    Karl

    On the new bulbs you show as replacements the connectors exit the side of the bulb fixture as opposed to the halogens out the top. Have you figured a way to use the new ones yet without a fixture modification?

    Thanks

    Inflation has affected pricing.

    Some of the things we do in life have little to do with common sense. Heck, I do own a sailboat and do not ask me how much money I have sunk into it (poor choice of words, I know) – go to http://www.bremerspeck.com

    We almost jumped . Mainly to establish Fla residency. Then did the math. Like pointed out. Impact tax? among others. Just a week ago ask some friends at Wilderness if they would like to do 3 month SW Usa Trip with us next year. They passed because they said they needed to use their lot. Or Maybe I smell bad! They bought before the crash and it has recovered in value to about 50% of their purchase price. Their taxes haven’t went down and the association fee keeps comming etc. We rent there by the month ($400per) for 2 months a year. Their association fee is $1440 per yr. One owner actually told me you would be a fool to buy. To much hidden cost. I really like the park! Now 5 yrs in same place I’m becoming Bored with the area. For What it’s worth. If I had the $ and it was a growing demand market maybe short term. Bob

    Bluewater was our choice for a 2 week stay several years ago. As many of you know FL weather is a crap roll during the winter In our case perfect the whole time at Bluewater. I’am with Tom on keeping the wheels rolling finding new spots as each location offers something different.

    We own a 2nd home at it’s a Prevost Marathon and offers us the ability to move when ever we like.

    We’ve towed a 2010 Ford Edge AWD for two years and it works perfectly. Tows four down in neutral with no issues. Weighs about 4200 lbs. A nice vehicle as a driver and a towed car.

    Done. I’m in with 50 amp hookup.

    If anyone else wants to do this the gal at FMCA has alerted the folks who will be assigning the sites we would like to park together so if you are crazy enough to park near Al, Tom or me let them know you are with the three of us. No guarantees you will be parked with us since she did indicate the 50 amp sites are not all in one spot but are scattered.

    Ronald,

    If we were honest with ourselves and looked at Prevost ownership with the same perspective as the business or financial decisions we made along the way to Prevost ownership none of us would likely own our coaches. None of our Prevost purchases makes sense. Dave Ramsey would likely have a conniption if a caller asked for advice about buying a Prevost.

    But I seriously doubt if any of our members regrets Prevost ownership and many among us have owned multiple coaches, indicating we place a very high value on the lifestyle. I think the same can be true of RV resort lot ownership (speaking in general terms). Whatever the costs, both the purchase price and the ongoing expenses there are many folks that want to own lots more than they want their money. I am not likely to own a lot because we like spending time at many different venues and we do not full time in our coach. But I sure can understand the many owners who do own lots and treat them as their full time home, or their special home away from home.

    In fact, at this resort, you would have to rent your lot for at least 118 nights because the park takes a 15% commission.

    Ace:

    Mine to was removed immediately. It now lives high in top of the bus barn. To properly check the vehicle before the dailey drive these things are a pain.

    ” The only folks who might not benefit might be seated coach converters whose coach does not have the level low system.“

    I didn’t realize this and since I have a converted seated coach I will open my invitation up to someone that it will Benefit more!

    Also after I added the link that was sent to me along with the iPhone app that was necessary, I still had a time logging in in which the end result was nada! With that said thanks for the offer anyway!

    You will not be able to log on the webinar until 10 minutes before the session.

    “Hector, would this cover the 1991 prevost coach? “

    There are two factors to consider in trying to answer the question and both would need some research. The first is if Prevost made significant changes between a 1991 and Hector’s 1995. I’m guessing here but I suspect the system logic is the same in that aux air pressure needs to be maintained in order to prevent shifting the two three port valves between the drive axle and tag (Hector will explain what I mean.) Short answer I think the systems are close enough so the seminar will apply.

    The second question however is if the converter made any changes. Probably not, but each owner does need to be aware of the potential. For example, Liberty owners are going to be looking at a system that has two less 3 port valves compared to their coaches because Liberty conversions have an automatic leveling feature that employs two additional valves. But even with differences like that the basic system operation and the concept remains the same and as a result the seminar is very beneficial.

    Don’t hesitate to sign up. The only folks who might not benefit might be seated coach converters whose coach does not have the level low system.
