That's a beautiful photo.

That's a neat idea. The builders must be very skilled and imaginative. But really, how much fun could it be to use that class A as a boat? No open top, no suntan lotion, no towing the kids on the wakeboard. Also, speaking for myself, I couldn't sleep in it while it was afloat. I could never be...

Now that you have the cables in correct order, I suggest wrapping the cables with the color appropriate duct tape. Red +, Black - of course. It worked great with mine. ;D

The reason I asked "why did the mechanic take the motor apart?" Is to determine what mechanical issue did the mechanic seek to fix? If it were a simple fix like a water pump, then I might trust that the mechanic did a good job on the repair, and go ahead and reassemble the engine. However, if...

My kids love Jellystone! I always thought kids and camping went hand in hand. --------------------------- If some kids are disturbing you, I suggest you contact a campground administrator. Not all kids are troublesome. I'm sorry that a few poorly taught and supervised kids are ruining anybody's...

Forgive my ignorance, please tell me what an "Urchin" is. Thanks.

If you're ambitious, you could relocate the battery. In my own situation, I relocated my engine battery from behind my grill, to an unused slot in my house battery compartment. I did it for reasons other than appearance, but the result yielded what you're after. ... Or you could paint your...

The RV manufacturers cater to the market. If the majority of RV buyers prefer a dinette, then the majority of manufacturers will build them that way. When I was shopping for a used RV, I sought out one with a convertable dinette/bed for the kids. In my own situation (and presumably the situation...

Is your toggle switch in question a two position (on/off) or three position (on/off/on) switch?

I use an app on my iPhone called "myPilot". It gives me the locations of all of the Flying J/Pilot truckstops. I can plan my route right on the app, then I can click on each Flying J/Pilot location along the way to pull up all the info about that particular store. I can see weather or not the...

It had never occurred to me that a campground water supply could be so over pressured. This is great to know. I priced the regulators over at campingworld and see that they range from about $10 to $50. This is cheap insurance indeed, and so easy to screw onto the campground fitting before my...

Here's a photo of my 1985 Holiday Rambler. This photo was taken at Indian River, Michigan. My wiife, three kids and I love taking our RV on long road trips! :)

Trip report. I wanted to take a moment to thank Rich and Kay for their great story about their trip across the USA. The story was very well written, and ought to be helpful in my own travels in the future. Also, thank you Tom for your work to get the story posted in the library.

Thanks for asking, my plans are still in the works. Much depends on the amount of time I can get away from work. I have earned a three week long vacation from my employer next summer. I will have to rely on my employers' good graces to give me three consecutive weeks vacation. Money is always a...

My family and I own an old class A 1985 Holiday Rambler. Our first RV was a class C. For our second coach, we decided to go class A all the way. We've owned it for three years now and have taken the ol' girl for some pretty audacious trips. My family and I love camping and discovering new...
