Re: Winterization
Thanks for the additional replies. I have my RV uncovered now based on advice given. No power outlets readily available, so I need to determine a solution for the house batteries. Even with the disconnect, I know they won’t last through the winter. Any thoughts regarding complete removal vs. running the generator to keep them charged?514Views0likes0CommentsWinterization
This is our first year storing a Class A for the winter. Previously, with towables (and inexpensive used ones, at that), I just protected the plumbing and not much else. Now, with a brand new Class A, I'd like to be more thorough. We're storing outdoors in the cold and snowy midwest, so I bought a cover. Looking for opinions from others on: 1. Relieving weight from tires 2. Periodically exercising the drivetrain 3. House battery disconnection vs. maintenance charging 4.

This was a big factor in our decision - my wife has never felt comfortable pulling a trailer of any kind. But she test drove the MH and handled it like a champ.675Views0likes0CommentsRe: Trading in a Fifth Wheel for a Class A
RickLIght wrote: Thank you to all! This is a great thread and fits the discussions we are having right now. We've had a small C and a tent trailer. We're now working part time leading to retiring and want to month-plus trips. Maybe go for the National Park set. We just rented a 30' gas A for a week to try it out. The rental was so noisy and rocking that we almost abandoned As in favor of 5vrs. I wish we could rent a 5ver. Please keep info coming! Thanks, Rick. We are close to a deal. Details to follow.675Views0likes0CommentsRe: National Park Camping

We've fit in many, many national forest campgrounds, state parks, Corp of Engineers, county and city parks. Get the RV that you'll be happy traveling/living in. There are plenty of parks you will fit. I will also add...… we didn't have reservations for any of the above except Denali's Teklanika. Exactly the kind of information I needed. Thanks!575Views0likes0CommentsRe: National Park Camping

Do not show up Friday as there will be a 25’ rig in a site big enough for 45’ BUT on Monday you can take your pick. I made the mistake of starting at 36’ because of posts on here...went to 40’ and 42 for 14 years and recently 45’. Buy more MH than you think you need...ONE TIME. We shoehorned a 35' 5ver into a 30' campsite in a trip to Acadia NP last week. Sounds like you've done the same with some regularity. Is it commonly permitted to do this sort of thing?577Views0likes0Comments
