I use Passportamerica also. Most passport parks dont honor the discount on major holidays, and the 50 off is from Sunday through Thursday. We travel about 6 weeks per year, so the discount more than pays for it's annual membership. We use several parks in Tenn., Ga., and Florida on a regular basis and have learned which are the better parks. Thumbs up!

Be sure to check the car-fax for that vehicle. More than likely, if the vehicle has been in an accident, there is a far greater possibility of things going wrong with it.
Be sure to look for tale tell signs of this. I would never make an investment in a coach that I, or a reputable inspector hasn't checked out. If the seller has objections to having it inspected, beware.

Never stayed at a Cracker Barrel, but have at Walmart and truck stops. I would look at the surrounding neighborhood, the sleazy looking ones usually are. Be sure to check with the manager, and ask if it is OK. Some cities have ordinances against overnight parking at locations in their cities. Truck Stops are normally much nosier than Walmart.
Most Walmarts have a security guard/car, that makes regular rounds in their parking lots. Also Sam's clubs mostly will allow overnight parking in their lots.
Happy trails

Frank,
You can certainly just crank the engine and leave it running, just make sure to check that it remains running while in motion. And also there is usually a U-Haul dealer in most every town. You can usually rent a tow-dolly to get you where you are going, may not be exactly what you like to do, but beats having a spoiled vacation, most of the time.
Happy new year,

You could use two tin cans and a string between them, and some people would like that better. But three previous posts are the best answer. I use a Galaxy S-III and love it. My daughter and son inlaw have the S-IV. I haven't found enough difference to upgrade to that, but if buying a new one I would buy the S-IV. My other daughter has and husband has the I phone, they love theirs. I like Galaxy personally, but then, I am MS certified. So have fun shopping.
Happy new year, Kay

The 701 K-G that is in the link that Rich described will work just fine, a little less pricey and will work fine. I have used one like this for over thirty years.
Happy new year, Kay

I have not towed a Smart, but was on the verge of getting one last November. The factory representative was at the dealer that day. He showed me the two tow points, and how easy it would be to install the tow bar. He also told me about Smart-tow, and highly recommended that method.
Good luck with your endeavor, if you decide to go that route, please let us know how it works out.
Happy New Year,
Kay

Merry Christmas Rich, Lois, and to all others on this forum. May the next year be the happiest for all.

Thanks to all who responded to ticat's remark. I was thinking of asking him if his favorite radio wasn't a Cobra29.
Happy forward trails Huffypuff, may the wind be at your back.

Sorry, I assumed the HR20's were not already rf.

The receiver that will use rf will have to be set to receive rf. The default is ir, therefore no other receiver will receive that signal.

Sorry you are having such bad luck. Almost sounds like one of my adventures. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and hope the rest of your vacation goes better.
Happy holidays,

Being from Alabama, I would suggest looking at the Tiffin line. They are built here in Alabama in Red Bay. I have been to their factory, and was impressed with the finess that is put into their homes. They offer Allegro, Phaeton, and Zephyr. Your choice on whether new or used, they seem to hold value longer than some of the others in your budget range. Good luck hunting and hope to see you here.

I would take I-10 to the last Panama City exit, which is highway 231, and go south all the way to highway 98, then turn east. There are shorter routes that I know, but I have been traveling these routes for 50+ years. As Brett said, the congestion is not worth the effort to run 98 all the way. The scenery is very good east of Panama City, and when you get to Apalachacola, there is many good places to eat some of the best seafood on the planet.
Happy holidays,

If you are in or traveling through the Southeast during the holiday season, a good point of interest is Callaway Gardens, at Pine Mountain, Ga.
The holiday light show is fantastic, and will be viewed till Jan. 1, 2014. Located near Warmsprings Ga., which is the home o Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Little white house is located there, with a noteworthy museum in honor of FDR. The town of Warmsprings is a quaint little town full of hospitable people, and oriented toward a Christmas Spirit. I stay at FDR state park when I go, and find a nice park.
Just a tidbit in case someone is looking for little trip.
Happy Holidays

Here is the link for the setup instructions, (http://dl.ubnt.com/docs/M_Series_Beginner_Guide.pdf). If you don't already have the instructions, simply cut and paste into your browser's address line. I asked if you have the Poe injector, also. This is how it gets power to run, which requires 12volts to operate the unit through the Ethernet cable. I have e-mailed my phone numbers, will be up about 30 more minutes. Call me if you need any help. Not surprising that the company hasn't replied, sometimes takes weeks for that to happen.
Good luck,

Which model do you have? Did you get the Poe injector with it?

I used a 100 amp Powermax RV converter which I ordered off of ebay.
Fully automatic, it has worked flawlessly for over a year.

Amen, Brett, I'm thinking the same thing.

Yes you can change your current driver license to Florida dl. Also is still true, no state income tax, and tags are cheaper than most places, although, there is an impact fee for each vehicle when you change from another state plates. Not sure how much that is, but it is assessed on the basis of the value of the vehicle. Anyway, that is one thing to look out for.
Good luck,

Box stores usually carry 15 amp, and 20 amp gfci outlet/breakers. Be sure to not put a 20 amp on number 14 wire. Also, some gfci outlets are wired so that there can be other outlets downstream from them, which could mean that there is too much current draw on that receptacle. Check to see if other appliances are also affected when the breaker is thrown.
Good luck troubleshooting

Excuse me tcat900, ask the Mercedes factory rep, not me. I was only quoting what I was told. Also if the battery is disconnected, there is no current being used, therefore no recharge required for the rather short periods that it remains disconnected. The factory has a reason for suggesting the battery be disconnected, therefore the question should be asked of them.
Sorry that some of us are not quite as smart as you.
Kay

If you disconnect the battery, why would have run a charge wire? If the Battery is disconnected, it cannot use any current. I am looking at a Smart for two, the company rep., told me that the reason for the battery disconnect is simply an assurance that the switch cant possibly become set as to allow the computer onboard to become active. The occurrence if that happens will be detrimental to the drive train.
Just wondering!!!!!!!

I use 16 ounces of household bleach, 2 ounces of laundry detergent, to 1 gallon water. Scrub it on an already wet surface, then rinse and rinse and rinse with water. Works well on my awnings as well.

Where Is Subwoofer Access Monitor

DD is right, only the converter will know for sure. Prevost only built the coach, there are many converters that build the conversion. And no two of them do anything exactly alike.
Would like to know what year, and length of your coach, it is among the best on the road.
Happy trails,
Kay
