| Re: RV maintenance | BG | Anyone else have problems with Dometic refrigerator/freezers in the new Winnebago Via? Mine has to be defrosted every week to two weeks, has a fan that whines almost 24 hours a day (see Dometic complaints) and Dometic does not want to do anything about it. |
| Re: Airstream Bambi small travel trailer | Thomas Beach | Yeah... Airstream trailers are very nice. Yeah, they have a no maintenance outer skin. But I would like for someone to tell me why I should plunk down $30,000.00 for a 16 ft. trailer?!?!? I'm sorry. But these trailers are simply overpriced for their relative worth. |
| Re: Roadtrek 190-Popular class B motorhome | Jon | I own a 1994 Roadtrek 190 Popular and I am extreamly pleased with it. My grandfather left it to me when he passed away in 2008. Growing up with my grandparents I was around when they bought our Roadtrek new from the lot.
I do have some issues with the generator as my grandfather could not keep up with the monthly maintenance during his later years. I was in the military overseas and couldn't help maintain it.
The passenger door window goes up when it wants too. Going down, not a problem.
We have had the engine replaced twice, due to bad mechanics but it runs GREAT now.
Now my wife and I enjoy the Roadtrek on the weekends and been camping in it a couple of times.
I highly reccomend the Roadtrek Club especially for new R/T owners. They have awesome ralleys every year. Something that my grandparents and I used to take advantage of.
The left and right rear farrings were damaged when a tow truck driver didn't know what he was doing and cracked both of them. Due to my line of work I was able to fix it and you cant even tell except for the paint.
But once again, Roadtreks are really a way to go. However I am eventually going to get a trailer to tow behind for longer camp stays. But for weekends and what not GREAT RIG! |

| Re: Fulltiming | Jan | Just updating my last years ad! It is now April 17, 2010. Another year older, but the other info is still the same. I live in a senior apt. in Chico, CA, as home base. I would like to meet a man or woman that would like my company for your RV traveling around the western states. I've lived in No.CA for over 40 years and am from Washington State, so am somewhat familiar with the areas.
I've also worked as a work kamper for a while in Arizona, until I retired. I have a good personality and quick wit, non smoker, no alcohol or drugs, except the prescription kind. Am pretty healthy and can help out with some maintenance, cooking, cleaning, driving and fuel expenses. If the chemistry is right and we enjoy each other, I am open to full time traveling. Am alone with minimum physical baggage. Enclosed is a newer photo and email address is: jypsi2004@live.com
Email me and let's start the friendship! |
| Re: RV maintenance | Michael | Why is it that no one cam tell me about the Auto Park on my 1997 Aerbus by Rexhall.I Have put a lot of money into this motorhome.

| Re: RV maintenance | Debby | We have just brought home our avanti and the check engine light came on. Says low on coolant. WE popped the hood but cant get the cap off. Does anyone have an idea how to do this. We know to push down and turn but there isnt enough room to do this. Is there a trick |
| Re: Casita small trailer | Mimi Zepp | We are first time RV'ers and bought a 17' Liberty Deluxe. Love it!! Hubby did all research for a great small travel trailer that would suit our needs. Got a great deal on it and no middleman!
We tow it with a 2008 Toyota Sienna van. We didn't want to buy a truck to haul it but it's so lightweight and easy with the van. Gas mileage about 16 mpg towing the Casita. If you want low maintenance Fiberglass is the way to go. |

