Re: Paint repair cost
Thank you for your posts. The coach is in Houston TX and I am back in New Zealand for our summer. I do fully understand the difference between good and bad and multiple colors etc which the coach has on the front. It is stone chipped not damaged My attempt was to find if $7k is reasonable or is it because I am a foreigner461Views0likes0CommentsPaint repair cost
I damaged our 04 safari cheetah high on the curb side on a tree limb and made an insurance claim. At the same time I asked for an estimate to repaint the front below the windscreen as it has been well stone chipped during its life. The estimate was $7,000 which frankly staggered me. But maybe that is the cost of getting repairs in USA. Can I get advice please from others who have had this done3KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Excellent Phone and Data Coverage with T Mobile
We had both t mobile and AT&T for nearly 2 months both on identical model iPhones. We had the t mobile and got AT&T to compare and it was MUCH better on our trip east from Houston to Florida and north to North Carolina where we dumped t mobile and went both phones AT&T. Cheaper too540Views0likes0CommentsRe: GPS purchase
Have used a garmin 760lmt AND a garmin 2555lm AND copilot (with dimensions loaded) on an iPad for 2 months continual travel. The 760 has consistently sent me into low height and overweight situations in spite of it being loaded with dimensions and on rv profile. Frankly I doubt that it uses the information. The disclaimers when you turn it on make me suspicious. I don't any longer use it for navigation but it is nice to have with a map view and to find Starbucks. Waste of money. But copilot on the iPad is brilliant and is used by our human copilot351Views0likes0CommentsRe: garmin 2797lmt vs cw rvnd 7735lm rand McNally gps-help pls
I need to reply to this as a frustrated 760lmt user who has just spent 2 months on the road in a 38ft A class full time with more months to go. We have an old garmin Nuvi 2555lm and had heard of the 760lmt as being both larger and therefore easier to see and being able to load details of size then selecting rv. We also have an iPad and have copilot. We load destinations into each. The small gps with no size restrictions the 760lmt with rv profile and copilot with rv profile. Here is the frustration. We left a campground in Maine and the 760lmt said go left the other two said go right. We went left and within half mile was an old rail bridge (been there for a hundred years) with an 11 foot clearance. Another time it offered that the route ahead was weight limited to 4 tons. It's options were to accept (eh) or cancel whereupon the 760 just cleared the whole trip, didn't offer options. These are two of many examples. To the extent I don't trust it. It is good when not using a loaded destination. Then it shows streets and exits coming. I trust copilot which seems to have everything and has never let us down and when we used the 2555 before the 760lmt it didn't let us down either though it didn't have dimensions loaded.307Views0likes0Comments
