Re: Passenger pickup at McCarren Airport with class A motorhome
Thanks for your great responses. I found out that McCarran airport does have an oversized rig parking lot with free shuttle service to and from arrival and departure gates. I just hope I don't mess up and take a wrong turn going there. I will do a Google map satellite view search as one of you suggested to ensure I don't screw things up. :-) I have two family groups to pick up arriving 3 hours apart so parking and letting them shuttle to my rig seems the best solution.931Views0likes0CommentsControl Panel Lights Flashing
I have a 2007 TropiCal (National RV). I had a couple of 6-volt house batteries on my MH go bad recently. The lights on my control panel inside my coach were flashing wildly throughout the entire panel. I placed all new batteries in yesterday thinking this would stop the problem. It didn't. Any suggestions before I take it in for servicing?911Views0likes2CommentsRe: MH Licensing costs in NV, AZ and Utah?
I called the Arizona motor vehicle department this morning and they quoted a registration fee for my 37 foot 2007 TropiCal d.p. at $481.00. Which didn't make sense based on the figures presented by others but I will go with their call. I think this type of confusion (i.e. potential discrepancy between what Arizona DMV folks have told me and what I will be charged when I go to register next week) is just why I asked fellow RVers for what their actual real life registration fees were instead of calling DMV in the first place. I am expecting it to be much closer and slightly higher than the approx. $620 FIRE UP paid to register his rig.488Views0likes0CommentsRe: MH Licensing costs in NV, AZ and Utah?

I tried calling DMV in California and it was such a nightmare just trying to get through that it has made me a bit gun-shy. :S:S X-2, Why research when you can have someone do it for you! That'a right J-Rooster, my mama didn't raise no fool. :-)487Views0likes0CommentsRe: MH Licensing costs in NV, AZ and Utah?
FIRE UP wrote: Campnfuls, You're certainly welcome. Now, we've got an offer on a place in Havasu (see my thread/post on: A new home for the big beast (and us)) We've checked on a few costs over there in Havasu. One, home owners insurance. Ours is presently $1,100.00 for our home etc. in CA. For the brand new home in Havasu, with the RV garage and actually more square footage, is going to be $371.00 for the same, word for word, coverage for coverage, policy. Our present property taxes are $3300 per year for our 25 year old home. Our brand new home over there, an estimated---$1400.00 I'm going to get an actual raise in my retirement pay by about $1,100.00 dollars a year due to a lower state income tax rate. In Havasu, there's NO ANNUAL OR BI-ANNUAL SMOG CHECKS! We'll see, once we're over there and settle in, what, if any, other financial benefits we may or may not encounter. As far as anything related to the DMV over there, the only thing I've found out so far is, we don't have to have to take any drivers license tests. All we have to do is, pay $10 for my regular class C transfer, $10.00 for the wifes regular Class C transfer and, my motorcycle license transfer is $7.00. So, it's whopping $27.00 for three new drivers licenses. Yahoooo. As for vehicles, including the motor home, well, I've heard some conflicting stories so, it will be what it's going to be. If I were you, I'd look into Lake Havasu City for your next home. There's much more to do than Laughlin or, Bullhead City. Lake Havasu city's always got some sort of activity planned. But, not so much that it's a pain to live there. Just for grins, take a cruise on realtor.com or, azmoves.com and look up: 3672 Outpost Dr, Lake Havasu City AZ or, 2951 Tonto Dr. Lake Havasu City AZ. Both are brand new with RV garages attached. I like the Outpost unit better because it's got auxiliary RV or boat parking alongside the RV garage. Just some info here. Take care. Scott Hey FIRE UP "Howdy neighbor!! Well DW and I finally made our decision and pulled the trigger to relocate to AZ. We purchased a very nice 2,200 sq. ft. custom build house on a half acre in Fort Mohave, AZ. It came with an attached RV garage and attached double boat-deep garage for all the toys (Just over 1500 sq. feet of garage space alone). The cost was $288,000 and the property tax is about the same as our much smaller California house we just left. Cheaper sales tax, cheaper property tax, much cheaper fuel costs, less crowded and much less polluted. What's not to love about all that. And when it gets too hot (and it will), we head for the cooler climes until relatively much cooler temperatures return. The move was really a no brainer.487Views0likes0CommentsRe: MH Licensing costs in NV, AZ and Utah?
Scott, Thanks for providing licensing cost specifics for Utah. That was a real eye opener. As you and your wife have decided, we too will be settling in Arizona. Not just because of RV licensing costs but additionally for the other reasons you mentioned. We just may become neighbors as we are considering moving to either Bullhead City or Lake Havasu City or somewhere in between. The info you provided about RV licensing costs in Utah tells me all I need to know about moving to that state. Arizona here we come! :-)283Views0likes0CommentsRe: MH Licensing costs in NV, AZ and Utah?
Thanks to those that gave me great things I need to consider when researching cost comparisons in the three states I am considering. Considering my relicensing fee in 2013 was about $800 for my 2007 model yr 37' dp I suppose that amount is not too far out of line with other nearby states charge. Would love to go full time. but DW is not onboard ..... yet. ;-)283Views0likes0CommentsRe: MH Licensing costs in NV, AZ and Utah?
Thanks Criteydog for your awesome offer. I wait with anticipation for what you find out. This forum just couldn't function with such enthusiastic members giving their all to help a fellow rver. You have a great day and do keep your light-hearted nature and very highly commemorable "can do" spirit. I would expect nothing less from an honorable ex-serviceman. Have a wonderful day and thanks again. PS: Happy that I could bring a smile to your face today. To those others that provided me answers and some other issues to think about regarding this issue, I truly appreciate your responses as well.340Views0likes0Comments
