KOA is our last choice in CGs. Most are considerably more expensive than other parks. Sure, some have more amenities, but most are way over priced.

There is a dollar limit for USAA as to whether or not they will insure RVs and boats. I've had some of each they would insure (5th wheel) and would not insure (currrent MH).

IMHO, our slide toppers are very poorly designed. They are horizontal so even when it rains they do not drain and puddle badly. After it rains (or snows), I climb on the roof and sweep off the water or snow so the toppers return to their normal position.

I've been using USAA since I came back from VN in the late 60s. As stated, the service is excellent. My problem with Progressive is their CEO.

Actually, the diesel burner is the primary method for heating...the electric element is secondary. However, I normally keep the electric element on all the time...and use the CG's electricity...and use the burner when it gets cold or we need more hot water.

My manual says to put Propylene Glycol in the boiler, not normal engine antifreeze or RV antifreeze.

Seems like that would be a question for a banker, a broker, or somebody in that line of work.

I'd check with Chevy before I did anything. Most of these companies are interested in selling you stuff to tow your vehicle...they could care less if the vehicle is designed to be towed or could be damaged while being towed.

...and third, call Nissan if it's not listed in the manual.

I'd check with the NJ authorities for verification of "a friend of a friend" information. Sometimes things get lost in the translation when being passed around.

I tend to think five years is a bit early, too...as long as they show no signs of aging, such as cracks. Of course the majority of RV tires will die of old age long before we run the tread off them.

Same here, hard to beat the overall value and quality of a Honda.

Go test drive a CRV...to the Cricket dealer and see if it will fit.

Appreciate the input guys. Any suggestions as to where I can get four corner/side to side weight? BTW, my tires are Goodyear G670RV, 295/80R22.5

I have a 3 amp fuse labeled as "Smart Wheel."

I had a similar noise under the passenger side. Long story short, the mating of the chassis and coach was missing some welds and had some broken welds. Two weeks at factory in Decatur, IN, fixed it.

Easy to tow, reliable, owner's manual says you can tow it (and how to tow it), 2wd or 4wd, light, cheap to operate, high quality and more...Honda CRV.

I weighed my coach today, and according to the actual weight of 19,500, my 295/80R22.5 dually tires should only have 80 PSI of air in them. That does not seem like enough air for a tire with a max capacity of 6,940# and 125 PSI of air. At my GAWR of 20,000#, that's still only 85 PSI. I've been keeping 100 PSI in them. For comparison, the front axle has a GAWR of 14,600, and an actual weight of 13,160. That weight calls for TP of 100 PSI, I've been using 105 PSI in them, and will probably continue to do so, since this weight is not ready to travel except for full fuel. The max weight capacity as a single is 7,830#. Comments?

I store my MH inside with very reliable power. I put a trouble light with a 60w bulb in the Splendide for winterization.

We have found that the battery will survive one day's towing without pulling a fuse. If towing consecutive days, we start it at the end of the day and let it run a while to recharge the battery. I'm thinking about getting a trickle charger that I can hook up at night, rather then starting it and letting it idle.

My inverter charger has an on/off switch for the charger and an on/off switch for the inverter. The charger stays on all the time and the inverter stays off all the time...unless dry camping and need it.

Try emailing Power Gear...they will send you all sorts of web sites and information...but won't talk to customers on the phone, dealers only.

The big question is...which floor plan does your D/W like best??

Freightliner could fix that problem if they wanted to fix it. On my Spartan chassis, I have a filter bay, last bay curb side. It contains both fuel filters, the external hydraulic filter and the resevoir for the Power Gear leveling system. I can service all those items sitting on a stool next to the bay.
