Class A Motorhomes

Actually, I am a gun owning conservative with ten years US Navy service with time served in Vietnam.

I have not posted much in the two years I have been a member, because unlike many on this forum, I only post when I think I can actually help the OP.

To those that think that a ten year old Foretravel has outdated equipment. It only goes to support that some members simply know nothing about Class A Motorhomes.

I request that they place the type of Class A Motorhome that they own in the their signature.

I guess you could start with yourself since you have no signature, and I have no idea what you have. Are you sure you have the right to post in this forum?

As for your concern, I could care less. A slide is a slide, and windows are windows, etc. Many experiences we have as RVers translate to different types. Also, who's to say that someone that currently owns a 5th Wheel didn't have a Class A for 20 years previously.

In all honesty, for someone (as in YOU) that hasn't posted on this forum all that much you sure seem full of yourself. Good luck.

I fully agree with LOG! I am embarrassed to say that we used to own a few travel trailers but now, we have our class A! Look, we worked hard to get to where we are now and I for one don't see any reason lowering myself down to the travel trailer forums to offer help when obviously my help would be worthless being a current Class A owner. It would be like expecting Einstein to house train a dog.

I have no idea why those people occasionally come in here with the Trojan olive branch of "Help" when it is obvious to clear thinking individuals like LOG and myself that their intent is to obtain the status and privilege of Class A owners without having to do the actual work. It is simply above their station in life and it would indeed be cruel to offer the false hope of entertaining their "input".

Lord, I hope you all read my signature and realize I am obviously kidding...

Sounds like a typical pseudo-intellectual liberal elitist to me.

In 2 plus years as a member he is still a new member. That is less than 50 posts. He may move up with all his responses to his post? Maybe that is his goal. He doesn't have anything to contribute and wants to move off the "new member" status.

I, for one, appreciate the fact that OP posted this thread. It shows me that my underlying belief in the stupidity of mankind was not overstated. Most of the people I have met over my years of RVing have been friendly and helpful, no matter what kind of RV they have. I have shared meals, adult beverages and fun with folks owning everything from tents to Prevosts and never ran into a snob like this. Sorry OP, I really don't give a rat's rear end who helps me solve a problem or what kind of rig they have, just whether or not they can and are willing to help.

For all the members that are somehow missed the point of my original post, please be assured that you do not have to block my post. I do not respond to questions that do not directly apply to Class A Motorhome. That is one of the main reasons I would like to know the type of RV that a member is asking about. And, for all of the members that have not owned a Class A DP, then you really have no clue about the systems that one has. Some electronics are the same, some furnaces are the same, some air conditioners may be the same. But the generators, air bags, inverters, leveling systems, slide outs, engines, and a host of other items are not the same. I also own a Winnebago Itasca Gas Class A Motorhome. There is no comparison between the two as far as the systems go. Travel Trailers and Fifth wheels have no engine or transmission. Most do not have a generator. For sure not a diesel generator. As I said, the title of this forum is Class A Motorhomes. There are forums for travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class C and B motorhomes. I do no read those forums because I feel I would not have much to share. I only belong to two forums, this one and the Foretravel forum. I read this forum to increase my knowledge of Class A Motorhomes. I have to say that I don't gain much knowledge. I belong to this forum because I like the what Good Sam Club has to offer.

Many, if not most people on this forum have owned many different types of RV's and their knowledge base is not limited to their current RV. Most that post on here also do their own maintenance on their coaches. The varied amount of info from the members here is full of knowledge, if you just open your mind and accept it.
What we need to know from you is do you do your own work or just write a check to someone else to take care of your coach? I notice that your coach is a 10 year old 2004 model. ALL of your systems are outdated and anything you can contribute to this forum may be useless to members that have newer coaches.
If you ever break down at the side of the road, or take your coach in for any service, be sure to verify that the mechanic also owns a Class A otherwise you may not want him to touch your coach. :B

I should add that if you check at the top of the page, there are forums that deal specifically with Good Sams Club services. If that subject is what you are primarily interested in, THIS class A forum is the wrong one for you. :W

aaahhh, NO.
I don't think we missed the point, we heard it loud and clear. Albeit when all of us block your posts we won't be hearing it anymore!

The mindset of someone that owns other than a Class A Motorhome tends to make their posts worthless.

Sadly YOU my friend have a lot to learn about RV'ing.

In the RV community there are large over laps between types. What is the difference between my 31' class A built on a F53 and a 31' TT being pulled by a gas powered F250 with a V10? Not very much. Probably the generator built into my coach. Do the comparison between a DP and a fifth wheel being pulled by a Dodge truck. Good chance both have the same engine. Slide out problems, well the fifth wheel builders started that idea maybe 20 years ago. Absorption fridge problems, pop ups have them and they work exactly the same. Black tank odors, well my poop doesn't stink so I can't help you with that one. Are roof leaks or delamination restricted to class A types only?

Sure there are some questions that one could say are very specific to a class A coach but there really isn't much.
