  1. After 2 Ford 450 based units one of my criteria for this one was a Chevy chassis. My present one is on a Chev 4500.
  2. Very good traveling friend has a Coach House, the cabinetry looked nice until the hinges & knobs started pulling out of the particle board. We owned a Leisure Travel Sprinter van for a couple of years, was an ok rig, but as all rigs...especially 'B's' on Sprinter chassis....over priced. I’d add the Phoenix to the possibles, no personal experience but the ones I’ve looked at appeared to be pretty nice.
  3. The ones who disagree have been blinded by the bling IMOO. I will say that after some extensive work in the Foretravel I found not one piece of particle board, but the wiring was like a mad person string caca.Lazy Daze was almost aircraft quality in that area. The old steel Blue Birds were also exceptional.
  4. Oops, the phrase "are crap" was deleted somehow.
  5. Start with the understanding that ALL RV's along with most of the stuff built in. Motorhomes since 1977, I’ve owned a lot of them. My present rig is a '14 Forest River 24’ Class C, previous was a ‘03 Foretravel, 06 Lazy Daze 26’ ( the 2ond one). I went with the Forest River knowing what I was getting, the Foretravel & Lazy Days were expensively disappointing. Butttt, of all the RV's I’ve owned the 2 Lazy Daze were the best constructed of all. They had some design/construction issues, but overall they were best. I haven’t owned a Borning Free but did admire them, met with old man Dogen twice and was impressed with their construction techniques.
  6. We have class B licenses that were up for renewal and found that they couldn’t be renewed on the internet.
  7. Love my Victron Multiplus 2000, and especially the Bluetooth battery monitor.
  8. These are some of the BEST people that I've dealt with. I (we) wanted to make sure that my inverter/charger, Morningstar solar controller, and Trimetric were set correctly, they (BBB) contacted the companies to get the proper settings to best match their batteries. Never before!I'm excited to get these, they'll get a good workout going to Alaska! I have both a residential Refer and chest freezer in the FT....going fishing this time up there.
  9. I've ordered 4 of their batteries.
  10. Does anyone here have any experience with these batteries ? I've been in email contact with the company, with questions several times over the past couple of weeks, I've always received prompt, complete replies, even on Sunday. But looking for actual users experience. https://battlebornbatteries.com/
  11. Great write up addressing an often misunderstood topic.
  12. Sounds to me like WE need to just go ahead and pay everyone $50 an hour!
  13. Kinda like when I lived in China, just inland from Hong Kong. The Brits (driving on the left side of the road)were turning HK back to China (driving on the right) the legislators decided things needed to change in HK so. The bill was put together to change all commercial vehicles one day, private vehicles one week later to avoid mass confusion....a prime example of government in action! How would you like to be a RV'er traveling thru....who wasn't privy to the "logic" involved ?
  14. "Can't be eliminated" ?? How many counties actually require emission testing ? Why "might as well include safety items and make them statewide"? What a crock !
  15. Why would handling it quietly be the best way for all concerned ??! I can only see one party here that may benefit from handling it quietly, and it isn't a member that may need to renew their registration while in BFE (if that is still a place ), or Minnesota .
  16. I have seen NOTHING from the club on this...was it in the magazine, or on this forum, or how about on the built end board in the parks ? I have a home base at Rainbows End, now gotta rethink a SD address.
