I did not expect him to go so quickly based on what Dad told me just Sunday. So, we'll be going home next week for the memorial service. Those of you who pray, please, do so for my step-mother; she won't be able to live alone so she has a lot of decisions and work in front of her since she's lived in that house for somewhere around 60 years. Linda Linda - So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are definitely with you and your family. We're also wishing you safe travels. I understand the step-mother as we went through that with Terry's mom after his dad passed.

sandsys Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Thanks everyone. We'll be heading down a week from today. Sure wish we had one of our RVs to make the trip in. Motels are no longer fun places to stay and my brother and his daughter have already claimed the guest rooms in the house. Which is the right thing but still mean a motel instead of an RV.

palamine Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi friends, I may literally be putting the horse before the cart but as we are starting to look at motorhomes, we would like to know where to find a list of the best vehicles to tow four wheels down. Not too small but definitely not a pick up. Suggestions please.

The range is huge from Hondas to Jeeps to numerous other vehicles. It depends a little what you like.and what the motorhome will pull. Start looking and do research before you buy. FMCA puts out a list based on year of vehicle.

Make sure what ever you decide is towable. We just bought a 2007 Ford F-250 King Ranch crewcab diesel pickup yesterday. It has just less then 68k miles on it. We kept the old Jeep. LOL.

steved44 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Jeff, it must take quite a bit to tow a jeep. I see you bought a truck so you can tow the Jeep while it's not hooked to the motorhome!

weaverworks Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi Tony We've towed a Jeep Liberty and a Honda CRV both 4-wheel down! The Jeep got terrible gas mileage when sightseeing. Both were easy to hookup. In my opinion, 4-wheel down is a must. I wouldn't want to deal with a dolly.

Freddy & Delcie Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I haven't posted in a while,, When we were at Pilot Knob the 19th of Feb Delcie had a heart attact Lucky we were at Yuma where they have a great hosp. and Cardilogest. She was in ICU on a ventilator for five days and in the hosp. five more, then in rehab for five more. Even tho she was weak we did make the Escapade. We enjoyed time with Terry and Jeri and Jeff and Tina, we are now at our homebase at Paducah Tx. Delcie is weak but doing well. We did have to give up our camp host job in Colo. because of the altitude. Don't know how much traveling we will do for a while. Maybe we will get a NM state parks pass and spend the summer checking them out. Hopeing everyone is well and having fun. LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Freddy and Delcie Thanks for the update and glad to hear that Delcie is doing better. Those higher altitudes are hard on people with heart or lung issues. We have to be real careful where we go because of Jim. We plan to be in NM in May but I suppose that is too early for you guys to be there. Life is good Freddy.

That said, Freddie are you real sure you want to spend the summer in Texas? Remember that ole Rainmaker Jeff is there also so you will prolly have wet weather and FLOODING.
