    How to Be A Wise Purchaser

    In the last few weeks I've noticed in the Spokane, Coeur d'Alene area many scam postings in the RV section. Price is super low, usually below $20,000, for a newer upscale Class A. That usually is enough to tell me it's a scam, but sometimes I also grab the email and do a Google search on that...

    Purchasing a new RV

    I've been on this forum educating myself for about 2 years. Among other things I've learned from the many experienced RVers in this forum is that the depreciation hit once driven off the lot is huge. I've heard of up to 30% off MSRP. Even when MSRP is marked down by the dealer, there's still a...

    Costs of living full time

    My wife and I will be retiring in a few years. We currently rent and will need to move out of our home at that time because it's employer provided. We are looking at a slightly used (3-4 years old) good quality Class A to live in when we retire or even sooner. We have excellent credit and it...

    Grand Canyon photos

    Absolutely beautiful photos of the Grand Canyon. Good job! Do you mind if I use a few on a promotion site my school has for Japanese college students (all females) who are coming from Japan to visit the Grand Canyon? http://www.mukogawa-u.ac.jp/~global/

    GPS and Cell Data with the new Garmin

    I don't think this is entirely true. Last year we traveled to Canada and I downloaded the route to my Google maps on my iPhone, and then just before I crossed the border I turned my phone to airplane mode. Google maps got me to my destination with no problem even though my phone was not...

    Build to order RV

    We are not interested in the built in sound systems because we have a high-quality portable blue tooth system (Bose) that we use with our iPhones that would work anywhere inside and outside of the RV. Also, we don't want a TV in the living room area as all our lives even with our children the...

    Build to order RV

    My wife and I are interested in a kind of build-to-order option when buying our RV (either 5th wheel or Class A). We are not interested in the pre-installed sound or media (TV) systems that are seemingly in most RVs. Are there manufacturers that provide this?

    Potential newbie ... CONVINCE ME!

    Image this scenario. You are traveling in a Class A. Something breaks down. You look for an RV dealer for service/repair. There closest one is in the next big city, 150 miles away. And then when you get your RV towed to that city, the RV shop has to order the part. It will take 1 week to arrive...
