RE: Reg MH in another state
You are going to have to look into a Montana LLC or changing your primary residence. To change your primary residence you will either have to (1) move to the state where you want to be registered or (2) Live in your motorhome in California so it becomes your primary residence providing you actually do drive it out of state once in awhile. Then you can register the motorhome in another state.
You could also buy a tin shack or old mobile home in another state and claim that is your primary residence and the house in California is your secondary residence. I am not sure how the law could keep track of where you actually are most of the time, but if they ever did, the fines would be rolling in.
You cant just register something in any state you like, otherwise one state would have 100% of the cars on the road.

RE: Class A - Motorhome Resort in Sevierville, Tennessee
The pics look nice, except in picture #2 you can see "BillyBobs" single wide behind the hedge, But no pets please...LOL We are upscale...
Sorry can't resist.
LOL, I had to go back and look at the picture. You will pay all this money and you will still not be able to escape Billy Bob. Most likely in the summer he will be flying the confederate flag above the fence, listening to Gretchen Wilson at top volume, tending to his herd of pit bulls barking and yelling at his old lady.
The best part is, there is not one thing the people at this park can do about it, lololol

RE: Holiday Bowl - San Diego RV Resorts
I would not be looking so fast. If Oklahoma loses to Missouri, then Texas Tech with 11-1 and wins over 4 top 25 teams would get the crappy Holiday Bowl and OK State would get the SUN Bowl or the Gallery Furniture.com bowl or something even more embarrassing.
The BCS is unreal. Enjoy watching Cincinnati vs Boston College in a BCS bowl.

RE: Another one bites the dust!
I have doubts that NU-WA will be back. I have no knowledge of the company financials, but it would seem to me that a company with no set date to start up manufacturing again would turn potential buyers off.
Would you buy a new RV or car if the company openly stated that they may or may not start production again? The RV's that NU-WA has on dealers lots will sell at a deeper discount because of this news. No new orders will be placed because potential buyers do not know if/when their order would ever be fulfilled.
I have never heard of a company "staying open for warranty work." Would this not put the company in an even deeper hole and lose the owners even more money? I have never seen a business that is not in business to make money, but rather lose it.
I also have never heard of entirely closing a plant. I have heard of slowing the line, workers working reduced hours, workers taking extended vacation, workers working for less money, etc, but who would stay working at a place that has no ETA for opening for business again?
This is PR at its finest.

RE: Propane on or off?
1 in 80? 1 in 1,000,000? I don't wanna' be 1 in any number---or near anyone who doesn't give a rat's.
STUPID is the word for taking that kinda' risk. And IGNORANT is the word for choosing to ignor a very sensible law.
Sorry, I don't keep stats or copies or links to every news report I've ever seen. But the relevance of same has stuck with me.
J
I guess you are stupid then, since you continue drive on the road everyday and walk down the street and through parking lots, even though there is a chance of death significantly higher that fueling with the propane going 15-40 feet behind you.
I have another provable statistic that you will enjoy. You have a 1 in 1 chance of dying. There is no escape.

RE: Propane on or off?
The risk is probably more like 1 in 1000000. How many people do you actually know first hand (not a friend of a friend of a friend) who has blown up the gas station while fueling?
Now, how many people do you know that have died in a car accident. That's right, 1 in 80 people will DIE in a car accident. Better stay off the road.
Better not walk the sidewalks or in a parking lot either, the chances of death are about 1 in 500 that you will die from being struck by a car.
I am not sure about you guys, but my fridge is not located near the gas tank on my truck. I cannot see fuel vapors traveling in enough quantity 15 feet directly back to my fridge, then rising up, then going in my fridge vent. It's not going to happen if you are fueling up anywhere but an enclosed garage.
I would too like to see of a news story of this happening.

RE: Fleetwood leaving Mexico???
You can't use debt to expand indefinitely because the good times will end sooner or later.
Precisely. Perfect example is home equity loans. Adding debt to debt is never a good idea.
Would you not say that the government is at fault then by encouraging companies to take on debt due to the tax shield that debt financing offers that equity financing does not?
I still do not see how your "CEO Theory" works. When times are good, stay small, then when times are bad (like now) you have still lost 60% of your already small sales. You will still have to layoff, slow the already slow assembly line, etc
You may not have to layoff as many people and close as many factories as a larger company, but the larger company is also bigger.
Again, there is no squeezing blood from a turnip. If people are not buying, they are not buying, no matter if your company is big, small, medium sized, run by wild monkeys, the Amish, the Pope, the Mob etc.
If people do not have the money, they do not have the money. Simple as that.
RV companies both large, small, and medium sized have failed. The common denominator is that people have stopped buying.

RE: Fleetwood leaving Mexico???
Eldon Smith, the current CEO was originally hired and trained by John Creen, the founder of Fleetwood. If Eldon would have followed John's business plan and examples the company would not be facing the chopping block today.
LOL, whatever.
I guess the financial troubles or closings of National RV, Sunline, Teton, Nu-Wa, Bigfoot, Alfa, Western RV, Pilgrim, Snowriver, Ameri-Camp, Weekend Warrior, Travel Supreme, King of the Road, Extreme RV, etc etc are just a fluke and must have been caused by their CEO too. Market Conditions and a dramatic reduction in demand have nothing to do with it I guess.
I have never been able to squeeze blood out of a turnip.
I am sure this comment will be deleted shortly.

