New 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid
Has anyone purchased the new Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid? The tow guides say it is towable 4 wheels down with the HF45 transmission. Called a dealer and they did not have the answer and did not know about the transmission requirement. Would like some first hand knowledge from someone that actually has one and is towing, not just a sales person trying to close a deal.2.7KViews0likes5Comments2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
Looking for a new toad(old one is 10 years old) and saw that the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid was listed in the FMCA magazine as being able to be flat towed. Has anyone purchased one yet for this purpose? Any info regarding this vehicle would be appreciated.7.3KViews0likes9CommentsPark Reviews
I wrote a review for Lake Rutledge RV Park in Fletcher North Carolina. The moderator or whoever, put the review under another parks name, even though the parks name is in the review. The review was negative. The Good Sam Website rates this park a 9 1/2 overall. Not very accurate. The Good Sam reviews have been consistently higher then my experiences in these parks.A lot higher. I smell a ringer. How do I get the review corrected so it appears under the correct parks name?1.3KViews0likes10CommentsCable Grips
I have never written a testimonial for a product before. I am so pleased with the Cable Grips product and the response I got from Jim Wright, that I felt the need to do so. I had ordered the grips for my RV and the cable as one item. When I received the cable, the grips kept falling off. I contacted Jim and he replied the same day. He thought that it was a possible “issue with the mold”. He immediately sent me a new cable (NC) and assured me that that the problem was an exception not the norm. It is refreshing to find a company that responds to the consumer as Jim did. It is nice to know that some companies actually stand behind their products.The Cable Grips makes it so much easier to hook up cable tv. Great product, great company!1.1KViews0likes2CommentsMaximum Tire Pressure
Hello all, I have 235/80 R22.5G XRV Michelin Tires. The side wall states it has a maximum tire pressure of 110 psi when inflated cold. I inflate to 105 psi for the front and 100psi for the rear tires. When traveling down the road, my tire pressure monitor (TST) showed 114 PSI for the front tires. Is this unsafe or normal heat expansion calculated by Michelin? Please don't respond about weighing the RV and getting actual PSI's as recommended by Michelin on their chart. Just want to know if the reading above 110 PSI after the tire is warmed up is safe or not. Thanks for your replies.1.9KViews0likes8CommentsNatchez Trace
Planning on going down the Natchez Trace Parkway this summer on the way home from Michigan. Had heard that the roads were in poor condition. Has anyone had a recent trip(within the last year) down this road? Can any of you recommend RV parks nearby with full hookups heading south from Nashville TN ending in Natchez Ms ?Also, what's the average speed one could expect to do on the parkway in a class A motorhome?4.9KViews0likes11CommentsExtended Warranties (Again)
Hi All, Am purchasing a new RV and am torn between 2 companies. Good Sam has a 4 year plan ($250 deductible) and Wholesale Warranties, which now owns their own company (Viking), has a 5 year plan (200 deductible) . Wondering if any of you had positive or negative experiences with either plan. Cost per year is slightly cheaper with Wholesale but not a factor if there is a lot of negative experiences out there. Please no not respond by telling me that warranties are a waste of money.That would be a waste of the forums time. I realize that many of you feel this way and accept that but, I have already decided to get one. Also, some might have had Wholesale Warranties in the past and were assigned to a 3rd party agency. That is no longer the case. I would just like comments on there own "Viking Plan" or Good Sam. If you have a plan different from the two mentioned and have had great success, I would be open to hearing about it.3.3KViews0likes11Comments
