    Are EZ Lube Hubs Worth It vs Full Bearing Service at $750?

    I have a GD Imagine 2950RL with tandem axles. Last year I had the wheel bearings repacked and the brakes and related items inspected. It cost $750, which I thought was a bit steep. I am considering just utilizing the EZ Lube hubs this year, which I did with our previous TT without any problem...

    Diesel Oil Change Costs: Dealer vs DIY and Canadian Pricing

    From another thread, it looks like pricing of oil changes in a diesel motor is all over the map.

The oil change...

    Re-thinking the RV life

    When we got the Dancer, it was a bit of a compromise. Margo didn't like the Class A. She was nervous about the whole world speeding by with just a piece of glass between her and the world out there, rushing by. Don't get me wrong. It's a nice rig. But now, I'm not sure I need all that space...

    Mpg cost

    I have been looking at replacing my 2023 f150 powerboost for a bigger bed. I currently have a 5.5' bed. A 6.5' bed would fit my bicycles towing. Now I have to load them in back seat when towing. Plus a longer wheel base truck would be more stable towing but you need to go 2500 in ford and...

    Why Are RV Pantry Shelves So Expensive? Real-World Workarounds

    We recently had one of those “you’ve got to be kidding me” RV moments. All we wanted was two additional shelves for our Dynamax Isata 5 pantry — nothing fancy, just the same light grey coated wood shelves that came with the rig (11” x 18”).
