RE: Zoning Law
From a contractor I ask about putting 2 RV pads in the back of my house. He said one for the storage / parking of my motor home would be ok. But the second one I wanted to use for quests would probably violate zoning as it was zoned for single family housing. So one was ok not 2. If there is a pad there someone obviously parked one there one time or another. Were I you I’d try i it and wait for someone to tell me I was wrong.

RE: Atwood Levelegs
My Atwood jacks are history.. just received word that they have been removed and HWH hydraulic jacks installed and that they work ”beautifully”. Will pick up my coach next Monday. I’m excited. For the first time in 12 years I will no longer worry about wether I can leave when I’m ready to travel. I never liked the Atwood’s. Bought the coach new and one jack was replaced under warranty before I ever left town. Have had 4 other coaches over the years and each had HWH jacks and never had one problem with them. Hope I have same experience with these.

RE: Rio Grande Village RV Campground in Big Bend NP
Not sure how many times I’ve heard that the RV park is just an asphalt parking lot. That’s true but no one mentions that the area immediately behind each spot is a relative nicely grassed area with trees nand picnic tables. At least it was when last I was there.

RE: 2012 Thor Avanti Diesel
I also am not familiar with this model, but don’t think it is a diesel pusher. May be a diesel but sure looks like the engine is in the front.. could be a front engine diesel which would make considerably more engine noise than a pusher and probably more noise than a gas engine

RE: Atwood Levelegs
I have off and off trouble leveling and retracting my level legs for about two years. Have cleaned all connections, found that engine on fast idle helped and many times I had to recycle them numerous times to get them to retract. Last trip I had to lay in a mud puddle to retrace one jack so we could travel. In another 2 weeks I will have lots of spare parts as my new HWH leveling system is being delivered to my dealer as I write this. It’s not cheap but I’m sick and tired of not knowing if I’m leaving when I want to or if I’m going to play with jacks. It will be the last time I have to lay in the mud to get the jacks up. Call HWH they’ll instal a new system or sell and deliver to a capsbile dealer. Won’t be cheap but it will be good

RE: Mobile Detailing - Tucson Az
I don’t know any but I would think any of the dealers there would know of someone. In fact from some time ago I remember that freedom RV would wash and wax. It wasn’t cheap then and don’t know if they still do even that

RE: roadside service providers
I’ve had coach net for nearly 20 years, used them 3 times and always excellent service. I ask one of the service providers who responded to my roadside emergency if he worked with just coach net. Said no, he worked for all of them. He said from his prospective coach net was the best because they paid him faster and was just easier to work with.

RE: Southside RV Park Tucson, AZ
The base has parking with no hook up one can use while you are on a waiting list for a full hook up site. If you don’t mind boon docking for a couple of days you might try this. I would call them to make sure you can get a dry site.

RE: Leaking door on house-thoughts?
Make sure that slope around the entire house is away from the house.. water can go many directions underground if it is not “ managed” away from the house. If need be consider gutters and down spouts.

RE: The best Wranglers for towing?
Assuming you can tow a Jeep, go to a dealer and check them out. If you will ever want to have more than the driver and one passenger, the answer is easy. Don’t ever expect an adult to climb into the back seat. So get a four door..

RE: Time to hang up the keys...(consignment ?)
I’m in about the same position. A year away from 80 and wondering how long I can or will want to keep traveling in it. Bought mine new. Talked to owner of the dealer where purchased and ask if they would buy back when I’m finished. He said he would try to talk me into consignment as that would get me “ more money” but would buy it if that’s what I really wanted. I’m thinking when I am ready to “get out” I want out and will take just about whatever offer I can get the fastest to get out. Don’t want to mess around with it.

RE: Evolving Canines, de-evoloving people?
Why would anyone even want to take their dog to one of those California cities. I don’t ever expect to visit one again and I guarantee I wouldn’t take my dog to one of them.

RE: Knee Pain
I take the glucosamine. Started taking it about about 30 years ago when my “good” knee started hurting. It quit hurting and I’ve taken it ever since but I have no idea if that’s why the pain stopped.

RE: used Ventana, good, bad, ugly?
if Taken care of you will be hard put to find a better motor home than any Newmar product. And yes it is/ was their entry level coach , but it may also have many options that some of higher line coaches have. Depends on hoe it was originally ordered and built.

RE: Truck bed liner on roof
I read an article where an individual put the bed liner material on the roof and over the radius of the side down to the awning rail. It was to go on the area where the clear coat had deteriorated. He bought a kit with truck bed liner material, the material was made specifically to roll on and came in a variety of colors to closely match the color of the coach. The kit included thinner, and rollers to use. It included literally everything needed to apply it along with instructions not to use any other.. it specified two coats , the second applied shortly after the first.. the picture he included looked pretty good. He did it because his coach was about ten years old, he didn’t want to spend the money to have it done professionally. Looked like a great idea to me. My coach has had the clear coat redone and it needs to be done again. I don’t have the info on the supplier as I write this but am very tempted to try it.

RE: Furnace Cycles
I always thought that not to be normal, but mine does the same.. Dealer tech says normal. Had a friend with different brand of coach. His did same. Not sure what is right but mine has been working that way for 11 years. I just don’t worry about it anymore.

RE: Jeep towed discharged when towing. This is new.
I’ve towed 3 different jeeps and a Chevy 1500 truck for a total of 23 years. Have always used the standard old brake buddy and have never run down the towed vehicle engine battery. Always made sure I had. Good battery, unplugged the brake buddy at nite when stopped traveling. And made sure the brake buddy would hold the air pressure unless activated.. totally uncomplicated.
