Moving on....had a great run
Last nite, our 17 year old motorhome sold. So many memories, kinda sad but relieved. Almost feels like we lost an old friend. Wife and I started "camping" in the early-mid 70s with a Honda 750 motorcycle, air mattress, sleeping bags and pup tent. Babies started coming, bought a used popup, found the 5 of us could camp for 5 days for less than one nite in a hotel. Made sense. Then we found we really liked it. Bought a used 1986(?) 22 foot SCOTTY, (only made them for, I think, 2 years,) had that for 4 years, then a new 1990 DUTCHMAN TT. Retired in '99, , in 2001 sold the house and bought a new DOLPHIN motorhome...traveled the Country for 2 years,then bought a small house and then snowbird time for 4 years in New Mexico and Arizona. Best part was we met folks and had experiences one simply cannot get at 400 mph at 35,000 feet. On this forum for quite a few years. Found it interesting. Good info, bad info but always entertaining. Keep it safe and enjoy ! jimmy1.9KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Bad Interstate battery
Once, years ago, one of my Interstates failed within a few months. Took it back to the dealer I bought if from, he said he had to test the battery to make sure it was defective. However, the equipment he had was "broken". Then, maybe ship it to Interstate to make sure. So.... I had no battery, no battery replacement even tho it was well under the warranty period. Sams' Club down the road, bought one of theirs, been going back there ever since. NEVER a "defective" anything. Heckuvalot cheaper too.370Views0likes0CommentsRe: Interstate 40 overnite stops
Lots of campgrounds on I-40, but many of them close for the winter (October?) Get a Good Sam campground Directory.Camping World, about 10 bucks. They list every cg and rate them. The rating, thru my experience is OK but some are questionable. Quite a few KOAs...you a member? They have their own Directory106Views0likes0Comments
