    Planning to visit the Grand Canyon in Sept./Oct. this year. We will be traveling from central Fl. and need as much information about length of time for traveling and places to visit along the way. We are traveling in a class A motorhome. We also plan to go to Bryce and Zion while in the area. We are retired and not in a hurry.

    Planning same trip from Tampa in May/June. I’m using RV Trip Wizard which was recommended by friends.

    We are planning trip from Florida out west this summer. Part of trip will be from Williams Az to Arches National Park. The only two roads are either US89 or US191 from Az through Utah.   Can anyone suggest which road is more RV friendly? Have 32’ Winnebago. Either road offer wide roads and less switchbacks?  I’m not much for hanging over the side of drop offs.

    These are always interesting threads as most advocate for what they have. 

    First question, what is wrong with the RV that you have? 

    Are you still in St Petersburg Fl.? I would have been up to the RV supper show in Tampa to look at all the new toys.

    You said "I have seen articles of you don’t use diesel a lot you have problems." Well this can be true with the fuel blended with Biodiesel. It will degrade faster than strait diesel #2. But the same thing can happen with gas coaches with the alcohol blend. Both can be controlled with the proper additives.  With gas or diesel you should run the generator under load for 2 hours each month. So no real disadvantage either way. I wouldn't start either type of coach unless you can drive it for about 50 miles or so to get everything warmed up.

    Well I think you are looking for justification to move up to a diesel coach.😉

    I would look at a hire level used coach. Save some money and have most of the bugs worked out.

    Bill, thanks for input. The Tampa RV is exactly why we are thinking of upgrading. Lol. Got real close but backed out at last second on buying new.  Everything I have read, heard from others is don’t buy new. Thanks

    I know this has been a topic previously but trying to get fresh input. We are considering buying new class a. The main issue is to buy gas or diesel?  
    I have seen articles of you don’t use diesel a lot you have problems.  We are not full timers but want to take trip(s) out west occasionally.  Any comments?

    tcisodar, welcome to the forum. Have you looked at using golf cart batteries instead of the   Marine/RV Deep Cycle? They are real deep cycle and you can usually get more  capacity in the same space. Where are you? $150.00 labor to just change out the batteries does  seam a little steep.

    Bill, 

    St Petersburg Fl.   Thought about golf cart but I need 4 and don't have that much room.  Original set up was 2  12V and starter battery.  First RV so new experience.

    I'm in process of changing out original batteries that can with 2016 Sunstar we recently purchased/used. Winnebago install 2 Dual Purpose batteries for house.  Everything I have read recommends using True Deep Cycle batteries for house.  Trying to convince RV shops of this is surprising. They all recommend Marine/RV Deep Cycle. Anyone have any recommendations?

    I understand after changing batteries I must reset the Invertor? Trying find directions to do that.  Shops want over $150 to just change out the batteries.
