Yes, there are many variables. Such as f you bring groceries in your RV and don't eat out, you save a lot on food cost.

Rear compartment of a 2018 Winnebage Aspect 30J

Unless you are planning on filling it with GOLD bars, I would not worry about it! 😁 -
Some C RVs have only a wood framed overhang. Our old (1994) Gulfstream Ultra C had a steel framed overhang. A metal one is probably much better as far as weight capacity goes.

In that case, you put those two items in the trunk of the towed vehicle! - hello?! -
NO Spare Tire In Smaller Class Cs These Days?

They can HAVE my box with sewage pipe if they are THAT desperate! 😁 As far as spare tire, it is easy enough to steal one from an RV back wall otherwise. It has no rim. -
I'm glad. For the next 10 days, we are expecting PERFECT weather - Highs 80-85, lows 60-65. 😁

Here is what it looks like mounted on RV. It is spare tire only (no rim) w/cover, and a storage box for sewage hoses & parts, rather than keep those smelly items in the RV's basement. I had to move my license plate, as it was blocked by rack items. I even lighted it! 😃 (to be perfectly legal). I used a license plate frame that was in the glove box for the front of the vehicle. -
Certainly! It sat on a dealer lot for about a year we bought it, and good thing it did, because the slide-out floor totally rotted out at close to a year after we got it. If we got it just after the dealer got it, it would have been past warranty, and we would have been SOL. It had all kinds of other problems too, and the dealer, working with the factory concluded it was too much for the dealer to handle, so the factory had it shipped all the way back to Indiana (from FL) for a complete go over & repair. It did not happen in a timely manner either. We were w/o our RV for 6 weeks. Even when we traded it in not that long afterwards, they found the back wall was starting to ROT too. 😡 BTW: It was a Sunnybrook by Winnebago.

We bought a 2013 brand new, and it was a POS!

2018 Thor 23TB Class C w/3.2L I-5 Powerstroke Diesel
aufgeblassen replied to aufgeblassen's topic in RV Photo Gallery
After my son brought it back, I got 19.9 MPG, so I thought it was more broken in, but I must have had a tailwind, because next tankful , I got 17-18 MPG. -
2018 Thor 23TB Class C w/3.2L I-5 Powerstroke Diesel

My son & family borrowed our new RV for its very 1st fairly long trip from S. FL to central SC (no mountains, only slight hills), and said he got an indicated 15 MPG at 60 MPH. Must have run into head or cross wind, as I got nearly 17 MPG on two separate short trips. -
Not so fast! We bought a brand new 34' 2013 Sunnybrook by Winnebago 5th wheel trailer It had so many problems in the 1st year under warranty, that were too much for the dealership to handle, that Winnebago ended up picking it up, and bringing it all the way back to factory in Indiana to fix the massive problems!!! 😫 It is not like they fixed it quick; we were w/o it for over a MONTH! 😧 Good thing it was a "leftover" at the dealership for about a year, because at nearly 2 years old (approaching end of 1 year warranty), the floor on the main slide-out rotted out big time! On a cross country trip, I was worried I would not be able to slide it in, due to swelling of the floor. Had we bought it when new on dealer lot, we would have been SOL, with it failing at nearly 2 years. We got rid of it, like 2 years later - good riddance!

You could always snake it thru your roof ladder, and connect it to itself. 😉😉😉 -
awning cleaning Jomax to clean rv awning
aufgeblassen replied to bhlutz1920's topic in Type C Motorhomes
I ordered that Crystal something or other (as advertised on TV) that they demonstrate for cleaning windows & screens (and a bunch of other stuff) by simply spraying on & rinsing off. I bought some for our RV awning, but I ended up trading in our RV for a new one, so I don't know how well it would work. I imagine quite well, but don't know. -
Use them! - by all means! If it is easier to, rather than aiming your valve stem better, whereby it cannot possible contact the rim.
