Re: Considering first DP - any advice?
There are to many variables and every person has different wants and needs but here is one thing that is for certain and not just an opinion. Some of the Alabama built DP's Ive looked at that other people owned had nearly zero engine access as in having a rear radiator and only a space maybe 2ft by 2ft under a panel in the closet for you to have access to the engine. Buy a side radiator coach because it can be hard enough at best to get to the engine to do the most minor of side of the road repairs ie filters belts and so on. Do yourself a favor and take heed to this. Good luck. Dub McBride528Views0likes0CommentsRe: 22.5 vs 19.5 tires
I'm with you.... The only way I would move from 22.5 would be if I could trade up to 24.5 and no typical Diesel Pusher will have that..I have 3.5 million miles on me, "that's why I look like 40 miles of bad road" and I want some meat between me and the asphalt.865Views0likes0CommentsRe: 22.5 vs 19.5 tires

I'm very happy with mny 22.5's And as for the spare... I helped a friend change one once. I'm a big and fairly strong dude (6;2 cand lift 250 pounds) and loading that flat into his pickup.. That was right at my limit. I'd not want one pound heavier. In fact that was like 7-9 years ago and I'm not sure I'd want to attempt it today. So a Spare would not do me any good. Just be one more tire to replace.865Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
She was used offthewall..I'm not one to shell out big money on any motorized vehicle... Coach is 20 years old... Many folks wouldn't have a motor home that old but this one has proved to be the best choice for me.. Served me well the past 5 years...374Views0likes0CommentsRe: disadvantage of having MoHo parked in driveway.
Come inside on me and then it becomes a shooting offence... I pray no one ever brings it to that.. I would hate it when it's over but inside my home raises things to another level... There are no Mayberry's left and it's a shame.273Views0likes0Comments
