  1. I always add the additive to the tank prior to filling so it will mix when fueling. I'm not familiar with the fuel additive the parts man is recommending but I have used both products that have been recommended by Brett and Bill.

    I use the Pilot/Flying J charge card that provides a discount from the cash price, automatic pump start and no pump shut off.


  2. I would be cautious broadcasting the fact you're going the LLC route. Several states are actively pursuing the lose of tax dollars and from what I've heard, the fines, interest and penalties will make the amount saved in sales tax insignificant. I assume you've checked with your state and meet their requirements for avoiding (or evading) paying their sales tax. Since you still own real property (your home/homestead) in you resident state, thats a huge red flag.

    Good luck, I would probably hate to check my mailbox afraid of that bill that may show up any day.


  3. Essex Credit is good resource for financing. 3.73% up to 84 months. 3.85% up to 120 months. 4.12% up to 240 months

    Insurance costs are based on value, deductible, coverage desired, where and how its stored. I've used Hartford for five years with one $10,000 claim. The premium has increased less than a hundred dollars in those five years.

    As far as I know, you can't just pick a state to register the motorhome. It has to be you domicile at the time of purchase.

    I hope this helps.


  4. Even though this is a year old thread, I think it warrants a word of caution. It appears to me this company is a web based manufacturer/seller with no store front. You buy it sight unseen and take your chances. They have a 90 night warranty but the buyer is responsible for return shipping costs and it states they will provide you with a return shipping address should you want to return it. The buyer also pays for return shipping charges even if the manufacturer deems it is a warranty issue. So if you use the OP $400 quote for freight you could be paying $800 for a mattress that cost that or less and could possibly get the mattress back that you thought was bad. I can't imagine the shipping charges for a king size mattress from CA to NC with what shipping costs are today.

    As always, buyer beware.


  5. I think he is talking about winterizing a residential refrigerator.

    When I installed my residential refrigerator, I thought about that also because the only way to get to the water solenoid valve is to pull the refrigerator out. The valve is mounted on the base of the refrigerator with a sheet metal covering over it so its not accessible from the outside opening. Or at least its not on my MH. I considered relocating the valve so I would have access but since its stored in a building in the Houston area and we rarely get severe freezes I decided I can always drop a heat lamp in the compartment should the need arise.

    I'm sure with all the units being built with residential refrigerators, someone has a good answer for the OP.


  6. You state there is "nothing following "DOT"...the following is an explanation on the letters and numbers after DOT. If you truly don't have a tire with any letters/numbers I guess I would be concerned.

    DOT Serial Number
    The "DOT" symbol certifies the tire manufacturer's compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation tire safety standards. Below is a description of the serial number. Starting with the year 2000, four numbers are used for the Date of Manufactuer, first two numbers identify the week and the last two numbers identify the year of manufacture. Prior to year 2000 three numbers are used for the Date of manufacture, first two numbers identify the week and the last number identifies the year of manufacture. To identify tires manufactured in the 90's a decade symbol (a triangle on its side) is located at the end of the DOT serial number.
