I have a 2004 30' Monaco Monarch.  I purchased it back in Feb of this year (2010) and after my first trip of any distance, felt a lot of "float" in the rear while going over I-64 in WV.  I took it to Dsuban Spring Service in the Cincinnati suburb of Springdale. I had Tony, the owner, evaluate...

I just ordered the Nuvi 465T from TheGPSStore.com.  I think it will be worth the $300 plus if it keeps me from tight spots. Thanks for the replies and your help everyone! Steg

I currently have a Garmin Nuvi 260.  It has Car, Motorcycle, and Pedestrian routing.  I would imagine that truck routing would keep me from giving the RV a haircut under a low clearance.  What are you folks using?  Is there an RV setting on any GPS units out there? Thanks in advance Steg

I'm looking at the same thing.  I just took the first long trip and the curves on I-64 through West Virginia made me nervous.  I felt like I might roll when taking them at the posted slower speed going into the curves.  I'm going to start with an alignment check tomorrow and maybe beefier shocks...

Has anyone out there got current information on whether or not Michelin XZE Highway 245/70 19.5 Tires are good? I have tires that are 6 years old (came with the RV that I purchased in February) and want to replace them for safety. The local Tire Discounter store has them at $400 each mounted...

Thanks to all of you.  That helps.  I'm familiar with measuring draw etc. from my Electricians mate days in the Navy.  We won't be here all Winter this year unless something prevents us from traveling and getting away from the gray skies that hang around all Jan and Feb.

I did confuse the terminology.  What I'm concerned about is keeping the house batteries charged during storage.  Here in Cold Spring KY(10 miles south of Cincinnati) we get periods of cold damp weather and unpredictable amounts of snow.  This makes it difficult for me to get to the storage...

I have a 2004 Monaco Monarch and plan to store it between trips at an enclosed lot that has no power source at each site.  I would like to hear about solar chargers that I could install to maintain the chassis batteries (6 Volt).  Most of the solar panel that I see are for 12 volt systems.  Does...

My brother and I along with some friends rented an RV in Anchorage and fly fished the Kenai.  I recommend Deep Creek, the Ninnilchik River and the Anchor River for salmon.  Check on the timing of the runs up river.  We all caught our limit of silvers on the Ninnilchik. I would avoid the "honey...

It sounds like CoachNet is a safe choice.  I think that is what we'll wind up with.  All the responses are much appreciated. Steg

I'm trying to decide whether the FMCA or Good Sam club is better for roadside assistance.  Please let me know the pros and cons of those two and any others out there. Thanks! Steg

Thanks to all of you (almost said you-all but I live in NORTHERN Kentucky, we don't do that). As usual you are a great help. Steg

What do you recommend for chemical use?  I see in the Camping World ads a ton of gray/black water additives and enzymes

Thanks everyone. Steg

If you use the toilet and shower while underway and then stay at a full hookup location, do you dump the tanks at a dump station or does the hookup allow for draining the holding tanks? Thanks for your help to a real rookie. Steg
