Tri Cities in August
We are meeting 2 of our grand daughters in early August, while their dad is working. When they aren't in the pool at our RV park, looking for things that a 9 and an 11 yr old would like to do. Aware of the Carousel, and the USS Triton Sail Park, do you think the Reach Museum would hold their interest?492Views0likes2Comments- 544Views0likes0Comments
Cape Disappointment, WA
Booked a spot there with one of my kids in the next spot. (She has her own truck and trailer) Going in April so I know the weather is iffy, Just wanting to ask about any things to do in the area. One of the days, we are going across the bridge to visit the wreck of the Peter Iredale.1.2KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Gas Class A
Good info all. I was Class B licensed before they came up with all the new rules, so should have no problem with a CDL, if that comes up. (Although I don't expect it to) The following info is much appreciated, and sort of the way we are going. I never want a Class C. Before purchasing our current Class A, we looked at used Class Cs and were incredibly disappointed. For example, for similar pricing we found a Class A with greater carrying capacity, more storage, better floorplan, and 50A electrical (2 ACs) -- and levelers (many Class Cs don't have them and they are expensive to add). I never want another DP (unless I come into a lot of money). Our 2001 Newmar was generally a joy to drive and ride in while our first RV (2004 Sea Breeze) was difficult to drive, loud, and uncomfortable. However, our DP was VERY expensive to repair. Since it was about 20 years old, expensive things (e.g., radiator) needed replacement. Yearly "tune ups" were also pricey. 3rd time's the charm. So far. Our 3rd RV is a 21-year-old, 31-foot, Ford V10, one owner gasser. One owner who didn't drive it much and appears to have kept it in storage when not driving. We lucked out. It's EASY to drive. The V10 has plenty of power. It's comfortable, not an air bag ride, but comfortable. Finally, despite the up front engine, it's not loud. Go figure. Conclusion: If you can, test drive because YRMV.924Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gas Class A
Good info all that have contributed so far. Comfort and floorplan are the top things we are looking at, then the chassis and manufacturer. Our trips for the next few years are not going to be any longer than a week or two, and we have time to let the RV price bubble ease off. I have always driven the RV choice, and this time the bride is taking precedence, we are taking our time.689Views0likes0CommentsGas Class A
We have camped in a Rambler Station Wagon, upgraded to a Dodge van, and Truck Campered or Travel Trailered all over the Pacific Northwest. My lovely bride is not happy with the seats in my 2007.5 6.7 Dodge diesel pickup Tow Vehicle. She actually said, out loud, maybe we should look at a Motor Home. Major shift for us, but I am thinking we should be pretty happy with a gas CLass A. We are tied to our home town until our mom passes, she is 91 and going strong, so no full time diesel pusher. Before we bought our current Toy Hauler TT, I was looking hard at the Winnebago MH. Just looking for opinions, thoughts, and ideas.8.9KViews0likes25Comments
