Big boys and the wonderful world of Disney on Sunday night TV.

The trip went great, well sort of. The remote battery charger quit working and the battery was dead on the toad when we arrived. The camp ground gave us a jump and all was good after that. Found a blown fuse so hopefully that wont happen again. The water dryer quit working and the potty seems to...

Important info if you are planning on evacuating. Atlanta motor speedway is open for evacuees of the hurricane. Free dry camping and 20 bucks for a site with hook ups. Info below. http://www.atlantamotorspeedway.com/media/news/ams-opening-camping-facilities-hurricane-florence-evacuees.html

I lowered my deductible so if it happens again I will be covered with only 500 bucks out of my pocket. This one is not so bad. It had no maintenance records so it was only logical to me to service everything. Our first motorhome the old Winnebago always had something breaking or start leaking...

A little background first.. It has been a while since I posted, it has been a crazy year for us. Retired from the Army almost 2 years ago and I decided we needed to do 2 vacations a year. After retiring I got a job  working on CAT construction equipment, dirty hard work that pays pretty good and...

The hum gave it away to me too. My mom in-laws house AC was not working 2 weeks ago and it was doing the same thing. A free estimate from the AC repair guy says 900 to 1000 to repair it. I replaced 2 bad capacitors for the fan motors and I also bought the cleaner to clean the coils for less than...

Yes use WD40 on the bearings and spin the motor while you spray. Don't be frugal you won't hurt anything. Also take a look at the capacitor. They are fairly inexpensive and if it looks swelled i'd replace it. The tech may have spun the motor by hand to get it to run while you were inside the...

Congrats on your upcoming retirement! I passed thru Kuwait almost 3 years on my way home to retire after a 2 year stint in Afghanistan. I have been retired for almost 2 years now and I love it !! Army 32 years! I say go used, 20 grand is a lot for you to do any upgrades and for park fees. I...

1998 American Tradition here! No long trip in her yet but we love it!

I got stuck in my yard 3 weeks ago leaving out on our first trip in our coach. My neighbor has a huge 4 wheel drive tractor and was able to pull me out. Luckily the rest of the outing went great. Hope the same goes for you,

Thanks Gary!! Exactly what I needed to get the awning fixed!

As you are looking at the coach on the right hand side the end cap has a piece that comes out and it attaches to the side rail. I need to remove the end cap to get it welded since it is cracked. What would be the best way to get the end cap off without tearing something up since I know there is...

We usually go the end of April for our daughters birthday, Going on a cruise this year since she will be turning 18. The daughter likes the beach, I think the wife and I go more for the food! Secured our reservations at the http://www.rvresort.com/Default.aspx I had to send them outside pics of...
