    The epitome of capitalism

    Now that I am old, 75, I have to admit when I was young and worked 5 days a week and most stores closed at 5pm and only open on Friday nights and Saturday. Closed on Sunday.  it was pretty inconvenient for me to do much shopping. I kind of liked it when stores started staying open on Sunday and...

    Backing a tow vehicle

    You can't drive a compact car 2/3 of your life then jump in a 40 ft MH towing a toad and expect to be a expert driver over night. You will only learn with practice. Get the rig and tow vehicle and practice. It will come with practice.

    Thinking about a Tailgater??? Pros / Cons???

    If you are a GS member you can get that tailgater system from CW for $450. If you aren't  GS member just go to Amazon and get it for $415.50. Same system. ;D

    Low air alarm

    Except if the alarm is always going off you will tend to ignore it. What happens if it all of a sudden isn't a gauge problem but a real problem occuring? Especially on a wet hwy at 65 mph. I would get the problem repaired. JMHO

    Auxiliary braking systems for Toads

    Wyoming doesn't require toad brakes but it is good to have them anyway. Plus I need them if I enter a state that requires them. There are many brands on the market. I use the Blue Ox Patriot. I can set the sensitivity in my MH. I do run a charge line to my toad battery through a diode.

    Your opinion please - prebuy inspection on new motorhome??

    Whoa nellie. Never owned a MH before? Hopefully you owned some sort of RV before. Jumping into high dollar MH and never owned a RV before then admitting you are inexperienced in that area is a little scary.

    25 Amp fuse blown - where to get this odd duck!

    Had the same problem. I went into a Walmart and bought a cheap plastic box and all the fuses I needed to fill it including 25 amp. I now carry 5 of each size. Some Walmarts may not carry  all sizes. Most of the truck stops carry many fuse sizes.

    Coach Net or Local Tire service?

    You should have a thumper. Almost every truck stop sells them. I check at every rest stop when traveling. The tire? I guess it depends where you live. I am in a farm community. Tire dealer comes out all the time to change tractor tires. They replace huge tires in the field. No problem. I would...

    Financing an RV, Length of Loan in Years

    Difficult for me to pay cash for a vehicle when I got a 4.2%  loan, get a tax break and collecting 6% dividends on my AT&T stock + going up in value.. If that money was sitting in a CD that would be different. Actually paying cash usually only works for non investors.

    Heater at night

    Just seems like if I wasn't using all the the things thst came with my RV why would I haul them around. If I wanted to rough it I could carry a tent in my trunk. If I was concerned about my prooane furnace being safe I would have it bench tested and checked for safety.
