Re: We launched this past Friday!
I must be looking into a mirror. What you've done is what we are doing very shortly. The Disney trip is on for October (Food and Wine Festival)and before that four(4) other short trips to work out the kinks). From then on it will be on the road for somewhere between 2- 5 years (or longer) depending how long it takes before I go crazy being in the same small space with the wife a 100lb dog and a 17lb cat (no, I'm not telling you how much the wife weighs).408Views0likes0CommentsRe: Full timing rig; the search continues
We wrestled with the same issues. Gas vs Diesel. We opted for gas because of the long-term expenses. $80 for an oil change in a gas powered beats $250 for a diesel oil change any day plus you don't have to find that "special" garage to have it done. Heck, even in the valley, Joe the mechanic can change oil(makes me think that even I can do this). There is a BH model in both diesel and gas models. With or without washer/dryer is a personal option. We opted not to have one as we wanted the storage space. The last issue is if you want used or new. There is good and bad in both. Used have all of the bugs worked out but unless you know the history, you could be buying a "pig in the pole". However, we bought new and are still returning the MH to the dealer to fix the "bugs". Best advice is read, look, listen, look, look and then look again.403Views0likes0CommentsRe: Blow front tire, what do you do?
Just took a class on this very subject. DO NOT USE BRAKES. Maintain speed using accelerator until you have your MH under control, then slowly move off the road. By hitting the brakes you cause force to pull MH towards direction of blown tire. This could cause the "worse case scenario" of you flipping the MH.388Views0likes0Comments
