Floorplan advice
We are looking at Class C, maybe an A, with a floorplan that is setup more for traveling comfort and less like a condo on wheels. We won't be boondocking much for now, but a generator is a must. Something with a small kitchen, maybe smaller bedroom, but nice bath and seating for travelling. We have a conversion van now, but want something a bit bigger. If a used tour bus was within the budget, I think that would be perfect, but too big. Any ideas who makes a rig like that? Thanks!1.9KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Cab-over storage - cabinets vs bunk
We are a couple with a 10 year old daughter; we like the bunk setup so my daughter can have a little "privacy" from Mom and Dad at night. Having her own TV/DVD player would make her trip as well. After having several boats before this, we hate having to convert something into a bed when we are tired.464Views0likes0CommentsRe: 7 Pin Problem

I looked at mine and did not see how it comes apart. Did you get the module at a Ford dealership or somewhere else? Thanks!441Views0likes0Commentsreplacing VHS with Blu-Ray
I have an LA West conversion van that has a VHS player that no longer works and an old school TV. Both seem to work on 12 volts instead of 110 household current. I want to replace them both with a basic blu-ray player and a flat screen TV on a swivel mount. Do I need a special TV and blu-ray for 12 volt auto power or can I get an inverter and install 110 volt home TV and player?1.3KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Key west Fla.
Take the bridge on Key West towards the shrimp boat docks. Eat shrimp steamed in Heineken and conch chowder at the Half-shell Raw Bar. Say hello to my brother and sister Coast Guardsmen right next door. Head towards Mallory Square and visit Fat Tuesday's for whatever frozen drink you can imagine, then rent a jet boat (NOT a jet ski) at one of the resorts (I can't remember the name) next to the Square. 2 hours is plenty. Make it back to watch the real show that is sunset at Mallory Square. After that, visit Sloppy Joe's if you love crowds ( I prefer Fat Tuesdays so I can walk around) or another bar if you want to sit. Everyone is easy to talk to; just ask a question and enjoy! Like to fish? Stop in Islamorada and do a charter, inshore of offshore. Shark fishing is great, best place for hammerheads I ever saw.370Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class C tour bus???
Thanks for the replies. We don't intend to use a cabover bunk while driving; we felt our daughter would prefer having a "place of her own" with a bit more privacy than converting a dinette. Not looking for the décor of a rock band tour bus, just the layout. After more discussion with DW, we are going to check out and drive as many smaller class A and C as we can. If there is a significant difference in driving and ride between the two, that would affect our decision.147Views0likes0CommentsClass C tour bus???
We are boat owners and wannabe RV'ers - we have a custom van conversion and love it since we make several long trips each year. The Van is an LA West conversion and very comfortable, but has no "hotel accommodations". The wife is not a camping fan (yet) but we wanted something that is less for the campground and more like a celebrity tour bus layout for nonstop travelling. The Class B layouts fit too much by having everything fold out, not good for use on the road. Class A's are likely the best choice. We travel with our 9 year old daughter, and really want her to have a place of her own, so we like the Class C with cabover bunk. Still, the layout seem too much like an apartment on wheels. I guess we will have to wait till Aerosmith gets a new tour bus and buy the old one. But is there something a bit smaller?1.6KViews0likes4Comments
