Re: What is this horrible noise in our new Class C?
I had a terrible banging noise that seemed like it was coming from right above me when driving my 2010 Winnebago Aspect. After 2 years of head scratching trying to solve the issue, I finally struck gold . I believe the metal roof of the cab was flexing. My Mcgyver fix solved it immediately. I purchased a roll of Caulk Backer Rod at Home Depot for less than $5. I used a plastic ruler to shove it into the void between the cab and the bottom of the coach overhanging the Cab. I accessed this from outside the coach. Worked for me !600Views0likes0CommentsRe: How much does your dealer location matter in a purchase?
I really value having a good, well run, local dealership. This means that i'm willing to pay a premium to allow them to prosper and succeed. The question you are posing is how much is this worth. Only you can decide - but here is how I negotiated with my excellent local dealer. I showed him the pricing that I had received from a out of state dealer, and compared it to his "best price". I told him that I preferred to buy local, but the price difference was just too much for me to absorb. I suggested that we split the difference, and he agreed. I certainly felt good about how this turned out, and my local dealer gained a happy customer. In hindsight, I suspect that I could have played hardball, and twisted his arm to match the price, or at least come pretty close. My feeling is that a good deal is best described as a deal that was good for both parties. I'm confident that my dealer made a profit on my purchase, and good for him! I have the piece of mind that my local dealer is thriving, and available to me should I ever need service, or assistance.181Views0likes0CommentsHistoric Route 66 w/Motorhome?
We are planning to spend a few days at the Albequerque Balloon fest in October. Traveling from Wisconsin. We would like to travel via the historic Route 66, and are wondering if this is feasible in a 30' Motorhome? Has anybody done this recently? Suggestions appreciated!1.7KViews0likes8Comments30 Amp Question
I have a question that will probably seem idiotic, but here goes. I am booked at a campsite that offers 50 amp service. My motorhome has a 30 amp plug-in. Can I use a 50 amp to 30 amp pigtail type device without worry? I see them for sale for approx $20 , but want to make sure that I am Ok doing this. Many Thanks.3.9KViews0likes18Comments
