I don't believe that Winnebago sells direct to consumers, however there is a company right next door to them who have come across for me several times. Give them a holler: Lichtsinn RV

Anyone interested also look into Safe-T-Plus steering stabilizer.

Shop around, it may be time to switch.

Besides yourself, please name one that thinks "ok." I have only once (evacuation for IKE) been running the generator when the gauge got down near a quarter tank. we had been running for 3 days when power was lost at the CG due to the hurricane. (Nope! Did not evacuate far enough and 100 miles was not far enough.) The generator was running when we decided to find an area where there was electricity to pump fuel so I shut the generator off as we traveled. I barely made it running on fumes. So I am going to "assume" that our generator would shut off at 1/4 tank. I really don't want to test that theory again.

Roof mounted cross bar with the lights on it. I would just prefer to have all the available safety items to keep the idiots from ramming into my vehicle.

Tom, As a point of interest, many many years ago (And I mean many) a gentleman was given a citation for doing 55 in a 35 zone. He was leaving a town and the speed limit increased from 35 to 55 so he started to speed up and when he got to the 55 mph sign he was doing 55. He took a court hearing and at the hearing he asked the judge, "If approaching a sign doing 55 mph and the sign says 35 then I must be doing 35 when I reach the sign, so if I'm doing 35 mph and see a sign that says 55 mph can I not be doing that speed when I reach the sign?" The judge dismissed the case against him and in his favor. Just saying, and precedence set. It is a stupid law that one must be doing the lower speed limit, down shifting and braking but one cannot increase in the reverse.

Well, I have been lazy and did not use the Wash Wax All before we left and now the dirt/grime is really built up. Tomorrow is wash day by a mobile rv wash company. I'll try and keep up with and use the Wash Wax All in the upcoming trip. Something I used on my motorcycle and also on my cars was a product called Capt. Richard's Best. This stuff worked great but it is more pricey the Wash Wax All.

Pictures or it never happened! (Please.)

We have stayed at Railside RV park and enjoyed it. Nice doggy sitting service - the (at the time) would come and let the dog out and the fee was extremely reasonable for doggy service.

1200 xx Service Manual

We have made the trip from Texas to Mass several times. I don't know how much time you have but there are places along the way that are so very interesting. We have headed up to 40 and picked it up in Arkansas. Headed East and picked up 81N. Here is where we vary because the one place we visit just about each time we go that way is Gettysburg, PA. Unless you have an inclination of visiting DC and travel the much dreaded by us I-95, I-81 is the better route. If you have no intention of visiting Gettysburg then I-81 to the Scranton area and the I-84E. I-84 will take you all the way to Sturbridge, MA. Regarding campgrounds in MA, not many good ones and they are very seasonal so prices go way up in the summertime. There are the weekend campers and reservations are necessary ahead of time - way ahead. Happy trails Edit: p.s., if you do go to Gettysburg you can pick up Hwy 30 off of I-81. From Gettysburg we take Hwy 30E to US-222N, I-78 for a little ways to Hwy 33N to I-80E for a little ways the US-209 up through the Delaware Water Gap to I-84. We traveled in a 40ft MH towing and previously a 40ft 5th wheel and did not have any navigating problems. The Water Gap is a two lane, like country, road ut the ride was enjoyable.

Wow! I had a login experience yesterday that was perplexing. I typically have the "remember me" feature enabled on forums and yesterday when I tried to log in I could not do it. Got a weird message about bookmarks and other items that may have been the cause. I sent the error message to the 'contact webmaster' and this morning I had an email that he reset my UID and PW. Works now or I would not be posting. Thanks web master team! After 24 hours I was having withdrawal pains.

Whichever you decide to go with make sure you check the specifications for diameter, width, etc. Here is a web site that once you have the numbers you can find out the differences in the tires. Tire Size Calculator

Here is my definition of politically correct: Someone who thinks they can pick up a piece of dirt by the clean end.

Blake, I would like to do that also but my driveway will not allow me to back up and place the wood. So, I park the MH where it is going to be for easy hook-up, paths, and loading. Then lay the longest piece of wood down next to the tire, drive forward until it clears the wood, then put the wood behind the tires and back up onto the wood. All with my DW as ground guide. I would never attempt this without her being there. I wouldn't even trust someone else.

We had the Safe-T-Plus added just before this trip. What a difference in the handling, and ride. Going over bumps, RR Tracks, pot holes, etc. When big rigs pass by it just wiggles a little bit. My main reason for purchasing is the stability it give should a front blow out occur. One of the videos I saw was an axle broke on the passenger side and the vehicle came to a controlled stop. Same would happen with a blow out. Although one hand steering is possible it is much safer to keep two hands on the wheel.

Like stated, with the 45˚ bevel the tire starts up on the bevel and holds it in place. The upper two boards can slip as the wood on wood is slippery that is why I anchor them all with jut some drop-in bolts. Good luck - and remember it is at your own risk. Works for me - but!

Joe, I don't remember the exact measurements but the bottom board is about 1 foot longer than the second board. It is beveled at 45˚ so getting up on it is easy. Once on that one it holds it in place very well. Getting up on the second and third is where a problem with dragging can occur. I drilled a bore hole at each of the corners of the top board down through the second and into the bottom board I drove some long fence bolts through the holes and they keep everything in place. When I back up I can feel the first rise but the second and third rise are almost simultaneously. The trick is two fold. One, left foot on brake, right foot on accelerator pedal. Second is that Earlene is ALWAYS the ground guide standing by the driver side window, which is open. When I feel that second bump rise I stop. She then indicates with index finger and thumb how much I have to go back. Trust me, I only move an inch or so once I feel that last rise. I used 2 x 10 with 5/8 plywood on top. Next time, which will be when we return home, I'm gong to use 2 x10 with 3/4 inch plywood. The plywood is to prevent the 2 x 10 from splitting. After 7 years I finally have to replace 1 that split - not the plywood but the board itself so I'm going to re-do them all. I need the extra lift anyhow. One thing that could be done that would be safer would to make all the boards longer and put a safety stop on the top board, like maybe a good wheel chock. I just went by what the manual for my Norcold stated. I've never measured the temps.

Absorption refrigerator like Norcold: 3˚ side to side, 6˚ front to rear. (for my Norcold 1200 any way). Here is what I do - but be darn careful no to roll off the back end. I only do this for loading and unloading. All other times it is in a storage facility. This, of course, is at ones own risk.

Not to say what the bottom of the tennis shoes would look like. Or the back of the shorts!

Post the dark picture, maybe someone can lighten it up.

Nice camera. What make/model is it?

Same for Air Force 1. As an alternative. Both are excellent.

I use progressive. A couple years ago we were parked in Arkansas and a big hail storm came through. The hail was a little bigger than golf ball size. There was $19,000 damage to the motorhome and progressive never blinked an eye. I will need a new windshield after this next trip and I'm sure they will come through again. p.s., that included a new roof.
