No toad today? No way! Prior to 1983, nobody that I knew had a toad, but all the "cookie cutter" coaches where short and operated on 15 or 30 amp! I got my first toad in 84' and never been without one since and I love the freedom! I do know a lot of people that still have no toad, but they carry motorcycles, scooters or mopeds instead...works for them! They do not play golf or go trout fishing! As Bill said, if your in a park for a length of time, then you also get a rental car and it's probably more cost efficient. My 2 cent worth. Carl

Rich, get rid off your "PC Keeper Software" if you can and then anti-malware! Carl

Confused! Never had a GMC 4x4 Canyon, but used to have a Colorado 4x4, last one was a 2012. Flat towed and never had to have anything by Remco, just put in N and hold the 2 buttons down until they stopped blinking, take out key and go! What am I missing? Carl

I know, that's why I'm not going there right after TCC! Some people can buy a new rig and not have a lick of trouble. I have always fallen into the other bracket!!! Carl

FIVE, I love it when things are wired differently from coach to coach! I don't have a switch in rear, just the plug in basement and a on/off inside coach... What year and model do you have now? Carl

Brett, I did not see anything about what size tire and only that it will swing R/L. Nothing about swinging down. How much does a mounted 22.5 weigh? Carl

Joe, snow will start later today! Yankee Chili? You need to come to Texas and learn how to make the real stuff! Where I am, we are looking for a high of 67 today, current is 46 and I have heather on! You can keep your BLIZZARD, the only Blizzard we have is a milk shake at DQ! :lol: I'd keep the "Scan Gauge" where it's at. Will we see you and DW at Perry in March? Carl

Walls Drug Store in S. Dakota, Glacier Park and Banff, Canada ( all part of the same park), Yellowstone, Snake River, Fish Market in Seattle, Olympia National Park, Astoria and all of Hwy. 101 South. Wine country of California, Grand Canyon, all the National Parks in the 4 corners area. Just a few! In 3.5 months you can cover a lot off the lower 48! Personally, I would get all my Ducks in a row and head out with no time frame in mind, just wander! 14 weeks or 40, I would do it... Trip planner, I only use when I have to be at a specific place and then I use FMCA! Good luck and enjoy the ride! Carl

Joe, you currently have an 02'. I suspect she has a newer than 84' in mind. They are relentless when it's on their minds and don't forget that there are 2402 bits of information per minute bouncing between both lobs of their brain...afford is not one of them! Carl PS. You got the chairs in?

ferg54, welcome to the Forum! I was there yesterday and we went over what I needed to fix. Was very surprised when they took time and fixed my bay door lock so I could use my water hookup again. My appointment is next Monday. That sure beats all the dealers that can't or won't take you for 4 to 6 weeks, because you did not buy from them! They took me into the bays to look at their work, spotless and I was impressed with their ability! They do complete re-model or build you a new conversion coach! Also do 5th wheel trailers and custom horse haulers. I fully expected my problems to be around $ 3 to 4,000 and they expect it to be less than $1,500! Will keep the Forum posted. Carl

Have had both GS and CN. No bad experience with either. Only heard that FMCA has a towing caveat. Carl

OK. 19.5 or smaller, maybe. 22.5 no way! Pre-steel belted radials, yes. This is 2016 not 1980 and with the Internet a tire is within 50 miles away. My coach can't stray to far off the beaten path! That's what a jeep is for... Carl

If it has to do with bills, I would pay a couple of months ahead and for Mortgage, RV payment and any other "big" bills, call them and find out how to do bank transfer over Internet. Same with credit cards. 6 weeks is not long! Carl

I will try that this week at campground! Carl

Hi, Brett, I have an on/off switch in coach. Have tried it and only in the on position will the heater work, off and no heater when plugged in. So yes, I plug it in when I arrive. If I need it, I just throw the switch. Carl

You got a pic of your coach...ask Puff how he does it! Prevost? Good luck! You wont be retiring any time soon! Carl

Ancira RV is back in Boerne, TX. and MHS in Alvarado, TX. got all off Ancira Alvarado Coaches via REV group that used to be Allied group! Confused? So am I ! MHS is having a Blow Out Sale! I'm really tempted to trade mine for a 2016 Tradition 43'...$40K difference looks pretty good. We will see, I have until 2/15 to think about it! Service in Texas!!! Carl

Welcome to the Forum! Where in Arizona? What size Motorhome?

I-40 from Memphis to Oklahoma City is a wash board (rough). Then good to Amarillo, great RV Resort in Vega (5 miles W off Amarillo). Was there last September. Big Tex is like Wall's Drug Store, you got to do it once...Spring, nice! Weather in Texas = rain, sleet, snow, ice, wind storm, all in one day! Going from Amarillo South to I-20 via Lubbock in winter, is no walk in the park either! This time off year, I-10 from Van Horn, TX. to Lordsburg, NM is subject to Dust Storms and Lordsburg to Benson, AZ is subject to Snow Storms, especially Texas Canyon! Carl

Puff. I left a comment on your blog. What do you carry that's light weight to give proper height off ground for proper drainage? Wood is heavy!

Ok. What about the 100 gal. fresh water tank? That's a lot of HP 3%!

In winter, I plug mine in when I get to campground, just in case I need it. This time of year, I only go to rally's, 4/5 days in Texas! I also use the anti-gel. Then I follow Brett's advice!

jbrunson. Don't know what you have now, or what your looking for, but if I lived in Troy, I would go to Tiffin in Red Bay, Al. From what I hear, Tiffin has got their act together again! They had a lot of problems in 2011 and I got caught in the middle... That said, I would buy again from Bob again. Carl

How did Nashville enter the picture? I agree with Bill, your just fishing Roland. Buy Carl

Right on! Every year, in Spring for me.., I prefer Bromide! Carl
