| 2003 Beaver Patriot luxury motorcoach | Archie Cameron | We have a 2003 Beaver Patriot we've had since new with the C12 cat engine. We've had very few problems. We've thought about buying a new one but we love this coach so much. We have 3 slides and the arrangement is real nice. Beaver make a great coach. | See RoTi item |
| Re: Why not more fuel-efficient RVs | Al T. | I have been searching for a fuel efficient RV for years. The only thing I found is the Vixen TD. Made from 1986-89. They were way ahead of their time and the diesel model got 30 mpg !!!
Also, If you talk to 18 wheeler drivers, those big rigs get 6-7 mpg and their moving 50-60,000 lbs or more! Why does a 20,000lb motorhome get only 7-8mpg? Bad designs? Wind resistance? Or is it gearing? | See RoTi item |
| 2005 Country Coach Inspire | Dave SoCal | Our 2005 Inspire is experiencing what many other CC owners have - our dual paned thermal windows are clouding up. Our dealer said they can't get replacement windows from CC. Anyone know of a class action lawsuit that is already in the works? | See RoTi item |
| Re: 2008 Fleetwood Revolution LE | Mark | We're thinking of buying a 2008 42K model from a broker. It will be our 4th class A and 2nd diesel. Are these comments just isolated manufactural defects or are they systemic to Fleetwood products?? | See RoTi item |
| Re: Fulltiming | Bill Gibbs | Have a 37' Fleetwood motorhome. I'm a 67 y/o retired contractor, divorced man looking for a female traveling partner age 58 - 68. Looking for friendship, companion to mutually travel at will. Just friends - no expectations. Willing to share expenses & driving. Motorhome sleeps 6 - with master bedroom available. Would love to see more of the US, beaches & mountains. Move from area to area as we desire. | See RoTi item |
| Re: The first hybrid-electric Class A motorhome chassis | Gerald K | Yes, this is a step in the right direction. With both Fleetwood and Winnebago building prototypes no doubt other manufacturers will do the same and other chassis builders will come up with new developments. Looks good. | See RoTi item |
| 2008 Fleetwood Revolution 40R | 40R Owner | I have a 2008 40R with a full-wall slide that we bought in Feb 08. Have not had any major problems with the coach, but have found that Fleetwood can be very chinzy as far as fixing minor stuff. For example, there was some missing screws - Fleetwood said that they are not covered by warranty. That's Chinzy! | See RoTi item |
| Re: RV waste disposal - gravity or pump | paulny | I am a full timer with a 2007 Coachmen 35 footer class A. One of the reasons I liked them is because of their no mess gravity system where the hose is stored in a swivel pipe (they can still make a few improvments on). I also use a macerator pump when I visit friends homes. Its great!! I pump the waste into the homes air vent where the house plumbing system exits to the sewer. Never had a problem, just takes about an hour :( thats the only down side, that and cleaning and putting all the hoses and pump away. But it is better then having to leave and drive around looking for a place to dump!! | See RoTi item |
| Re: RV sales down but reasons for optimism | Robyn | Okay all you nayayers... look at it realistically, will ya'? Traveling with your RV still has all the benefits it always has had!
I hate hotels, so vacationing in my Travel Trailer is aways better for me than flying somewhere and staying at a hotel.
I save enough money to more than pay for my plane ticket, stay at the RV Parks, and my gas to RV Versus, fly, rent cars, and stay at hotels, and eat out all the time.
Because, even though the gas prices were up this summer, so were the hotel rates, plane fairs, etc.
So, RVing is just as affordable as any means!
And by the way, mine went to Tenn. & Florida in November, this year.
The media does a good enough job painting doom and gloom. Let's look at it this way, we're all going to still want to, and try to "get away" using our RV's not just because it's affordable but also because in todays economy and with todays stresses, we need it! | See RoTi item |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | Debra | I love this motorhome layout. I saw it in Pennsylvania and have been trying to convince my husband that this is for us. He likes it too but says we have to wait until we retire. That'll be at least ten years but maybe I can work him round. | See RoTi item |
