I really want to get into the travel-across-North-America thing. Is an RV
the best thing to buy? What about a VW van? Can you park rv's anywhere, and
*safely*, to sleep for the night?
Thanks,

Our trip to Yellowstone and then across to the Oregon coast went well.
We only had one incident, and that happened just outside of Springfield, OR.
We pulled into a school parking lot to have a stretch.  There were a

I purchased a second hand 23' Shasta pull behind camper recently and
have been checking it out in our driveway before venturing to a
campground.  I'll admit I'm a newbie to camper maintenance... this is my
first.

Anybody know of a good campground in San Diego?  Hotel prices are obnoxious
and I'm not sure if DH will go for a hostel; actually, I'm not sure about a
hostel in San Diego, either, because they all tout their keg parties and pub

I am trying to find two windshield gaskets for a 1994 Hawkins Motor Coach.
Mine have shrunk and started to leak.  I have tried several glass places and
none of them have them.  Anyone happen to know of a place that carries
them??

I have a motorhome with a 6500 watt Onan generator and when I press the
starter switch to crank it, I hear sort of a crackling noise from the
generator for a few seconds then the starter will turn.
So if anyone knows what's wrong please reply. Thanks for any input.

Hi, world.
I bought a used Onan genset, model 15.0JC-18R/17164AB.  When it
arrived, it was wired for three phase power.  According to the
