We have stayed three different times at the Havasu Falls RV Resort, very handy to the I95 in town. It is a PA campground so one night was always half price. For us it was usually on the way to or from Quartzsite, so it gave us a chance to properly clean up. The park was clean and well run. Sites...

Great photos, as usual, Tom. I never get over the vibrant colours. Thanks again for sharing with us. Dave  

This thread from last November covered these bad door locks and provided the links to fastek for free replacements. The swap out takes about 3 minutes.

Thanks carson. Thanks Wendy. Sure hope you see this FreddyF . There are so, so many of us that feel your pain. Some of us simply don't know what to say.

Not really sure this discussion is pointless in this forum. RV'ers are certainly not immune to bad manners, and if everyone is made aware of how inconsiderate it is to use their phone near others, whether that is a restaurant, Walmart, or walking down the sidewalk, maybe they simply wouldn't do...

Kinda hard to answer this honestly using your question. You ask us to answer based on cost not being the primary factor, yet you limit us to your spending limit of $250,000. If cost were not the primary factor' I would buy the newest, biggest, most luxurious Prevost available. If limited to...

vito55 If you don't have an aversion to German technology, you might consider a Mercedes GL350. It is a rather large SUV with a V6 Diesel engine and a towing capacity of 7500 lbs. I wouldn't own a pickup truck either, and there are many great NA SUV's, but they simply do not put diesels in...

sac9792 There is a clean park right at exit 303 of I-10.  It's called Oaks 'N Pines RV campground. Not a whole lotta stuff happening, but clean and quiet. There is no pool or activities, but that also means no children, and that suits us just fine. It is a Good Sam and PA park, so appropriate...

Chipd I second the suggestion of Dan680fl. Our Sprinter came with the factory installed ESPAR heater. It runs off of the diesel tank and sips very little fuel. It actually heats the engine coolant (178f) and then turns on the heater blower to the lowest speed. It also has a built in timer which...

Love TV. Have never had too much of TV. 1st. thing I do when we hit a camp ground is set up the HD DTV satellite.  Gotta have all the premium channels, ie:FX, HBO, Star Choice etc. Do not use any of the download sites. Do not watch DVD's. Need Live Networks. History Suks ! We walk our dogs and...

Jim Thanks for the link. I followed up on this early in November after your post. Fastec were great. Sent me both lock cylinders, deadbolt and main, with clear instructions and a tool for removal and installation. They even sent me a postage paid envelope to facilitate the return of the old...

My 1st JEEP was a Willys.

Chip One of the major reasons I bought my Mercedes Sprinter, 300,000 miles ago was the paddle shifter. I gear down constantly, exactly the same  way I would if it had a manual clutch. I always gear down prior to braking unless there is a great urgency, and find the engine really helps stop me...

Dave Just grasping at straws here, but could the power button or reset button be stuck in? Sounds like as soon as it sees power, it trys to turn on and then something within is turning it off. Have you tried removing the batteries from the remote just in case the power button on the remote is...

Holding down the coolant temperature is exactly what the rad cap is designed to do. Water boils at 212f only at normal sea level atmosphere of 14.7 psi. With a functional rad cap you are effectively raising the pressure within the rad. A simple increase of 6 psi raises the boiling point to 228f...
