RE: Replacing dinette with table and chairs?
We pulled the dinette out of ours. For a small (32') motorhome, it had an enormous dinette. We replaced it with a wall-hung, drop-down table and eurochairs. The difference in the livability of the MH is tremendous! We now have great seating and we can both watch TV in comfort. The drop-down table is plenty for my DH and I and works great as a computer station.
So glad we did it and pulling the dinette was not hard at all. Left no damage to the floor but we did leave the bolts as they are hidden by the eurochairs.
Good luck.

Directv Question
We are seriously considering going from Directv to ATT Uverse in our home. We would have to keep basic Directv in our RV only. Are any of you paying for basic Directv in your RV only? If so, can I ask what is the fee? Thanks!

Shopping Tires in DFW Area
Looking for recommendations of local tire shops in the DFW area where you feel you got good service/prices on 22.5" tires. Seriously considering biting the bullet and coughing up the money! Jan

RE: Sony Back Up Camera Problems?
I understood that Winnebago got a bad batch of Sony cameras around 2004. Our camera was acting as you described and had to be replaced a couple of years ago. Got ours from RV Cams and it was a cinch to replace (sent the camera to Tim and he tested it for us). No more problems since. Yes, it was irritating to have to put out 3 or 4 hundred dollars on it when it was so new but, of course, out of warranty.

RE: Recent 3 Fatality 1-10 Florida
Our deepest sympathy goes to you and to the family of the friends so tragically lost. We do have the steer safe installed on our MH and have always been grateful for the steering control it provides going down the road. Now we know how much more grateful we should be. Jan

RE: looking at 2004 winnebago journey
We have the '04 32' Journey with the 300HP Cummins, 6 spd Allison transmission. Haven't had any trouble with the engine, but did have to replace the fuel lift pump last summer (I think they've had a run of bad pumps in that model). Cost: $750 installed. My DH changes the oil on the generator but prefers to pay our mechanic $200 to do the oil change and lube once a year on the engine. Also have had to replace the dash a/c compressor. Cost: $1200 installed.
As far as power on the 5.9 ISB, there are times we could use some extra (think steep inclines), but on the whole it does a great job for us. Good luck on your decision. Jan

RE: Any Discounts on WDW Ft Wilderness?
OK. I tried going through the disney special rates website--thought I was getting a few dollars off until I checked and found they were displaying normal rates. I tried calling the super-friendly guy on the reservation line so I could be the "squeaky wheel." After very nicely complaining that there were no "sale" prices for campers, he very nicely agreed that there should be insisted none were available. And no amount of gentle persuasion could convince him to give me a discount. I did save a few bucks by not getting the "premium campsite," but otherwise we're paying the $80 weekday, $83 weekend rate. They just have you over the barrel don't they? I'm sure seeing the grandkids enjoy themselves will be worth it at any cost. Thanks anyway all you who responded. Jan

Any Discounts on WDW Ft Wilderness?
I've searched and don't find anything on this subject. Does anyone know of any discounted rates that might be available for the campsites at Walt Disney World? Haven't been since 2002 and I was shocked at how much they've gone up! Took the kids last in 2002 and now the 2 grandkids are deemed old enough for the trip. We're super excited to show them the most magical place on earth! Since MawMaw and PawPaw are paying all we're looking for any savings we can get! Thanks, Jan

RE: Out of State New Motor Home Purchase
We also purchased out of state. On the scheduled delivery day, we arrived about 10:00 a.m., did our inspection for the next 3 hours, and made the call to the bank at 1:00 p.m. to give the ok for a prearranged wire transfer of funds. By 2:00 p.m., they had their money and all paperwork (including the MSO) was then given to us. By 3:00 p.m., we were driving out with our new motorhome. Good luck on your delivery. It sure is an exciting time. Enjoy your new rig. Jan

RE: Warped floor in Class A Motorhome
I would absolutely take it back to the factory. I haven't had any luck finding a dealer that would be qualified to fix something that involved. That's a problem that should be fixed right or else I'm afraid it's going to cause you lots of future problems. I wish you the best of luck getting it fixed to your satisfaction. Jan

RE: Water Dripping--Might be a stopped up condensation line?
It sounds like you have found the drain for the AC/ heat pump. Don't blow it out. Gently open it and clear any obstructions. I use a cotter pin puller to clean mine, but even the head end of a 16d nail will work.
Husband did as you suggested and got some gunk and some more water flow. We're looking for drain pan as other poster suggested to see if more problem exists there. Having a Journey yourself, do you know if we have a drain pain that needs to be cleaned?

RE: Water Dripping--Might be a stopped up condensation line?
Just a thought...
It's natural. Water may run off at any point of R.V.,depending on the direction of the lean of R.V..
Mine will also drip off on the sides..
I guess so. I just worry about water not going where it was intended to go and ruining something. All's well inside, no sign of water or leaking pipes. Thanks, Jan.

RE: DP Motorhome with Allison being Towed
I can tell you that we have been towed through our Coach Net policy and they put us on a flat bed. We weren't smart enough to request it, that's just what they sent. Don't know if they always do or that was just what was available. Jan

Water Dripping--Might be a stopped up condensation line?
Went out this weekend in the RV. Noticed water dripping in several places toward the right rear of the MH. Initially thought it had something to do with the water heater but as we watched it we noticed it only dripped when the a/c heat pump was running. We have a 2004 Winnebago Journey with basement air. We're thinking we possibly have a stopped up condensation line and the condensation is finding other areas to try to get out. Not sure where the condensation line is--nothing to see when we open up the bay door where the ac is but the metal fins which we try to clean periodically). My DH got under the MH and sees a rubber tube with a little "bladder" at the end of it. He suspects that might be the condensation line. He gently pushed the bladder open and some water did come out. Can anybody verify if that is the condensation line? We had our a/c guy tell us one time to clean the condensation line on our home unit by blowing compressed air from the end of the line towards the inside unit. Do y'all think we could blow compressed air in the end of the line we think is the condensation line for our MH a/c? Thanks, as always, for all the patient and helpful responses you all always have handy for us! Jan

RE: RV Storage in Arlington Texas
Before we built our own RV port, we used Kennedy RV & Boat Storage on S. Main in Mansfield. Great people, security gate entrance, wonderful paved drives, and covered storage (electricity extra). We were paying $90 at the time with electricity but I'm sure they've gone up since then. Best one I know about in our area. Good luck, Jan
