RE: used vans in florida?
why not have your son buy it the first time & let you "borrow" it? why pay license/registration/etc. twice?

RE: Driving in Big Cities
those three cities should be a piece of cake as you can take interstates thru them or around them. I try to keep in the middle of three lanes if possible and if only in the right lane, be ready for slow downs at exits, etc.

RE: Recalculating
the location behind you makes sense to me. they are also useful if you are at a shopping center, etc., in town and want to locate the nearest gas station/store/etc. which may be ahead,behind,left,right of you.
I had one where it would give you a notice that a rest area was x miles ahead and it was on the other side of the interstate.

RE: Best TV Viewing options
DISH has a mobile system for RVs - pay in the months you are traveling. You will need to combine the box you get from DISH with a satellite antenna dish on your 5er or a portable unit that you set up outside when you use it. Obviously, in the rain it is better not to have to go outside to set up and aim the portable.
Dish to go (I think) is about $359 for an automatic portable dish.

RE: Consignment of your RV
If one chooses consignment of course you will pay someone...why is that a surprise for some?
The alternative is selling yourself where cost of ads is minimal and you have control of everything...including your time to get it done.
Choice is yours.
yep, obviously you can get more if you sell it yourself outright and if the right and willing buyer happens to show up at your door. but going on consignment removes some of the hassle for oneself.
My consignment dealer actually bought the unit from me and then sold it to the buyer at the time of the deal. Then when the buyer was getting it checked out it was discovered that I had evidently not adequately drained the water heater the fall before and the tank had split on the "dealer's" motor home. They requested that I pay for the tank and being honest and upright I agreed. they did supply free labor however. :)

RE: Mama got scammed
After we negotiated it to $20 I told him to take a hike but he posted bad feedback and Paypal put me on the slow access schedule (I had to wait for 2 weeks to use my funds). They took it off after my next positive feedback so now I get my money instantly. I think they overreacted for one bad feedback but it's their system and their rules.
Dave
and this is not "tying up your account" because? and what if no body came in with positive feedback?

RE: Mama got scammed
snip but their system is streamlined, convenient, and pretty safe to use if you take the time to look at your account and not just believe the email you received.
Dave
so if you aren't careful you can get in trouble? I have heard that they can tie up much/most/all of an account once you have given them access.

RE: Mama got scammed
if you must use PayPal, I would set up a separate small account with limited funds in it for that use only. then when they lock up your funds in a dispute, it will not really affect you.

RE: Mama got scammed
This scam had nothing to do with PAYPAL and PAYPAL didn't do anything wrong. PAYPAL can suck if you are a seller and get a transaction challenged. PAYPAL has straightened up their act in the last few years after they got sued, lost and had to pay back millions to people that got screwed by PAYPAL, including me. I am not defending PAYPAL but I don't like it when someone accuses anybody or anything falsely.
I am not accusing paypaL OF ANY wrongdoing in this case. but since a lot of folks here seemed eager to use them, think some review of their record is indicated. I for one, will never use paypal.

RE: Funeral Edict?
I'm cruising down the highway in semi-heavy traffic. I come up on a big interchange where two interstates merge and I find myself beside a long funeral procession and my lane is about to run out. I couldn't get around them. So I signaled and merged into their line so I could cross to another open lane. Well they were all seriously POed at me. My other options would have been to stop in the middle of a travel lane or pull off the highway altogether. Neither seemed like a safe idea under the circumstances. Thoughts?
If the OP felt his act was the only SAFE one, I'm with the OP. They'll be PO'd, but they'll get over it and everyone will make it home.
yep, the guy in the casket won't care.

RE: Tires, surge protector, oil questions
I was told by the dealer I need a surge protector...do I really?
Almost right, you need a multi function surge protector, $250-350, not the $90 thingy.
and I wouldn't be without one myself. and if you get a permanent mounted one be sure it has a bypass feature so you can still run lights, etc. when voltage is low.
