  1. Try Hydralift, they have lifts for all kinds of toys...fits into receiver and has another receiver for toad.
  2. Does it also happen on generator with invertor and charger on? Other thought is dead cell.
  3. Now, maybe, it will be easier to drive the bridge...less trucks?! Perhaps they will re build the bridge in our life time?
  4. Ahh yes. The load issue. Forgot about that once, way too many cabinets in coach! The opposite sex, hate a empty cabinet! Carl
  5. Don't really know what they where doing, other than scrambling to stay afloat...a lot of them went BK in one way or another! Monaco and the others that Monaco owned, Fleetwood and Alfa, those where the "big ones". Winnebago and Tiffin was not in trouble. Some conversion mfgs. like Featherlight and Foretravel also had to re organize. Sad to say, but I think the best rigs out there today where built prior to 06'! I have a 10' and the second owner. I was lucky! Would not do it again! I have noticed that the price for a 02-05 Dynasty has increased in the past 5 years, not decreased!!!!
  6. OK, moutonia. I'm really confused! A DP mfg. that does not have multiple product lines, I understand and their coaches go for $1.3 to 2.7 million. What I don't understand, is why you where looking at a Palazzo to begin with! Toad? Carl

    Double Coin Tires

    I have survived for 72+ years, by putting SAFTY first and the expense second...I go with the expert and that is the Tireman! I have 8 Michelins, that I replaced in August of 2014, using FMCA Fleet Program! Look at the coach I drive, then ask yourself. "would I and my family feel safe at 65mph on, I want to save a few bucks tires?" You have a nice coach. If Michelin made "Mudders", they would be on my Jeep...
  8. Blake. No pun intended...LOL desertdeals690. If you do need a full paint job in future, go to "Rocky Point" , Mexico....$ 1,200 US for 4 colors! Friend had it done 3 years ago and I watched...great job! Carl
  9. Morning after the Company party...every body had a bad day!
  10. Is your coach level? Will the slide work with engine running? When it's "cold" outside, there is contraction and without a level coach, slides don't work real well. Blake has the answer if nothing else works. If you have to strap it, then go to shop!
  11. Newell would be my choice. Don't forget that 06' to 10' was not good years for the RV Industry! Carl
  12. Can you talk to the mechanic who fixed it 2 years ago? Or the dealer?
  13. Kay. If I remember correctly, Bluebird came out with their first Motorhome in 1973 and it had a Ford engine. Next, they used the 3208 Diesel aspirated and non aspirated. They came out with the Wanderlodge, top of the line coach, around 88' or 89'. Then the BMC. I don't remember the year that Bluebird made their last RV Coach...but they where top end coaches! I almost bought a 1985 DP 35', my wife won, she wanted a Barth. Bummer!
  14. I-55S, about 5 miles from Memphis is a good campground. Agree with Bill on Riverside in Little Rock. Since I generally come from Gladewater, TX. When going East or West on I-30, West bound I don't stop until Abilene, TX. If you have time, take I-30 to Mt. Pleasant and get on Hwy 271S to Gladewater, stay at Antique Capital of Texas RV Park, very nice. Then go Hwy 271 to I-20W...nice little side trip on good roads!
  15. 07' Tour, came with a Nocool and had it replaced with a 20 cu. ft. Samsung, no problems for 4 years! 11' Allegro Bus came with a Samsung French Door and the only problem I had was the plastic door tabs that kept on breaking...had metal tabs made, no more problem! The current Coach has a 19 Whirlpool 2 door...no problems! I have 2 good friends that I visit several times a year. One in NE Texas on a ranch, 2 miles of dirt road from gate to house! The other in La. Hwy 35 from I-10 to Kaplan has to be driven to believe and then a mile of dirt road to his house, also a large ranch! Then think of any bad road between E coast & W coast etc. I LOVE Residential Fringes!
  16. Very seldom that I run in below 32 degree weather, but when I do, I have Aqua Hot on, set at a comfortable 70! I can't relate to "0" degrees! My generator is also on...all electric coach.
  17. Ernie, Kay made no mention of Wanderlodge being a conversion. Prevost is also nice....but it all depends on how much he can spend...the last inquiry we had, it was $120K max and that is way low!

    Greetings

    Happy New Year! Been retired 31 years and have not figured it out yet! Seems I had more time to do things when I was working...
  19. Interesting, but no info on weight. $ 5K is a bit steep!
  20. Happy New Year, Tom, and thanks for the reminder! Have no clue as to, how DMV computes the weight/cost! I asked the little Blake girl, but all she did was stare at me...I get to do it again next week on all my vehicles! Carl
  21. 2013 Modified Wrangler Sport Automatic. No base plate. Hook up to front bumper, "D" ring support. Road master A/T #6000 pounds. Invisa Brake (in a dust/water proof Lexan box). Blue OX is great for a heavy truck or SUV, but to heavy for me. The unit weights a ton! Transfer case in N and Transmission in P, key in my pocket. Happy New Year.
  22. "In XS"...(No, not the dead R & R Band).
  23. The biggest fee in Texas on RV's is License plate. It's by weight and mine is $832 per year!
