Full Time RVing part 5

This write up will be about the big boys in the RV sizes from 20’ to 45’ and prices ranging from 30.000 to millions. You can buy one for just functionality or just for pleasure. You have two distinct models from Gasoline engine to Diesel Pusher. And in the more creative side they even have a toyhauler model. These RV’s are a large investment and maintaining them is essential. But when you get right down to it they are traveling homes. You can also tow a car or truck behind most of them. You can use a car dolly a flatbed trailer or a Blue Ox towing bar.

 List Price: $104,951

Sale Price:  $76,000

Class A 2016 Front Living Sleeps (5) 1 slides Fuel=Gas.

Class A Gas RV’s are very nice and amazingly very powerful, even with Gas engines. You get the right one you can even tow a pickup.

Now on to the Diesel Pushers, the big boys of the RV world.

Engine:

Cummins ISL turbocharged 450 HP engine 1,250 lb. ft. torque at 1,400 RPM

Slides:

4

Sleeps:

4 people

Fuel Type:

Diesel

Towing Capacity:

15,000 lbs

Don't Pay MSRP:

$482,406

No Haggle Price:

$324,112

Total Savings:

$158,294

Now the Class A Diesel Pusher is much more expensive, but for full time living it is the overall best concept. Still the one thing you have to remember is what is it that you need for traveling. So make a choice to stop by the many RV dealers and pick out what you would need. I wrote this to give a general idea on what is out there, when it comes right down to it there are many choices. Hope to see you on the road.

Full time Rving part4

     Today we will talk Toy Haulers. Even for full timers there is a type of RV for Bikers, four wheeler's and just work tools. Sometimes when you travel you do so to work. This is where a Toy Hauler will come in handy. They come in all ranges of sizes and styles. You can get Travel Trailers and 5^th Wheel RV’s at various prices. The average range is $15,000 and up. You get Luxury and functionality as well. Lets start with Travel Trailer version first.

Sale Price:  $18,000 Travel Trailer Toyhauler

 2016 Toyhauler Sleeps 4, 33’ long with 10’Garage.  This is a Heartland Model. 5300lbs. This is a great model for two on a trip or as a full time model.

Now for the full timer who needs more room this is where you would require a larger 5^th wheel model. They will also range in price from the mid-20s to 100,000 and up. Above is an example of the 5^th wheel model.

Sale Price:  $65,000

Fifth-Wheel 2014 Toyhauler Sleeps 7, has 3 slides 38’long and a Garage that is 12’ and weighs 15,864 lbs

These types of RV’s can get quit expensive depending on the model you choose. There is a company out of Missouri that builds them to your design called Space Craft. A friend of mine had one built to his own inside layout and wiring design. 5^th wheel toy haulers come in handy when you need a much bigger area to carry more stuff.

     No matter which one you choose it still comes down to a personal choice. You cannot go wrong with this type of RV because you have a place to live and a garage with you as well. So go to your local RV dealer and check one out.

See ya. Maybe on the road. Who knows.

Full Time RVing Part 3 

     After the first two this one will be more about really full timing on the road. The subject of space seems to always come up on the issue of buying your first full time RV. The all purpose Idea would be to go with a 5th Wheel RV. You only have the RV and the Truck to worry about. First off you will want a Truck that can handle a 5th Wheel. Me personally I would not go with a 1/2 ton pickup, unless you are pulling an Ultra lite 5th Wheel. Remember to stay within the GVWR set by the factory. 3/4 ton to 1 ton pickups are much better at pulling Ultra lite or larger RV's. You will have to remember that some come with 6' beds and some come with 8' beds, the reason I mention this is sometimes you will have with to use a sliding Hitch in 6' beds but not in the 8' beds. The same principle applies to the GVWR with 5th Wheels as it does with Travel Trailers. If the Manufacture states the GVWR is 22,000 lbs, that is the total including the truck. Now some people use turners to up that performance, but me personally I do not. It really comes down to a personal choice. 

      Now to the types of 5th Wheels:

Small to medium size. Prices fro 18,000 to 30.000 and ranging from 28ft to 32ft. 

Others ranging from 32ft to 45ft. Prices range from the mid 20s to the upper 80s.

The one thing that I like about 5th Wheels over Travel Trailers is the room you gain and the ease of hooking one up. They tend to pull much easier and even the big ones are easier to put into small spaces. Because you will find some parks have small spaces to put them. But these types of RVs come with everything you can imagine. You can get Residential Refrigerators and washers and dryers, and even in some a dish washer. My advice is to do the research on exactly what you are looking for because it is important to get the options at first. Because if you wait and get the add ons later they will cost much more. Another thing to remember is the 5th Wheel Hitch, if anything get one rated for 15,000lbs or better. You can never have to much Hitch. 

I was going to go in and describe class A RVs but I will do that in the next write up. But as I said before go to your local dealer or a boat and RV show in your area and you will get a better Idea of what to look for.

