Which one ? Tiffin, Newmar, Prevost, Monaco?

What was the original topic to the post again? I was following the comparisons now I have no idea where that went...

An RVer that will not pay to stay at a campground and decides to stay at a Walmart to save money does not have any say so as to who can run a generator or not.

I have to agree with you, I would have to run my genny too if I was boondocking and it was warm out.

I would also try and not park near anybody but if they park next to me, well, if they do they will hear my genny.

To the poster that said "it gets down to 95 at night", I just couldn't sleep at that temp. I have to have it cold to sleep well. I use a lot of air in my stick and brick but not much heat in the winter (70 degrees in the house in the summer, 65 in the winter).

At least your generator is quiet. :B

Actually I should clarify; the loud screaming contractor type generators drive me nuts, as do some of the gas generators in some units. Most - not all, diesel generators aren't too bad.

We once camped with a guy who ran his gas generator 24/7. It was terrible. When people mentioned how bad it was, and there were many, he responded "it's not that bad". Apparently after listening to it scream so much he had partial hearing loss. It really was THAT bad.

I have to agree with sailor_lou too. I've always said, I don't care if you run a piece of rope between 2 trees and hang a blue tarp over it, as long as you're having fun you're welcome at our campfire.

That's good, glad you clarified it. It's what I recommend,....a ONAN Quiet Diesel generator, mounted on its proper slideout, contained in a insulated compartment in the front of the motorhome. AND, ducted air conditioning, such that you can run all the air conditioners during the day, and only the front unit during the night. IN our cool quiet bedroom, sleeping on a king bed,......in our little house-on-wheels,.....THAT'S what we paid for. BTW Walmart parking lots work for us,....for a quick overnight stop.

Wow...this thread sure has gone

I believe if you are sleeping in a parking lot you get what you get. If the guy next door is hot and wants to run his genset, more power to him (pun intended). I must be one of lucky ones because I have never met a "rude" RVer. Then again, we are pretty friendly neighbors, from multi-million dollar rigs to tents we usually share an appy and/or a drink with everyone around us. What we do is not camping, we are RVing.

Safe travels to all.

While I know you have had at least 1 RV prior to purchasing your current $2.1 million dollar Liberty, I find this statement hard to swallow. It's like saying you never met a rude Wal-Mart customer. This Country has gone to HE double hockey sticks in a hand basket and the RV community is no exception. I have been a full timer since 1997 and I actually have seen a rude RVer (or 10). Would you like to hear the story about the RVer who approached me in a Wal-Mart parking lot to let me know I should not have run my generator over-night as it disturbed the other RVers who were staying there? Yep, great folks RVing out there for the most part, but they don't have any kind of an exclusive on being civil.

I'm with Mr Mark on this one. While we have met some rude seasonal folks before, I can't say we've ever met a rude RV traveler. We've met some that weren't as happy as others, but rude isn't a term I'd use.

I'm also with Kayteg a bit too. Lets face it, we don't "camp", we travel.

I'll also say I'm in the same camp as time_to_go_now. I absolutely HATE generators running all night. Crack open a window and turn on the Fantastic Vent. The breeze that comes in really is refreshing.

Good luck on your search.

Mr Mark, I, for the first time saw a Liberty Coach for sale and that is just off the Hook! :B You are riding in style my man... Wow I mean Wow... Wait till my wife see's the one I emailed her... I am ruined...lol no other Coach will ever do...

Haha

very nice. I will come down in about 3 days... Tilll then, Orevwaaaa

Ocean Mist, I think locating a unit with a separate tub AND shower will be hard to find. I've seen where this a full size tub that has a shower head.

It really irks me that anybody would snub someone because they are driving an older coach. Every coach needs love and attention. :)

Luckily, I have not met a rude RV'er even if they were driving a Prevost (even when we had our Monaco).

So, what I have learned here is that I may want a Monocouque Design. Which Manufacturers are the Monocouque?

That Newmar and Tiffin are pretty good although they are not monoquoque?

Freightliner and spartan are good as well, but they are bolted to the Chassis.

Wanderlodge is a nice rig. Some folks said that Prevost Owners, the later models might not be a cordial to a 1988 Prevost owner...lol

So, I think I want one with a seperate Bathtub and shower. I saw one but forgot who made it...
