Re: Just wondering....
Do I consider not driving the motorhome any more - sure every trip we take I take note of everything I do and try to make changes and corrections. Now slower, more rest stops, shorter days drive and try very hard to have all equipment in good shape. We leave this week for about a 1000 mile trip to celebrate my wife's 83 birthday. We will driving a 1982 Kings Highway motorhome, I am 90. If you see us drop by for a cold drink. Yes I am very thankful for every trip311Views0likes0CommentsRe: Coach life
Yesterday we returned from a 500 mile trip in 100 degree weather in our 1982 Kings Highway. That was a high end unit with all the bells and whistles when new. It now has nearly 180 K miles, the original frig, one original AC, one was replaced that was a mistake. The unit is heavy fiberglass including the roof, 454 Chevy, P 30, Kohler generator. The radiator has been replaced as well as exhaust manifolds. We have never had a parts or fiberglass problem. We like the unit and never wanted another, it is not as shiny the last year or so as at 89 I just don't wax it like in the past, maybe we are just wearing out together. I think it has been maintained better than it's owner. We plan a 2500 mile trip in September and that may be our last longer trip, but the motorhome will be read to go. Do I believe a new motorhome will last as long? No way.358Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pearl Harbor Day
It was a grey cold day in Abilene, TX when I was 15, lost many friends in the next few years to that war. Not many of us old guys around now, I do RV at this time and never see any other old WW2 vets on the road. If you see an old Kings Highway motorhome with an old couple in it, come on over and we can have a drink for all those not able to travel.285Views0likes0CommentsRe: Replacing tires with wider tires.
If we go by the Michelin RV tire guide we find the 225/70R19.5 will lower the unit 0.7" and be 646 Revs per mile vs 619 on the 8R19.5. That's not much when you think about it. I have the 225's on the front and think it is some improvement in handling.321Views0likes0Comments
