My Blowmax blew and destroyed the other Towmax behind it. Had a GoodSam tire insurance policy, did not buy Towmax replacements, but rather MAXXIS (5), but they paid for equal replacements for 2 tires. I was happy. My damage to the rig was limited to sheet metal and a fiberglass fender skirt...

I thought that's one of the reasons for J B Weld! I can't live without it. I made the mistake of putting the padlock on my hitch lever turned up so I could see the key hole...........dah, there is no clearance for my fiberglass cover...thus some good old J B Weld - bingo, good as new. Dan -...

Or when he tries to back that mess up! Good luck!

Both my brothers served, (Air Force, Army) grateful to all who have served this country. Thanks for the reminder Keith, and safe travels to all. We are preparing to head north for 4 months, as snowbirds. Our first leisurely long trip with our 5th wheel. Bought it in NY last Sept. headed south...

Safe travels to you. We're headed to Ohio next week, for the summer.

Just put 5 Maxxis on our rig. O miles, but that will change in about 2 weeks. Headed North.... Also matched up GY Wrangler SRA's on the back with 2 new ones on the front of TV. I hope I can afford to spend the summer on the road now.:( Michelin had been on truck for 10+ years. Will be relaxed...

Ray - HR, Hidden Creek Village, on the dogleg of the 5th hole on the South Course. Headed out to Ohio et al and the grandchildren before too long. Ohio, NY, MA and parts in between. I'm just assuming the snow has all melted!

Thought it would be a quiet day on the street in our gated community to find some shade to work on restoration of the decals etc. Washed & treated nose with 303 & some automotive super quick wax. Cleaned the roof & outside before the forecast rain came, 3 hours early! Will have to wait to apply...

ON the other hand..........if you're buying water and getting a gallon but are only being charged for .6 of a gallon.....that's not all that bad of a deal, when you think about it. I sort of figure when the bucket runs over, it's full, but that's just me.:rolleyes: Maybe a little too laid back...

The Blue Lagoon is a fun place & I was going to mention Galatti's but you found it! Vincent's has just opened here, have not tried their pizza (MY wife's is hard to beat) . We have lived in Sebring for 10 years as snowbirds (Highlands Ridge) & just got back into RVing with our 1st 5th wheel...

Went to visit our son in Snowmass a number of years ago in September, there was a question if we would make it back to Denver in our CAR. Really glad we were NOT towing! Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

We've at least marked the date on our calendar. After Navarre (our first), looking forward to the next rally. Will know enough now NOT to eat the week before Rally time..............:rolleyes: Most enjoyable time. Trip home was a little too eventful, but don't expect to worry any more about...

This may do it. ?????? Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

Loved several ideas, but went with the pinbox location-thanks to y'all. Will try to attach picture. Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

Great responses, thanks to all. DougS - how cool is that idea..........no pun intended, but a great idea! Do you leave your frig running while on the road? (on propane?)

Being lazy.....I miss my indoor/outdoor thermometer that we have at home. I purchased a similar unit for our 5th wheel, where do you folks place your outdoor sensor? I know they recommend on a Northern location - like that might ever happen. Ideas welcome.:D

Erika - how many folks does it take to measure how tall a 5th wheel is? I see 7, and a camera man to document the event..............nice project, but none the less, necessary!:confused: Our Greystone is 13'2" tall and I consider that valuable information to remember.

Love "unsafe at any speed " comment! It's highly possible our recent Tomax failure was due to a nasty pothole on I-10 that I could not avoid. It was the leading tire that took the hit. Put on set of Maxxis tires yesterday, hope that issue is laid to rest! Have the new fender skirt, gas line...

Labear - all manufacturers discontinue models for various reasons. "something new and improved" don't you know. Our Greystone was discontinue because it was a duplication of efforts (as I understand it). Greystone was a notch about the top of the Sundance, was produced on the same line etc. etc...

