Re: Possible First Class A
How is the fuel milage on it? I'm thinking around 8mpg? I mean it doesn't matter because I get about 11 with my F250 now and we have to drive two vehicles everywhere we go because it only seats 6 and we have 7 in our family. But I didn't know how it would be with towing a vehicle vs without.259Views0likes0CommentsRe: Possible First Class A
Yeah I understand how it is with RV's and the manufactures. We have owned a few pull behinds and they all have their issues. But with a family of 7 it gets old having to take two vehicles. I was looking at getting something like a Ford Excursion to be the pull vehicle, but we have decided to go with a motor home. I just don't want to spend 100k and realize the RV is full of issues. I would like to stay well under that but I'm kinda leery about buying used since I have had bad luck with used TT in the past even after having them inspected. The one we have now has been great until this new water leak..LOL259Views0likes0CommentsRe: Soft spot in floor

To the left where that cubby is there is an outside storage on the other side of the wall. I have had lots of problems getting that thing to seal up. I'm wondering if all that was left over from that leak or if its still leaking. I think were going to fix it and then trade it in on a Motor Coach.453Views0likes0CommentsPossible First Class A
Well my wife and I are looking to purchase our first class a motor coach. This came about after finding a leak in our 2006 Coachman Spirit Of America that I'm currently fixing to trade in. We have looked at a lot but with a family of five kids there isn't a lot out there that will accommodate the whole family. My question is we are looking at a 2017 THOR MOTOR COACH WINDSPORT 29M. I know it says it will sleep five but with the bunk that comes down from up above the cabin, couch and dinette I think it will be good for us since our kids are so small. What are your thoughts on Thor motor coaches. Thanks for any help or suggestions of other ones we should look into. We would like to stay around 100k range.1.9KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Soft spot in floor

I'd suggest you either find a friend with a blower or buy one at Harbor Freight and perform your own test. You may also be able to rent one. All that is needed is some cardboard, some tape, a blower, and a Windex spray bottle of soapy water. It will uncover even the smallest pinhole. I have a blower. So I guess I need to google how to do it myself. I have all of that to do it.453Views0likes0CommentsRe: Soft spot in floor
Thanks for the advice. I can take pictures but the flooring is still down. I can just feel the soft spot. I know water has to be coming in from somewhere. I looked at seals on roof and everything looks good. Id rather not have to pay for a pressurized leak test but I've done a leak test with the water hose and can't find it. I just know if I pull the walls I'll see exactly where its been coming in. We last used the camper about 4 months ago and that spot wasn't there so its been leaking pretty good for it to have done that. Also I'm worried about mold. So it may be better to pull the walls.88Views0likes0CommentsSoft spot in floor
So I go camping this weekend and when I opened the camper on Thursday to get it loaded and ready for the weekend I notice a slight moldy/mildew smell. Well I live in Fl and it has been extremely hot and humid so I figured it was just because it was closed up for so long. Get it ready get to the camp ground and I open the back slide in the bunk house. When I walked back there I noticed a 2ft by 2ft soft spot in my floor. Its in the center of the room. I did have the storage door on the outside of the camper leaking last year. I have since fixed that. So my question is do I start on the inside and remove wall panels to look for signs of water or do I remove the sheet metal on the outside to look. Not sure which would be easier. I figure the outside since to replace the floor I'm going to have to slide the floor in from the outside to get it under the wall. Whats your thoughts on this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.3.8KViews0likes20Comments
