RE: What the heck? I thought motorhomes lost value fast!!
You are correct. Prices are not in line with value. Look at a teardrop. 5x8 with no shower or toilet, outside kitchen with ice chest. Had been selling new 8-11 grand. They are now over 20. Used they demand 17500. Someone is going to be stuck with a bag. Seriously upside-down. Same thing is happening to the housing market.
RE: Article on Rivian Electric half ton. Charging network.
I can see it now the dorks will be trying to figure out how to make it make noise and smoke. The price of playing cards and clothes pins will go up. The dorks offspring will be trying to find the catalytic converter and will finally just saw into the main power line. All of this while the fights are going on over the power pedestal.
RE: DirecTV Spinoff Announcement
We also switched from Direct after being with them over 20 years. More channels less cost. Much better equipment. Now have recorder on all boxes. Larger hard disk. Also more options and less expensive to take on road.
RE: Chevrolet exits all ICE production by 2035
Just because they are out of ICE production doesn't mean they won't use them. They have used other peoples engines in the past.
RE: Newbie boondockers left a mess in Eastern Sierra
Require a 8 hour training class and issue a identification card as proof of attendance. Required for anyone over 10 years of age.. Fund additional staff requirements with a $10 fee for 3 days camping. Enforce laws on books and any funds derived from fines used for above. Encourage clubs such as Good Sam to help clean after the slobs.
RE: Champion dual fuel generator, convert to nat gas?
It is my understanding that nothing other than piping in natural gas. The change will have a slight effect on watts produced vs fuel consumption.
RE: Short Term Freezing Weather Tips?
Disconnect and drain hose after filling fresh water tank. Operate off fresh water tank while freezing. Open cabinet doors to allow heat to get to pipes. Run water heater to heat water in tank. Make sure propane tank is full. Run small electric heater to supplement coach heater. Pull slides in if possible to use coach while in. Empty black and grey tanks. Camped as low as 12 degrees Fahrenheit.
26 is not really that cold but you never know , it is expected to be 15 here.
RE: Not a good year to visit Glacier NP
What with all the applications for unemployment it would seem that labor shortages all over the country wouldn't exist.
RE: New satellite dish
Dish TV has a dish with two receiver connections. It can be mounted on the RV or used as a portable. It is HD.
Why would I want to put all the parts together when I can have a dome and two Wally for about $450. His product appears to cost over$1000.
Dish TV while traveling
we currently have Dish TV. We can use Dish Anywhere with our unlimited data cellphone to view Dish programming on our TV in the camper. No additional cost involved.
Other than areas where there is no cell signal what is the pros and cons of this method rather than a satellite dish and a Wally? Additional cost of buying the dish and Wally and $5-7 per month.
RE: Shopping for a Jeep Wrangler... maybe?
It is my understanding that there are some 2 wheel drive Jeeps. It is also been said that the 2 wheel drives are not towable 4 down as they don't have a transfer case. We currently own a 2016 Rubicon Hardrock and have owned 4 others in the past. Having said that I have never seen a 2 wheel drive Jeep.
Just be aware.
RE: taking your RV on a boat down the Mississipi to New Orleans
There are tons of barges and tow boats in this area that could be used for this purpose. Liability issues and regulations is what brought this business to It's knees. Since we have plenty of car and truck ferries it is not impossible to overcome the so called 6 person limit. By the time the total investment was made few if any wanted to pay the bill. Tow boats have to sTay busy to make money.
