    Roof Coatings

    How much do you want to spend on resealing roof? Rhino echo coat, similar to truck beds is the best way to go. Rubber roofs only last about 7 to 10 years before problems start. Echo coat has a lifetime warranty as long as you own the motorhome. Look it uo on You Tube.

    Towing RV with towing dolly

    I have a 32 class A with ford 460. I have towed a tercel with tow dolly up steep mountains and freeways with no problems at all. I prefer tow dollys because they are cheaper to tow. Just don't back up with them and you will be fine. Good luck.  ;)
