    Where/how to start looking for first (and low cost) RV?

    Welcome to the Forum! You might try PPLMotorhomes website.  They are located in Houston TX.  My son purchased his 5er there and was very happy with them.  I purchased my Itasca from a private owner for the NADA book value, but usually they are priced higher then the book. Wayne

    ONAN GENERATOR NOT STARTING PLEASE HELP!

    My BGE Emerald is doing the exact same thing.  I contacted Onan on-line and they led me to believe the problem is with the ignition module. Here is their response: It is pretty long but may be helpful for you.  I haven't had an opportunity to try any of the suggestions yet, maybe this weekend...

    TRANSMISSION

    It appears that you have a 2003 Ford F-53 frame, not sure what transmission, but I would check with the local Ford Dealer to see about servicing it. Wayne

    Ford V-10 strong enough for 30 ft Class A?

    I agree, we have a 1999 with the 2 valve V10 in our 37 footer, just got back from a trip from the Gulf to Wisconsin towing our Chevy 3/4 ton PU on a dolly.  Love the way it purrs on the highway.  Only place I notice a lack of power is when you get in the hills, then it likes to downshift and rev...

    Any Bikers?

    IMHO If you want a bike for an investment or status, then Harley is the choice, if you want it for price and dependability, try one of the Japanese models.  I chose the latter and ride the Honda VTX 1800C, stock 105 hp -0-108 in 12 sec. but mine is chipped and has competition pipes and does a...

    Tow Dolly Suggestions

    I agree with the check the straps regularly suggestion.  I just arrived back from a short run to Warrenton, TX and back (400 mi) and after the first 30 miles or so I stopped to check things out and found that one of my straps had slipped over the side of the tire.  I was towing a 2000 Chevy 3/4...

    Advice on route

    At present there is a lot of road work in Texas between Beaumont and Lake Charles, LA.  But after that I10 has just received a new overlay so it is pretty smooth going until just past Lafayette, LA.  about 20 miles of not really bad just enough to be irritating.  I think from the Atchaflaya to...

    winnebago winnebago gas mileage

    It really depends on how you drive, and the terrain.  Our recent trip to Wisconsin averaged 7.2 mpg.  I stayed mostly on older US hwys and tried not to drive over 60 mph, just to see if I could get the most of my 1999 Suncruiser 37' 6.8L V10.  My worst gas mileage was in Ark. and Missouri where...

    Hi from Southwest Louisiana

    Ok,  I didn't know about the "second owner" stuff, I will take care of that.  We just stumbled on this forum, I was searching for more information on the MH and it came up in the search.  Glad I found it.  It has already been a blessing.  I have joined it and the iRV2 forum, both have a lot of...

    Hi from Southwest Louisiana

    We are Linda and Wayne, we are new to MH'ing, but not to RV'ing.  We just purchased our first, a 99 Itasca Suncruiser 37'.  We love it and are getting used to the nuiances of it.  Our first road trip was to central Wisconsin, loved it!  Not too proud of the gas mileage (7.2mpg) but still not bad...
