    Looking to Purchase My first Motor home.

    Perhaps you should look for a Class C?  You will probably get a newer model Class C as opposed to a Class A for 10K.    My other suggestion is search privately rather than dealers.

    My newest Chromebook

    I love my Chromebook!  My husband and I both have laptops that we use for work but during the evening when I am half watching tv or while in bed I use my Chromebook  to browse the net.  I like it much better than using our iPad as I prefer the built-in keyboard.  As a matter of fact we...

    floor plan vs type of rig...

    It goes to show that if adapt to your surroundings you can make anything work.  In my case I do allot of the preparation in my home kitchen prior to departure.

    Dilemma about which Make to Choose!

    The other respondents are absolutely correct...  Most satisfied customers don't take the time to write reviews.  I am one that also researches reviews but only to see if there is a common theme (especially when it comes to campgrounds).  Price point is a good indication of where the unit falls...

    Retiring to a MH or not?

    A word to the wise...look for a unit with kitchen counter space.  We are on our 4th MH and finally I am satisfied.

    floor plan vs type of rig...

    Every respondent has good points and if I were in your situation I would definitely start creating a requirements list.  It might sound silly but having a headboard and not a window behind our bed and having a cabinet to store my kitchen trash can in were deal breakers for me.  When we entered...

    Very discouraged with Boat N RV service...

    Update:  We made a personal visit today and escalated our issues to the GM. No answer and no excuses for the lack of urgency but she did fix the problem asap. Our MH will be in the repair bay on Monday. She agreed that three weeks of no progress and non-communication is unacceptable and...

    Big Rigs Telling Little Rigs To Move, Would You Do It?

    His sense of entitlement has nothing to do with the size, type, age or model of his rig it's just plain and simple he has a miserable personality!  I am positive that his  complaints to the other campers fell on deaf ears.  Just ignore because...you can't fix STUPID!.

    RVing in national parks with a small dog

    We ave two dogs which is one of the reasons that we decided to purchase our MH.  It is my observation that 50% of campers travel with pets thus most CG's are very accommodating. Some even have dogs parks to allow the dogs to run leash free.  Regarding barking... we have a Yorkie-poo that is a...

    Very discouraged with Boat N RV service...

    I 100% agree.  There are only two items on the list that require replacement parts and am positive they are not manufacturer specific so it's obviously just an excuse for their service delays.  Just after I created my post I decided to call them again and to my shock someone finally answered...

    Very discouraged with Boat N RV service...

    We purchased a slightly used 2008 Gulf Stream FRED from the Hamburg, PA Boat N RV location in October of this year. We did all of the right things by taking our time and performing a comprehensive inspection of the unit and finalizing a Owe You list before finalizing the sale. Since the items on...

    Introducing myself

    Sounds like your full timing plan is now in action.  We are in our mid fifties and I talk a good game when it comes to full timing.  But my husband always brings be back to reality reminding me that I will never leave the grandchildren for long periods of time.  So we are working out a plan...

    Never RV'D before

    I agree with both of the previous respondents.  We own several classic cars and one day decided that we wanted to to be self contained  by pulling our trailer with a  Class C MH.  Long story short, 18 months later with two 32' Class C's and Class A 33' gasser under our belts we finally ended up...

    Hints, Tricks and Gadgets/Tools --- small ones.

    There were a couple of posts that mentioned that you could buy antenna reminders.  I thought this was a great idea and immediately went out to the web to purchase one.  Although the price was relatively cheap at 3.99 the shipping charges were outrageous at 8.60.  i just made one on my computer...

    What is more affordable? Boondocking with Generator OR campground fees?

    This might come off rude but if you have the funds to purchase a TT, truck and the gas money to travel cross country you should be able to come-up with the funds to feed yourselves.  I am going to quit before I write something that I regret....  you really don't want to hear my suggestions.
