  1. I have watched the Lippert frame issue for many years. Clearly there is a problem but when I hear Lippert just builds to the customer specs I have concern. If my customer wanted me to do subquality work on my reputation I would say no.
  2. I only have one credit card. If you ever had you CC company call you saying your card is canceled do to being hacked. It has happened to me three times in the last 10 years so don't think it won't happen.They will tell you a new one will be over nighted. It will not come for three days. You can travel but can't buy gas or food so when traveling I keep enough to last four or five days. Cash is always a handy item to help get out of a jam.
  3. Some people think the cost is not relevant!! When I was in sales (35 years) I ended my sales pitch with the price. Closed 80% of sales calls.
  4. Someone got a bargain on the lift. I had a motorcycle lift of theirs. It was definitely over engineered.
  5. I would think Texas would want to see the car to verify the title matches the vin number on the car and to verify that the car is not stolen. Most states want this to be done within 30 days. At the least run the vin number to verify it is not stolen. I would start with a call to Texas license department.
  6. I had a Direct link in my Volvo when I had a NH. I would recommend the Direct link highly.

    Thank you for the pictures!
  8. Have you called silverleaf? I bought a 2002 Beaver one year ago with the silverleaf system. I called them and they were more than helpful.
  9. 100 lb propane tank can not be laid on it side. What ever you do run it by your propane supplier for safety requirements.
  10. Direct wire works good for the seller but leaves the buyer out to dry. Would you really feel good if you were the buyer? Then what if the RV has a lien on it? There is more to it than direct wire transfer.
  11. Well said and Thank you for the history lesson. Yesterday I said to my wife, I wonder how many people going camping this weekend even know what Memorial Day is for.
  12. My wife lets me get down to two honeydo's let then adds more honey. It is neverending. But it keeps me active.
  13. 75% and no work seems pretty sweet. My social security is no where 75% of my working days pay check. You not only are busier but it gets more intense. Most of the business is self inflicted though. The benefit is when you want to quit for the day you can.
  14. The policy is auto owners insurance. It states "motor home used for pleasure 30-150 days by a 68 year old operator".
  15. Are you a full timer? My policy specifically states max use per year 90 days. That is a polite way of saying not for full timers.
  16. Just an update of what I experienced. If I done a build again I would have pre plumbed for washer dryer, generator prep, dishwasher prep and most likely done a res refrigerator. I found people have the money to buy exactly what they want regardless of the cost. At least two people wanted my rig but it was missing one thing so they were willing to spend at least $120000 more and wait from what I hear 22 months to get their wish. NH is a very well built rig but the quality did not out weight the want list of the buyers. I really found that most people thought they had enough truck to pull the rig. Good luck with your sale.
  17. Sound like you need to talk to Illinois DOT for the update rules. In Texas and also Colorado you go on thru, then they send you a bill in the mail which is due in about 10 days. Personally I will never drive through Chicago on I-80 ever again.
  18. Finally sold for $75000 after one year. Great fifthwheel but very poor resale value.
  19. I just got my new medicare supplement price. Blue Cross went up 18% They never miss an opportunity to raise a rate. On another topic, I saw a video by a financial guru on interest rates. 30 years from 1950 to 1980 interest rates trended up then 40 years to 2020 interest rates trended down. They contend the next 30 years interest rates will trend up. This is good for retirees with money out at interest.
  20. This is why I don't have tow coverage and warranty coverage. You need a lawyer to read the contract then a lawyer to get money out of the insurance company. Just put some money aside every year for the incase tow bill.
  21. Jim You are so right. From what I hear this one new is $240K with about a two year wait. Other than camping in it 38 nights it has sat in my building the rest of the time. Only reason for selling is we changed ways of travel.