| A year long drive around the country | Bob | I am looking for a woman between the ages of 35-55 years old, and reasonably HWP. A few extra pounds is fine, no more than 180 lbs. I plan to take a year long drive around the country in a medium size RV, starting next fall. I plan to see as much of the USA as possible starting with a swing through the southern states in the fall/winter, maybe Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Then finish up with the rest of the northern states in the spring and summer. Space will be limited so please don't be a high maintenance and need to bring everything you own. Obviously there would have to be some kind of chemistry between us. A pension or other means of self supporting income to cover some of the expenses would be great. I will cover my share and then some, but would like some kind of contribution toward expenses. A retired military woman would be ideal. The trip would consist of driving to the next place of interest (yours or mine) spend a couple days there and then move on to the next. If we are really enjoying a place stay till we stop having fun. Some of the places on my list are Charleston SC, Savannah GA, St Augustine FL, Key West FL, Ocala FL, Pensacola FL, New Orleans LA (Mardis Gras), Austin TX, San Antonio TX, South Padre Island TX, Grand Canyon AZ, Denver CO, Las Vegas, NV, Pacific coast from San Diego to Canada border with stops for giant red woods, golden gate bridge, Napa Valley, Boise ID through Montana and Dakotas to Minn/St Paul MN, Chicago IL, Niagara falls, New England, Atlantic City, and back to Virginia. Looking for someone that wouldn’t care if this trip takes longer than a year. A passport would be nice for day trips into Mexico or Canada. Please enjoy biking and have own bike.
I'm 6'2" tall, 175 lbs, brown eyes, salt/pepper hair. I am easy going, laid back, and can carry my end of a conversation. I have traveled extensively overseas and want to see this great country of ours. I'm financially secure (retired Military) and don't need to work to support myself, but not rich by any means. I have started this search early to allow for determining if there is chemistry between us, and for the adequate time for both to prepare.

| Re: Camp-Inn teardrop trailer | Hilditch | For the price, I want quality and low maintenance. In the last 15 months with my loaded 550 Ultra I've had to wear too many hats. Electrician, Plumber, Roofer, Engineer, Mechanic, Front-End Man, Painter, Carpenter, & Detailer.
When one uses the cheapest Aluminum on the market with no protective coating and neglects to use glue on the body where it is needed, you can expect that pretty look to last until the first time it rains, followed by wet bedding. Beware, this ain't no Airstream. |
| Re: Leisure Travel Vans Freedom II class B motorhome | John R. | I have a 1995 Freedom, and truly enjoy traveling in it. The toilet is small, but functional, which is expected in a class B Van. It's compactness makes it easy to handle, and less expensive to operate. If I had a maintenance Manual that covered the entire Van, and it amenities, it would be perfect. If LTV could help me with that it would be great. |
| Re: Eggcamper small travel trailer | Viper | I'm waiting to sell my Eagle Bus Conversion and get one. I want something small that can be pulled by any of my vehicles.. in the end I just need bed, bath,frige,a/c, Microwave, Flat screen sat TV, 2 burners and a head/shower.. a place for my Lab if I stay in hotel, and for me and wife, dog when we are taveling... stop somewhere and tour around in the Hummer...
This looks simple, no maintenance, no stick furniture. And has what I need, no excesses... Need to expand size of gen to 3K and have a couple more hours of gas for Gen on board, A rear hitch for a 3 bike rack also (not for towing).
I like it... I like the convenience of a full scale coach.. just do much to maintain and towing a vehicle is a pain as you approach 65 feet long. Too big for many places... And it des not mater how big they are they all are only really for Two.
Regards

| Re: Roadtrek 190-Popular class B motorhome | Howard | I've owned a Roadtrek 190 for 3 years with no problems other than routine maintenance. It's really changed our lives we use it at weekends and never worry about hotels. |
| Re: Keystone Montana fifth wheel | Keith L | We love our 2006 Montana and have had virtually nothing in maintenance costs. Nothing major gone wrong and most other things I've dealt with. Great 5er. |
| Re: The first hybrid-electric Class A motorhome chassis | Bobby B | We have been motorhoming since the late 80's and I believe this will be a great change! Josh has a point to an extent but he has to understand that the majority of us go through cities to get where we are going. If the hybrid will give us even 1 or 2 miles per gallon more it will certainly help.
I too await the performance figures as well as maintenance challenges. |
