Re: I want this twin bed floorplan
This model by THOR comes pretty close. Also available in the Siesta Sprinter. Citation Sprinter 24SV You may also want to look at the 24ST, the model I have. Twin beds in the back, bath midship and twin reclining theater seats instead of the sofa.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Motorhome Windshield Replacement Business
Last year, I had a chip in the windshield repaired by Safelite while visiting in SC. Young tech did not do a very good job, seemed inexperienced. Chip still very obvious, reply was "main concern is preventing further damage not appearance". Insurance (Flo) offered to replace windshield but I elected not to. Still an option in the future or if chip spreads.597Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel ?
It should be driven, extended operation at idle is not recommended. Much better to occasionally get on the road for 20 miles or more to warm everything up and clear carbon and circulate the fuel. Prior RV was 36' Dp with Cummins ISB. Annual maintenance was about $200 DIY oil and filters change, lube chassis. Every 2-3 years, Engine Air filter, and Air Brake filter added about $100 each.. Having service done by a shop reported to be about $1100+... 22.5 inch tires are in the $500-600 range each. But: The Rear engine diesel is quieter, more stable and comfortable to drive. My ISB consistently got 11+ mpg.280Views0likes0CommentsRe: Have you Planned Ahead??

Important papers (titles of house and vehicles, passports, etc) in a fire resistant safe (grab box) (Walmart $22), plus any cash around the house, and guns with ammo - if you have them. What else would you grab in a 10 minute 'leave now' situation?? ------------------ Good post-The Time to think about what you need in a Bug Out Bag is before the situation comes up. Urgent items and a second list of nice to have, "we would really miss these" items. Some items or copies go on every trip. (Your important papers above, Insurance, medical records, inventory of house, etc.) Easy to do with CD/DVD or thumb drive.537Views0likes0CommentsRe: Walmart etiquette?
After all the shoulda woulda and I never- It comes down to Walmart policy. Permission to park is extended by individual store managers, based on availability of parking space and local laws. Please contact management in each store to ensure accommodations before parking your RV. Ask the manager...433Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generator Regulator LPG Fleetwood Discover 6500 onan
If you need the main propane regulator (on the tank) it's available. Camco 2 stage horizontal regulator Looks like $22 for the regulator. Replaced mine without any hassle. It's about a ten minute job so even a shop charge should not be that much. Prior MH had the Onan 6500 LP genny. Only concern is the vent should face down, look at how yours is mounted. enblethen has info on the generator mounted regulator above..248Views0likes0CommentsRe: NHTSA& EPA want to limit speedof vehicles over 26,000 lbs
Accident rates are up due to distractions. Look at the cars as they pass, on the phone, texting, even reading newspapers, weaving from lane to lane if they do occasionally look up. Speed is the straw man- Of course the national policy of "Only obey/enforce the laws you agree with" is part of the problem..95Views0likes0Comments
