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.

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!

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...
-
Interesting, but no info on weight. $ 5K is a bit steep!
-
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!

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.

"In XS"...(No, not the dead R & R Band).

The biggest fee in Texas on RV's is License plate. It's by weight and mine is $832 per year!

As Bill said...he's from Houston. I will assume he knows Texas and probably coastal La.
That said, I would recommend the Milton, Fl. KOA, Exit 31 off I-10 for an extended stay...lots of places to visit in a 50 mile radius!
Also, get on Hwy. 19/27/98 from Ft. Walton to Perry, Fl. and Perry to Hudson, Fl. Don't know where in Fl. he wants to go, but
Chiefton or Hudson is a good jumping across Fl. spot.
Tom mentioned Hwy 85 from I-8, it takes you to Anjo, then Why, Az. Organ Pipe is just north of Lukeville and it's in the NE section of
the Socorro Desert. If you feel like it you can cross the border at Lukeville and go another 84 km to "Rocky Point, Mexico".
Just make sure you have a full tank of fuel before leaving Anjo. In Why you can take Hwy. 86 to Tucson...good road last year!
Happy New Year and have a great trip!

Too my knowledge, Freightliner does not take a 2 week vacation! Bob Tiffin being down that long...is new to me.

Big enemy for Diamond Shield and Paint = Love Bugs! Get them off ASAP!!
I have no pitting on my Shield, therefor, no reason to remove. For me, it's the biggest bang for the bucks and if I ever have to remove
it, I would have it done and re applied by Professionals. My time, is the most valuable asset I have!!!
The Blake Bra looks funky and the Plexi glass will yellow over time! Lexan is price prohibitive...

If read this link correctly, most of us can't legally go to FMCA convention this summer in Springfield, MA.
I believe we covered this "Can of Worms" in depth on another post last year!

Been 10 months! This will be interesting info for another....

Herman. Happy New Year!
Like your idea of one pass fits all States, but that is like Congress agreeing on a issue. It ain't going to happen in my life!
From reading all the States that have a Tag, we would have as many cards to keep track off as we did in Texas during dry county days-- $3.00 for a club membership to get a beer!

I would do as Tom say's, but I would take I-30 out of Little Rock, then I-20/I-10 to Arizona. Less chance of deep freezing temps!

Got my current and a Allegro Bus from Lazydays, Tampa. Sales is good, service is not! I have noticed that their MSRP is higher than
Factory MSRP.
I will shop around before my next coach & talk to factory about price first...then order from a dealer that has good service! FMCA
Convention is a great place to start.....

Cummins is the HWH rep. in US. They install and fix, it's also the only place to get a computer mother board!
Give them a call for price.

There is a caveat. If you do find a DP in your price range, there is a matter of care and feeding. DP's are not cheap to insure, operate, service or fix! 8 tires alone, is in the $7,000 to $9,000 dollar range, depending on size, every 6 to 7 years.
You can save some $$$ if your able to service your engine.
I think you should ask your race friends, the same questions your putting on us...
Happy New Year

I think there is a CG by La Mesa RV.

And now, A Happy, safe and healthy New Year to all!

There are plenty of 5th wheel, custom trailer haulers out there, that will do the job....no class A motor homes in your price range that I know
about, new or used!
Any thing less than 40' and you will have the tail wagging the dog!!!

I use Cummins Coach Care in Houston. Have been very satisfied with their work and knowledge. Will be there in January with a wish
list.
Good luck and Happy New Year.

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!
