Roland, yes. However, if I may suggest, since you just plan to drive in and out. Wait until you leave Alpine and take the road to BBNP and go thru park to Marathon in your coach! Durring your stay in Alpine, take a day trip to Mt. Davis and the Observatory...another evening trip to Marfa, you may see the famous, unexplained Marfa lights!

Skyking. I would not buy the new JL Wrangler...push button start...you may have the same issue as the other warblers!

82/sun/ light wind yesterday. Wind is 20 today, with partly cloudy and 84...Think (hope & pray) winter is gone in Texas, or at least my part of it.

Sutcliffe. Welcome! One answer will suffice. As to your Question. The best is to roll with the same size tire, that came with your coach, from the manufacturer! You'll find that info on your weight placard..normaly in back or side of driver seat, on wall. Some factories put it on wall in closet rear! Carl

Short stick? From armpit to finger tip is 47"...no stick needed. My leg length used to be 38" Long for Jeans...to bad arms don't get shorter with age. By the time I get to 90, I'll be dragging knuckles !

Herman. Your wrong, go to any dealer and they will sell you a 2 wheel drive, 2 door or 4 door unlimited. Lot's of Mom's buy them! I had a Isuzu Trooper II, that was a 1985, 4x4 Manual, I had to start and run thru gears, every 300 miles! No big deal, the DW and dogs had to walk anyway!

They are open 24/7/365! Linda did a Pilot at 3am and got a person to do it.

Sucks!!!!

Billy. Welcome to the FMCA & Forum! Hope your having fun in Perry & that the Seminars are informative for you! Carl C.

PSW, Ditto x3! Agree with DD69!

Wonderful. Good Sam, did the same thing a dozen years ago! Wooopee for us! Family RVing? So, does that mean that the "New Charter" has been approved by the State of Ohio? Does that also mean that the Executive Board has by passed Governance? We never had an official vote as to what a qualifying RV was...it was tabled until Gillette Convention!

Waynebyer. Air! I found out how to adjust the door, by calling REV group Tech! It would help us a great deal more, if you would list: Make, Model and year of your RV!

Skyking. Bad knee. Had a lot of Jeep Wranglers and only 2 where manual (did not come in auto). Have never had to go thru gears...kind of like "Plug & Play"! Have also had Chevy Colorado, 4x4, V8's automatic's...just as easy as the Jeep! Same with 2500 Silverado diesel 4x4. Don't know about Ford.

Roland. On that road, you'll never run out of fuel. I fill up in Van Horn or in Marathon if I take the Big Bend Loop! Alpine and Marfa is a must stop! We always stay at the Broken Mill RV Park in Del Rio and stock up on Supply's, going and coming...only take I-10, when we are in a hurry or bad weather! Look for Camels! They where imported, back in 1800's for the military, but proved to be too much trouble, so they where set free...now they roam free! These are one hump.

rhpears. Just let the Park that you chose, when making the reservation, know that you will be on a cruise! When you arrive, let them know again...also, do not leave your sever hose out and turn off water at spigot, before you leave for ship! I always take a cab to ship, lot cheaper than leaving a toad in a lot at cruise terminal...they also have a special lane for entry and exit. Saves you a lot of sit time! I have sailed out of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, about 40+ times, in the past 6 years...mostly RCCL or RCI.

I have seen plenty of rigs parked in the lots of Galveston...problem is keeping batteries/inverter going. Yes, you can set up the generator to start automatically...cost of a campground is cheaper and more secure!

Trip advisor, rvpark review, Branson Chamber of Commerce, KOA and Pass port America!

Roland, I'll ask again. Where are you going to be on 90? From point A to ?

Haidenger. Interesting! In all my years as a member of FMCA, I never gave it a thought. I just presumed that what I got (not much), Canada got, in Canada! Have you contacted and asked FMCA Member Services? Thank you for the Post. Carl C.

TT. Tried Link, all I got from Google, was page not found. I did get a whole screen infomercial about a "Salty Pretzel"!

There are RV parks in Hollywood, in conjunction with the air boat rides & Everglades...google it. January is a long time away! Do you have a toad and what kind of RV? Welcome to the Forum!

REDFISH4U. Welcome to the Forum! That makes 2 of us...I have also, never been there and we are going up after the FMCA National Rally, in Gillette, WY. We plan on being there by the end of August. Got to go to Bend, OR. First...family! Where are you from? I go after Redfish quite often in Texas!

mistert. Welcome to an old, but useful post. Mine with Texas Tax, round numbers $400 each, I got 4...No, I don't trust the 50A at each house, anymore than I do at a campground. There's even one, hardwired in coach! Lot of $ or overkill? Not when you compare it with re wiring the coach and replacing it's electronic components! Oh, also the other factor, get one that lets you know if you have reverse Polarity, that will make you light up, like a living Christmas tree, as soon as you touch any part of the RV!!! As for KOA, I have never had a problem with them! Funny, how we never heard back from the OP!

TT. Thank You. See, proves my point...I'm one of the ignorant ones!

Ahh, the good old days! Pre high tech and computerized Plasma Cutters in 3D. The USA made tools and goods, that was the envy of the World. Your Grandkids and their kids, will have no clue what we are talking about, by their time, they will have no use for the tools or ability to re build an engine! It will all be Robotics... You might say, no! But who among us, can make and fix a wagon wheel of wood and a metal band? Build a sound and tight log house, from scratch, without the aid of "Modern Tools"?
