We are planning to begin full timing in a few years down the road. The
original plan was to go with a 5th wheel (32-36 ft) and a large tow
vehicle (F450 or better or equivalent). With this combo, we would spend
about the same amount (or maybe a little less) than a good motor home ...

Going to see my daughter near Frankfurt June 2007 and looking for
creative alternatives for the trip.  Any idea whether the equivalent
of DeLorme's Street Atlas exists for Europe?  GPS capable preferred?
We also plan to cover Ireland, England, Nethelands, Belgium, France,

Some of you expressed interest, if not horror, at the fact that I
had acquired a flying dog.  She has since learned to swim, run,
and chew up my shoes.  Not bad for a week.
I was afraid she might be hard of hearing, but it turns out she

Picked up from another forum. :-)
The French owned Michelin Tire company passed off the combat assault vehicle
tires known as the XRV (Extreme Retreat Velocity) as a high speed stable
tire for use in the United States on recreational vehicles.

In another few days, we have to decide on a route between these two
cities.
The choice is between taking the Yellowhead Highway through Edmonton or
going south through Calgary. Aside from a trip from the Lower 48 to

Getting Satelite TV, will take a reciever to hunting cabin, but I'm

I am a novice looking at a new 2006 Thor Summit 22 ft TT for $14,000 at
a dealer in CA.  Also  can anyone tell me what the quality TT's are and

Hi Gang,
I'm in a Coast 2 Coast park in Asheboro, NC.  Lovely place.
Funny thing happened checking in.
The boy was about seventeen or eighteen...... one question he asked

Have you changed your email address to the Hughes one? Send me an email with
your current address.
Wondering when you will be leaving the cold north for the warm southwest?

I have an onan4000  KYF with a 300-0986 remote panel. I can start it from the
remote just fine but when I stop it from the remote it blows the 5 amp fuse
each time. I can start from the switch at the genset and stop just fine.

Looks like a good opportunity.

I"m looking for companies in Texas that build CLASS "C" custom RV's.
I don't want a kitchen or restroom. Only a table/bed and storage.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Now that we're full timing, we miss having Internet access all the
time.  We no doubt spend more than the $60 per month in WiFI coffee
houses that the Verizon plan would cost. Any of you use Verizon broad

My wife and I just traded in our old Jayco pop-up and bought a ZII
