Gary We bought a 2013 KIA Sole, mainly because of the weight factor, my '99 PaceArrow showes a 3,500 GVTW. Naturly the dealer said no to the 4-down tow, so we are looking to get a Dolly, most of the advise I have gotten said that the brakes and stop light on the dolly would meet all the...

OK We have Step 1, Put sticks and bricks up for sale; Step 2, Bought a small car to tow Step 3, Now we need to get a Tow Dolly and have the new car wired for towing. Where do I go that I can get the work and Dolly for less than a kings ransom ? I thought about U-Haul or Camping World...

I have a '99 PaceArrow and on the last outing my new coach battery kept dying. Just bought it 3 weeks ago and prior to our trip we never had any problems. If I used the disconnect mounted on the battery, never had a problem-but if I forgot to disconnect it would die overnight. I checked all the...

OK Brothers and Sisters, The DW and I put a down payment on a Country Coach,Newport Model. We will sign for it next week, but until then I (WE) need some feedback from other Country Coach owners as to what we are getting into. I went to a Country Coach fourm and found nothing but problems, I...

Carrying it on the ladder, makes me remember the way the "Beverly Hillbillys" drove into Bevery Hills in the old truck with things tied on everywhere. I have one that has been in my garage since the first time I used it.

Sorry guys, not really thinking. We will be at Nescowin, OR which is only a couple hundred feet above sea level. We cannot boondock because of the DW's handicap and her not being able to use her walker on really uneven ground. We live in Vancouver,WA so we are aware of the climate. I was hoping...

We had an old PaceArrow (quite a few years back) and had taken our grand kids on thier first camping trip in the motor home, I to forgot the pressure regulator and after hooking up we played some games with the younguns, when my grandson came running up and told me the RV was peeing on the...

My DW and I have decided to try to winter-over on the Oregon coast, about 10 miles inland. This should be a challange but might be fun. What can others, that have taken this project on, tell us to be ready for and what to take to be warm and dry? We have a 34 foot motorhome, I'm told was built...

I have mod the shower tub/pan to allow my DW to step in eaiser, due to a med. problem, but I did not think about the replacement door before I pulled the front . Where did you get the folding door? I have been on a quest for a replacement door but only get prices in the $200 to $300 range to...

We have a couple down the block, he's 95 and she's 87, he's in poor health and she's terrified of the size of the RV they bought. He can't get up the stairs of thier Class A, but they went ahead and bought a '95 Holliday Rambler for $50,000. The thing is worth about $12,000 at best, the previous...

Your right about Walnut Grove, we took our 34 footer in there about a year ago, I felt like we were parked in someones back yard. The spaces were not designed for large rigs with slides. We had to bring our slides in so the neighbor could park, then we could extend them again, but you could not...

If I tow my car with a tow dolly, do I need a Brake Buddy or equal? We are looking for a Dolly with  elec. brakes on the wheels. Larry

OK-The Dw wants to buy a new couch that would normaly be for a house. How would you bolt it down to the slide????? The jack-knife we have is like sitting on 2x4s, hard as a rock. Has anyone done this or will I have to put out major dollors to buy RV Furniture ? Larry

During our walk around, in front of thier house, I found many problems that should have been addressed by a competent dealer so we made a list and they ask me to drive it to the dealer for repairs. As of today it's been a week or two since we dropped it off and they haven't heard from the...

Being from Washington State, I have found even with my 34 footer that the state parks were generally  planned prior to 35 footer with slides. The parks are wonderful and fun, but most of the sites are small and short. I ran my rig into a ditch and got it stuck trying to make a turn into a site,(...
