Re: Route from MA to Myrtle Beach,SC with the least traffic
RVs are prohibited from Merritt Parkway it is true but this trip is by car. The Merritt has arched overpasses and not tall enough for wider taller rigs, some are 9Ft + and some are 12ft + but never would make it with MH for sure. I have a motorhome and would not take it on Merritt or high up on Garden State Pkwy1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How to stay warm in cold weather.
well made rigs actually have triple pane glass all around, remember your vents loose a lot of heat so put vent pillows in the vent, if on electric a ceramic heater helps a lot. There are ways of making heat with ceramic pots but would not entertain that thought due to fire hazards. Put bubble wrap on windows or better is the foil bubble wrap. Make sure all seals are good to keep heat in and cold out. Some rigs have insulated basements and covered bottoms so air infiltration is low.727Views0likes0CommentsRe: Route from MA to Myrtle Beach,SC with the least traffic
THANKS to you all. WE are now here a few days and are driving back soon. We took 78 to 81 to 66 to 95 basically, now will come back and get to 95 via some local routes and then 95 to 64 to 81 to 78 to 287 to Cuomo Bridge to Merrit Parkway to 91 to 84 to 90 and then home. Will see if it saves time.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRoute from MA to Myrtle Beach,SC with the least traffic
So wanting least traffic want to avoid I95 until below DC. Thinking of going out on 84 to 81 at Scranton PA and down 81 to 64 or if there are other routes that bring you from 81South to 95 South to Lumberton NC 74East and we do have a route from there to MYRTLE BEACH SC but is there another route better from 81 to 95 than 64 East? OR Going over the Cumomo Br/Tappen Zee Br and is there a route to get me to 78 ( I will be on 287 going over the Bridge)and 78 West to 81, is there an exit off 87 to 78 directly? Seems going out of my way but seems it will be less traveled and faster? Going tomorrow.3.1KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Going from West of Boston to Andrews Air Force Base
ferndaleflyer tha last route you suggested did not avoid GW bridge in NY which is HORRIBLE given it takes me down 95 without avoiding the George Washington Bridge. Should be able to Go 95 and then jump up and around the GW bridge but not sure. My best atlas is not with me, it is in my RV so have a really old map and having trouble finding a way around but maybe not so maybe have to go 84 to 81 but seems to really going out of my way to get to Andrews. IF someone has a work around before 8 this morning, PLEASE let me know, otherwise wish me luck!! Thanks all for your suggestions, knew my RV friends would come through. Taking the car not the RV but still horrible at the GW bridge.295Views0likes0CommentsGoing from West of Boston to Andrews Air Force Base
Best Route that will NOT take me over the GW bridge and hopefully not through Baltimore on 95. Every route I look at takes me over GW bridge. Can I not take TappenZee Br and then down to 95. I live near 95 can get on at Walpole or can go up 95N to 90E to 84South and then CT 15 Charter Oak etc so what do you all think. WE need to leave by 8 tomorrow morning and would like to get there without huge traffic jams and before dark but that may be too much to ask? Leaving tomorrow, September 30 2022 WE are traveling by CAR not RV this time, leaving RV at home.1.6KViews0likes5CommentsIBEX TRAILERS BY FORREST RIVER
FRIENDS ARE LOOKING AT AN IBEX AND I DO BELIEVE IT IS THE 23 RLDS. Anyone have one and how do you like it, what defects did it come with if any and how well did the dealer fix the defect. How is the construction and how well do you think it will stand up to travel. What are your thoughts about the construction materials and the build quality? I know there are some build problems and quality problems with the 19 QBS, little doors falling off and wall underslide out falling off etc. BUT how about this larger unit? How about is Forrest River standing behind this IBEX or is the same old story as most? Thanks.752Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roadside Assistance
COACH-NET was 269 dollars for first year and then drops to $169 afterward. Family Motorcoach now called Family RV I think was $159 for the same thing so went with that, I do have Progressive roadside coverage but did not trust it will cover what these others cover and it only costs about $18. I will report if I have to use it and how they did. THANKS so much, looks like you all like CoachNet and I used to when I used them but they have really gone up in price. Last year I went without anything except the Progressive without realizing it. I thought I had committed to CoachNet but had not, YIKES. THANKS again for all your opinions, appreciate it.607Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roadside Assistance
THANKS I am surprised no one yet has mentioned the roadside assistance from Family Motorcoach that now is Family RVing. I have used Coach-Net before and found them good but they all have gone up in price. USED Good Sam and was not satisfied with them as I mentioned. GOT to call tomorrow.607Views0likes0Comments
