Re: Diesel push HP recommendation
There are a lot coaches available with engines rate from 500 to 600 hp but the hp/wt ratio still dictates performance. I remember my beaver PT with 425 hp was a virtual rocketship compared to many but it only weighed in at 31,000 lbs. Turns out the C-12 could be dialed up to 455 with a simple visit to the Cat dealer. You should be able to find something is OK for you needs.586Views0likes0CommentsNational General RV Insurance
I'm thinking about changing my insurance from Interstate to National General for cost reasons but would hate to end up with a company that is difficult to work with on claims. National Interstate had been great to work with on the two claims I've had and don't want to potentially have issues just to save $300.00. I would appreciate any comments from those that have had claims with General. Thanks for any input. Dick4.1KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Tom Tom Go vs Co-Pilot on 10"Tablet
Still playing with my TomTom Go and, for me, much superior to the CoPilot but not nearly as good as my standalone Gramin Nuvi for ease of operation. They all seem to get me from A to B about the same, just that the Garmin is so much easier to use while driving. The large 10" screen has some advantages no question but still, just wondering it it's worth it. For example: I'm tooting along thinking it would be nice to find a rest stop....read over press the "where to" button, select near my current route, auto services, than rest stop. Bingo, all the rest stop along my current route pop up. Can't do that on either CoPilot or Tom Tom. Or, if I can, it certaily isn't obvious. Now that someone has mentioned another option I may give it at try also.524Views0likes0CommentsRe: Picture of MSRP 06 Monaco Exec
Sometimes the original MSRP is quite a shock. I had the build sheet run for my 2002 Beaver Marquis Emerald and it was $751,082. Regarding the Aladdin system, there have been a lot of interesting problems with it and many conversions to the Silverleaf. IMHO, the Silverleaf is a superior system and is well supported. I also believe they make a drop in replacement for the Aladdin for this very reason. I really like ours and it's original equipment. FYI, good looking coach you got.144Views0likes0Comments
