Works great in SJ CA

I also use cotton bath towels to dry the coach and up to now have draped them over the washing brush to reach the high sections. The idea to use the swim noodles and Velcro is excellent! Thank you for the idea, I will make the tool right away.  ;D

Hello, We  purchased our 2007 Voyage 35L (W24 Chassis) new in Jan of 2009. The price was 35% below MSRP, the dealer was very anxious to sell the rig since it had been sitting on the lot for well over a year. This is our third class A motorhome, the previous being a 1998 Southwind Storm that we...

Standard transmissions have their place. Number one, Rv'ing should be fun, not labor intensive, ask any big rig driver. Number two, torque multiplication. The torque converter used in a automatic trans. provides better torque from the engine when starting out from a stop. I am a mechanic for a...

Hi, the VIN number is usually a safe bet, but not always. The emissions label that is on or near the engine will say "this vehicle comforms to the 1998 year model" for example. As a mechanic myself, I have found this to be the most accurate method for finding the correct part. ;)

Nice Job Tom! Thank you for all of the great pictures and information. I am planning a similar upgrade and have learned a few things from your project.

Hi Tom, Welcome, We own the Winnebago version or your motorhome also on the W24 Chassis. We have only had ours a couple of months and so far love it. How has yours been so far? I am also new to this great forum, there are a whole bunch of really friendly people here that have tons of RV...

Hi BryTim, I agree with Voyage1. Winnebago builds a very good motorhome. We own a Voyage 35L and compared to our past class A motorhomes, there is a big difference in build quality. We purchased the Voyage new recently and were able to buy 35% below MSRP. This is a great time to buy! Welcome to...

Hello, We purchased our second Class A Motorhome at Mfg. RV show in 1998. Please be carefull, some dealers rent a large parking lot, put their own inventory on it, and call it a show. The RV show you want to attend is a Manufacturers RV Show. There will be many different dealers there and most...

Hi, I have been a full time licensed auto/ truck mechanic in CA for over 30 years. In addition I own a small business (not auto repair related). You need to make a decision, if you have signs and business cards and charge for your services, then all local business laws, tax and insurance rules...

Hi, I can tell you what I pay in the SF Bay area of CA. I have a storage spot that is about 17 x 40' that is outdoors with no electrical connection and is gravel. For this I pay $95 a month. In our area with housing prices  starting around $750,000 this is a bargain. Here you can keep a RV on...

We recently traded in our 1998 Fleeetwood Southwind Storm 31W Class A motorhome on a new Winnebago Voyage 35L. About a year after we purchased the Storm (new) I noticed the side wall on the left rear was swelling and bubbling. Long story short, Fleetwood replaced all of the walls at their...

Hi Ron, You talk about using dry wash, is that called, " The Solution"?  I currently use the Solution and I like it. It seems to do a good job and is easy to use. Does it provide enough protection? Is a paste wax also needed to protect the paint and decals? Thanks for your opinion, Jim

Run and hide from this RV. In our current economy there are much better deals out there. This RV would not even be a nice gift. Good luck on your search, Jim

Ah, finally a solution for for tailgating! ::)
