RE: Can a one-eyed driver handle a Class A?
I would think that driving one would be no different than a C or any other large vehicle. can you manage that? plus you could have the advantage of rear & side view cameras, etc.

I guess you should have taken it to a Winnie dealer for repairs.

RE: Speeds with Toad??
If you don't believe it, just watch what a hot-headed hot-rod will do when they are stuck behind traffic that's slower than what they want! :E
I am glad to know that idiot who obviously just left Talladega and was going down 459 E of Birmingham who passed everybody on the shoulder was not stupid, he was upset with the rest of us driving the speed limit. When I got my first motorhome I kept the pedal to the metal, trying to keep up speed even up the hills, then I started towing the Tracker with the 50-55 mph speed limit and discovered how relaxing it was and could enjoy the scenery. No "being scared" at speed involved, just common sense.

RE: What Camper should I get?
Caveman,
I agree that a 950 would be nice, and the dealer here has one on order. He also quoted me 37K for it :E Wow! That quote is a joke! I'm thinking you can get one with pretty much all of the options for the MSRP of the base unit. And that's with a custom order. If you can find one on a lot, probably less. So I'm thinking $24k for a 950S.
I would guess good luck on that $24K unless you have a desperate dealer trying to unload. as I said that 830 that listed at $30K (so I was told) and he had this big special at $23K makes me think that a 950 would have to list for a whole lot more?

RE: What Camper should I get?
There is OERV on 81 in Falling Springs WV. When I drove past there last month they had plenty of rigs on the lot
that is the dealer that had the 830 for $23K today. they didn't have very many TCs however. that 830 had the canvas drop out in back bed.

RE: Coachmen Freelander 21QB
yep, if money was no object, that Winnie class A on a mercedes chassis interests me. But it is the only small Class C I found with "good" outside storage.

My Coachmen FX21QB has great storage. Not only do you have this huge compartment but there are bins that you can put other stuff in inc a spare tire. Even under the table there are bins. Plus there is a compartment behind the driver's door for tools, electrical stuff and windshield cover etc...

did yours come standard with those white covers over the "holes" in the bottom of that compartment? the one I didn't have didn't have those.

RE: Speeds with Toad??
IIRC my tracker said to tow at 50 or 55. I got in the habit of towing below 60 and it was amazing just how much more relaxing driving at that speed was. also mileage was much better.
bumpy It also makes the road safer for the rest of us.
hey, I might be a bad driver, but I'm not that bad. :)

RE: Buying a used Class A
if that has the 93 chevy P-30/32 do a search. and for the later years, don't just rely on the "workhorse" name, IIRC they just rebadged the P-30 as WH for a while.

RE: Purchase-Registration-taxes
You can get by with a lower price but if it's to low most states will go to the blue book and charge at least low retail for taxes.
most states ignore what you put down and go by blue book, etc. in my experience.
Now if you are including a bunch of equipment, etc. that was not really part of the RV, I can see, and have excluded that in the amount.

RE: Noobie with another questioned - Sat related
don't know anything about these fancy dome thinggys but I certainly don't think that the dome/dish is "married" to a receiver. special settings are required however, hopefully somebody will give you the magic information. do you have dish or direct and do you want HD?

RE: Dish Network vs Directv
somebody has posted here before that for dish you can set the skew at one setting and it is good for most of the lower 48. don't know the accuracy of that statement, nor the setting however.

RE: Coachmen Freelander 21QB
thanks, you remind me of a trip I had to Gulf Stream a bunch of years back. asked about the water pump location for installing a winterizing thingy and they couldn't locate it. got a builder out from the line and he couldn't find it.
there was a locked standard small door on the side you had to open and inside that was just a metal cover screwed on. had to remove that to get to pump.
lack of winterizing suction hose would be inconvenient however.

RE: I need some help with all these towing numbers
Have you ever bought a 4 man raft for 4 men? A 6 man tent for 6 men?
A tow vehicle / trailer combo at their max is usually similar with the suv or 1/2 ton rigs - uncomfortable ... imho.
a good point, my 4 man hot tub is about right for two folks of different sex, if you both are nekkid.
