Thanks for all the input, guys. Yeah, Nashville is part of the "south", but it does freeze here fairly commonly in the winter. I wasn't specifically warned of the dangers of a single freeze, but inferred from the process of "winterizing" (and also I read enough here on the forum) that I knew...

That's actually exactly what we're planning on. Good to know my instincts don't always fail me. : )

So it finally happened. I knew I was bound to mess something up eventually, and I did. It froze last night. And I know. I know to plug it in, turn on the heating, and the tank warmer. I am so mad at myself because I know these things. But I didn't do it. So this morning, of course...

Well, so far, so good. It handles incredibly well. If you've ever driven a U-Haul truck, this will be a piece of cake. If you've ever driven a 15-passenger van, this is somewhat comparable, except it handles a bit differently in the wind. To wit, it catches more wind (significantly taller) but...

Not too late! I actually called Lichtsinn, and they told me that the armrests used for the 08 View aren't actually Winnebago parts at all, they're considered part of the chassis, and thus are technically a Dodge part. $185 to replace it, so I'm considering just shoving a yoga mat under it to...

Excellent suggestions, both. Thanks, guys.

I did a quick search of the forum for "armrests", but every topic that I saw was for the swivel seats, so I apologize if this has already been brought up... The armrest on my passenger's side seat is broken. It's the kind that is supposed to lock into place (to release, you pull it all the way...

I did it. The loan was approved, the check was cut, and despite the Worst Efforts of Greyhound, I eventually got to North Carolina and picked it up: a 2008 Winnebago View 24J. (The link is still live as of right now, though I suspect it will be taken down soon...

Awesome advice. A Dollar Store run is in my near future.

Hey John - Pretty much all of it twice or three times in 2014. We're looking at right around 200 shows, unless I get picked up to open for a larger act, which would mean more merch sales per show = fewer shows needed to hit our budget. The plan is to play shows on Tuesday-Saturday, and take...

Oh man! I've been off the board for a few days, doing the necessaries that come along with this sort of a life-change... backing up all files to external hard drives, backing up those drives to bigger drives for storage, selling some things on eBay, filtering our whole life into Keep (small...

Just going to bump this one last time; hopefully that's okay. We're headed to Winston-Salem on Friday night, so if you're in the area, and would like to make a fairly easy hundred bucks by helping me look over an RV, get in touch.

I finally pulled this movie up on Amazon prime based on the recommendations of this thread, aaaaaaand now my wife is not allowed to watch it until AFTER we start full-timing in February.  ;)

Definitely planning on checking it out thoroughly before making a purchase. Driving to NC next weekend to take a look at one, spend some time in it, and see how it feels. Usually when I tour, all my personal effects (clothing, laptop, shaving kit, etc) go into one small backpack, so I'm used...

Thanks, Gary. It's like starting a new life, in a lot of ways; we're selling most of our replaceable stuff; storing the rest... It's incredibly exciting and adventurous, but "daunting" is another word that keeps coming back to me. Want to make sure I get this right; it's likely the most...
