  1. I got certified a couple of years ago but decided not to follow through on starting a business. The course was very thorough (2 weeks) but I wasn't comfortable climbing on RV roofs on a regular basis plus I was concerned about the cost and liability issues of insurance. I did speak to a few people who are doing it and it can be lucrative based on geography. If you are moving constantly it would be hard to develop a following but if you stayed fairly local out west or down south it might work out very well. Good luck!
  2. Your options will be pretty limited once you go over 40' in New England. There aren't a lot of campgrounds that will be able to accomodate that size. Make sure you plan for the stops you want to make and research for campgrounds that can handle it along the way. The other thing to consider is your height, particularly in New England where there are a number of bridges with low clearances. So, know the height of your rig before you take off. Typically, if a tractor trailer can go that route, so can you. Suggest you get a truckers GPS to plan your route to avoid those issues. Tim
  3. 2018 Chevy Equinox...very easy to set up with no problems. Run it 5 minutes before and after each towing day and you're good to go.
  4. I am in the Orlando area and also need service done. There is a LaMesa RV in Sanford which I know a couple of people have used with satisfactory results. I'm on the west side of town so Sanford is not convenient for me but there is a shop in Lakeland called Creative Collision which services Class A's only. Depends what side of Orlando you're on but either would work out fine.
  5. We tow a 2018 Chevy Equinox 4 down....just put it in neutral and go. Just needs to be run for 5 minutes before and after each days driving.
  6. We bought a 2018 Equinox Premier in February. Wired it for towing; be sure and wire it to charge battery. Not necessary to pull fuses or disconnect battery as a result. Stick it in neutral, put it in accessory mode and hook up. Tows like a dream. Only thing I don't like about the car is that it locks automatically if the fob goes more than a couple feet away from the vehicle.
  7. We are planning a western trip in late August thru September and would like to hit Yellowstone just after Labor Day coming over from South Dakota. From there we would like to see the National Parlks in Utah and then work our way back east from there leaving the area by the end of September. We are in a 2005 Tiffin gasser 35'. Are there any routes recommended (or to absolutely avoid) due to grade issues?
  8. I would be concerned about fulltiming in a Keystone trailer. Not sure but I don't believe they are warrantied for full time use not to mention the question of whether it will stand up to full time use. I would take a look at Grand Design as a minimum or DRV for full time living.
