RE: Annual Spring Gathering @ Turning Stone, April 30-May1

Wow, what a surprise, I thought this was going to be the following week. I've got a non-negotiable conflict that next weekend, and was bummed that I was going to miss this, yet again. :(
Of course, now that it's a week earlier, I still have a conflict, but I think I might be able to resolve this one. A month or so ago, I made camping reservations to meet up with some friends. Turns out our agreed-upon meeting spot is at Turning Stone, in sites 601 and 603! What are the odds of that? :C
So we will be there, with our friends from Connecticut who were with us when we hooked up with your group two years ago (the ones who had the Cavalier puppies.)
I will have to check with them to see if they want to change sites to be with the rest of the group. But even if we keep the sites we have, we'll still be very close to you guys. (We'll be about the same distance away as we were two years ago - maybe about 400 feet.)
I hope it works out!

RE: Will you look at me funny at rally if I don't have Genturi?

Not only will they look at you funny they'll also point and talk about the guy too rude and cheap and putting everyone safety at risk.
So if you're asking if you need to buy one before you go, the answer would be YES!
Enjoy the Rally. :B

RE: Entry level DP best quality

A quick search turned up my higher-end choices at $179,000 or lower to compare:
2003 Foretravel U-320 (tag) w/2 Slides
2003 Country Coach Magna (tag) w/2 Slides
2002 Foretravel U-320 (tag) w/Slide
THAT'S what I am talkin about.
You can look at you newer "entry-level" coaches then compare to one of those Foretravels. Ask yourselve; how hard would it be to replace the water tank? What materials do they use for the plumbing? Does your entry level coach have a trans retarder and Hydronic heat? Call both factories and ask them if they can take out the dinette and add a PC workstation with a free-standing table and chairs.
You're going to have a hard time calling Country Coach, don't you think. :W

RE: Entry level DP best quality

It's a short drive, but HERE is one that offers everything you're looking for including a warranty. It's certainly worth a phone call to see what it could be bought for.

RE: 36 vs 40 Phaeton

If you want the 40' floor plan with the extra room, but the Phaeton does not have enough CCC capability, maybe you should keep looking till you find a motor home that has both of those attributes. Many do.
Heres a nice option, and I'll be it can be bought right too. :B

RE: MH roof material?

Your call.
We had a fiber-glas with no prolbems.
But now we have Brite-Tech which carries a 12 year warranty. I had some concerns in the beginning, but after being in some heavy rain/hail storms I would do it again. A lot less noise on the inside, and firmer to walk on. Now a fight with a tree limb, who knows and will try not to ever find out!! So far the sun/heat don't seem to have any effect.
There is a web site for 'Brite-Tech'.
Since you are from Ga. it has been in Douglas, Ga. many times.
Agreed. We're on our 3rd MH w/ Brite-Tek and can't think of a reason not to buy it again. Great roof, virtually maintenance free, super quiet, and tough.

RE: Newmar Mountainaire Ladder Question

That was the year (I believe) Newmar had the not-so-bright idea of having no ladders. Seeing as it's listed, it should be there, but I don't believe it was standard that year. Maybe an error in the listing?

One of the best places to buy a radio is also one of the best places to camp - Wal*Mart.

RE: Class A brands

Avoiding the gas vs diesel controversy I am more concerned with everyone's take on the quality of some of the manufacturers out there. I intend to buy a class A this year. Gently used. I have made my top three brand selections to include Winnebago, Newmar and Tiffin. Am I short changing myself by not including Gulfstream, Coachman or Monaco?
Opinions please.
I think you're right one the money. Those are 3 brands that enjoy a consistent good reputation. Why take a chance on another brand with an 80/20 reputation? Thats not saying the other don't make nice stuff - they do, but with the 3 you've chosen you are more than likely to get a good one.

RE: 5th Fall Friendship Gathering 9/25-27, 2009, Verona, NY

Speaking of dates...
With regard to the Spring Friendship Gathering in May at the Turning Stone, is that always Mothers Day weekend? (That would make it the weekend of May 7th, 8th & 9th this year.)
I'm starting to block off my weekends on the calendar.
Mark, we've been debating moving this to May 21-23rd, the weekend before Memorial Day. Mothers Day is tough for some, and later HOPEFULLY should offer better wheather. Nothing cast in stone yet, just debating it.

RE: TIRES Geostars or Double eagles?

Could it be Double Coin tire instead of Double Eagles? The Double Coin is also an import, I just can't remember where from. :h

RE: Allegro Bus or Zephyr or Essex

Question for the people that say Essex, what makes the Essex worth the extra 150K? I just can't see it.
Isn't it more like $50-75K? The base price of a loaded Essex is $527K.
Question for the people that say Essex, what makes the Essex worth the extra 150K? I just can't see it.
Its probably just brand loyalty blindness .
:h Didn't you say the Essex?
Hmmmm Since there isnt an A/C on the list my choice would be the Essex .
Well yes you did! :B:B:B
