Blake. I would hate to see what the guys roof looks like! Cinnabun? I left the ranch yesterday, not what it looked like to me... Carl

Tom. I bet you would... Carl

I'm at the Miss/AL border in a campground. Since I'm going to Perry, I have full tank of water and empty black/grey tanks. It was raining on/off when I got into space, so I waited until a lull in weather, with gen on, jacks down, slides out and a glass of wine in hand...about 20 min. then went out and connected elect and water. A 5th wheel came in next to me, Montana with 6 elect. jacks. Then it started raining again....I was having a steak dinner, by the time they where set up and he was soaked to the bone and the DW kept yelling at him to hurry up....they do that some times!! He had to be on elect. to operate jacks from outside! An hour ago, he started rigging down and just now pulled out ! It has not rained since 7pm last night. He had one pass thru storage in front and a storage area by front door....about half what I have and he's got a 40'. Case closed ! Carl

And how much does it cost? Carl

Kay. Carl

Bottom line to all of this is maintenance! mwilson8. If bought at dealer, take it back. Carl

Joe. Your suppose to do an annual AH service and exercise it once a month! What happened to your new sofa install yesterday? Carl

If the $5 per gallon is for real, then it would be worth keeping 10 gal. in garage! Carl

FIVE. I guess they did something different on mine! When I hook up to 120V, I press the inverter button on my control panel...that keeps a charge on my engine batteries. After running all day the engine batteries are full, but will start draining when camped. If I'm camped on generator, then it keeps everything charged. Strange! I run generator on manual, so I don't forget to turn off auto start when in my non vented garage! I have 20A electric, but we do have storms and some times the power will go off for 6 or 8 hours....since the only thing that is on is Fridge, the batteries don't run down, or never has, since I got rid of the ground interrupt switch. Carl

Kay. Would have been nice to meet you ! Blake. Wonder why mine is so bloody high ! Carl

I need to borrow somebody's DW or I'm going to be a cut out forever! Carl

I can't start the engine with Jacks down....I mostly use the air for level, then have to have 75 pounds in order to release brake!

FIVE. Thank you. it's perfect for 1....I understand the bath and half for 2. Carl

What is a Trager? I use the Q200 Weber with the little green gas bottles...otherwise at home I use a round charcoal Weber and Custom Stainless Steel Smoker by Pits &Spits for a crowd...It will do 6 Briskets, 20 pounds of Sausage, 8 BB Ribs and a dozen quail at a time! I never have, nor would I ever dream of taking that bad boy camping! It' been to several BBQ Cook Offs, including HLSS & BBQ. I cooked on the " Fowl Bunch" for 6 years....still tired of chicken! Carl

Never thought about it. Now that they come pre done, all I know is I got 4, 10' lengths and a L connector for park hole with a donut. I get a new set about every 5 years!, if one is better than another? Don't know, Wall Mart.

FIVE. The one they used for the 2010 Catalog, 45Y. Chassis December 09', built January 10' ! Carl

A HD Trike comes in at 1,100+/- !

Leave it at the lake house! With a note to neighbors, "You cook, you clean"! Or you can buy a Damon Outlaw and carry it in lew of a MC. Or tie it down on a Trike Hydra Lift. Your choice! We always say, "there's no Dumb question" on the Forum! Car

Joe. Great ! Hope you have all the parts ! Two many off the wrong parts or not enough...have fun! Thought of the day: I want to get 4 pigs, red pain and number them 1,2,3 and 5. Let them loose in Wally World and watch Security look for #4... Carl

ObedB. I would not bet on that! HR made some fine coaches back before the big bang! Come to thinking about it, they all (Manufacturers) did. After 07' it became a c**p shot. When I got this coach in 13', I rolled the dice and prayed that it was not a POS...lucked out. If I get another coach down the line, it will be a pre 06' anything (almost)! Have some friends out by Tyler, TX. that got 02' Dynasty's for less than $90K and got them remodeled with slide outs, spent another $60-85K and now have a coach that will be good for at least 10 years ! 4 of them, beautiful! Carl

As I posted above, I'm not interested in what others want. Just in what makes me comfortable. There comes a time when all coaches, no matter what you installed over the years...re-sale value is zip! Even if you get a brand new coach at 30-40% off MSRP, your still going to drop another 30+% as soon as you roll off the lot. If you look under our signature at bottom of page, you will note that most of our coaches are not anywhere close to new. We buy used or drive it into the ground ! Carl

bruceschindler. Your going to feel the bumps on I-71 no matter what you got. There are stretches of Interstate's that I hate! I know that I left parts of my coach coming off of Henderson, LA. on I-10 West bound or I-5 in CA. it is what it is! Even in my 45'. Since we don't have RV Hovercraft or magnetic highways, we live with it as best we can! So, as Brett said, we can improve the ride, don't expect a miracle ! Carl

I'm still in Texas...leaving tomorrow am! I-20 was shut down in 3 places in LA. They got 2 open now, but Shreveport area got 14-18 inches of rain in 8 hours! We had 12.8" ! Carl

Rambling Joe. My stress melted away 31 years ago....it's called Retired! Bill. You hit the nail on the head ! Especially the "Inspector" part... Carl

I do have a question, that I have been meaning to check on in other counties of Texas. My coach is registered in Galveston County and last year I paid $882 in tag fee, this year it was $762 (might have been a type-o). Is it the same in the other Co? State is by weight, but I don't know how much that is....anybody? Carl
