    Turf-type Patio Rug vs Traditional Patio Rug

    We are looking for something for Phoenix when we stay there. The problem seems to be small rocks vs. sand. Sand may be a problem but the rocks aggravate us more. WE are thinking the grass stuff from Home Depot. Any comments?

    slide & jacks hydraulic problem

    A known problem on our 2010 BH was the breaker needed to be 80 amp. Why they didn't install an 80amp when even Lipert said it needed an 80 amp is beyond me. Since putting in the 80 amp all has been well.

    Damaged Camper and Landing Gear-- Repaired--

    Re: Damaged Camper and Landing Gear How can the insurance company say that to you. These companies solicit our business and should support us. They are specialty companies for Rvers. We have had two claims through 2 companies: Foremost and Allied, both had our backs.

    Pull Test, Tug Test or No Test?

    We don't do any test. We hitch up, check that the jaws are closed and the handle locked, we then put a Master lock through the handle and pull away. We have followed this procedure for 15 years and never a problem.

    Best Way to Buy?

    When you look at the floor plan make sure you can get to the bathroom and refriig with the slides in. Also, there are deep discounters in the RV world, you should be able to get a 25% discount from MSRP easily. You may need to travel. Also, if you feel you will need to go back to the dealer for...

    Basement Access Door

    That solution sounds great but I don't think we can do the hinge in ours. We have the bedroom heat vent coming through the access door and can't drop it flat. Gives me some thinking to do.
