Re: First coach: 2011 Tour or 2013 Journey
The biggest difference between the Tour and the Journey are the accessories. The Journey has furnaces and water heater. The Tour has Aquahot. If you fulltime in the colder climates. There is nothing better than Aquahot for floor and water heat. The Tour also may have a dishwasher. Journey might also, but probably not. The interior trims are different. Basically they are very close in every aspect527Views0likes0CommentsRe: Motorhome/Toad vs Truck-Trailer/Chase Car
this is a typical conversation. It will always boil down to personal preference. The MH is always a bit more convienent. easier to drive in more harsh weather (note there is NO type of RV configuration that will be a real nice drive in snow, ice, or high winds). If you are going to be set up for long periods of time, the only "sensible" choice is a trailer. It is not good on any drivetrain to sit still for extended periods. However, if you drive all the time, you will be "wearing out" the MH drivetrain. Meaning it may be more expensive repairing/replacing certain mechanical parts on the MH, than it would be on a truck. It is certainly more costly to replace a MH than it would be to replace A truck, or A trailer. (Replacing truck and trailer at once might be about the same as replacing a MH though). -----My only reasonable thought is this. Insurance. Yes. Insurance for truck and trailer is generally less than insurance for the MH alone. Not to mention insurance for the toad. OH yeah. Fuel mileage. Well that is about the same either way.561Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sprinter Class C questions
Well the super C is a fairly large size vehicle. They all have similar build quality. The Sprinters are small, but do get decent fuel mileage and ride good. The Winnebago View is a very good product. It is a house built by Winnebago resting on a Mercedes Sprinter Chassis. Get the bigger V6 engine. They are awesome for 2 people. Should tow your utility trailer fine. They tow our lot vehicles just fine.506Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slide underside wear with schwintek system
those plates help a lot, we put lots of them on. However, (most of the time). the problem is not dirt or even wear. The problem is a water leak somewhere, and the bottom of the slide is rotting out. Be sure to check all seals. Roof and Slide. I bet water is coming in somewhere161Views0likes0CommentsRe: Leaking Window
Why not go to the website http://www.kinro.com/ Go to RV windows in the support tab. If this is window with a frame. Just unscrew all the screws inside. Pull the window out. Scrape all the old butyl tape off. Clean good with a quality adhesive cleaner. Reapply butyl tape. Reinstall window. Apply thin bead of silicone caulk around top and sides. Im not real familiar with the frameless windows. Other than we get lots of complaints about them leaking, rattling, opening while driving206Views0likes0Comments