Tis the beauty of the internet. You can find out what is expected in the way of payment, even for a nice used unit. Good luck in your search, keep us posted. There are lots of opportunities to buy used units. RV Trader is also a good source to compare prices, both dealer and private sales!

Exciting times for sure. Hope your rig is all you hoped and planned for. Congrats and be safe in your travels!

dom1nation - I feel your pain. We had the same tires blow out on our way home from our first FL Rally at Santa Rosa Sound a couple of weeks ago. We had planned to put different tires on before we headed north at end of May, as snowbirds. Our damage was nothing compared to yours, and will be all...

Not being a SOB is a good thing! Glad we had a chance to break bread with you (all). Our 1st, but not our last rally! Travel safe! Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

MP_CS I see you have a WilkinsRV sticker on your rig as do we. You must be closer to them than we here in FL. Bought our 5er at their Churchville location. It was under expansion construction, adding 6 more service bays, double what they had. Nice addition to your entry. Sometimes I think we...

Thanks for that tip, I think. ...time will tell! Oh, AND the bubbles Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

Wow, sorry. IE will be a last ditch desperate move for me. Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

Buckeye -- we were coming home from our first HOC Florida Rally in Navarre a couple of weeks ago, and had the same thing happen. The unit is a 2011 and I too was going to change out the BlowMax before heading north in May......1st tire Curbside blew on I-10, east of Tallahassee. New fender from...

Saw Dr yesterday to schedule one for me - 5/26 be my date. Am 74 and last one was 10 years ago, picked up my "med" in preparation today, can hardly wait, but it is a necessary thing to do. Good luck Jimtoo, let's see how bad this stuff tastes this time around, sure it's not better.

No issues on home computer with GMail. It is Earth Day you know. Sorry, know it sucks when your machine acts up. Good luck getting it resolved.

I too had a BlowMax go on the way back from our Florida Rally, I-10 east of Tallahassee. Called Heartland with the vin # and it was shipped yesterday to me in FL. Yes, shipping was nearly as much as the part, but I needed the fender and it is an over-sized item for UPS. My tire folded the one...

Sounds like a good deal to me, with the rallies, have your cake and eat it too, for $20. Wish you well in retirement. You'll wonder how you got all your work done while you were working...........it's worse when you retire. Been doing that for 10 years, and am busier than 15 years ago. Safe...

Decided coming back to a dark rig could be solved. Lowe's had a dusk to dawn outside porch light on sale for $16. So I wired into the switched awning outlet high on the side. Included a 13 watt CFM bulb that gives off plenty of light. I had the foresight to seal the lens silicone so it would...

Dave - great point! Thanks, and yes is must be a coordinated effort!

Good advise all. We looked for 4 months before our purchase of a used 5th wheel. We decided after several weeks that it was going to be a 5th wheel, as we have a home in FL and will be staying summers in Ohio and Mass. near our 2 kids and grandkids. What did we need in the way of room for 4 1/2...

GREAT question. I'll watch for those with far more wisdom than I on this one. We attended our first rally (great time) and used our oven (Magic Chef) for the first time...............I mean this is a 2011 and do not believe the oven was ever used! It set off the smoke detector until the "paint"...

I've seen the big filters setting on a wooden box bracket near the water supply. I'll have to look into different set up. Thanks for your comments. Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

travilin2 - you asked a question on "Tapatalk" about where I picked up the power for my step lights. Since our Greystone had a single yellow side marker for a step light switched inside, I used the existing wiring/switch to feed 12V power to the LED's. Pretty straight forward (he says after the...

I feel your pain! I kinda lost confidence in the system I bought (don't ask me which one I have) after we came south last fall (1430 miles) parked the 5er in storage. ...got home and it was still giving me readings 1/4 mile from the rig? ??????? Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

Cool water filter! How did you fasten that below your docking station? We're going to be parked in Ohio for 3 months this summer, my bride might really love that hook up! Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

Lyle is on to something, with self stick? I just went on EBay and did a search for blue LED lights. Apparently these were intended for truck side markers. Not a good picture BUT you get the idea! Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk
