Two things I'll point out, Carl.
First, "she" was driving.
Second, we were in the Big Bend "area" between Study Butte and Alpine where the speed limit is 70+ mph most places.
There is too much beauty to drive faster than 45 mph while in the park, plus, there are a few dips than can be interesting even at that speed.

I would like to pass along a comment from some new motorhome and new members of FMCA.
"If we had read the forum on FMCA about letting towables become members we would have never joined."
I can't help but wonder if FMCA is not getting some new members because they are reading this forum.

Unfortunately for the other manufacturers, we drove the Newmar first. I was tremendously disappointed in both the quality and workmanship in the Fleetwood line-up. I drove Fleetwood, Thor, Winnebago and Tiffin. All in the 40-45 foot range with tag axle and there was no comparison. The XC Chassis with V-ride suspension and the steerable tag axle made a noticeable difference in body lean. I paid special attention to body lean yesterday as my wife was driving at 50 mph around some curves in the Big Bend area, there was no lean to the coach. The place mats never moved on the table.
You're going to love the ride and drive of this coach.

Congratulations! We purchased ours in August and have driven it almost 2500 trouble free miles. Just returned today from the Davis Mountains and Big Bend National Park where the wind howls this time of year. I drove 398 miles one day with a 20-30 mph with gusts to 45 mph. The Comfort Steer made the day a breeze - pun intended.

I did see the sliver of the moon with Venus shining brightly Tuesday morning. Beautiful sight to see for sure....we're talking about the demise of the CC brand I believe.

I took the easy way out and bought this one. I couldn't come up with an easy way to instal the fixed unit.

RV Safety Accessories on Ebay had the best price I could find at the time.
Lifetime warranty.

You should reward her with a flour for her help.

Progressive Industries. Great customer service and lifetime warranty and its much more than just a surge protector. I've used them for over 10 years and I can't tell you the times its saved my coach from faulty wiring, low voltage and high voltage. BTW...I have the same coach as you.

Escapees has a great forum, in my opinion. I've even sold two toads and a towbar on their site. Lots of experienced rvers.

Hey, guys.....we're getting off topic.
I'm sure the OP is just waiting to come back and thank us for the information we've so gladly provided.

I expected Bill to comment. He's always looking for his spell chequer.

Yeah, Wayne, what Carl said.

I recently found a new spell checker some of you may find beneficial.
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
It's rare lea ever wrong.Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
It's letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew. -
What are you towing with?
FYI...it helps if you add your information at the bottom of your posts, including year, make and model of your coach.

The repairs should have never been started until all parties agreed on the amount of time and money. Most extended service agreement companies won't pay a nickel if pre-authorization wasn't obtained.
BTW...most of these agreements have more holes in them than a 10 pound onion sack. Buyer beware.

To answer the OP's questions.
1. Title it in the state you claim as your domicile, you know, where you file your tax return, etc.
2. As far as insurance, I would suggest you do your due diligence and purchase the policy that makes most sense and cents to you.

RV Trip Wizard allows you to set either miles or time to drive. I have no experience with this program but I understand it has this feature.

I appreciate you taking time to comment. Rumors and speculation can do a lot of damage in a short period of time.
Thanks.

Bill, when I converted all the inside lights in my Bounder, I used this company. Give him a call, he is knowledgable and very helpful.

Driving back on I-10 from Katy, TX on Friday, I passed several trucks loaded with crushed cars. I assume they are flood cars coming out of Houston headed to the steel mills in Mexico.

Going back to your husbands concern with the speedometer reading incorrectly if he changes to a different tire manufacturer, the speedometer is calibrated for the tire size. The thing that would change the speedometer reading is if you went to a larger or smaller tire and by that I mean buying a tire with a larger or smaller number after the /, in this case, the 80R number.

So many evil people in the world today. Are we safe anywhere? Prayers for the victims, their families and the first responders.

I guess I'm lucky, I eat when I'm bored. Congratulations on the new ride.
Should FMCA Allow Towable RVs-- Vote NOW

The reason they joined was for the tire program, however, they found a dealer that beat the FMCA program price.
They voted yes to go along with management. Their words not mine.
They will not renew their membership as they see no value. When I asked them about the assist program, they replied they never go more than a few hundred miles from home.
