100% CW here. Have not been on SSB or even FM for many years. -Don- AA6GA Auburn, CA

You can use that area for storage of light items, as I do in my Class C. Just make sure nothing heavy can drop down on your head! -Don- Reno

Most smaller motorhomes are good for about a week of boondocking for one person. A few days with two people, etc. Gray tank is often around fifty gallons and the black tank is usually half that size. Fresh water tank is usually fifty gallons. Usually, a Class A will have larger tanks. In my...

Yeah, I knew you were into electronics or electricity somewhat, but I didn't how much. 470 AH of battery sounds like a lot. But are they LiFePO4 lith batteries? Besides the fact the lith batteries last a lot longer, I like the fact that they keep the voltage nice and high until they are more...

I was lucky to get a generator with my new RV. I purchased my RV last September. They were selling many other RVs with no genny because Onan couldn't buy a ten cent part for the control board during the COVID thing and Onan would not release any gennys that were not completed. So the agreement...

They have been improved a lot over the years. And people need to know how to use them. Such as be as level as possible and open the doors and windows when the slideouts are moved. They push a lot of air. Most of the newer RVs will level themselves with a push of a button. But as with anything...

Yeah, some of the RVs with slideouts I won't even look at. In my new Class A it has plenty of room for every thing needed with the slides in. The kitchen simply has more space with the slide out and then two more beds can be used. The rear has a king bed where the slide must be out. But it is...

That really surprises me. They must have been the only ones. That will explain the neat wiring. -Don- Reno, NV

Sometimes it is more complicated than that, even for one person. For an example, there are places where I may want to stop for the night, but I don't want to put out my slides and make it obvious I am staying there for a while. Such as in the southeast where they do NOT allow overnight stops...

Have you looked at a few? With any brand, one can be neat and the next messy. Different people are building the same models with no real plan on most of the house wiring. If they are all done the same way and neat, that would really be surprising. I assume you know Lazy Daze is now out of...

That is the norm for RVs. Each one can have different color wires and such for the same runs and they are always messy where you cannot normally see with wires all over. My new 2022 165K$ Class A is NO exception. In fact, I expect such as I understand how they are built. It's kinda like...

I own both, a Class C and a Class A. I am happy with both of mine, but I did some work on each to make them the way I want. Mostly electrical stuff, such as adding a lith house battery, smartshunts, DC2DCC so I can run several KWs of stuff without using the generator. That includes such work on...

Just take them one at a time and post your questions here. There are many VHF/UHF users in this forum who will be happy to help and get you set up for the area you're in. -Don- Reno

Did you read the owner's manual? What parts do you need help with? If you're not familiar with the terms, there are several people here who can help. While I own several VHF/UHF portables, I almost never use them. I don't think I have even turned one on in a year. But I am a fairly active...

I just now did a pre-order for my newest toy. Base price is $25,880.00. Can be pre-ordered here. Today is the very first day they may be pre-ordered. The price was released just a few hours ago. Perhaps I was the very first order. -Don- Auburn, CA

Sounds about right to start having tranny issues in a 1997. The 1999 Jeep trannies usually last past 200K miles, but not the 1997. I recently junked my 97 Jeep. I still have my 1999. -Don- Auburn, CA

How many miles are on it? -Don- Auburn, CA

The Energica Esse Esse 9 is very comfy. It's more of a touring bike and built for comfort. MUCH more comfy than the HD LW (I have done a test ride on the LW). The Ego is a sport bike. A kid's racing bike. Easy to get killed on. NOT designed for comfort, more for racing and speed. The Ribelle...

Yes, it's good looking quality machine, but I wouldn't want it for these reasons: 1. Charges slow even on CCS (~15 KW max). 2. Only charges at 1.4 KW with 240 VAC. 3. No Reverse. 4. No way to add decent luggage. 5. Expensive for what you get. Compare to Energica. The Energica charges at as...

Storing gas in an approved container is LESS dangerous than having a car or motorcycle in the garage or a shed with gasoline in the tank. And most of us do such with no worries. Vehicles have many more ways to leak gasoline than an approved gasoline container. Houses have gone up in flames...
