    Weight of water in tanks and effect on MPG?

    "Ok...let's give this a try.  I have a 100 gallon fresh water tank.  Our coach weights 27,000 lbs.  The full fresh water tank is approximately .03%  of the total weight.  I don't think that will affect my overall mpg at all.  Marsha~" Are you sure that's what the actual weight of your coach...

    Comparing portable generators

    I did all the research you are going through, and thought I would buy a Honda....then "just to be sure", I looked at the Yamaha's.  I bought a 1000 and a 3000is - they were quieter (in my opinion) and have been very reliable and easy to start machines.  We have a Honda car and 2 Honda...

    Too Cold For A Slideout?

    I'm in southern Indiana.  It was 1 degree this morning and I thought about my trailer for some reason.  Just curious about those rubber seals.

    Too Cold For A Slideout?

    It's awfully cold here this morning, and I wondered if manufacturers have a recommended "minimum" temperature for operating a slideout.  The rubber seals and associated parts probably have a functional limit for cold weather - but what would that be?

    The MiFi is right for you, IF ...

    I've been using Verizon's MiFi for a few months now and I'm really happy with it.  It's very small and portable, and has a good battery life.  We are able to use it much farther than the advertised 30' with success....particularly in our home.  I also have one of Verizon's USB air cards and like...

    Small Personal Heater

    Thanks to this post, I bought one of these Vortex heaters for my motorcycle camper.  I use a small 1,000 watt Yamaha generator that does a fine job of powering the heater in either setting.  What a nice little lightweight heater!

    Frozen pipes

    You could take it to a place large enough to have it inside until it thaws....like a big welding shop.  Ask them if you could park your unit in their shop for a few hours until it thaws (if they have the space available).  Offer a few bucks or a big box of cookies right out of the oven!  That's...

    Solar backup generator ??

    After watching the video on their website, I'm scared.  I'm buying one of these for every room in my house..... Now seriously, for those of us who are intrigued by having a solar system for our TT or motorhome, what would be a reasonable setup?  I know I already have a deep cycle battery on my...

    Finding A Place To Stay - I'm New To RV'ing

    Ha!  Too funny.... Yes, my Goldwing does have a built in GPS, and I have a GPS unit in my Excursion when pulling the TT.  The problem with the Goldwing GPS is I have to completely stop the bike in order to press any of the keys.  Sort of a pain, but I know they do that for safety and liability...

    Finding A Place To Stay - I'm New To RV'ing

    ;D I am fortunate to be able to travel and work at the same time!  Yes, I use a Verizon Wireless aircard and generally have good reception in most places.  It's sort of a pain to unpack from my motorcycle though while going down the road and then power up the computer to find a location....I've...
