  1. MOMCAT.  Welcome! :)

    I also miss it, been a in, out, in, member since 1967 and even as an "A" member for 8 years, I got the magazine and member, stop/stay, help, annual directory!  

    As stated by Herman, times change and we need to adjust with it.  IMHO the membership grew to the point of astronomical cost to maintain the Directory and mail out hard copies to all active F members, L members, C members and A members, each year!

  2. Everything in OP's post, indicate that he will be flying in and renting an RV there!  I have thought about that before, but never done it....last time there by coach was 1987.

    I would call Alaska Tourism and get all you can from them!  The same big rental companies here, have offices in AK., so go to RV rental on web.

    We are going on a 60 day, Fantasy Tour to AK this July.  Spoke to them last week and its still on, but you got to have the COVID Vaccination to get into Canada.  We can just wait and see!  The only tour that I know that's cancelled this year, by all 3 operators (SOL, Adventure and Fantasy), was Rocky Point, Mexico this month!


  3. Get your slab done, the cost of cement is rising and its already expensive.  We want to put in cement for the coach at home & at the camp.  30' x 6" x 60' at home=$26,000....camp is 20' x 6" x 45'.....camp can wait, but I want to enclose the whole parking area at home by November!  The cementer is a cousin of DW, so we get it at cost.  Camp is another general contractor, so way more expensive!


  4. Airstreams are in demand, especially the retro with modern day conveniences!  I had the 1978 Suburban 4x4, with 454.  Great driving machine!  Had a Buzzard come thru the front windshield and died in back seat....Insurance totaled it.  Stench was unreal.  I've had 3 Ford Expeditions, wife has a 2014 (she loves it), they do not hold the road well, including hers! 


  5. Very true!  If you want a coach in the 38' to 45' bracket.  

    I have friends who have the Allegro Red DP and are very happy.  The only thing they added was the Saf-T-Plus!  They will be going to Alaska with us this summer and we where together on a Fantasy Tour to the Eastern Canadian Providences for 61 days in 2019.  The 3 of them pull Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and had, have no problems.  


  6. dee.

    Good question.  I had a 2010 AC Tradition 45Y, only because I could not justify the difference in cost for bling and electronics!  2014 Heritage was the year before Allied stopped building them and Tradition (Allied is the parent company for REV, before turning over the coach manufacturing to REV in 2015.  AC Tradition, Eagle and Heritage was/is a solid built coach, heavy because of the house construction and Spartan chassis. The 2014 Heritage has a ISX600 engine, 1950 torque, 4000 Allison and 12.5 kw generator. Also Silverleaf computer system.  

    Since you live in Centerville, if your considering a coach from MOT in Nacogdoches, I suggest you pay for a independent RV inspector....its worth it.


  7. We have a Weber 200 for coach, small green bottles of gas and has worked since 2010.  At the house we have a 48" commercial Weber electric kettle, it will go to 1,200 degrees!  We brought the other Webbers to the camp house, they are gas operated.

    Other than custom  built Pits, I have always liked my Webbers! :D
