  1. Today
  2. Please, read the policy as soon as it arrives. We were told our Class C was covered even though it was the only vehicle we owned. The policy itself said NOT covered if it was the only vehicle. We quickly cancelled that policy and got all our money back. It pays to read the actual wording of the policy. Linda Sand
  3. I am in Kansas and the state you are domiciled in matters. That said, I have Shelter Insurance on my truck Peterbit 387 registered as an RV in Kansas with no restrictions, I tow a 48' Kentucky drop frame van in addition to my Teton. My policy has been rather consistant fot the last 5 years with modest rate hikes, about 1200 a year full coverage 1000.00 deductable.
  4. I want to replace my 110v fridge in my outdoor kitchen to a three way fridge. I’m starting to do more camping without hookups. I will have to T off and run a new propane line from my furnace, fridge or hot water tank. Has anyone done this before and what might I expect?
  5. Interesting Jim. I just changed to Progressive from National General through Miller Insurance. My contact was Roxanne Sutton. I specifically asked her about bob tail coverage and was told there were no restrictions. They did have to cover the trailer also but it is a separate policy. Wonder why a difference? I did also speak with Grace Street at Lazy Days in Florida (same company Rick is using) and she was quoting me a Progressive policy but it was the same rate and coverage Miller quoted so I stayed where I had been for the past 14 years.
  6. Yesterday
  7. We have nationwide with agent in rapid city. It’s covered towing or bobtail. Another thing I just found out about yesterday is safelite glass doesn’t do hdt sand I think motor homes. We had an appointment for today and the guy called yesterday and said he doesn’t know how the appointment got made. February 1 they started phasing out the inventory. We just have to go to another company to get it done. Safelite does the glass coverage for nationwide so just some info.
  8. Our 2005 Kenworth is Insured thru our general Auto Home and Farm carrier Missouri Farm Bureau. Can be mad but a One Year FULL coverage Policy based on Limited use per year and licensed as Truck not MH is less than $300. Our 1999 Ford F250SD same coverage is $278 every six months. Does NOT care if pull RV or Equipment trailers or if leaves state for extended periods. HOWEVER, did ask both the State and the Insurer of Licensing RV. In MO, RVs cannot EVER be used for a materials or farm goods hauler, cannot connect to a general purpose trailer and haul even our own goods, $500 fine first citation, moves to $5000 second and loss of RV license. Secondly once Titled as RV cannot within MO retitle as a Work vehicle or even a Personal Use general truck again. License sounded prohibitive as to be adequate had to get 48,000 Beyond Local license, not Commercial but as such is over $560 per year and we are required to have a Federal DOT inspection annually. For the Insurer, to Insure Strictly as a RV or MH was over $3000 per year where they also will NOT cover if used as a General Purpose Truck, so we made a correct choice. Bobtail as reach a Site was questioned, we would have still been covered.
  9. How timely. I just got off the phone with another forum member who's also shopping for insurance on his truck and new fiver. You say you're with Progressive, but which agent? I'm with Progressive through Lazy Days Insurance in Florida, and have no such restrictions. When I called Miller Insurance, they had the restrictions you mention. And just so you know, there's only a few agents in the country who can write these policies. My local agent, who handles all our other policies, could not do it, even though he's a Progressive agent.
  10. Our 2001 Volvo is titled as a Motorhome. Progressive, who we are currently insured with, said they would only cover the truck in combination with the policy on the trailer. They also said it was not covered when driving bobtail except for taking it for repairs or fueling locally. I know some HDT'rs have taken their trucks bobtail on excursions such as to parks their full rig would not fit, etc. What insurance companies is anyone using that does not require the trailer be attached when traveling? Has anyone insured their trucks without a trailer on the same policy? TIA Jim
  11. Thank you for noticing and letting me know. I made an edit to include the email. or: hughb99@yahoo.com
  12. You will miss the toll on De route 1 but pay the toll on the new 301 by-pass around Middletown, the toll at the Bay bridge is northbound, if you stay on 301 until Va you pay the toll southbound at the bridge into Va.
  13. Us-50/301 takes you to Annapolis. US-301 will take you South avoiding both Baltimore and DC. I have not taken this route in years but it is my understanding that improvements have eliminated a lot of the congestion around Waldorf. I-95 in DE and MD has some of the highest tolls in the country. Not sure how the tolls of the two routes compare as the Key Bridge had a toll. I think the toll on MD I-95 is only North bound so the tolls are different depending on which direction you are travelling.
  14. Route 40 I believe is basically the truck route thru Baltimore and not a really fun route to follow, another way around would be is traveling south in Delaware take De route 1 to 301 then 50 west from there you can jump back onto 95/495 or 301 south but there are tolls.
  15. Nothing to do with your route but Dennis Hill used to coordinate a group he called loosey goosey. They would pick a destination for the next travel day. Some would get up early and arrive early. Some would sleep late and arrive late. Most were somewhere in between. But, they all knew who was still missing until the last of them arrived. When I was a kid, my family traveled with other camping families. Our system was that the leader would drive for an hour then stop to watch as each family passed making for a new leader who continued that pattern. That way, if anyone got in trouble they were never too far back for someone to go help. Linda Sand
  16. Last week
  17. Hey Everyone, Multiple people reached out same day and I have one buyer that I am going through the transfer process with now for full asking price. If this falls through I would be happy to reach out to you both.
