Thanks for the relpies. This is such a great bunch. Hope to meet some of you "on the road". Will know tomorrow if we pick up the Bounder or stick with the 21 foot mh. Either way, I'm ready to hit the road. Word around the family is "Don't look for Grampa in Flagstaff".

While flat towing, does the toad mileage meter record the miles as when it is being driven?

We are this close to going full time in a Class A. We are looking at a 2006 Bounder 36Z. We love the interior layout and it has that 'at home' feel to both of us. Wife likes the idea of the washer/dryer in the bedroom. It has the Chevy power plant (although I'd prefer the Ford V-12). And it has...

Thanks for the info and the tips. Actually I'm using a set up I had set up on a travel trailer. The system is independent of the coach set up. Yeah. I know redundancy. To many years working on airplanes I guess. But if out in BLM or other lands and things electrical go south the solar set up is...

I'm thinking of installing solar panels on the roof of our new Four Winds Elite 21c. I have no shortage of tools and installation knowledge so plan to do it myself. One item I 'don't' know about is how to local the roof frame members so I can properly install the panel mounts. And, I'd like to...

Weather man/woman lied. It was 26 degrees at 4 AM. So much for that global warming theory.

As I said, the predicted temps will be 60 today and 30 tonight then 40's/60's for the next month. Knew I shoulda got an Old Farmers Almanac. This being our first MH I'm a little protective and was concerned about one night of the 30's. We 'go out' quite often but it is in the driveway while I...

Carl. I-10, exit 70 in Florida. Near Ft. Walton Beach.

Temperatures will be in the 30's at night and 60"s day time. Should I be concerned about winterizing the motor home? I won't be using it for about a week or so? Thanks.

We like and somewhat prefer the national and state forests and BLM camping areas. 1. Take new motor home. Meet nice folks and some even come to our campfire with beverages. 2. Take the old pick up and the restored 1969 Security Industries 13 foot 'Traveler' bare bones camping...

Many happ trials with your new unit. I like those Bounders. Folks I've talked to really like their Bounders. My next MH? A Bounder.

We have never been to an RV Rally. So, serious question, what goes on at an RV Rally and what is one expected to contribute? Love the Moab area and am considering the rally in May if I'm allowed. O.K. Stop laughing at the rooky and answer the question already. ;D

Sirius radio. Not Sirrus. (Spelcheck was off)

Ah-ha. Sirrus! Your reply jogged my memory (which apparently is not very long term :-[). The MH came with a Jensen, Sirrus Ready radio and a pamphlet saying six months free Sirrus. Called a tech friend at the dealership. I need to buy a Sirrus device of some sort to install on the radio and I'll...

We have a Class C. Camper body on van chassis. The FM radio antenna is mounted on top of the right fender, way under the camper overhang. FM reception is terrible and short range. What can be done? New unit so I hesitate running wires and mounting another antenna, but. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
