    Walmart with a dog?

    It'll be obvious you are there regardless. Cars at the edge of the lot at wally world always look like they are occupied. I overnighted *once* at one in my motorhome. One other RV and a bunch of cars and a van. All had occupants. Some dickhead opened my waste valves a bit so when I showered...

    SIMPLE CARGO TRAILER

    You may want to consider a lay flat bed. You may not sleep well in the recliner night after night.

    Gym/Fitness Membership Horror Stories - Looking for alternatives

    Truck stops are your best bet. Buying your fuel there gets you points for free showers and such. I'm not sure if you can do this in the US, but in Aisa, I can rent a hotel room near the airport for a minimal fee to shower and sometimes enough time for a nap. Camp grounds may let you use theirs...

    77 GMC Motor Home Questions

    Consider a Safari. I have A 1996 35' Safari Sahara. It is a Diesel Pusher. Paid less than $15K. I hop in and hit the road. No worries. It just goes. It averages 9MPG, which is great for a 9 ton building that goes up a lot of hills. I am converted. Many folks in our GMC club have them now. Great...

    77 GMC Motor Home Questions

    No matter what you spend, it takes at least $20K to make a GMC motorhome reliable and livable. Been there, Done that. Buy it if you have the funds and plan to keep it, join the clubs (lots of good ones, We're still in ours) and enjoy the coach and it's particular brand of lifestyle. Pass on it...

    Tapping into residual electricity

    It's called induction. It is basically how a transformer works. One guy got caught powering his home with a huge coil under a power line over his property. The power line was basically the primary and his coil was the secondary. His argument was that the energy was free because it was radiated...

    GMC Classic 1978

    GMC's are 23 and 26 ft. This is a 26. Some have been stretched to 39, 32, etc. one was shortened to 21 and a jacuzzi tub was installed (Not kidding). They are Narrow as MoHo's go. You can burn out all the way across an intersection and cruise at 90MPH all day long in them. They are fun, but they...

    GMC Classic 1978

    That fuel injection system may be something to be concerned about. Not many people can work one the Aftermarket stuff... I know of this coach, and the price is decent for all the goodies, but plan to have about $5K set aside just in case. They do drive nice.

    GMC Classic 1978

    Lots of good upgrades. I had one. Doesn't matter how much you pay for it, in the end when it is all done and good, you's have $30K into it.

    Cargo conversion

    It's nice, And looks like some thought went into the Aircon installation with regards to inlet and outlet vents for the condenser side. It's a $2,800 cargo trailer with some home depot additions. I'd say the price is high. Like others said, it is more money than what you would spend if you...

    What Would You Like to See in a Charge Controller? (long post)

    Take something like a Midnight Kid or Classic, and add Remote capability with a SIM card so I can access and control it remotely via cell Data. I'm trying to do this now with my Classic, but my Verizon Jetpack appears to have gone off line and I cannot "call" it to reset it. In addition, such...

    Extended Stays

    Since you are in Prescott, start up on Mingus Mountain. Nice camping up there. You can stay for 2 weeks. A year or so ago, there was a lightning strike which took out the power system in the campground. If the power is still fubar in the campground, the rates are reduced. there is a bath house.
