    Virginia Diesel fuel tax refund

    Here in Az you just take your pump receipt into the cashier and they give it to you on the spot. I don't bother unless i buy a lot. Although, on the pumps that sell the class 2 diesel with a tax of 21c it can add up.

    High elevation towing

    Those of us that live in the high desert think long grades and steep hills are normal. Most really steep places have truck lanes. Don't get caught up in the I'm gonna be the fastest game. Don't be afraid to pull in behind the trucks going 40 MPH and follow them up and down the hills...

    Sidearm choice- for the wife.

    My wife just went thru this. She was carrying a Ruger LCP380. But it hurt her hand to shoot it and she found most semi's to be too hard for her to work the slide without a lot of effort. She tried several revolvers and found the trigger pull on most was too heavy for her. She can shoot them...

    Cyclone 3800 2nd AC Install - Need Help ASAP

    I do not own a Cyclone but a Big country. But just for ideas. I had a second AC installed in the bedroom. I did not have the ducts blocked because I wanted to be able to use either AC to cool the whole RV if I needed to. And mainly so I could run the front unit while sleeping and the rear...

    Don't Buy The Cheap Sewer Hose

    Myself and several others here in the park were having problems with what appeared to be pin holes in the hose. We all went thru several hoses and even the best ones we could buy kept getting holes. We finally found the problem. It was birds pecking holes in the things for some reason. The...

    Safety chains

    Ks is one of the few states that has no safety chain law same here in Az. Therfore the salesman was correct. So the issue of chains is what you desire or feel necessary. http://www.expediter.com/natm%20pdf%20folder/B%20folder/B3%206-State%20Safety%20Chain%20Laws-Table.pdf The purpose of...

    winter camping?

    I do not own a MPG. But I have done lots of winter skiing at Crystal Mountain and Mt Hood with a motorhome. You will need a generator. No amount of batteries will run the heater for that amount of time. I always used my micro wave and hot water when parked for skiing. So a generator was a...

    Air Condtioner cooling problem

    Re: Air Cindtioner cooling problem Well we are in Tucson. Outside temps run 100plus. On those days there is no way both AC's can keep the inside temp below the high 80's. Prblem caused by no shade and rect sun makes the outside skin of the RV so hot you can barley touch it.

    5th Wheel w/ Goosebox

    I do not have a picture the trailer is in Tucson and I am home. I have a goose neck adaptor it did not come from the dealer with chains but I added them. I had rather add $30 worth of chains that argue with some DOT idiot. My thoughts are that that trailer ain't gonna come off of that hitch...

    Pickup Truck Rear Window Decals

    Akkk. They sell vans with no rear windows . If you got a trailer behind you can't see out it. That's why they make side view mirrors. My experience with this kind of nonsense. Me and the Great Safety Violation Jim B One of the things about being a sector pilot was that youfor the most...

    Looking at Diesel Pusher. Tell Me Why Not

    You will like the DP much better than the 5th wheel once you get used to it. Much easier to park. Setup tear down goes much faster for me. Storage compartments and aux equipment are much better organized and easier to get to Specially things like water pumps, inverters, generators...

    Sounds to me like the tv has come off of the mounting bracket. The mount does not move or adjust it is bolted to the wall. You need to remove the wood trim at the top of the tv. Be careful cause if it is off the bracket it will fall forward. You can then lift the tv back up and place it on...

    Cargo Door Supports

    I went from a Holiday Rambler Endevor to a Big Country. We did the trade because we don't plan to travel anymore and the BC kinda acts as mobile condo we can move if we really decide to. One thing I can guarantee is that you are not going to find a 5thweel that is as well made as your...

    hitch code

    Well that just causes me to say Huh, because at least 85% of the parts on a 250 and 350 or the same. I am sure he asking about a 5th wheel hitch but is about as clear as mud. And I really find it hard to believe that a dealer can't get an order code unless his sales manager is worthless.

    Residential Fridge Option.

    One thing that you are going to find is that none of the 5th wheels even the high end ones are not engineered and designed as well as the motor home. I went from a 40 diesel to the 5th wheel. Things like and inverters/converters and plumbing is seems to be just done haphazardly in the...
