Re: Entry Step
My battery disconnect and coach shut off switch is by the door so I stand on the ground outside the door and take a small magnet and hold it next to the switch on the door jamb (this "tricks" the steps into thinking the door is closed) and the steps retract. As soon as the steps are retracted I pull the disconnect and turn off the coach power switch. The steps will stay in then. The thing to remember is that when you turn the power on the step will extend so watch your shins! Bob246Views0likes0CommentsRe: New England in July or August?
We are planning this trip for our 50th anniversary so the timing is flexible and am planning 5 or 6 weeks to leave NW Arkansas to Niagra Falls to Boston to DC to Nashville and back home. Could take longer if we can work out Dr. appointments! You know how that goes at our age!233Views0likes0CommentsRe: pikes Peak, campgrounds
We LOVED Pikes Peak RV Park in Manitou Springs. This is where you get on the cog railroad that goes up Pikes Peak if you don't want to drive. City park right next door. Check out the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center in Divide CO for a unique experience. Garden of the Gods park is very close also. Downtown Manitou Springs is kind of like a cleaner version of Estes Park CO.374Views0likes0CommentsRe: I dont even know how to plan a cross country trip LOL
This past September we planned a 4 week trip to the Colorado area. I spent countless hours planning. I had satellite views of every interchange,gas stop, rest area and campground for the entire trip. This was for backup as I had committed most of them to memory. First destination was Estes Park. Middle of the third day my wife sees a sign that says Pikes Peak area and says "My Mom went to Pikes Peak during the war and it sounded neat." (I had the greatest mother-in-law that ever lived.} At the next rest stop I looked and we were only 120 miles away and I thought about one of the best things about owning a mh is you have everything you need with you. So I hung a left and we went to Pikes Peak and it was the best part of the trip. I say all this to make the point not to over schedule and leave some time to do something that you didn't plan. If you haven't been there in this long it will still be there next year. Now if somebody wants a very detailed trip plan from Arkansas to Colorado I have an unused one available!292Views0likes0CommentsRe: New owner with big problem
If you read the original post he states he gave them two opportunities to double check the price. I would think any time someone makes asks that question it would raise a red flag for the dealer. The dealer screwed up and they are the ones to make the deal right and own up to their own incompetence.120Views0likes0Comments
