    The Rally 2011 (Good Sam) - July 14-17 - Redmond, Oregon - Anyone going?

    Jim We have been to 2 of the rally's and stayed on site. Yes a little expensive, but you can get back to your unit anytime you need a nap or lunch. We were drycamped with no problems at all. Yes it was "warm" but now unbearable. We won't be there this year though.

    Quartzsite

    we were there last year. All seemed to be Ok. Fewer vendors, I think because of the "market" Get to the RV show before it opens, maybe 30 minutes or so. You will then have no parking problems or traffic problems. Do no park on the road to the south of the RV show. It is posted no parking, but...

    Automatic or independent levelling jacks

    I put in a second jack this spring. Cost $300 plus shipping from Lippert. It replaces the door side jack, now I can control either jack separately. I think it was well worth the cost. Install was not difficult. it took about 2 hrs for the job.

    Duratain Protective Sealant

    only my opinion.... the dealer pushes smoething for big profit. $10 product, minimum wage to apply for 1 hr. and charge $500 for the option. I wax my rig once a year and that way I get to inspect the whole rig myself and fix anything I suspect needs attention

    Bighorn Front Jacks

    I had sort of the same problem. Sometimes the jacks needed help to start jacking the 5th up. The fix was only $300 away. Bought a 2nd jack for the other side, now I have no problems

    Is it worth it? Dealer add ons

    extended warranties make the dealers lots of money. Check out good sam extended warranties. You can fix just about anything on the 5th wheels or trailers. All it will cost you is the parts and a little time.

    RV Tire Use and Maintenance - Best Practices

    Jim, one thing esle to look at on tires. Look at the tread, if it is not flat across and the tread looks bowed or rounded, the tire could be delaminating. Just had that with one of my Mission tires after 15000+ miles. All new Marathons now

    Possible to use different tire size?

    Hi Chris. I just put new tires on my 3055. Got the Goodyear Marathon's. Looked at many other Brands, most were Chinese knock-off's. Got them from Dale's automotive on th Surrey Langley boarder. Best price by far. PM me and I will give you thier phone number or call me @ 604 946 2701

    I have one, used it the first year and have not used it since. This winter put on air pressure sensors that measure temperature on the tires. Air pressure is more important!

    We need recommendations for Very nice RV parks in Northern and Central California that allow 3 or 4 month stays.

    East of Bakersfield Ca. on Highway 58 is the Orange Grove RV Park. About 8 miles east of Bakersfield. We have stayed there overnight for a number of years as we pass through. Did not stay there this year though, but it was a nice park
