Opinions Please -- 2016 Newmar Ventana LE 4037
wildebill308 replied to fagnaml's topic in Buying an RV
I am glad they are back open. They had been closed because of flooding. Congratulations on the new coach. Bill -
Tell me about it I made reservations last year for this year in Maine and Ithaca NY. Some places like the Grand Canyon are hard to get good reservations period. Bill

Keep your serial number handy, you will need it whenever you talk to a Cummins parts guy. What site did you use? https://quickserve.cummins.com/info/index.html This is the same site the dealer looks at to find information on your engine based on the serialnumber. Bill -
I have to ask who came up with this? That is about the dumbest thing I have seen in a long, long time. There is no rational reason to do roof that way. They could have A) gotten a big enough piece of fiberglass. (What do they do on a 45' coach) B cut the parts so you run them across the roof and fiberglassed the joints together. Done right you could not see the joints and it would be as strong or stronger than one piece. Is the covering on the outside of the chanel fiberglass? Bill

The only complaint I have had with the Colman I have is the wheels started to get wobbly so I tightened the screws/axels up. Well ok 2 minor things. It tends to be realey hot even with the burners turned way down. The new ones have 3 burners and may give better control. I just use the small cans of propane and don't think it uses much propane.

We stayed out at Buffalo Run RV Park & Cabins because we were exploring some places on that side and some of the outher attractions in the area. We also made a day trip/exploring over to the Tetons. Bill

I would not put it back on. Bill

I would look at Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone, Montana. I haven't stayed there because I never could get reservations. https://www.grizzlyrv.com/ There is a KOA on the East side https://koa.com/campgrounds/cody/ I haven't been on that side yet. The scenery on that route is supposed to be great. Born2travel obviously has more experience in the area. Probably has a better idea on when to go than I do. I would start calling about reservations TODAY. With Fishing bridge closed the demand will be higher at the outher parks. Bill

If you get the Webber get the one with the built in thermometer in the lid. I have done a non scientific survey of several campgrounds and rally's. It is a toss up between the Weber and the Colman Roadtec. The Coleman has the benefit of not needing a place to set it up as it has it's built in stand. https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Road-Propane-Portable-Grill/dp/B00GPEKBPE Bill

When going East from Coffey Creek stay on I-20 and follow it around the south side to I-30 on the East side of the metroplex. I find that LR is about as far as I want to drive on the first day heading out. Just across the river from the RV park is the Clinton Presidential Library. They have a walking bridge across the river (that is lite up at night ) so you could walk to it if you wanted to. Bill

What route are you taking? Are you going through Little Rock? I like the Downtown Riverside RV Park. downtownriversidervpark.com Bill

Can't be that bad. You can also drive a little faster on that road, it has a posted speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h), the highest posted speed limit in the United States. Bill

Al, see that wasn't so hard. 😁

Be aware Fishing Bridge Campground is closed for the season for upgrades. https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htm Last trip we stayed on the west sidee out on 20 at Buffalo Run RV Park & Cabins. The first time we couldn't get closer than Yellowstone's Edge RV Park. Great park and we were right on the river. That is north on 89. http://yellowstonesedgervpark.com/ I would be calling for reservations now. Bill

First of all it's not a a one day trip. One day there and one day back. That is 7-8 hours on the road both ways. It is pretty obvious the car is more expensive the way you are trying to calculate this. You have the cost of the car and add in the cost of the RV. You are paying for it weather you are using it or not. The big question is which one makes you smile more. Bill

Welcome to the form. I would guess it is or they wouldn't mention it in the towing directions. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Where did you find it and where are you based? Bill -
I would use the Lucas Red "N" Tacky grease or the Sta Lube. I haven't found anything that stayes in wheel bearings like Sta Lube. Both stick to the metal and won't wipe off or squeeze out as easily as most do. Bill

Welcome to the forum. As stated Trailer Village is the best place. Call today, don't wait to make reservations. The free shuttle bus will take you places you can't go in your toad. Bill

For those that are looking for a "Better Quality" class A

I suspect if you are in that group, you just say" I don't want a bar in the windshield, I don't care what it cost." Bill -
How are the flowers along all the roads? Bill

So why don't you as the "Tire Guru" Help FMCA do a better job of getting the right and proper information on the tire charts in the FMCA Tire Program? I just looked at the Hankook listing for tires that would fit my coach and nowhere does it give tire rating or speed rating. Instead of odd numbers that don't readily relate to anything on the manufactuers website, why not make them a clickable link to that tire on the manufactuers website. Bill

The spiders could have been running from this one wasp. I have seen them flying low looking for spiders. I have pictures of one that was dragging a big tarantula across the grass headed for a place to stash it. It was moving right along and I don't get to close or do anything to upset the wasp. The wasp is quite attractive they are quite large with cobalt blue body and copper wings. You definitely don't want to get stung. The sting is described (in peer reviewed medical text) as so bad you are stung just lay down and start screaming. No I don't want to try it and see if it's true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=18&v=287mfv6lbDU Bill
