RE: Club Memberships
If you do buy a membership, make it a resale as it will cost much less. and read the fine print. you may be stuck for life.

I've got to post something in forum posting and support because mine isn't in red block letters.

RE: Side windows are fogged up
I tired of fixing fogged dual pane windows so one by one as they fail I have a piece of laminated glass installed in the original window frames. It is the same glass used in the windshield. I haven't experienced any significant difference in temperature loss/gain, moisture or sweating is the same, and the laminated glass is a better sound barrier than the dual pane windows were.
OH NO, debunks the "HOLY GRAIL"

RE: Winterizing--water pump kit question
Yes, did the water heater bypass and flushed the pink stuff through the toilet.
This was not my first time winterizing the camper. Rather it was the first time I used the pump kit. Previous years I put the antifreeze into the fresh water tank. Not complicated but it sure uses much more antifreeze than the 2 or so gallons I used this time!
so you previously got antifreeze thru OK from the FW Tank but couldn't from the bottle/kit? and you did everything else the same? you did put the "T" valve before pump? doesn't compute??????
bumpy
Actually it does compute if there is an air leak. These pumps can run for days (yes I did it, oops) with no water but they don't like air leaks.
but the air leak would have to be between the pump and bottle thru the T?????????

RE: Inflatable cooler
That video proved what I've felt all along, just extra foam, and a better sealing lid, plus that sucker tax that comes when you buy something because of the name.
Marketing at its finest.
that was a cheap POC that he compared to. I don't think there would be that poor a job on the $48 special knockoff. they wouldn't sell as many if they didn't have YETI embossed on them.

RE: diesel class c
Having owned a Sprinter for two years, I can make the folding comments:
We did have an LPG generator in ours. A few have diesel, but the bi=lk are propane
They drive nice, ride reasonably well, and you can go anywhere in town that a 1 ton pickup can.
They are expensive to maintain. For shop related shrives you can expect to pay $250 to $450 for an oil change (depending where and who does it), $1000 minimum for the first Schedule A servic=ve and $1500 or more for the Schedule B service. All parts for the MBS are expensive.
MB states not to idle in excess of 5 minutes due to complications with EGR setup
MB states not to use any biodiesel above 5% (although yo re now seeing some relief, I believe) If you run greater than 5%, you really have to watch your oil levels.
We really dislike the split bed design in our unit (rear bed slide) plus the chores of having make and unmake the bed every time you move.
Not a lot of room in the units if you hit bad e=weather and are confined to inside for several days. Also, storage, lack of, is a real issue as there is a limited cargo weight.
After two years, we went to a class A, and are very satisfied the upgrades space, and comfort.
but you save a lot on fuel, pay 30% more for 15% increase in mileage.

RE: Inflatable cooler
speaking of coolers, I have been lusting over a small 26 quart yeti and saw knock offs for about $100. yesterday I saw wallyworld having those reduced to $48. think I will go for it.

RE: diesel class c
why do I get the feeling that everything service/parts/labor/etc. will cost more in a mercedes diesel?
bumpy
BECAUSE THEY DO!
my buddy pays 160$$ for an oil change when mine is 39$$ on my ford E350 V10
reminds me of years back, and I mean more than 25 years, a friend at work called me aside and asked if I thought that $3,000 was reasonable for the routine maintenance on his Volvo. I gulped and said it sounded somewhat high to me. :) at that time I don't think I had ever spent over $3000 total for ALL the maintenance on my vehicles.

RE: Inflatable cooler
I saw a hard plastic folding one, at Sam's club IIRC that would be better than this one at less money. they made some outlandish claim that it would keep food without ice however.

RE: BEST ROUTE WITH LEAST MOUNTAINS
90 to Buffalo and then hiway 16 you hit mountains as you cross the Big Horns to Cody. By then you will be an old hand at towing and have no problems coming into Yellowstone via Sylvan Pass.
Take your time and think about what you are doing. Mind your speed going down hill, because the chances are small you will go straight back up the other side (there will be a curve or two somewhere ahead.
you obviously missed reading the OP, "Hello,my husband and I will be traveling with a fifth wheel from NC to west Yellowstone in august of next year.I am scared of heights and drop offs . I would appreciate some advise as to the route I can take to and from west Yellowstone with no drop-offs .Please advise"

It’s pretty flat between NC and Montana. Once you reach the eastern edge of the Rockies it’s pretty tough to keep going west from that point without going through mountains. With your fear of heights maybe you should reconsider a trip to the western U.S.
as long as you go on I-90 and then drop down to yellowstone there is no real problem.

RE: Tow with Chevy Bolt?
Installing a hitch on a leased vehicle doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
Maybe this forum can help answer your questions?

probably against the "rules". especially on such a "puny" vehicle.

RE: Moki Dugway, can I do it?
Is this the road you want to drive?
I took it about 20 years ago in 40' motorhome.
Don't remember the road number, but remember that when I ask ranger before going there, she answer
"the road has no curbs, but that's a good thing becouse you'd scratch your motorhome on them"
