RE: Winterize in Austin?
Thank you for all the great information! Given my situation...parked outside, no plug in, our of town for several weeks....winterizing will be the safest thing to do. I will just put it off for a couple weeks and maybe squeeze in another camping trip! Thanks....

Winterize in Austin?
I have a 03 Roadtrek V and will be in Austin TX for the winter. The RT will be parked outside and not plugged in. While I understand about HOW, I am really confused about WHEN to winterize. In Austin the AVERAGE cold temp is 42 in Dec, 40 in Jan, and 44 in Feb. Based on those numbers it doesn't seem necessary, but I know it often freezes here too, especially when that cold air drops down from Rockies.
Can anyone offer guidelines to help me determine if it's necessary to winterize my rig?

RE: Overnight Camping in Motel Parking Lot
Hi, I'm a bit late posting to this thread, but just returned from a 10 day road trip in OR where we did just this. We planned to motel and/or camp for nine nights. When we checked into motels we told them we had two vehicles, never a problem. The first and only difficulty was the heat wave that moved into the northwest. No hook-ups meant no air, and certainly no gen in motel parking lots. So for two nights I rented a room of my own. It wouldn't be much of a problem to keep warm in cold weather, but possible hot weather is something to consider!

Ladder Bike Rack for RT ?
Just finished reading the recent thread about bikes and "Bs', and was interested to note no mention of ladder bike racks. Because I will be taking along just one bike I have been thinking this type would be a quick and easy solution. Of course, this depends on actually having a ladder! Which I don't at this point. Does anyone have a ladder AND use a ladder bike rack?

RE: Sacrifice-able Items In Your 'B'
I am still learning what I really use....but for starters the TV went to my nephews, and into storage went the cabinet behind the driver's seat, the sink liner, the windshield cover, the wings from the little table, (the big table stays as my bed), the short table leg, and some other odds and ends that I can't remember right now.
My vices are books and maps...the overhead cabinet is my library...and I really MUST not buy anymore rv books!
This is interesting to hear what people value for their adventures.....

Run gen while on road?
I read lots of old threads and have seen a couple references to using the generator for AC while on road. What are the advantages to this?
Do you use the gen for other things too? What are the steps for this process? Thanks for sharing your experience with a newbie!

RE: new to Class B and Road Trek
My RT is new to me too! The FAQ section at the beginning of the B Forum was a great help. It's kind of long but full of useful information for stocking and organizing. Have fun!

RE: Running A Business From Your 'B'
This is interesting topic, hope more people chime in...
I'm a massage therapist and have considered carrying my "chair" along in RT (no room for table!). Is there a market for 15-minute seated massage within the camping/rving community?
Also, on long trips I will bring my sewing machine, I create(and sell) "twirly" dresses for toddlers.
Another idea.....sharpening knives. Not for me, but I think a good one for a bit of extra spending money.

My new rig.....
....is parked in my yard! It's a beautiful 2003 Roadtrek 190V! I've been seriously shopping for several months and finally came across the perfect RT. I am very excited about stocking it with all my camping stuff. Also will soon shop for fabric to replace the cushions on the bed. But not before planning a camping trip. It's still alittle chilly at night in Central CA, but can't wait to get out!

Newbie seeking help.....
Hello all, I'm shopping for a Class B and am learning from all the posts. So far I have been on the Net comparing floor plans, lengths, and of course, price! And that leads me to my question.....several sites quote "dealer invoice".....does that mean there is no room for dealing OR is that still an option? Also on several sites I have seen "make an offer". That leaves me so in the dark. I have noticed that used units are approaching the cost of new 2007s and even 2008s, especially if it is possible to bring down from "dealer invoice"! ANY insight will be very much appreciated! Di
