Re: How to carry extra gas
classic 31 wrote: If you get 8 to ten miles a gallon towing why risk blowing yourself up for a extra 20 miles and still have to stop and put gas in vechile anyways. If you run out I am sure Good Sam will be happy to come to your rescue Do you have links to ANY cases or articles of someone blowing themselves up by transporting 5 gallons of gas in (or on) their vehicle? I have had to wait over 4 hours for a tow truck to come, and that was in a populated metro Atlanta suburb. I can imagine how long a potential wait could be in a more remote area for GS to bring a couple of gallons of gas.423Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ram quality & company and dealer response

Comp deductible is common at $500 yes but glass coverage is usually $100. Mine used to be $50 10 years ago or so. Believe it or not, different insurance companies have different glass coverage policies. Mine will repair chips for free if repairable, otherwise it comes under the comp deductible, whether it's $250, $500 or even $1000. And while a lot (most) of windshields can be replaced with aftermarket ones for well under $500, there are many that will run over $1000- $1500. About a month ago, I had a rock hit mine and left a small chip. I parked and went into the store I was headed to. When I came out about 30 minutes later, that chip had spread 3/4 of the way across the windshield. After calling insurance agent to verify glass policy, I paid $200 out of pocket to replace it on my 04 Chevy Suburban.314Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do we have any recourse?
We have a 2007 Forest River/ Rockwood that we bought new. It also had a design issue with the roof when it was new. After taking it to the dealer a couple of times, I contacted Forest River & they were very helpful. We arranged a time & they sent someone to our dealer to take care of the problem where the dealer couldn't get it taken care of. I would suggest contacting Forest River for some assistance in getting this taken care of. Even though it is a documented issue on your camper, it gets much harder to address once it is out of warranty. I would push harder to get the factory rep involved ASAP.298Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do we have any recourse?

I was astonished that anyone would think glass doors, even tempered ones, are a good idea in a movable residential unit. If you are so astonished that anyone would think that glass doors are a good idea, why would you want to spend more time trying to fix what you recognize as a bad idea? Stick with the shower curtain & rod & continue camping.298Views0likes0Comments
