    I don't see a problem with eather one. We are leaving from FW so will be using the second rout. Going on I-30 to 270 We plan on overnighting at Texarkana RV Park & Event Center. Mainley because wife has a doctors apointment the morning of the 11th so don't know exactley what time we can get on the road. May be able to get there but hate geting in after dark.

    Just a note, if you do go up I-45 from Houston to Dallas when you get to Dallas take I-20/635 east then stay on 635 it will take you to I-30. 

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    After looking at the map and where you live in Katy I would go the rout up I-45.  Maybe come back the outher way.

    I just purchased a new Entegra Reatta Class A.  It comes with at two year warranty.  The deal is attempting to get me to spend $20,000 in additional warranty that is to go out 3 more years.  It covers paint, tires, road side assistance etc.  It seems kind of expensive.  I can get the best Good Sam roadside assistance for $200.  Do we we need the dealer extended warranty.  if so, what do some people wish they had bought?

    Nice coach. Welcome to the forum. I would put that money in a maintence  and repair account. That way if you need it you will have it. Those company's are realey good at denying claims. I believe they won't cover anything that already has a warrantee. I would make shure you get all new coach problems documented and worked before your warrantee period runs out. If you do your maintence and generally take care of your coach I don't know how you would spend $20,000. It is all sold with scare tactics. 

    Where are you located and where are you headed on your first trip.

    That does seam a bit hi for what you said. I think I would shop it around a little. Is this place going to replace the turbo with new? Or just replace the actuator?

    The actuator is on the outside of the turbo. Look on You Tube there are several videos on them.

    I have never towed one but this is what it says in a owners manual I found on line. I would read what it says in the one in the car. It also had warnings about blocking the air flow causing overheating of the transmission when being towed.

    This is from page 290.  Vehicle Care, Recreational Vehicle Towing
    Recreational vehicle towing means
    towing the vehicle behind another
    vehicle, such as a motor home. The
    two most common types of
    recreational vehicle towing are
    known as dinghy towing and dolly
    towing. Dinghy towing is towing the
    vehicle with all four wheels on the
    ground. Dolly towing is towing the
    vehicle with two wheels on the
    ground and two wheels up on a
    device known as a dolly.
    Here are some important things to
    consider before recreational vehicle
    towing:
    . What is the towing capacity of
    the towing vehicle? Be sure to
    read the tow vehicle
    manufacturer's
    recommendations.
    . What is the distance that will be
    traveled? Some vehicles have
    restrictions on how far and how
    long they can tow.

    . Is the proper towing equipment
    going to be used? See your
    dealer or trailering professional
    for additional advice and
    equipment recommendations.
    . Is the vehicle ready to be
    towed? Just as preparing the
    vehicle for a long trip, make sure
    the vehicle is prepared to be
    towed.
    Caution
    Use of a shield mounted in front
    of the vehicle grille could restrict
    airflow and cause damage to the
    transmission. The repairs would
    not be covered by the vehicle
    warranty. If using a shield, only
    use one that attaches to the
    towing vehicle.

    Dinghy Towing RS Model with
    Automatic Transmission

    Caution

    If the vehicle is towed with all four
    wheels on the ground, the
    drivetrain components could be
    damaged. The repairs would not
    be covered by the vehicle
    warranty. Do not tow the vehicle
    with all four wheels on the
    ground.

    Good luck

    Bill
