We are selling our Sonic 200 VML travel trailer. It has a great layout with two sofas and a murphy bed. The murphy bed is easy to put up/down and can be put up with sheets/blankets/pillows still on bed. Additional features of the RV include: 2-burner cooktop w/ glass cover, convection...

I've seen the "lock fee" to reserve a specific site when making the campground reservation. If you pay the fee, you get to pick the specific site you want. Otherwise, you're just reserving a category of site, and the campground assigns the site when you get there. I've seen the amount of the...

Thanks SpencerPJ! That's good to know.

Thanks Gary! We'll look into that.

Just wondering if anyone here has experience with buying their RV out of state and then registering it in MA and how you handled the process. Based on the information we got from our insurance agent, we have to have the title before we can register the RV and get the plates, and I believe we...

Thanks everyone for the info and for sharing how you've handled this scenario! Definitely something we'll have to keep in mind as we look at used RVs.

In the first response to my original question, one of the questions Kirk suggested was "Do you have a clear title or is it financed?" This isn't something I would have thought of and is great question. Which got me wondering, what is involved with buying an RV when the seller still has a loan...

Thanks everyone! Looking at some of the listings again, I think some of the ones with residential fridges did have 4 6-volt batteries. I'll definitely keep an eye on that for units with a residential fridge. I've looked at so many listing the past few days, it's hard to keep them straight...

We've been looking at used Class A's, and some of the ones we've liked have residential refrigerators (they're not all electric coaches, just the residential fridge). While we usually camp with at least electrical hookups, we do sometimes camp at state parks with no hookups (and limited...

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences! And Thanks Kirk for the great question suggestions! Great info!

We are thinking about buying a used Class A (our first time buying a used RV) and have seen a few on RV Trader that we are interested in. When we reach out to the seller to get some more information, what kind of questions should we initially ask (in that "first contact" message) to help us...

We've stayed at a few RV parks that had storage areas (all on the East Coast though, and all private campgrounds), so they do exist at least in some places. Perhaps call some of the RV parks in the area and ask? I've also read a few posts here and there (either on a message board or in a blog)...

Hi Chovy and greetings from a fellow Sonic owner - I haven't come across many of those. We have a "regular" Sonic, not the X, so no inverter, but we do have the same battery disconnect switch. Looking at the diagrams you posted, I believe the switch on the left is turning the inverter on/off -...

Thanks Len and Jo! I think we are definitely going to plan on 2 days.

We have a couple of Innova Swing inflatable kayaks that we've been very happy with. They are a "sit inside" as opposed to a "sit on top" style (though Innova also makes the "sit on top" style).
