Maybe a New Rig Next Spring

Even the crumbs in the bottom were good -

PGHFiend replied to PGHFiend's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
I thought so too. Lets hope im not wrong! I'd really appreciate that. Tell him the cookies were good too! My uncle owns a radio station here and gets a tin of cookies from the Dave Ramsey show at Christmas time. He knows how much the show has helped us so one year he gave them to me with a fake congratulatory note inside. Are Christy cookies well known in the area? -
The best secrets of Disney World
PGHFiend replied to LV426Princess's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I'll add the first pitch at Caseys. I have never seen it, even with numerous attempts to be there at the correct time! How about all the special names on the windows on main street, or the different sidewalks in each land. What about the music/dance lessons you can overhear in the alley off main street. Besides that, get a hidden mickey book or try to hit all of the different pressed penny machines. Sorry we all missed this as well. -

Well, someone put a deposit on the Grand Design 317 at the St. Augustine Camping World I was looking at...so that was out. A day or two later I heard Dave Ramsey's voice in my head telling me to not spend the money we had planned. So now after feeling too guilty to get the $42k new model 320mks, And too guilty to spend $30k on a used model And because I'm a glutton for punishment..... I got lucky (or I'm a moron) and happened to come across a mint 2015 Grand Design 317 just like I was looking for......except someone hit it into a low overhang and put a hole in the r -
Sam's Club Closures
PGHFiend replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
I'm sorry for the loss of employment, but I just always felt Sams is just Wal-Mart quality junk in bigger packages. Now, I'd almost cry over the loss of a Costco! -
Testing the paid fast pass system and then some
PGHFiend replied to AuburnJen's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions

What to do if your tow vehicle DIES
PGHFiend replied to mastergracey's topic in RV Repairs on the Road, at FW and Elsewhere
I agree with that. I only drive about 7 miles to work so I don't worry about it too much. It's an amazingly smooth and quiet engine though. I work for a construction co in the summer and we have 150 or so pickups, 99 percent ford. I think only a handful have less than 100k and several with over 200k, and one in particular has 385k as of last I drove it! These are 5.4 and 6.2 versions but in the same family. -
Trip to the SW...
PGHFiend replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
It's flat, mildly rolling and pretty to look at. Its the first time I learned about what they call "post rock country", and it's not what you think. I drove a 45 foot MH with a toad there for a side gig and flew home. On the way I passed so many cool things. I want to actually go back on my own time and visit on purpose. -
Another Blackeye for the Monorails

They'll have to hang up more band-aid scented christmas tree air fresheners. -

PGHFiend replied to mastergracey's topic in RV Repairs on the Road, at FW and Elsewhere
I've often pondered this as well with 147K on my truck. Depends on where we broke down ad what the bill was going to be I guess. With bringing the dogs, we'd prob just rent a car and drive home if close enough until it could be fixed. Lets all hope we don't need to find out. -
Trip to the SW...
PGHFiend replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
That sounds like a fun trip and I'm impressed you'll be wheeling solo. I've never been out that way, save for a trip to Colorado on I-70 once. I'll be interested to hear about the trip- safe travels! -
This gives new meaning to bungee cords.

That is unbelievable! Reminds me of this! -

I stop by a few times a day myself but don't always have something to add. At any rate, Happy New Year to everyone and their families. Hope 2018 is your best yet! -
Just downloaded it the other day and it looks great so far. I like how it puts a no parking symbol on no go Wal-Mart's and such.

Maybe a New Rig Next Spring
PGHFiend replied to PGHFiend's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
Ok, I know how you feel about camping world, so I found another one closer to home, 5k more though.....and at another camping world! I have narrowed it down to the newest, most affordable rig that checks 90 percent of the boxes without taking a bath on new depreciation............ I think it's going to be used Grand Design 317rst! 2015 or 2016, if I can track down a used one. It is much harder to find a specific model used RV than you would think. I'm doing my homework at least. -

PGHFiend replied to PGHFiend's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
They dropped the price 1,000. I called and talked to the most clueless salesmen I've spoken to in a while. So far they had it advertised as having dual ac and it only has 1. I wish I could see it in person but it's a pretty good price and it's a model I've been looking for. I'm going to think about it for a day or two. -
Got my reservation! Popped up this morning and I grabbed it. Guess they let it slip......Guess now I need a camper!

PGHFiend replied to PGHFiend's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
I know, I know, but its a used unit and I'll probably never talk to them again. I'm going to keep looking and if they drop the price I'll make a move. -

I may have found a used 5er that fits the bill. Bad news is it's in St. Augustine 900 miles from me, double bad is its at a Camping World. Anyone have an experience with this particular dealer? -
I found one day available for the first night only. I wonder if I should book it so I have a start?
