    South Dakota Black Hills

    Rafter J was great, and reasonably priced.

    List of towables

    MotorHome Magazine publishes one every year.  I don't know that it's all inclusive, but it appears comprehensive. http://www.motorhome.com/download-dinghy-guides/

    Newbie all the way around - insurance question

    Garry's right, everyone is different.  And every company prices different people different ways.  However... If you brought that quote to me I'd start the discussion with the deductibles.  The first question being: "what amount would you be comfortable paying in the event of a collision?"  I'd...

    NFL

    I have no issue with protesting and believe it to be both a right, and healthy for a society.  My issue is with the venue. There is one reason they get any attention, because they're paid to play a game.  They're paid from the receipts of the tickets we all buy.  They're paid from the revenue...

    Blind Spot Detection Questions

    I'll be the contrarian opinion. While I agree there is no substitute for paying attention.  And, a properly aligned mirror is the best option.  I believe there would be value to accurate blind spot monitoring sensors.  The system would have to be accurate to cover the length of the coach. ...

    Best route from east to west

    We just completed our Chicago to SD round trip.  We stayed on 90 the entire way and had no problems.  There is some construction around the MN / SD border with narrow lanes, but that was the only slow down.  Take a look at your traffic map before you make the turn to Cleveland.  It may make...

    White Knuckles

    Funny, that was almost the exact same question I first asked about our Damon when I joined the Forum! It wasn't uncommon for me to feel as though I was wrestling the wheel on our Damon Daybreak.  It fidgeted a lot, and was rough in wind.  I used the info in Gary's article (link in Alfa38's...

    Electrical Annoyance

    Thanks for all the input! From all of the above, it sounds as though I should spend quality time under the dash prior to a mechanic.  And, starting with the radio follow it out looking for frayed wires. I appreciate all the help!

    Chicago traffic

    My preference has always been to take 80/94 to 355 (which becomes 290).  It avoids 90 through the city, and 294.  It's a few miles longer but the odds of getting into a major mess are much less.  From the Indiana line on 80/94 I can get to 90 (via 355) in exactly 1 hour almost every time. I do...

    Electrical Annoyance

    I perpetually blow the dash fuse for the dashboard lights.  And, the radio will cut in and out ultimately ending with a message saying "check wiring". I've looked at the radio wiring, everything appears to be correct.  And, I've had 2 mechanics look at the wiring under the dash.  Neither have...

    Samson Advance Radial Truck GL283A

    After a somewhat exhaustive search for "the best" tires for our coach I ended up replacing the drive tires with Samson's.  Having read all the reviews of Chinese manufactured tires, and priced a lot of options it was worth a shot.  I did find out Samson is owned by Michelin, and has a...

    Moving across the country

    Welcome!  And, good luck on the move! We made the move from IN to CA, then CA to MN (among others).  Each time we talked about what a good idea it would have been to have purchased a coach before hand.  Specifically for the CA relo.  The ability to be reasonably close to work all week then: head...

    Securing batteries in compartment

    I had a similar issue.  I went to the hardware store and picked up a tool belt for each battery.  On Amazon it's: CLC 3505 ToolWorks Web Work Belt, 2" Wide, Large. They've only been on for 3 months and (roughly) a thousand miles.  But, so far I haven't had any problems or noticed any wear.  I...

    Windshield Wiper Motor

    Good day all!  The next in my series of questions is below.  Thank you all in advance for your input! When I turn on my windshield wipers: at intermittent the move about 12" and stop, at medium they fight to go across the entire windshield, and on high they work as expected.  However, when...
