Another possible remedy, if your new motorhome doesn't make it on time, would be for the dealer to give you a 'no-charge' rental motorhome. Not the most ideal, I understand, but at least you could make the trip that you have stated you ordered the motorhome for in the first place. No way am I...

"AUGUST 25--Claiming that a Dave Matthews tour bus driving on a Chicago bridge dumped "80 to 100 gallons of liquid human waste" on dozens of people taking a river boat tour, the Illinois attorney general yesterday sued the band and one of its drivers for $70,000. According to the Cook County...

Oh, they enforce it, just depends on your locale and what the officers' priorities are. It used to be a no-charge fix-it ticket, now, you have to pay a fee. Personally, I think the police should focus more on the cell-phone users while driving (very prevalent in my area) and vehicles that have...

Good question; guess I better hope my Harley is never stolen, looks like I won't get it back, since motorcycles don't have front plates.

My rattle is from an empty metal trunk that used to be full of cash, before I started buying RV's. Didn't rattle when it was full, but now that the cash has run out, what a racket!

I'd have to agree with "There is no single answer to any of your questions." It will depend on your budget and how much room you want or need. Myself, I've had a few Class-A motorhomes after having three fifth-wheels. I don't full-time but I like the room, carrying capacity and larger...

You'll hear the good, the bad, and the ugly on both brands. I feel that all are pretty similar in quality, though I do like the roof of the newer Winnebago's fiberglass over the rubber roof of the Fleetwood's. I have a Winnebago now, but have had three Fleetwood RV's in the past, and can tell...

Are you referring to small 'stickers' or the large 'decals? Small stickers can often time be removed with a hairdryer; decals, on the other hand, can, and will, be quite a challenge. If you do a search here, you'll see what some have done, as this is a common question. When I bought my MH, I...

Sounds like a great idea! I always thought that the movie 'RV' missed the mark, as most of us I'm sure have had far funnier real-life experiences in our travels. One of my favorite mess-ups is thinking that I had already filled the water tank and then getting to a dry-camping camp ground, only...

Not long after we bought our motorhome, my wife dropped a glass jar of spaghetti sauce and at first thought that only the bottom had broken out. As she continued to bring in our food supplies for the trip, she noticed to her horror that there was red spaghetti sauce on the ceiling, and not just...

If you're looking for additional manufacturers and information, you might check out Hellwig Suspension Products at http://www.hellwigproducts.com - for a Workhorse chassis, they recommend the rear anti-sway first, then a trac-bar. If that still doesn't do everything you want, then they recommend...

Anyone use or recommend the use of a magnet on your oil or transmission filter? If yo like them, do you use a disc-style that fits in-between the pan and the filter, one that covers the sides of the filter, or the bottom of the filter?

I'm not familiar with the Tourcrusar, so I did a Google and came up with FourSeasons Tourcrusar, but still no information or pictures. Regarding your question, is this a dual-rear wheel and you can't get the inside dual off, due to frozen lug nuts? Wheel simulator? Maybe you could post some...

I once owned a 1995 Flair on a Ford chassis, with the 460 engine and faithfully changed the oil every 3k miles. In normal highway running, it never seemed to use much oil. On my 500 mile runs over the California Grapevine (south bound) though, it would tend to be down 1/4 to 1/2 quart upon...

Lot's of good suggestions here, and my favorite two would be to watch those right-hand turns and low hanging tree branches. You'll be surprised how many cities don't maintain the branch over-hangs in residential neighborhoods. (They probably don't maintain on the main roads either, but the...
