Re: Short bed Vs Long Bed Truck pulling performance
I have had both and currently have a Ford F350 crew cab long box. I prefer the long box for the ride and in many cases a long box has a larger fuel tank which I also like. With that being said, my short box trucks all did great to!305Views0likes0CommentsRe: winter challenges...AGAIN
RV Fridges don't have a compressor, they work off an ammonia mixture that circulates in the cooling unit by heat. They actually remove warm air from the inside of the fridge versus sending cold air into the fridge. In very cold temps like yours the cooling unit can gel up and not circulate, therefore it is not removing the warmer air from the fridge any longer. With some RV fridges, once this happens the fridge may have to go through a reset procedure. Some will just start working when the outside temp warms up and the cooling unit is not gelled up anymore. Putting a light bulb on the cooling unit can help keep it from gelling up as can blocking the vents, although I am not a fan of blocking vents because if you it gets warm out and you forget to remove the blocking it can burn the cooling unit up. Another option is to use heat tape on the cooling unit that is thermostatically controlled to come on at about 34 degrees. You can get that at almost any hardware store in our area but I don't know about in the Southern states. Good luck!512Views0likes0CommentsRe: do all dealers lie
A incompetent or dishonest salesperson does not necessarily make the "dealership" dishonest. In my opinion, sales is a very honorable profession and I have made a good living for my family doing it with many return customers. However, I have made some mistakes over the 27 years of doing it as I'm sure all of you have at your jobs to. There's a lot to learn selling RV's and it doesn't happen overnight as the RV company's and truck company's change things all the time. Dishonesty is unacceptable and should be reported the dealership owner or manager first. An honest mistake is going to happen. By the way, I have had many dishonest customers over the years as well, but that doesn't make all of them that way.292Views0likes0CommentsRe: Brand New Member

I know that I can go to just about any new car lot, buy a vehicle, drive it off the lot, and the odds are that I won't need to take it back for any warranty repairs. Sadly, that's not how it works when purchasing an RV. You are pretty much guaranteed that you will find multiple things that need to be fixed. I keep hoping that Honda will decide to build RVs . . . . . Wow, you are way luckier than me. EVERY new vehicle I have ever bought has had multiple recalls and warranty issues. My 2004 MGC Duramax was towed in to the shop 9 times in 3 years. My 2013 Altima was in the shop for warranty or recall 6 times is 2 years and 25k miles. My 2015 F350 has been in for warranty 3 times and still has issues with 12k miles on it. My take is that ANY product can and will have issues, otherwise you wouldn't need warranty386Views0likes0Comments
