five

Yesterday we went from Biloxi to N. Little Rock, fighting a very stiff head wind all the way. We usually average around 7 MPG....yesterday the Silver Leaf was showing a lot of numbers in the 5 area. The big diesel doesn't care....just gets a bit thirsty. Took on 106 gallons of fuel at a Loves for $420...haven't seen what kind of discount my ESF card will give us.

Try Southern Tire Mart. Great service and prices.

27 in Biloxi this morning!☹️ But it's crystal clear and forecast for 55 this afternoon.

We don't have much information on which to base data we would provide. We've had six RVs....two pulled by gas pick ups, a fifth wheel pulled by a diesel dually, a Class C gasser, and two Class A diesel pushers. The only reason I would not get another DP, is when I get so old I would want to downsize. What is your RVing experience, what RVs have you had in the past, what size are you looking to get?

We are on Splendide number three....two combos and one stackable. Our first was in the "nice to have'' category. After about a month that category changed to "we'll never have another RV without one."

Same here, works fine.

Those RV shows are getting expensive. We went to the Mobile show two years ago (last year's was cancelled), it was under $10 and they offered free Good Sam CG guides...$30 retail. This year it was $12 each, no discount and no CG guides. They did have lots of RVs of all types.

If I was buying new tires, I'd sure check around on various forums prior to buying Michelins. There are many posts about problems with them on motor homes.

It's 73 on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.😀

Your best bet is to call the company. We've had three different Splendides in three different RVs, but I've never heard of a Bendix in an RV.

As noted, lots of water is the key. Also, some of the newer coaches are coming with macerating toilets....they help as well.

You are in the VA system if you are getting RXs and physicals from them. In order to 'join' you must prove service....DD214 (other than Honorable Discharge can deny benefits), proof if claiming wounded (Purple Heart on the DD 214 or certificate), proof of income if wanting medical care, and other requirements. When I was last in my VA, Nov 2021, my doc was complaining about the VA being so crowded, with many using the system and trying to get disability funds with "flaky" claims....her term, not mine.

Where I store my MH has standard house power. Which is fine for me, all I plug in is my charger, and a few 60 watt old style light bulbs for winterization. If I need more heat (space heater/Aqua Hot), floor heat, or air conditioning, micro wave or similar high power appliances, I unplug the MH and fire up the generator. The OP stated he'd like to run his appliances....just have a qualified RV electrician put in 30 amp service. As noted above be sure the electrician knows that it is for an RV.

Everybody is getting ready for Santa!😄

You can't just "join" the VA. And, if you qualify, they will not just start issuing you potent meds required by the OP.

I bought a dash camera. Read the instructions, tried to apply the instructions to the camera. Turned everything off and tried again...no luck. Took the camera back...and still don't have one.☹️

My manual says to store the MH with jacks down....that's what they are for.

I'm a member and visit the forum about every three months....if I remember. Very little activity over there.

My storage spot is 50' x 20' so I can open all slides to work/clean it. I prefer to back it in. I have two parallel 4" red lines painted 18" wider than each side of the coach, plus I have four red cones sitting on the red lines on each side, equally spaced throughout the 50'. As long as I'm inside the red lines I'm okay on side space. I have two 4 x 4s to stop my backing, and tilt both outside mirrors down so I can see the red lines and cones when backing. My space is closed all around with limited lighting. If I headed it in, it would be very very dark inside. However, once backed in, with a 20' opening in the front, it lets in lots of light. I can back in by myself with the set up I have.

If you are members of Good Sam, call them. They'll do the research and find you the best deal.

Discover. Replaced the eight 6V deep cycle AGMs with two 12v Interstate deep cycle AGMs.

Many folks have a hang up regarding DEF. It's the same as the switch from leaded to unleaded gas many years ago. It is the way it is....most 18 wheeler tractors are trucks with DEF and doing fine.

If it is a Freightliner "Oasis" dealer, it should have plug ins for RVs. Oasis dealers are better equipped to handle MHs, they will have power and water.

If you have an Aqua Hot, be sure it does not freeze! There are 65' of copper inside the casing in a 450. If that copper freezes, and splits you must purchase a new unit.
