RE: Truckers Atlas ~ Best ~ most preferred
Rand McNally 2019 Truckers--I found it to be almost workless because of the yellow/orange highlighting of the truck routes. This obscured just about all the other detail on the map. And there isn't that much detail in the first place. This map would be fine if all you are interested in is following a truckers route. But for many RVers who want to deviate from those paths you are better off with a better atlas.
Get RV Trip Wizard or other planning software that marks and avoids hazards on the trip. You put in your rigs height and length and it adjusts the route accordingly.
That was a trucker bible before GPS. It's still a good reference for larger RV's, if that class 8 truck at 80,000 can go so can your RV. It has all the info you need if you know how to read a map. Yep GPS is faster but the old ways still work.

RE: Window Haze
Recently bought a Class A and most of the windows seem to be double paned and they have a really bad white haze..Does anyone know of a way to get it off without replacing the whole window?
Is the fog inside or etched glass outside? I have had luck polishing glass with a buffer and jewelers rouge.

RE: Traveling to Austin from Las Vegas
Right now all roads are good, winter go south as quick as you can, Google maps is your friend.
BB_TX have you been to Fredericksburg lately? I went through on a weekend, big mistake, Fredericksburg was a zoo. Fredericksburg has become a big tourist trap and every other business is a micro brew, Google may know that, so the detour around town.

Replace existing port with a deck plate thru floor that you can cover when not in use. Small one just for hose.

RE: Carlsbad Caverns NM
Chosa Campground south, free camp area no facilities, day or two. Sun West or Buds, full hookups. Get reservations like it's been said the oil fields are booming. Scratch Whites as a dump unless you want very convenient because it's close to the Cavern entrance. If your have time stay for the night flight, educational talk by the rangers and amazing.

RE: Leveling Jack Pads
For heaves sake, I don't need to put my "Stabilizer Jacks" down so hard as to lift the rig off of the ground. A short 2X6 or a extra plastic leveler block is all I need. I'm not planning on keeping it stable during a earthquake. And, of the girlfriend and I are rocking it around a bit I don't care who cares.
But, to each their own.
Some of us have levelers, not stabilizers. Mine can easily lift the tires off the ground.
Not recommended. I do use a stack of legos to shorten the legs, the shorter the less wobble.

RE: Myrtle Beach, SC to Quartzsite, AZ in January
We are going to be making the trip from the Myrtle Beach area to Quartzsite, AZ in January. We will be taking route 10 west. If any of you have made this drive, how long did it take you to get there. We are in no hurry to arrive at our destination. We would also like to make some stops along the way. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Dale
Driving 50 or 80, TX has legal speeds of 85MPH, NM & AZ 75. Hours driving? I'm retired so 200-250 and I'm done.

RE: Replacing Thethrod toilet with Dometic
I just did this last month. The Dometic 310 fit right on the flange the Therford had been on. You'll love the Dometic, uses a bit more water but water in the black tanks your friend. While you have the toilet out, put a shark bite shut off it the supply line. My Therford went TU on a weekend so I had to shut water off to the entire 5W. Won't happen again with the shut off.

RE: MH accident in gas station!
I can't walk & climb stars so I bought a Class A. Past time for licensing to drive something this large. Most states all you need is a drivers license. How many know how to do an air brake test? Hoe many actually do? It ain't like driving your Prius like 1320fastback said.

RE: Ford 6.7L 1050 ft lbs TQ at 1,600 rpm, 475 HP at 2,800 rpm
Except when it comes time for repairs; the 7.3L will cost much less than most everything on the 6.7L.....;)
Could be but my diesel mechanic said he has never had a 6.7 apart for repairs, just maintenance and to make stuff fall off.

RE: Ford 6.7L 1050 ft lbs TQ at 1,600 rpm, 475 HP at 2,800 rpm
I started with a 1999 SD, 2000 SD,2006 SD, and current 2015 SD, each has been an improvement over the prior and the 2015 by far the quietest and pulls the best. Loved my 7.3's but they just don't compare to the 6.7.
