Excellent condition, one minor dent, otherwise nice inside and out. Stored under cover in Texas. He's picked it up and is hauling it home today. He found it on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/92-Airstream-34-travel-trailer-/302367160171 There are deals to be found on Airstreams - mostly in the south, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. Keep looking and you'll find one. Bill541Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2005 Monaco Trail-Lite R-Vision 213 - Class B+

There's a R-Vision forum for Trail-Lite motorhomes at http://www.r-visioncamping.org/modules.php?name=Forums When I had a Trail-lite 213 B+, I found the forum useful in finding information and parts.

jonhunt wrote: Also if there are any particular things he needs to know before making an offer. If you follow the Roadtrek owners group on Facebook, you'll see that the new high-tech Roadtreks with the advanced electronics and lithium batteries have a lot of technical issues. Especially those on the Mercedes chassis. If your brother wants to save money and have a more reliable coach, advise him to look at the Roadtreks on the Chevy chassis. To save money, advise him to look for a two or three year old Roadtrek Ranger. The Ranger is the same as the Roadtrek 190 Popular on the Chevy chassis, without some of the high-end appointments inside. Same chassis, same floorplan, same appliances (except no automatic couch), as the 190, but $40,000 less in price. See example at https://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/Manteca-Trailer-%26-Motorhome-735336/listing/2013-Roadtrek-Roadtrek-Ranger-RT-121870810 I enjoyed my Roadtrek Popular for two years, but eventually sold it (for a profit), to get a slightly larger CoachHouse Platinum B+.

This would be sometime in Sept Midway campground (national park services) on Alligator Alley, close to air boat rides, close to Oasis Visitor Center, thirty miles to Mikusukee Casino (boondocking). Midway has level, wide sites, easy-in, easy-out. Electric and water hookups, dump station at gate. https://www.nps.gov/bicy/planyourvisit/midway-campground.htm Another option, also on Alligator Alley is Monument Lake Campground (National Park Service). https://www.nps.gov/bicy/planyourvisit/monument-lake-campground.htm For fun, stop in at the Skunk Ape Research Center and Museum on Alligator Alley. They also have a nice campground -http://www.evergladescamping.net/ Bill692Views0likes0CommentsRe: Serious Flaw in Firefox and Chrome Browsers!
Google has just released an update to Chrome that fixes the problem. To get the update in Chrome, click the 3 vertical buttons on the far right top menu and choose 'help', and then click 'about Google Chrome'. This will start the update which takes less than a minute. After the update, if you visit the demo link in the hacker article linked above, you'll see it no longer shows the phishing url (apple.com). Bill211Views0likes0CommentsRe: Scamps
Stumps wrote: Hi Folks! I'm looking at a few lightweight campers, and the Scamp (13) looks promising, but it's tough not being able to visit a dealership and sit in them. I had a Scamp 16 and it was very tight inside for just one person. They are cute on the outside, but have minimal room on the inside. A Scamp 13 would be just a step above a tent - but too small for two or more people. Because of the cult following of Scamps and Casitas, you pay a premium price for used ones. For less money, you can get a nicer newer light weight aluminum trailer, better suited for two or three people. Bill200Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is this horrible noise in our new Class C?
Big Time II wrote: After spending so much money on virtually a new coach, it's pretty disappointing. Get on the roof and check both the vent covers. If the locking pin that allows the covers to hinge, wasn't inserted properly when installed, it will allow the covers to lift and drag the pin making a horrendous noise - almost like nails on a chalkboard. It's an easy fix, just insert the locking pin correctly. Bill601Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is this horrible noise in our new Class C?
Big Time II wrote: we do have brand new vent covers installed. I had the same noise about two weeks after new vent covers were installed. Turned out that one of the hold down clip pins on the vent cover wasn't installed properly, and only went through one of the holes in the cover. This allowed the vent cover to lift up about an inch when going more than twenty miles an hour. The unlatched pin was scraping on the roof as the vent cover flapped. I got a ladder, climbed up and pushed the pin through both holes and secured it properly. Now, no more noise. You can see the clip pins in the video at https://youtu.be/w_w7mka-dHo?t=2m55s Bill Bill601Views0likes0CommentsRe: Opinions on Gulfstream B Touring Cruiser 5230
rowekmr wrote: Greetings, The listing doesn't specify generator were they all generator prepped from factory or was that an option. What is their tow capacity? Thanks The 2004 BT Cruiser 5230 I had, had a Generac generator. The coach was well built, on a Ford e350 chassis with a V10. It handled well, had solid wood cabinets, a full size fridge and oven. The V10 has plenty of power, with tow capacity of 3,500 pounds. Bill990Views0likes0Comments
