    Sad Day - Sold Our MH

    It is a sad day but due to health concerns we decided to sell our 2020 Entegra Esteem 27U. We put it on consignment at a place in Alvarado, TX and three days later it sold. Even after paying the consignment fee, we were about $1K ahead of what we paid for it new.

    Weber Q1200 Portable Propane Grill with Griddle and Stand

    This little grill can cook just about anything and helps keep food odors out of your coach. Uses the small 1 lb propane bottles you can get just about anywhere. One bottle lasts us about seven days of breakfast and dinner. Griddle cooks eggs, bacon, sausage perfectly and our steaks were great...

    Cat CJ1000cp Portable Air Compressor and Emergency Start

    Great piece of equipment I used the first time we went out. Tire was low so used the unit to add 12 PSI to a tire. Bought this since my TOAD would not start at a park on the Mississippi one day and had to use CoachNet to get it started. I don't like to wait so these work perfectly and the...

    Tire Minder Smart TPMS with Six Sensors. Instructions, spare batteries included.

    Tire Minder Smart TPMS is fantastic. Used it on our 2020 Class C to monitor the two front and four rear tires. Saved us from a blowout on the second use as we got a warning of low pressure then increased temp. Pulled over and found the tire very low. Called roadside and they found the adapters...

    DISH Tailgater 4 Satellite Dome, Adjustable King Tripod, Wally Receiver and Remote

    We sold our MH for health reason but just outfitted our 2020 Entegra Esteem with everything. These all work perfectly on the Eats coast and the West coast. So nice to have familiar channels and operation when away from home. Everything new (6 months ago) over $600. Will sell all for $400...

    TOAD Electrical Question/Advice

    We use our 2020 Entegra Esteem 27U to tow our 2014 Ford Explorer. We flat tow it with a single limitation that the car must be run 15 minutes after 6 hours of towing. It appears the primary reason is to charge the battery. I have a Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 All-Terrain tow bar with a Roadmaster...

    Is extemporaneous camping over?

    Along with the increase in RVers I've seen a big rise in the number of new RV Parks between Texas and Arizona (our last trip). Most are small, Mom and Pop affairs but they look new, clean and relatively unused. Maybe they aren't in any on-line databases yet....

    What would you use?

    Eastwood.com sells spray can rust encapsulator and spray can undercoating that I use for all my car restorations. The first neutralizes the rust while the second provides a very tough coating to help combat the rocks and such of the road.

    On Demand vs 10 gal tank Water Heater

    Our 2020 Entegra Esteem 27U has a water heater that runs off propane or electric, auto switching and it has a 10 gal tank. We have never boondocked and use RV parks with electrical service when we travel. With that usage profile, would I be better off with an on-demand water heater? Anybody made...

    RV extended warranties

    I bought all the extra warranties when I bought my first coach. It came with a 2 year warranty so the five year plan I bought was a waste for the first two years. I cancelled all of them within 5 months. Cost me $25 to cancel each of the four policies but the savings is dramatic. I though they...

    Looking at Purchase of 2017 Holiday Rambler Navigator 36U. Input Requested.

    Interested in this 2017 Navigator coach and wondered if anyone had any input on general quality, maintenance, service issues, etc. Also comments on design and operation. Any input appreciated. Currently own a Class C so being a bit cautious on a used DP.

    Has Covid Vaccine Arrived in Your Area Yet?

    I've had both of  my doses of the Pfizer vaccine since I am a volunteer fire fighter. No reactions other than a little soreness at the injection site like every other vaccination I've had in 21 years in the military. Feel great and would advise anyone that can get one, get it.
