    actual drive time calculator

    To save vacation days and staying cool. Go round trip plane get a hotel/motel room and rent a car while there. Arrive much more relaxed and back home. No worry's about a dead line or flats, break downs etc.

    Does New Roof Increase Value of MH?

    Just change your present dish to a SWM system and only the present wires will be needed to watch one channel and record on another. Then it will be ready for the present new DTV receivers like the Genie HR34 that can record 5 channels at the same time or H25

    He never did come back and post the outcome of all his problems. He still post on the forums, as of yesterday. Did he get everything fixed at dealer or did he take it to the factory???

    Unwanted GuestI

    De-Con in outside compartments. I get rats this way every winter. Just keep them with plenty to eat. Check at least every other day. Never has one gotten inside the MH. Plenty of food outside. 1st year here they chewed through wires in 2 different areas. I didn't know they were around. In the...

    Electric usage?

    There won't be much difference in price monthly between the 2 places too even worry about. Take the one the DW likes the best for the lot space and the other things you may use there.

    Battery - What are we doing wrong?

    Everything worked with the main breaker turned off? I never have seen electric get past a breaker that was off. Pull the panel and check the main breaker wiring with a meter. That can be danger's if electric is bypassing the main breaker. 12V usually have fuses to pull but not any breakers to...

    Michelin XRV tires

    Gas prices are dropping some. So should the tire prices. I had 2 zipper blow outs with that size, years ago. Will never buy the XRV if they were $200.

    The true cost of owning an RV, 5'er or trailer.

    LP 50-100 a month? You need to move south in the winter. Full Time I use LP to cook breakfast. Rest of meals Convection/Microwave, toaster oven, BBQ grill.  Boost for hot water heater along with the electric when taking a shower. Once or twice a year check if both furnaces still work. Electric...

    Everglades or Key West

    Why not stay at Flamingo in the Everglades. They just opened up some electric sites there. And drive your toad down to Key West. It can be done in one long day.

    Class A and small toad vs Truck & Fifth wheel

    Since this is a Fulltimeing forum.  :D Why would you still need a truck and a car with a MH?  ??? Most full time people don't need that many vehicles. Maybe 99.9% only need one toad.

    Blue Ox Tow System

    From the posted picture of the hook up. It looks to me, that a drop receiver is needed to get the tow bar more level with the MH. That may be a lot of the binding problem unhooking. Measure from the MH receiver to the ground and then from pin hook ups on the toad to the ground. Get a drop...

    GAS OR DIESEL

    And he could have bought a $89K used Diesel with some miles on it.  ::) That would outlast the new gas unit by many years,  ;D When does this maintenance start? Mine over 10 years old and has needed non yet. ISB 17 qt & 1 filter every 15K miles.  Gas 6 qt every 3K miles= 18 qt. plus 3...