  18. If you have not traveled by RV in the US before I think that you will find most RV travelers to be easy to meet and make friends with. We can also help you with planning a route if you think that would be helpful. There are a lot of folks from Ontario that winter in the US south so you should be able to locate some, even if not through this site. If there is a local RV club, try contacting them.
  19. Is there a specific reason you want to travel with others? It's difficult to do as people have their own ideas of when and where to stop.
  20. If you look at the map online, you can see where each of the campgrounds are. There are now new directors in charge so some things may be different but most of the events and activities will be in the buildings numbered 2, 3, & 4 on that map. As you can easily see, the closest campground for full hookups is Pilot Butte with White Mountain next. Boar's Tusk is about a mile from the activity area and we didn't use it at all the first time so I don't know what the transportation situation will be but for me that would be a choice of last resort. We will not. We missed last year for the first time in 10 years. I was part of security for 7 years and team leader for 5 but age and health issues for Pam have brought all of that to an end. I sold our travel trailer last July as it had been 1 year since it was used. I sold my truck this past fall so we have no means to take part now. I have a difficult time accepting it but we are now past 80 and slowing down. I would probably still be doing it but Pam is not able. We lived in Cheyenne, WY for 18 years and have been to that area many times. EDIT: I might add that there was dry camping for those who wanted that in several areas close in as well. The triangular area just to the east of Pilot Point campground, and the small parking next to the dog park & across from Pilot point were both dry camping areas as was the green area to the east of the horse stalls. Not being on staff anymore, I do not know if the new directors will do that again.
  21. This will create a real traffic mess. The last I knew, RV's were prohibited from the tunnels. 695 around the west of Baltimore is quite a bit longer. I wonder if US-1 / US-40 is a viable alternative. Safe Travels...
  22. Kirk, I'm thinking of going this year, my 2nd escapade. When you register, it asks which of 3 campgrounds you want. But only one, White Mountain ('close to the action!) is on the map, and it appears to be further from "the action" than another campground, Pilot Butte. Which is not on the Escapade map....? Thanks! PS will you be there?
  23. We are pulling a 36ft fifth wheel from Reno to Trinidad in June and wonder what the best route might be. We would like to take the 395/44 to Redding then 299 to Trinidad. Anyone have thoughts? Thank you.
  24. Anyone here from North Bay, Ontario, Canada? We are looking at travelling to Arizona in the fall and would like to travel along with others that are going.
  25. Our Keystone tt has been great. My wife, I and two large dogs (80lb, 55lbs) have enjoyed this trailer for nearly 5 years. Our favorite campground is just 2 hours up the road and we have spent many long weekends at Cagle in the Sam Houston National Forest. The many Texas state parks have also been part of our travels and we have enjoyed them as well. On several occasions we have made use of her during power outages to stay warm or cool depending. We are moving to Boston very soon and hate to part with her but really have no choice. We won't have a space available for parking and storage fees are more than we're willing to pay. I believe her to be in very good condition. Prior to creating this listing I checked all components and as of this writing everything works great. We have replaced the front axle, the shower skylight and added Maxair vents. We got a Covercraft sunbrite cover after owning for 3 months. The cover only comes off when we travel or for an inspection or maintenance if we have not traveled in a month or two. This model has the recliners rather than the U-dinette. The vinyl has worn thin so we purchased a valour cover that we find to be attractive and comfortable. I made a small stand on the armrest to hold two theater style swing tables between the recliners that work great for dining indoors or as a writing surface. We found the counter extension to be small so had a custom Starbrite surface made that is 20"x24". It is more durable and the larger workspace is great. It easily stores in the space at the foot of the bed. We also use this space for our Aussie grill. There is a mount on the rear bumper for the grill and an LP a quick connection easily accessible right under the bumper. Also added a Dynasty custom queen mattress and blackout curtains for the windows. The unit is quiet, dark and comfortable. After several trips we found the hanging wardrobes to be awkward for our trips. We added ContainerStore drawers that make for more usable organized storage space. Unit includes pots, pans, silver, plates and glasses. We have many accessories: leveling blocks, surge protector, drain hoses, fresh water plumbing and many more to numerous to list that are also included. We also have an EZ2 Hitch swaybar hitching system that is currently attached to the trailer. Happy to include it in the package for an extra $500. We think it is a great tt for getting started as an rv'er or for someone looking to downsize. It has pretty much everything you need to get started. It is easy to tow and goes down the road easily. $18,500 asking price. Please shoot us an email with any questions you may have: hughb99@yahoo.com
  26. The Francis Scott Key Bridge around Baltimore was hit by a cargo ship at about 1:00AM this morning. The bridge was pretty much completely destroyed.
  27. I think that you would be better off in the park that you don't have to leave, but make sure that is true as it may be the reason for requiring a tow vehicle. If all that they require is having a tow vehicle but you don't ever have to move, you could alway just find the cheapest half ton pickup and park it, then keep your Jeep to drive. The second park is going to get to be a real headache to move out and in twice a year and that will also get expensive.
