Just wrapped up a 3,500 mile triip in mine. Always be prepared to fix on the fly.
Where was that to? Do you keep any special tools or tool boxes in the rv? I was thinking maybe buy a craftsmen 190 kit or whatever and some screw drivers and a few other things

I keep standard tools in the RV to fix the small stuff.
CoachNet gets called for major items and tires.

Texas. Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Brenham (Home of Blue Bell Ice Cream).

Yeah I have a big kit like that. Also carry a small compressor that fits in storage box for air in tires. Duct tape, zip ties, small ladder (primary for cleaning windshield) and other odds and ends.

This is turning into the Speed UTV of Used RV's ! !

Hope you get it soon, riding season is here!
Good things come in time. Patience, grass hopper, patience. There's a significant learning process in play here. Haha

I think I tried all but a few of the available flavors at the Blue Bell factory... Couldn't beat $1 scoops..

I’d carry some small stuff and a hatchet for making kindling fire wood starter and something to change a tire.

On my 2000 ford F 53, I kept some wood blocks 4x6’s & 6x6’s and an old 1/2 electric impact & a bottle jack to be able to change a tire.

You can set your leveling jacks down on the wood blocks and then jack up the axle w/ the bottle jack to get the tire off the ground. Only got 1 flat in 12 years & was going to take 2+ hours for help to arrive. Wife manned the phone while I changed the tire, I was swapped out done in 35-45 minutes!


Try to go thru the process at home so you what ya need

The A&W root beer and the cookie dough is our family’s favorites. We always smuggle some back to California in the RV when we go to Parker.

@BHC Vic Add this to the list of reasons to own a motorhome! Wife can get you a couple scoops of ice cream while you drive home passing 50 cars on rice road pulling a boat behind your motorhome.

At least your getting used to paying for it and not using it :D
No shit right? We don’t have a payment on ours because we only do things to the RDP handbook. But we pay 411.00 in storage every month for it. I cringe when we don’t use ours. 😂😂
