  1. Do you feel like a "castaway" in your RV? Never! I always feel a sense of unparelled "freedom" to wander and explore the open road ahead. And a sense of being "Home" whereever we are parked.
  2. I don' believe that model/year has a heated basement. I would wait until you are further south in warmer temps. Enjoy.
  3. If you have a heated basement and/or tanks that are heated, you could de-winterize as long as the furnace and tank heaters are on. What year is your Adventurer?
  4. if you have ever camped at a NASCAR race beside folks with generators on the ground or on an outside rack, you will immediately understand why FMCA conventions have put in a restriction on the use of external generators. Whether or not these are in use beside Motorhomes, trailers or fivers, these generally inexpensive big store bought generators lack proper mufflers and are extremely loud.
  5. 65 to 80° ? I'm envious! Hoping to be in the south next year at this time.
  6. All this talk about cleaning and polishing wheels has got me all excited. Don't know if I can wait another month for spring to arrive.......
  7. Hi Brett, my rear rims are Alcoa, PN 873402. According to what I can find on various web sites, they are " Polished inside only", not coated. Thanks for the tip!
  8. Thanks! I'll be picking some up and polishing mine, as soon as the snow melts, that is...
  9. Ours is a 2010, which we bought new off the lot in late 2011. Since then we have put about 40,000 miles on it, about 6,600 a year.
  10. Wow! Tail winds. 22 mpg. Amazing! How come I either get the head wind or side wind? Never the tailwind!
  11. This is odd. According to the chart, if I am reading it right, we would have been charged a minimum of $33. (no tag on our coach) I don't recall paying anywhere near that. Living in Ontario where we often have to travel thru Toronto, we do everything we can to avoid the toll hwys due to their ridiculously exorbitant cost here. Usually about 5 times what the tolls are in the U.S.
  12. Great idea and use of what would otherwise be a wasted space!
  13. $76?? Crossed the GW 2 years ago in the RV with toad, no EZpass, don't recall exactly how much it was but more like a few $$'s, no where near $76....
  14. Timetraveler..is this a typo? 22 mpg in a 39.5 foot coach? Sounds way too good to be true..
  15. Fortunately have never had a high wind issue. Have had my fair share of stopping during sever thunderstorms/rain though..
  16. Oceanlakes in Myrtle beach is on the top of our list. Big rig friendly, private beach and access, short stroll from our RV.. www.oceanlakes.com
  17. The last time I had a leak from the foot valve on my toilet, it was not repairable. Had to replace the toilet. Sorry, not very helpful...
  18. Thanks. Thought maybe we'd stay south of the city, anyone stayed at Atlant0a South RV Resort in McDonough?
  19. We are planning to tour the Atlanta area next summer, any recommendations on nice RV Parks to stay at are appreciated.. Ian
  20. Diesel $5.44 a gallon? I know our fuel prices are higher than the US but your conversion calculation is incorrect. Here just east of Toronto, diesel is currently at $1.21 / liter. At 3.71 liters to the US gallon thats $4.48 per gallon Canadian. Once you factor in the US currency exchange rate, which is $1.23 today..your price is $3.65 a gallon.
  21. Tom, We are in the planning stages of an Alaskan trip for most of the summer of 2019. Thank you for the tip on The Milepost. Looks invaluable!
