    Complete roof system replacement on class a

    How long ago did you purchase?  Was there a witness to the salesman claim to nothing wrong?  Have you tried going back to them?  If you have a witness to the claims and dealer isn't willing to help, my next call would be to your states attorney generals office to see if they can help.  And...

    How many extension cords are safe?

    The quality of the insulation and the copper are also important.  Welding cable is made up of many small strands of copper wire and can handle more current than the equal gauge of solid wire.  Insulation has different qualities as well.  Your best cord would be to buy bulk cable from a supply...

    Is 270K miles too much to buy used?

    When do you plan to divorce?  At 21 feet there is no place to escape for two people.  I lived alone in a 28 footer and it was OK for just me.  I worked out of state with it and the girlfriend would visit every so often, it was too small for two people.  At 260k miles, it's due for another...

    Inverter knowledge

    If you are buying a 2019 class A with res. refer., it should all be set up with nothing to do as far as turning on an inverter.  Like others have said the inverter takes care of whatever the power source is.  We very seldom are on the batteries, 95% of the time the engine is running and or the...

    Fire escape From RVs -- Again

    I have thought about this quite a bit.  We have the escape window, and as far as I'm concerned it means dying in the fire or from the fall from a broken neck coming out of the window.  To make matters worse, if that is possible, there are things in front of the window.  Has anyone seen a good...

    Do you know how to recover when towing?

    The biggest cause is not enough tongue weight.  I know.  Without knowing any better I thought it would be a good idea to put more weight behind the axle to take the weight off the trailer hitch.  Bad idea.  Not only did it fishtail, it passed me on the freeway, and rolled off the road and down a...

    Inspection/apprasal on an older class A? where can you find one out of town?

    Mwhiz,  you might want to check out that CC Magna.  Very nice coaches.  Our final picks came down to the Dynasty and a Magna.

    Inspection/apprasal on an older class A? where can you find one out of town?

    Shouldn't be too much problem finding someone to inspect in Texas.  A mobile diesel repair shop would be a start.  But from my own experience I would not give too much weight to an inspector.  I used an inspector just south of Dallas, I would not use him again.  My question is what is the asking...

    Extended Warranties

    I have Phoenix America, through RVCare out of Texas.  As one service writer told, "they're no worse than the others".  Which I believe, they are ALL going to do everything they can to get out of paying for something.  The call center and customer service of Phoenix America sucks for the most...

    New tires on DP - 2" shorter than the old ones

    Did anyone at the tire shop happen to look at the chart on your coach for correct tire size?  Like someone said, the chart should be near the drivers seat.  Something doesn't sound right.

    Guns and ammo at Camping World

    I'll second the Bass Pro Shop being very proud of their stuff. $$$$$  The Springfield store is pretty nice though.

    used motorhomes

    I agree with the others and will add this; have some money set aside to fix/repair/replace things you or an inspector won't find.  Hopefully you won't find any expensive repairs needed.  We bought used, glad we did, and we went in with money in the bank to cover any problems.  As to brand...

    Advice Please!!!

    Stay away from the leaker.  The hidden damage could be serious.  You'll like the extra room of the other one.  Two persons can fill up a trailer rather quickly.  I lived/worked out of a 28 ft. years ago, it was fine for just me, but when my girlfriend came to stay at times it got a whole lot...

    RV Extended Warranty

    Aw yes, the extended warranty.  About "seals" being covered.  My coverage has that, however, the insurer has a strange definition of "seal".  To them all seals are "weather seals" which are not covered with our exclusionary policy.  As to being in the shop for 7 months, it means nothing.  If you...
