Re: Make line on driveway for camper loading?
Thanks for the suggestions. We just had a 44x26 concrete floor poured in our pole barn and have been thinking on how to easily load and unload camper. Me, the wife, backs truck up while he, hubby, directs which can lead to some discussion! We have a slight incline which adds to it but if I can be 1/2" between the hips of the dually then I am good. Getting the thing squared has been my problem. Thanks Again....1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Via 25T Mercedes Diesel
Success!!! Update on my travels with the motorhome. As a first timer driving the coach it was so easy. I took my time going over the mountain and only dropped it down to 4 from D, rpms never over 3000. Heck, didn't even hold anyone up. Thanks for the advice as I will be doing it again at the end of the season.553Views0likes0CommentsRe: Via 25T Mercedes Diesel
Hmmm....the mountain does have some 10MPH switch backs. I will take it easy and go just one gear down and watch the rpms. Our dodge dually has only 1 and 2 and that was the reason I go to 2. I will probably be getting a good cussing going slow but that's okay because I won't hear them...lol. Thanks all!553Views0likes0CommentsRe: Via 25T Mercedes Diesel

Thanks, just got back in and once the shifter is in D and then tap to the left and it goes throught 4-1 and back to right and can get it back to D. So I guess I will put it in 2nd going down the mountain. Thanks again for the responses...safe travels!553Views0likes0CommentsRe: Via 25T Mercedes Diesel

I did notice a plus by the D but not sure what that means or how to get to that. Guess will need to pull out the manuals...ugh... Thanks...554Views0likes0CommentsVia 25T Mercedes Diesel
I am driving a friends motorhome to NC next week. I picked rv up today and brought it home and was looking at it and I don't see a 1st or 2nd gear to shift to when coming down a steep grade. I sure don't want the brakes to get hot going over the mountain. The mountain I speak of is going from Helen, GA to Hiawassee, GA. I have traveled it many times but not in an motorhome, usually in a dually so I shift down to 2nd coming down the mountain. She is too chicken to drive it up there so I volunteered..lol! Thanks in advance...3.8KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Travel through Atlanta
The last time we went through Atlanta on I75 headed toward Tennessee it was crazy. I timed it so we would be going through about 2AM, geeze those people don't ever go to sleep. I couldn't believe how much traffic there was for the wee hours of the morning. Haven't been that way since...lol!872Views0likes0Comments
