    To cover or not to cover. Thats the question.

    Here in Texas the extreme heat and possible hail can be an issue. We built added an awning to our "barndominium" so that the Elkridge is protected. We've had hail twice since we added it so it was at least protected from the hail. Happy Travels!!

    Considering becoming full timers!! Is it doable financially!!!

    Thanks Erika!! We have an opportunity to sell our farm which is prompting us to consider this now. We will still have a Texas address as our son lives next door to our place, and we will hook up and winter here with him. He has a big workshop that we will build an apartment in for winter...

    Considering becoming full timers!! Is it doable financially!!!

    Thanks!! I kinda thought that the camp fees would average about 30 per night. We are lucky in that we have very good health insurance at a low cost. Fuel expense is variable of course depending on travel...We do want to travel!!! I'm thinking we can figure this out and budget...

    Elkridge VS Elkridge Extreme Lite

    Baker, I'm a bit late reading your post but thought I would at least give you my two cents worth for what it's worth. We have a 2013 ElkRidge 34QSRL. We had a 2012 f250 SRW when we bought it and the truck pulled it just fine. An accident caused me to have buy a new truck earlier...

    Help!! New sewer smell... Yuck!!

    OK folks, here is a puzzle. We have developed a bad sewer smell, but only in the cabinet under the island Peninsula in our Elkridge QSRL. It's the cabinet to the right if you are standing at the sink for those of you familiar with out floor plan. There is a black pipe in the back corner...

    Apology

    Roger and Dena, I think most of understand the frustration you experienced. We too were very, very, unhappy with our Elkridge due to all kinds of issues we had. This was a year ago... It's all been resolved now. I was very vocal about it here. Thank goodness everyone forgave me too!!!

    Olga, I'm very sorry to hear about your issues! I know how frustrating it is to spend your money only to have issues immediately. We had major issues with our 2013 ElkRidge, so much to the point that we actually shopped around to trade it off!! But, we discovered that all brands have...

    Medical-New Ankle

    Tom and Sue, I would love to hear about this as well. I have a very bad ankle due to a car accident and replacement is my only option to eliminate the pain. I have been putting it off because I can't find anyone who has had it done to talk too!
