Re: Can't change tire on dually
When I started full-timing 7 years ago I had roadside insurance with Good Sam, Progressive RV and USAA which covers my RV for roadside. We had a dually-flat both tires out on I-40 about a hour East of Barstow as a January evening arrived. Well we called GS first and told them about our two flats so we needed another tire as well, however no one showed for many hours. We called and they said they we're looking for someone for us in some small town clear out toward Las Vegas! We then called USAA who said they were sending someone now from Barstow, while on the phone with USAA, GS called and said the person is on his way. So we cancelled the USAA call since they hadn't left yet. After midnight the tow truck arrived without a spare! So in the end we put our single spare on and limped to Barstow. Needless to say I no longer use Good Sam they got one year of service from me and that's it. Now I depend on Progressive and USAA and they have never let me down.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do park hosts have to leave?

I am hoping this means they hope this is a short time event and they will still need the volunteers when the parks open again. This is true with BLM as well. It is up to the Park's management on if Hosts my stay or not, but ALL Hosts in Federal Parks are not allowed to work.131Views0likes0CommentsRe: Full time rated?
You are going to get a lot of responses with a wide range of prices and quality. I have lived in a Teton, Bounder (Class A) and Open Range and each has it's advantage and disadvantages at the same time I've known other full-timers with expensive RVs that seem to have the same problems I have. True construction is everything but all trailers are designed for over the road use. If you are planning alot of off-roading or rough roads then consider a "heavy" fiver otherwise go out and get what fits you the best i.e. storage, kitchen, bath etc. at the price you can afford and enjoy full-timing!335Views0likes0CommentsRe: Never drive interstate

Oh sure sure! :B WoodGlue OK but the speed limit on Texas highways are 70 mph, yes I said 70mph on highways not freeways which is 75-85mph! So my question is, how many of you RVers are cruising at 75mph plus? On a personal note... I do prefer off the beatin' path however it has gotten me in deep a couple times. That's actually one of the reasons I bought a fiver recently because I can back out of a situation. With my Class A I would get into these situations and my DW got tired of unhooking the toad and driving out while I followed :o261Views0likes0CommentsRe: Carlsbad Caverns vs Kartchner Caverns
