We agree.  We bought out 1996 Carriage brand new.  We love it and didn't want to trade in so we just added/upgraded things as we went along.  I can't really think of anything that we we would have been "stuck" with had we bought this 2nd hand but as was already stated look for a good quality...

We stayed in Williams when we were there and didn't find it a bother at all.  Nice drive.  We spent a week at the RV park and made 3 or 4 trips up.  One was to hike, spend the night and hike back up, but they have great trams where you board, and when they stop at a destination, you wan walk to...

Hi. I'm sorry but sensors we had for the truck were quite old so I gave them away several years ago. As far as putting the TST sensors on our 2015, we did that not knowing that it already had a tpms system.  We were having serious problems even with going to 2 dealers.  I was told by the...

We have been using our 510 TST system for about 8 years and are still using our original monitor. We have only had to replace 2 sensors.  It is true that you have to send in the non replaceable battery sealed sensors in for replacement but they last 3 to 5 years.  They are also waterproof so if...

99% good experience at overnighting at WallyWorld.  We do not open our door for anyone when dry camping unless there is a siren and/or flashing lights.  One experience at WM  in Alaska was because we had delayed our departure to help a novice RV'er get ready to head to Canada to get the RV to...

I am sorry for what happened to you &  I agree they should have paid the bill.  Unfortunately it is not only pets dogs are going after, it is after people.  I walk several times a times a day as we travel and have been scared or had dogs come after me on 4 occasions over the years.  After 4...

We've been using our permanently installed stabilizers for almost 9 years & just love them.  We are 38' long and adding them was such an improvement! We are fulltimers so if someone is not, it can make a difference in how much movement we will tolerate.  I'd never be without stabilizers-ever. ...

Can you supply a little more information?  Are you fulltime or most time RV'ers or do you have a sticks N bricks where you live while not on the road.  If you have a permanent address in a "real" house. "when you got "home" in October did you go to your home PO and ask them for a change of...

We have had Big Foot on our Carriage since 2010 and would never be without them again.  The make life so much easier for Dutch when we pull into a site.  I am getting "site can't be opened or may have moved" from your link.  Hugs, Di

Very intriguing post since Dutch has been having knee pain & has to wear a slip on brace when he walks.  He may be too far gone because he will probably have to have a knee replacement next year but we'll try anything 1st. When you say your knee feels like it is burning--how bad is the burning...

Our thoughts are with both of you.  Hopefully they can find the right solution.  Hugs, Di

To each his own on his/her/their lifestyle.  Fulltime does mean different things to different folks.  We are just finishing up our 18th year of living fulltime on the road and wouldn't trade it for anything.  For us, we usually stay a week to two weeks in one spot then want to move in and do...

People like everything else are so very different.  We have met & known 50 year old's who should not be behind a wheel and older folks who are doing just fine.  Dutch is 83 and I am 66.  We both feel competent to drive our truck towing our 38' 5th wheel fulltime.  That said, we always look our...

Hi,  I am new to the forums and new to the fulltime lifestyle so I apologize in advance if this subject has been discussed before but I am REALLY in need of some suggestions for what/where to do Christmas this year.  All of my family and friends are in "winter" states up north and I am not...

We have use the TST brand on our Carriage 5th wheel & truck for almost 5 years.  It really "saved" us twice.  The big one was when a brake caliper stuck causing enough heat to set off our monitor which defaults at 157.  We were showing 165! It came up on the screen so quickly.  Once it cooled...
