.  Yes some wranglers aren't cheap and they all also hold their value really well.  Most do not need a rubicon or similar priced wrangler thus a sport level wrangler isn't to hateful in the $$$...

    EPA gas mileage?

    Class C = 7-10 ish MPG Class A gas = 6-8 MPG Class a DP = 6-12 MPG In all coaches your speed affect mpg a lot, go much over 55 mph and fuel economy drops off.  Or if you are in a gas coach and keep speed up going up and inclines it will suck the gas down.  My gas class A 38ft workhorse chassis...

    tow bar for 2012 wrangler

    Yes, the hard rock bumpers are ready to accept a winch however unfortunately these aren't able to be modified to accept towing, the base plate is required. If you are wanting a winch in the future and your present bumpers do not accept a winch, I would give a aftermarket bumper a look now, it...

    Buy older DP now or wait for a newer Gas

    As someone else stated how will you be using the coach? A few weekends a year and only a 30 minute drive to the camping area or week vacations across our country? I would give the DP a very good look.  Before you make up your mind take it for a drive and also visit your local RV store and drive...

    tow bar for 2012 wrangler

    Blue Ox is what I used, pulled a 08 JKU for 20k plus miles.... It's a great setup.  As stated if you want a different bumper there are several available which include the mounts on the bumper itself for towing, they are welded to the bumper. Some that are into off-roading more will go this...

    Diesel vs Gas with limited budget

    I am, going through a similar dilemma.... looking to spend under $60k for a RV and I am leaning towards a DP.  I want the extra towing ability as well as more miles between fill ups.  That was the biggest pita with my bounder 38p, 400 ish miles on a tank and the majority of the gas stations I...

    Thinking of getting a Jeep Wrangler

    Price - you can do better then $510 off, If you are a AAA member that in itself will get you 1% under invoice.  Some dealerships will not deal at all others will thus shop around.  When I was shopping for my jeep a few months ago the local dealership where my soon to be X wife purchased her 08...

    Using a Trike or a Can-Amm Spyder

    As stated drive/ride them I haven't been able to ride a can am yet, use to play volleyball with someone who had one, he drove the thing 365 days a year & loves it.  I have used trikes before, Harley versions and they were horrible.  I have owned 8-10 Harley Ultra Classics over the years which...

    Class A or C

    I would think a f450 probably doesn't get the range a DP coach gets on a tank of gas?  Thus depending on the area it's possible it could be difficult to get fuel, not all fuel stations are setup for large vehicles. Low ceiling height or just a lack of room between pump and building. My trip out...

    Class A or C

    Camping areas do have length limitations.  Depending on where you plan on going as stated you should visit their websites to see limits. My RV is 38ft and on our trip out west back in 09 there were a handfull state/national parks that we could not fit in.  We simply stayed a few miles away at a...
