We have named our 24' LT Serenity "The Queen".  Stems from back in the days when I drove a Ford SuperCrew with an 8' bed, and when parking it, it was like parking the Queen Mary.  So any time after that, when I had a long vehicle, I would just call it the "Queen Mary".  When I purchased the...

Hmm.  I must have a "different" kind of diesel as I drive an LT Serenity which is on a Mercedes 3500 chasis.  I've never done any of that stuff.  I think the lowest I started it was in Rawlins Wyoming one night when it was 5 above zero.  No problem.  Turn the switch on.  Wait till the glow plug...

The HOA is relatively close to Lake Carolyn.  We're gonna stay at a park on Wed before Thanksgiving.  Then on Thursday, we'll drive up to the guard shack and tell'em the LT Serenity is just a VAN!!!  If that works and I can get in, my bro says we're ok as none of the neighbors will complain and...

Yes I don't think my bro realized they were that adamant about it. The problem is we have a small jack russell (aren't all jack russels small?) and my wife isn't wild about leaving her in the RV all day.  Quite frankly, neither am I.  I thought that was one of the reasons we bought the RV -...

Thanks mucho.  Just hadn't heard of that before.  T'was at the LT rally in Winkler Manitoba this year and met alot of wonderful people.  Amazing to see the variety, but there were some people there that obviously had a lot of moola.  Was wondering if they encountered the same problem. But,I...

Maybe I can squeeze the sides in.  :)

I'm not sure I've seen this come up on the forum.  We are going to the Dallas/Ft Worth area for Thanksgiving and a mini reunion.  My wife and I and jack russell (not my wife, but my dog!!!) will be traveling in our beautiful and stately (if I do say so) LT Serenity which is on a Mercedes...

Just drove from Omaha to Winkler Manitoba and back for the annual Leisure Travel Rally.  Wow. The moment we hit Manitoba the roads that were glass on I29 became as bad as I94 through Michigan or I 65 from Chicago through Indianapolis and south. Bad.  Bouncy. And plenty of tar strips every 30 or...

Wow!!! A plethora of products.  I already had a quote on the "extended warranty" and chose to not go that route.  Guess I'll look into the Good Sam RV membership. Thanks all. Chip D.

So when I purchased my LT Serenity last year, I felt it was important to purchase some kind of Road Side Assistance.  Already had AAA but didn't think they would want to see a 24' RV along the side of the road when they were just expecting a Chevy Avalanche.  I bought the Good Sam Road Side...

.....and would you have to make any exclusions in the agreement as to whether or not it was ok to enter it in the "Other" category in the Tractor Pull?

Oh my oh my.  This just gets better.  I think the only thing that can be done to help these poor people is to sell tickets to the event.  And maybe have some kind of chance or lottery on when the first chaw hits the floor, or when the first bed has beer spilled on it, or maybe the first broken...

In Kansas City they have a number of storage facilities that are in abandoned limestone(I think) mines and they can take class A's.  Not too much worry about tornadoes then :) :) Chip d

That's one of the reasons I purchased my Garmin 760 as they have a program included that you put on your laptop called BaseCamp.  The idear is you make up your itinerary and routes on the laptop, and then you can sync it with the Garmin.  It's a good theory anyways.  In practicality, Street...

Sorry, we don't mean to be harsh.  Just think of us as your older and wiser aunt and uncle, ones you look up to and ask advice! Yes, I choose to "let go and let God", but don't forget that Paul said if they don't work, they don't eat. I have so far only had one person who asked, and then when my...