RE: Football Stadium Parking ...
Don't know if you are interested in any college football, but the parking is most of the time free to low cost and the atmosphere is better than pro because the players are not making 500,000 a game no matter if they perform or not.

RE: Future without NEW Pick-Up Trucks?
I thought I read where Mahindra from India will be introducing a diesel crew cab truck soon. I think I remember it had a 4 cyl diesel in it.
I doubt the days of the big truck are done, but I think that the days of gloating about how fast your truck can get to the top of the mountain with an RV in tow are over. As long as you get to the top in a reasonable time frame, I will be happy.

RE: College football - week 13
I go to Texas Tech and had high hopes for this game, but alas it was not to be. They at least need to get the score closer and lose respectably.
There are just too many top 10 teams to go through in the Big 12 south and SEC. I now hope Alabama remains unbeaten to get into the championship game because they must play decent teams to have a shot.
It could be lots worse though then getting 10 wins and getting blown out on the 11th game.

RE: 09 F-150 sway control
If that video was really testing the trucks equally, I am shocked at the video of the Tundra doing the "river bottom" test.
I see Tundra's with truck campers in their beds all the time, but can you imagine a truck camper in the bed of the Tundra while doing that test? It would rip the bed clean off.

RE: Bigfoot closes
I cannot see our economy pulling out of this for a long while.
I am in College now and the average student will start work (If they are lucky enough to find a job at all) with $20,000 in Student Loan Debt, and $5000 in Credit Card Debt. I know some people who have $75,000 or more of student loan debt.
This combined with wages and average starting salaries starting to decrease instead of increase and you can see the snowball effect.
The most likely scenario for a college student now is that he/she has no way of paying back their student debts because there are little to no jobs to be found.
The creditors and the government lose money and therefore will not lend it to future students and that snowballs again.
I cannot see any way to break out of this death spiral. The government throwing money at everything causing inflation to spiral out of control will not do it.

RE: Mac laptop - upgrade from USB 1.1 to 2.0?
So if the G4 was so great why did they switch? Why are they not using it now. It WAS a good processor, just like the 286 was. It is no longer. Applications and their demands have become faster. I am being unhelpful because I advised the OP to check their computer specifications before buying all this stuff that people are telling them to buy? Guess I will let the experts advise since I am stupid and only support maybe 150 PC's, A few macs, and one Ubuntu Linux computer at work.
Just because I do not accept Steve Jobs as Messiah and covet everything which he touches does not equate to being wrong. More likely you have the rose colored glasses.
I guess next time I will let the "so called experts" on here recommend someone spend a whole bunch of money and then find out that they cannot use it.
The USB TV tuners I am finding on the internet recommend a Dual G5 or an Intel CPU to record television and a G4 minimum G5 recommended to just watch TV.
Just wait until they plug the TV tuner into their TV antenna at home and the processor chokes from the 720P and 1080P content that is now broadcast over the airwaves.
Dayvidd: I am not sure how Creeper is "right" since I am the one that said what you wrote in your post. Anyway, I can run Mac OSX, Linux, and Windows on my PC just like you can on your Mac. Don't believe me? Google Hackintosh. I played around with it a couple months ago. It has a few quirks, but works well.

RE: Mac laptop - upgrade from USB 1.1 to 2.0?
Ok, Creeper, since you always need to feel the need to correct me.
I am sure there was a time when the G4 was fast. I am also sure that there was a time when a 286, 386, Pentium 1, 2, Celeron, 3, 4, 4HT, Dual Core , Athlon XP, Duron, Sempron, 64, , etc were fast.
Difference is, these processors were phased out when faster models became available. Apple was still using the same G4 architecture which was introduced in 1999 in 2005 in its laptops, competing with Intel and AMD 64 Bit processors and early Dual Cores.
If the G4 was so great, why did they not push the clock speed over 1.33 GHZ later in its life to keep up with a PC processor. Most likely because it was not stable at that clockspeed. They could not keep it cool. The G5 somewhat competed with the equivalent PC processors, but a a temp way to hot to put in a laptop.
Thus the switch to Intel.
In 1999, the G4 may have been comparable to the equivalent PC processor, but not 6 years later. I am sure the Intel 286 was once a government used processor too, but times have changed.

RE: Mac laptop - upgrade from USB 1.1 to 2.0?
Even if you get a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card, are you sure that a G4 processor in a 5 year old laptop will be able to keep up with the processing needed to watch TV on your computer.
G4 processors were not known for their speed and cool operation, which is why Apple switched to Intel processors.

RE: How much is 5G on wireless internet?
If you use the internet like it is still 1999 and you are on Dial UP, 5 GB per month will be fine. If you like to Watch Youtube Videos, Netflix, use limewire or bittorrent, upload 200 pictures to Walmart to have digitally printed, video conference via MSN, play with Linux, etc then 5 GB will be woefully inadequate.
I am not sure how Verizon thinks I will be able to download 74,000 Word Documents in 5 GB. I regularly work on 70-100 MB word and excel documents for school. That would only be 50 files assuming I did nothing else. Again, it is not 1999 anymore like the wireless carriers think it is.
I have an ATT aircard with a 5GB "softcap" (I signed up before the 5 GB limit was put in place). I have decided that I will download whatever I want to within reason, a 5gb cap is not going to stop me. If ATT wants to cancel me, I will sign up with a WISP, and I will take our 300 per month cell phone bill somewhere else.
