Lol, thank you for the info, Alfa38, that's very helpful.  We will investigate further at our next stop. 

Thanks, all! This is so helpful.  Paul and Ann- We don't know enough about our batteries yet, so I can't tell you exact what kind they are.  But I know that our 2 12-volt chassis batteries and our 2 12-volt house batteries are housed in the same compartment, as we have a front-end diesel.  One...

Thanks, all.  We finally found one, a Stehltow.  It's working fine so far, and it's been great to be able to travel in the RV together. 

Hi again.  :) We've been full timing since August in our 32' 2011 Four Winds Serrano Class A diesel.  We are still figuring out the electrical system.  We have an Onan generator and a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter.  We have a few questions. 1- We recently ran down both the house and...

Thanks so much, y'all.  I appreciate the tips about the weight rating, Gary.  Finally found a place that has some along our route- RV City in Benton, AR.  Hopefully they'll have one matching the specs we need.  :)

Question: Where do RVers commonly buy their tow dollies when purchasing in person?  I'm not having much luck with online for-sale listings (Craigslist, Ebay, RV trader or here) because we need a heavy-duty/high weight capacity one (4500lbs and up, for our 2012 Honda Odyssey with cargo) and many...

I'm so sorry to hear that.  I hope all goes well with your visit to TCH.  You are in good hands there.

We are safe which is the important thing. The governor waived state park fees for evacuees so we are enjoying a scenic spot in Central Texas out of the rain. 

Thanks for the info, all.  There isn't any indication of prior water damage that our mechanic/inspector or myself saw.  However the previous owner blew a front tire and damaged a headlight shortly before selling it, so I wonder if that incident misaligned things.  Also the previous owner kept it...

You're welcome! I'm glad you got the info you needed. I hope you don't need to be at TCH anytime this week or next though. The flooding is very bad from Hurricane Harvey and worsening.  TCH cancelled a lot of outpatient appointments (including one of ours) and implemented other ...

Hi all, We are new to RVing, and Hurricane Harvey rolled in on our first weekend in the rig (31' 2011 Four Winds Serrano class A diesel). We decided to evacuate the Houston area in the RV, but in the process we discovered we were taking on water from both slides and from the top of one cabinet...

If you're going to the west tower of TCH this is where you're headed, but the other buildings set up are very similar too-- https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7086946,-95.4016131,3a,75y,59.59h,88.86t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sUUkwNTTi5L6roc11FMsrvA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 TCH is to the right, with low...

We go to TCH frequently and hospital parking is all underground with low clearance.  Its' difficult to navigate those parking garages with a normal car and they can't accommodate an RV. You could check if valet will park your RV though- that's $18/day with no in/out privileges.  The medical...

Thanks again, all.  :) This was all very helpful. Hope to be RVing soon!

Definitely good thinking.  However I wouldn't want to drive 3 hours (with 3 preschoolers!) and not be able to inspect or drive it.  I think I'd have to make a rather blind purchase, as far as testing out the thing ourselves before/after our mechanic does, and with our inexperience I think we'd...
