When registering a RV in Georgia, be prepared to pay the total ad valorem tax up front. Having done this we just went get our $20.00 tag and were hit with $50.00 Highway Impact fee which will be an annual fee! The law reads: "Highway Impact Fees - all vehicles in the following weight classes will annually be assessed: Vehicle Weights 15,000 to 26,000 pounds. 26001 pounds and over Highway Impact Registration and Renewal Fee. $50.00. $100.00 And on our tag/ registration papers the RV is classified as a Passenger Car/Light Truck, the same as our Small pickup! Can someone help us make sense of this?

Hello! We need a secured rest area or a service station opened 24 hrs or a Walmart.... someplace to stop overnight on our rushed way North... would you know where we can stop? We need to arrive North of Colorado ASAP. I was thinking of going this time thru ATL/ST.Louis/Kansas/Lincoln,NE/I-80 to Cheyenne/Ft. Collins. (Somewhat cooler than I-70?) From Gainesville to Tennesee is approx. 8 hours (including gasoline stop), but we should not drive more than 5-6. I'm thinking that by-passing ATL after 7 PM might be easier traffic-wise, but don't know where to stop. We'd prefer to avoid a campground since it's just a couple of rest hours.... Or.... we could stop just before ATL and passing it late morning... Any suggestions? Thank you! Jocelynn and Quico Driving a 28' Concord/Coachmen with tow.

Hello All, Glad to know you're here and you all were recommended by one of my neighbors. For the very first time, in April/May this year, I bought a motorhome, A 1996 Manor, 30 ft, by Thor Industries West, One of the conditions of the 'sale' was that the salesman had to teach me to drive one of this giant rolling hotel rooms! I live in Georgia north of Atlanta and will be a pet (dogs mostly, sometimes a cat) traveler. A friend joined me on the very first trip to Doll Mountain at Carter's Lake around Ellijay, Georgia, which is only about 45 miles north of where I live. It was a little scary yet it was such a nice weekend and the RV neighbors were so helpful in helping us find how to use the hot water heater and furnace, and a few other things I had forgotten in the training sessions. I do have a couple technical questions and need to know where to post them. One has to do with white stuff coming from the roof and streaking the windows. It washes off. The next will have to do with winterizing and when best to do it in Georgia north of Atlanta. I will not use it after November or early December, or first forecasted freeze. I'll have it winterized by the dealer until I learn how to do it myself. It's stored just eight miles north in a covered storage. It's been highly recommended that it be kept under a covered storage which is 2-3 times more expensive than uncovered. I do want to do what keeps this old unit in good stead. As you can see, I'm a bit of a rambler. Denna
