They must have been in hiding. I wanted to ask them some questions. I did look and see they are scheduled to be in Perry in 2016 Booth space(s): 500 - 507 Bill

Welcome to the forum. How long are you leaving it on? Have you checked for power where the hot water power supply plugs in? Bill

Apparently it Skeerd him too bad to post what happened. Bill

Just a reminder put your air selector on your towed to recirculate it will reduce the smell in side the toad. Bill

The only problem I have never seen them at a rally or a RV show in my area. That includes Perry Ga. Last year. I had my Blue Ox serviced at Perry and again at the FMCA 6 state in Conroe Texas. Last month for $30.00. Strange they wouldn't fix it or offer help with a replacement. What if any thing happened to cause the problem? Have you tried penetrating oil such as PB Blaster to see if you can free it up? Bill

Easy enough to get a fairly good idea of your MPG just do an average of the last 5 fill ups. I use Gas Buddy and it keeps a running average. Bill

Where are you located? Are you in a state that has EZPass? You can walk in or do it on line or call. If you are not in the north east I would do it before I traveled there and save some money. You need one per vehicle. If you are towing your toad they told me to take the toad transponder and place it in the special bag so it can't be read. http://www.e-zpassiag.com/ Bill

Welcome to the forum. Before you run out and by a new diesel and find out you still don't have a smooth ride on the rough roads there are a few things that might help your current ride. I would weigh your coach and set my tier pressure to the tier manufactures weight tables. This may soften the bumps. Check your shocks and upgrade if needed. Check your bushings on the sway brace. Bill

The OP is talking about renting a class A, not renting his out. Bill

Glad you finally got "re tired" I know those have been hard to come by. Where are you looking for winter digs? Bill

Some times when the filter is dirty it causes a vacuum in the return side that will try to pull air in through the condensation drains. This keeps the water from draining and will drip on the inside. Good idea to clean/replace the filters often. Bill

I would put that money in a savings account. Most of the warranty/insurance contracts have so many disclaimers that they can deny nearly all claims. Do a search there are many post hear about being denied and few about getting something fixed. I self insure and so far I have replaced a convection microwave for $430.00 and a slide relay for $110.00 in the last 3 years. If you do your maintenance you shouldn't have any problems. In your case you have a newer coach and by now should have all the little problems fixed. I would think you should be able to go a long time with no problems. We hear about the problems people have hear on the forum but never hear about the coaches on the road who never have a problem. Bottom line you have to do what makes you happy. Yes you absolutely need Coach Net. Don't leave home with out it. Bill

I did see a Class A diesel at 350 a day locally. Yes it may be expensive but cheaper than buying then 4-6 mouths later selling at a big discount. Bill

Not that familiar with the Richmond, VA area. What are you looking for gas or diesel? There are a couple of places but I don't think they rent class A coaches. You might call and see if they know of anyone. Cruise America (804) 658-1422 Or Freedom RV 804-798-3379. Good luck. Bill

Welcome to the forum. It is ok to tell us why. But let me guess. Your break away cable got pulled or your auxiliary brake system wasn't installed right or you didn't pump your brakes before you towed. But please inform us. Bill

That does sound a little low on the mileage. What speed are you cruising? Have you weighed the coach? What was done for the tune up by who? Did you see if it had any codes? Bill

Welcome to the forum. As Herman said what is your experience level and I am wondering how you settled on these two coaches. I would recommend looking at used coaches to start with (after doing the rental thing as Herman recommended) as you will learn a lot about how a floor plan works for you by living in one. After some experience you may be better able to select something better suited to your likes and lifestyle. Bill

I have had similar experience at several RV shows. If I didn't want to buy a coach there was very little to see or do. If you didn't want to buy cookware or aluminum siding or time shares you were out of luck. There was a very limited amount of accessory's or services represented. This included the big RV show in Dallas last month. Bill

I would not buy a used base plate there is a chance it may have hidden damage. I bought a used tow bar and Brake Buddy off Craig's list. I bought a 10,000 pound rated tow bar that way if I changed toads and the new one was heavier I wouldn't need a heavier rated tow bar. I also like a little extra margin for safety. Always make sure the tow bar and baseplate are compatible. You will also need a light kit for your Jeep. I like this one as the LED lights won't damage your lenses and are small and easy to find a place to locate them in your lights. http://www.blueoxtowbars.com/products/Blue_Ox_Tail_Light_Wiring_Kit___Clear_L_E_D_,BX88269 You will also need a coil cord to connect the lights to your RV 7 pin trailer plug. Did I mention safety cables. Bill

Check the bushings in the sway bar brace. They could be bad, not only the ones at the ends but the ones mounting to the frame. Bill

The two units you posted links to are dehumidifiers and will not prevent freezing as they don't provide enough heat. This is what I have. http://www.amazon.com/Holmes-Compact-Ceramic-Heater-Thermostat/dp/B000V50GI0 Bill

Well just as you have been advised, you should change your oil to keep your warranty in place. After you are out of warranty you can change it when ever you want. I still maintain changing it in the fall is the best practice. I would much rather have new oil with a complete additive package rather than letting it set with older more contaminated oil. Remember if you should get moister it will possibly cause more damage with the older oil. I also pull the oil sample far enough before your oil change you can get the results back. This way if you have a large change in your results you can do a second sample to verify the results. Bill

Yes sampling the different brews is a worth wile past time. You might also like this bakery it is called "When Pigs Fly" https://www.sendbread.com/ You should look at Freeport home of LL Bean and a huge outlet shopping area. This is to reward your wife for driving you home from the brew pubs. Bill

I tow a 2014 CRV all wheel drive 4 down with no problem. I know of no problems on the 2012. Please read your owners manual and follow the procedure exactly. Most important is to NEVER go into neutral as your last shift before towing from reverse, always go into neutral from drive. The only other thing to be aware of is never tow your all wheel drive on a dolly with only 2 tires on the ground. Bill

We stayed hear and it was a nice campground. I chose it because of the location as most of the things we were doing were in Portland or north of town/Free Port.
