      Jack Huber February 17 About three years ago we bought a couple of 12-speeds with motors and batteries.  They were pedaling bikes and like mopeds they could be used with or without pedaling.  The problem was that the battery added about 25 pounds to the weight of the ...  more

      Writer2021 Mon at 2:25 AM Thank you all for responding! Your suggestions are very helpful. Another question- The RVs seem pretty automated, physically not a big deal to hookup? Do you all have/use your washer/dryer? And what about heat, I see some have heaters.

        Pete & Beaver Hester Mon at 2:25 AM Yes, ours has a washer and dryer and we use them regularly. I love having them. Ours is an older model and does not have all the automatic levelers. I can’t attest to how easy or hard it is as my husband does all the work there. I know I need to learn...  more

        LarandSus Mon at 2:25 AM There will be a range of automation depending on the type of RV and make/model. Ours is fairly automated. The heavy lifting parts are the 50 amp power cord and the hitch/unhitch of our tow car towbar.

        Rick & Barb Hubert Mon at 2:25 AM RVs can be somewhat automated - when things work,  But you will find that because there are so many systems which must be understood, maintained and used properly that things will break.  So you as the owner must learn how the RV works.  Ju...  more

      Suzan and Art February 17 As Jean and John said: We've used both AT&T and Verizon in all the states. In Canada it gets expensive and we have gotten Rogers there.  Check prices as they are always offering deals to get people to sign up.

      Karen & Collins Mon at 4:49 AM FMCA offers a couple of mobile data plans.  Sprint is unlimited.  so far, it's ok, but not fabulous.  They said it didn't work great toward the west.  We've had Verizon, which is probably the best, but our plan throttles back after 15 ...  more
