We will get our new motor home the first of December. We are trying to decide where our first trip should be. Since we want warmer temps, we were thinking Arizona as we have never been. Any suggestions?

  8 hours ago I agree with this. You need to understand how everything works on this RV. You didn't say so I am assuming with DD this is your first.

  41 minutes ago I suggest renting a few different kinds of rigs to see what you like and don't like, what you can handle and what you can't handle. Use the rental for a weekend trip. We rented four times before we bought our motorhome five years ago.

  10 hours ago Little River State Park in Waterbury is a nice small state park on the Waterbury Reservoir. Fun to hang out. Also close to Waterbury, Stowe, Montpelier or the Mad River Valley, all with interesting fall activities. Not much boondocking in VT.

  Tue at 5:49 AM Don’t want to be a nay-sayer, but most RVers are not built for hard winter use. That said, many rigs that are stationary for the winter put skirting completely around the vehicle to prevent cold air from blowing underneath. If you use 3” foam ... more

  Tue at 5:56 AM Even mobile homes have skirting! One thing you need is a strait pipe to dump thru, the accordion pipe will break and leak. Heat tape on your waterline is also necessary!

  Tue at 6:00 AM JLF: Your last question, I think, is the main purpose; another way to generate interest in members who have not attended a rally and perhaps do not even know what they are. The results are available in real time as displayed.
