You may want to spend more than 2 night's in Big Bend. Where in Galveston?

Ray, we got the same photos, just in bright sunlight & 63 degrees! Heading for St. Andrews today, looked at Reversing River & water Fall yesterday! Will cross over to Main, Sunday am...trying to find a better way than 95 from boarder to past DC! If there is one, please advice...

Hello Nan, been a while. Congrats, your moving up! Got tired of the Pacific NW? Nice looking coach. Utility trailers are like RV's...you have many choices, both new & used in the duel axle, enclosed. It would help to know a few things, height of trailer, drop ramp or cargo doors, roof vent, electric plugs, tie downs, type of flooring? As Ray stated, weight is your biggest concern! IMHO you'll want a Aluminum trailer, like Feather light. How much does the UTV weigh? I found a 14', used aluminum, 3 years ago to carry my HD Trike to Parades..$1,800. It had a drop ramp & nothing else, I had a boat trailer shop add on the tie downs, cut a hole in roof for a small AC unit, got it wired inside for 10 amp plugs...I did the insulation and added a 3KW Honda generator. I pull it with my Jeep or a gas Chevy 2500 long bed P/U. With fuel it weight's 4,270. Carl C.

Agree! 25% fuel, no generator! Could also be a bad oil level sensor, if your tank is more than 25% full.

Yankee Travelers!

rickterzo. Welcome to the Forum! For future help, please put make, model, year & type of engine, chassis in your Signature! Good Luck & Safe Travels. Carl C.

Only problem is you got to receive it at home/mail address...I can't pick one up in Main, when we get there! I'm tempted to stay in Canada and take TCH 2 and cross over into UP. then US 2 to WI and straight down to Texas! Less traffic, hassle, stress & cost.

That irreversible problem can cost you or your DW, their life!

Ray. Lifetime anything is equal to unlimited 4GB Verizon or AT&T...LOL. I miss Analog!

I clean all seals in our fridges, coach & 3 S&B's, every 6 month's! Never a problem from any brand, including commercial.

Per the measurement taken at pre-boarding for the Ferry in Canada. My coach is 47' 3", plus toad = 64' 10.5" ! My Jeep is 15' 5" (That includes my spare tire). We took 2 Ferry rides...they measure each time! I have never been stopped by a LEO in any State, Mexico or Canada in 34 years of towing!

Having logged over 4,000 miles in Eastern Canada, 85% at 40 to 55 mph, I can say that any road in the US is smooth compared to here! You also become an expert in 30 amp coach management. We had C$800 and now less than C$150, every where takes Visa CC, have not been asked for a PIN # yet. Rate has been 24 to 30%, currently 30%, so spending C$100 = US$70. For me, box wine, is cheaper here and better than home, Beer is more expensive and Spirit is more (according to friends)! Average cost to eat out, C$70. We have consumed a lot of seafood chowder, lobster, mussel, cod fish and scallops! Today we will walk on the floor of the ocean, at Bay of Fundy, NB...did the same in NS! 40' to 54' tide's!

Any where in the USA that has tractors and farm implement's...someone is doing hoses and connectors!

Make, model, year? Are you willing to pay a driver? If so, how much?

schoonmakerjon. Welcome to the Forum! Are you looking to get a 40 foot or 45 foot? No slide out or up to 2? Remodeling a Prevost is not an easy task, so it will cost more than a "cookie cutter" coach like mine. I would recommend you to call Marathon, Liberty, Featherlight, etc and ask them! Lot's of electronics, plumbing, etc that we don't have. Care & feeding of a Prevost is not cheap!

DB, Ray. Yeah, did the full ceremonial thing...got the sausage, shot of Screech Rum (wish they served it after) & kissed the Cod. Played the big stick and danced, got our certificate! Also, appearance by Mummer's.

Sounds like battery!

A 30 amp plug will give you 27 amp usable. Is your coach all electric? Residential fridge or Norcold? How many batteries do you have and are they AGM or Acid?

On Linda's Phaeton it blows cool air into battery & Inverter bay when AC is on & heat into water & dump bay, when heater is on! We think the original owner did it.

The only problem I had with either engine, was warping of the right side manifold at the attachment point to engine! A pre FI 454 caught fire once, foamed it down, Chevy replaced any item that was burned and could burn, got new manifold...Free! Wife got new coach 2 weeks later, let me know by phone, the call cost was outrageous...I was in Columbia!

BF Goodrich, 8 new in June, on 45', 2/3 cost of Michelin, built by Michelin, 315/80/22.5...my August 2014 Michelin's was cracked and not safe, that's less then 5 years! I roll 12,000+ miles a year, this year will be over 17,000! BFG, no road noise, smooth ride, carry 110# on all 8. Thanks Joe L. for recommendation!!!

Been there many times. Any Hotel or Resort is safe, go roam around, nice people, rent a cab for 6 hours & see it all...avoid cruise ship days & you'll pay $100 instead of $200 for cab! I kept a 42' Lagoons Cat there for 7 years. Take the Ferry to the other Islands, 30 minutes to 90 minutes...pick up info at any tourist info kiosk! Local drink is Rum, OJ, little cream and dash of Nutmeg...one is enough, unless you need a long nap!

DB. We have found that the wine & beer here, is superior to what I get at home...price is about the same. I can't figure why Ian carries Bud Light. Craft beer is everywhere! Other than Bourbon, the rest is imported to USA via Canada...why bring it back to CA?

To my knowledge the old ISX 600 & 650 was the same engine. Also, the last CC models that came off the assembly line, was after going Bankrupt in early 2007! The CC Veranda came with a 500 or 600, non of the 500's had problems! A friend bought the 500 Veranda for $290k cash, brand new...no warranty! Sold it in 2014 for $395k & bought a CC 2005, 630!

They have a Beaver Dealership in Oregon, & they have all the old parts, dyes etc. On the Web. Also, any Plasma shop can copy what you have in reverse!
