RE: Trailer rental
Years ago I did something similar-With a friend drove my F250 from So. Calif. to Md. Bought a good used enclosed trailer from a Dlr there-with a rear ramp and side entrance door-loaded it up with furniture, etc., pulled it back to So Calif. Unloaded it and sold the trailer-within a week-and actually made money on re-selling it.

RE: Is there any REAL quality out there?
If you look at 5-10 years old lightly used-should be able to find some good quality vehicles/rv's. And the bonus is- the majority of wrinkles should be ironed out.

RE: Recommended tools for a newbie
Something I hadn't seen mentioned is a tray of different amp fuses and needle nose pliers to get them in and out. Jumper cables, and electric tire air pump, a battery charger and at least 2 water pressure regulators, an tv antenna extension cable that goes from Rv. to campground site electric hook up, tv antenna hook up. A windshield/side window cover/sunshade to keep prying eyes/sun out. Good Luck and have fun.

RE: Weird sounds at night
You should get a portable air horn and a pellet pistol. We have a cabin in the Mtns. and a Class C. Have used both-mostly the air horn. Animal definitely don't like the air horns noise.

RE: Request Structural Change.
Northwood MFG. in Oregon makes Arctic Fox, Nash, etc. Should check them out-I know they make a Nash trailer camper with no slides. Also, I like the fact that they make their trailer and camper.

RE: Small ‘C’. Chev or Godzilla
We have a 2017 Forest River Forester 2251 SLE on a Chevy450 chassis with the 6.0 gas engine. Wanted to get the Chevy because of better leg room-particularly on passenger side. Also, read a lot of complaints about heat coming up thru floor or engine house-to a point where it was very uncomfortable with the Ford chassis. Really like the fact that my wife can and will drive it. Also, I can sit straight up in the overhead sleeping area. No complaints.

RE: Good Sam or KOA
We have Good Sam and KOA. Seem to use Good Sam quite a bit more. There are more G.S. sponsored campgrounds than KOA-in the U.S of A there are about 2500 G.S. campgrounds. If you are headed to Tucson-about 20 miles S on I#10-to Vail, Az. there is the Pima County Fairgrounds RV Campgrounds. Place is huge.

RE: Greenhorn driving from NY to Az
We are members of Good Sam and KOA. Good Sam sponsors about 2500 campgrounds throughout the U.S. Rate the campgrounds for security, cleanliness, amenities, etc. I think to join G.S. about 50.00 per year. At their recommended campgrounds-members get 10% discount. KOA is about the same-but not as many campgrounds. Well worth it.

RE: Help with trip planning from San Diego to San Francisco
If you can make the time-stop at Flying Flags RV Campground, in Buellton, Ca. and than visit Solvang, Ca.- a Danish village. Well worth the time. We always eat breakfast at Ellen's Cafe near the campground and get their Danish pancake breakfast. In Solvang-the homemade Danish pastry is to die for. This is always a definite must stop for us.

RE: We've come full circle back to a "C"
Years ago, we started tent camping with the kids. Than,
bought an Arctic Fox 5'er w/bunks and pretty much camped the W. coast sometimes w/kids-sometimes without. Kids grew up-we bought a larger Arctic Fox 5'vr and took it on trips-So. Ca. to Yukon Terr., Etc. Now we are seniors and have a 25ft. Class C w/Chevy 450 chassis and V-8 gas engine. We can just take the C for out for an afternoon, for a weekend, or for a trip and now my wife will drive. Has made camping a lot more enjoyable and easier for both of us.

RE: Need Assistance Before Check in
A few years ago we stayed at Mustang Hollow Campground-Mathis, Texas. Originally we planned for 1 night-ending up staying 4 nights. We had a site by/overlooking the Lake-it was 30 AMP/full hook up. They make and sell homemade pizza, at the office. The management was great-the sites were big with grass, trees, etc. Campground was super clean. If we were ever in the area again-would definitely head for that campground.

RE: looking to upgrade
Have you looked at Arctic Fox/Wolf Creek TC's made by Northwood Mfg., in Oregon. They have been around for years and made as a 4 seasons camper.

RE: In need of opinions, thank you
We have a 24ft. Forest River Forester Class C- LE-model 2251LE-with a Chevy 450 chassis and a 6.0 Chevy gas engine. Wanted to get the Chevy because we had read stories about the smaller footwell-passenger side- in the Fords. Also, a number of complaints of engine/exhaust heat coming up through the floorboard of the Ford chassis-mainly on the passenger side. Previously we had a 29 5T Arctic Fox 5th wheel-about 30ft.-towed by an F250 diesel. Love the C- my wife can/will drive it now. Easy to get around in-easy to park-it's totally self-contained-don't need a Toad-we just take the C wherever we need or want to go. Generally, we get 9-11 mpg

RE: Looking at class c questions on maintenance
We always take our Class C to our local MasterLube-for oil changes, lubes, etc. Their facility has a walk/work space underneath the vehicle. Our Class C is on a Chevy 4500 chassis with 6.0 gas engine-about 25 ft.
