RE: Financing New Travel Trailer - All I Should Know?
Interest rates right now are crazy! So hopefully you can find financing for around 4%.

RE: Concerns about golf cart roof in back of pick up
Find an airdeflector you can put on the top of the trucks roof to move the air up and over the golf cart. My neighbor a few blocks over has a full aluminum one for his 5th wheel.

RE: 2003 fiberglass TC not looking so good …now what?
If you really like it. Have it painted. Use a good sealer on the fiberglass and then whatever color for the paint. Wax will only last for a short time then it will go back to being chalky.
This is the best long lasting solution
The economics of it, aside, of course….
I was sorta thinking that someone who is rocking a 20 year old truck and camper combo may not want to spend as much to make it look nice as it is actually worth as it sits.
Especially when there are other good options.
Although this assuming the OP isn’t going to paint it themselves since they were looking for the easy button.
Maybe y’all don’t understand what it would cost?
Heck, just the prep work to paint would be roughly equivalent in time/cost as buffing it out. (Assuming it’s saveable).
I agree to have someone do it is t cheap. I just painted my golf cart that is a 1980. The fiberglass had to be completely restored, reglassed on the backside with resin, then regelcoated on the outside. The primed, sealed and painted with a 2 part system. In materials alone I have over $700. I’m sure if you are just going to use a sealer, then paint it with single stage that would be the most cost effective. If you can do it yourself it would be well worth it. If you have to pay to have it done then you are talking $$$$$$$ you would have to have a sentimental attachment to it to do that.

RE: Rant: recreation.gov
The problem is, it’s a park owned by the government (We The People) and they sold it out from under us to a privately owned firm that does what they want when they want. And we get screwed all the way around.
And don’t get me started on the fees they want to get into the parks that we are already paying for as well as the “now required because it’s a money maker” timed entry pass” at most NP’s!
And we should be happy that they allow us to enter our parks? Ya right.
As far as checking email? Anyone ever tried to do that on the road? No cell coverage or signals dropping out? Seriously!
Almost makes me happy for the private campground prices and site lock fees.
Ok rant over!
To make Dodge's point
Exactly! It makes me sick what has happened to the NPS and how it’s run!

RE: Motorhome/toad make trip down Teton Pass
These are probably the same people that say they don’t need Tow/Haul mode engaged or don’t like to downshift because the engine is too noisy or it will get damaged!

RE: From a class C to class A ??
Thanks to all that answered, I did know that the V-10 was a three valve and not a two valve, just saying that it was a gas Ford V-10. But I didn't think about the six speed transmission which i would want so need to up the year of the coach. All other points where well taken. There was a type-o mistake on my part as to the Tiffin 32TS should be 32SA, The coach"we would like" would opposing slides in the front, 1 1/2 Bath with master bath at the end of the coach after the bedroom. Slide out for the King size bed, bunk above the driver and passenger, (for the grand kids once in a while) Wife wants to be able to have access to bath and refridgator while traveling, outside tv and course the list could gone on. So we have a year or so to look which is always the fun part! Thanks again to everyone!
I have he 5 speed and my buddy has the 6 speed. When I got mine the 5 speed didn’t perform well compared to the 6 speed. Then I got a tune from 5star and that really changed he performance of the RV. It now drives as well as the 6speed. I am very happy with it.

RE: Class A Motorhome Gasser
Yes, keep looking. Water leak repairs are the worst! I stumbled across mine at a dealer, but I found info from the previous owner that he kept it stored indoors. And when I looked it over you can tell it was stored inside! I would keep searching. There are plenty of nice RVs out there that are well taken care of. I would even spend more on one that was stored inside.

RE: Duh! Only in Canada, eh.
I was all in until I see the pin! At least use a larger pin or better yet a pintle hitch! Otherwise I don’t see an issue with the rest of it!

RE: From a class C to class A ??
The V-10 in the C is the 2 valve version. The A is the 3 valve version. Not sure if the C ever got the 5 or 6 speed auto?
If you plan on living in it for a few months the bigger and more slides the better!

RE: Campground Opinion
We stayed at the Blue Ridge KOA. Nice Campground. we came from the west and the roads are not RV friendly. one of the roads that was supposed to take me to the KOA was listed as no longer than 30ft. my GPS kept showing it as the only route. i didnt know the area or the roads. i called the campground and hte lady had no idea as she was a work camper from the south. so i drove all the way around the north and came in from the east. turns out after i got there had i gone north from where i was another 20 miles i wouldve came in a way easier way. always keep a paper map with you.
but as ive come to find out, roads and highways in the eastrn states are not big rig friendly and were designed before semi trucks!
with all that i would stay at the KOA again. its a short drive to the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

RE: The buyers market
Would be nice if prices start dropping. But the interest rates are now ridiculous. My son is looking at newer cars and the rate with good-excellent credit is 7-8%. I have 4.5 on my Ram I bought 2 years ago!
So even if prices drop, the banks will take the difference.

RE: 30 Amp VS 50 Amp
When we had the TT I would run the AC, water heater and micro wave. Never had an issue that I’m aware of. Although not knowing is always better than knowing LOL. Never had any kind of EMS until now. Now that I have it I watch it.
If you switch the water heater to LP only then you should be fine. And if it’s hot out the compressor will only startup once eliminating the startup draw of the compressor.

RE: NYC suggestions
Thanks all! I did see the Liberty Harbor park. Would save us tolls but it’s $150 per night.
Ok thanks again for the info. I think I have what I need!
Must’ve went a bit! LOL. But it is the best location to see NYC. The ferry leaves right from the harbor. Or a short walk to another ferry. It’s a bit longer walk to the subway that takes you right to the World Trade Center site.

It’s not in NYC, but across the River in Jersey City is Liberty Harbor RV Park. It’s pretty much a parking lot, but very close to the train or ferry to NYC.

RE: What is the lowest voltage you have seen?
I’ve seen as low as 106V.
The highest I’ve seen was 129V, that’s when my EMS kicked in and shut everything down When I reset it, this was at 2 in the morning. the voltage was at 127. I watched it for 15min and it never went back up. Im assuming almost everyone’s AC shut off at the exact same moment LOL!