Full Time RVing Part 2

     Expanding on the premise of RVing full time. I have come across a boat load of articles and blogs and magazines as well. But I have found out that the experience is nothing like what you read. You tend to see more negative articles from people who have a hard time adapting to the lifestyle. It is quite a change to the lifestyle of the everyday norm. Most people will have that scare right off the bat of “what am I doing?” most will adapt very quickly to the process. What I mean about adapting I mean downsizing all the stuff you do in life. You will leave a smaller footprint on your soundings. But in the long run you will also relieve a great amount of stress as well. The one thing that you will have to remember is you cannot carry all your worldly belongings and excess stuff with you and that in-turn takes even more stress off of you. The more stress you relieve the better you will feel.

     Like I said my first write up, you will have to pick an RV to start with. So let’s start with the pros and cons of each class. Travel Trailer Class: First off for long term travel you will want to pick one with the correct amount of room and the correct amount of storage. (Listen to your wife) Happy wife happy life. Most if not all your major brands today they all come with slide outs. This is a great feature for adding room to the overall area of the trailer. They can also range in sizes from 19’ to 30’ or even larger. They can also range from 4000lbs to around 15.000 lbs. depending on your pulling capacity. Half ton trucks should stay at their GVWR as per the factory standards. Example: If your factory standard is 12.500 lbs. and your truck weighs 7000 lbs. the trailer should not exceed 8000 lbs. And another great feature is sway bars which I highly recommend, because when you are going down the highway it will help maintain a stable ride and will distribute the weight according. Some of the most important things to understand is that everything is done in smaller amounts, you know cloths, jewelry you know those things we always worry about. Smaller amounts mean smaller worry.    Price on this one is around 9000.00. 21ft about 3000lbs.

31ft Wildwood and weight around 6000lbs. and an average price of 18,000 to 21,000.

I suggest you find your local RV Dealer or Camping World to find the right Travel Trailer for you.

My next write up will be on 5^th wheels and Class A RV’s.

RV Living Full time

     You know for years now I have contemplated doing this, RV living. Back in 2010 me and my wife Ashley started full time traveling and working. I have found it to be a refreshing way to live. You meet some of the most extraordinary people. You meet people from all walks of life. And I guess that is why I enjoy it so much. I have made friends from all over the world, learn their customs and also learn their History and Language. I takes me back when you can go anywhere in the United States and you meet people from all walks of life. What an amazing country we live in.

     When it comes to your first RV make sure that you know what you are going to use it for. If it is for vacations lasting 2 weeks out of the year I would not go out of the way and spend 30 to 40 thousand dollars buying something that is only used slightly. There are a multitude of different RV's to choose from. Travel Trailers, that is your basic model and is pulled with a bumper hitch. 5Th Wheels, this is a much larger RV using a larger hitch in the bed of the pickup. Class A's are very popular, They come in gas or diesel. And the range and in sizes of 22' to about 45'. You also have Class B's, smaller in overall size, and much more efficient, they also range in size 22' to 32'. Then you have the Class C's They as well are very efficient and range in size from 22' to 40'. 

      There is really no way you can start this type of adventure without a little experimenting. We started with a class C, about 25'. But in the grand scheme of things it was very small and really good for only weekend travel. Then we went to a 30' Travel Trailer. It was much larger, but a bit more difficult to hook up and get it in some parks. Now we have traded up to a 32' 5th Wheel. Much more space and tons of storage. The biggest difference is the slide outs that come on RV's they add a great deal more room. I guess the reason for writing this is simple. We lived in a very large house with pools and huge yards. But it also came with a hell of a payment as well. Overall with the house payment and all the rest it added up to around 3000.00 a month. So we sold the house and  have tried Full Time RVing. I have saved more money in the last 6 years than in a lifetime of living any other way. Think about it the average RV Park charges 300.00 to 500. a month and that includes TV and most of the places the WIFI as well. Pretty much all your utilities are covered by this monthly payment.  And if you have to go out and finance an RV the payments are around 150,00 a month to about Thousand a month. 

      Everyone should seek solace in something. I do so by choosing to travel full time. It is cheaper and no two days are the same. So go out and do some research on this and maybe we will see you on the road.

More on Trump Chaos

     I am still having trouble with all that went on last night. I keep hearing people blame racism, I hear other politicians blaming Trumps speeches. What this really boils down to is, Stupidity. Anyone with half a brain could see what is going on here. The big dog Republicans go to an Island in their private jets talking about how they might lose control over their minions of this country. You hear about all these stories about Trump being racist, but cannot provide one incident where he was. But I also hear Sanders and Hillary saying we need to bring this country together. Who was in charge when it fell apart? Oh that's right Obama! But it could not have been his fault, why? because he is somehow color blind. He never chooses sides right? Wrong. This is a play for the big money. Both parties are afraid of losing power, and they will stop at nothing at getting their control back and all you little minions back on the feed wagon. They do this by playing on the ignorance of the popular to do just that. 

     Let's see: Already this year we have seen Black Lives Matter groups calling on the death and destruction of anyone but them. The black panthers have been on major news outlets calling on the death of white babies. U.S, Military Personal have been instructed on white privilege. Cops have been killed and harmed because it is said by BLM that they are all racist. Barack's wife has said that the problem with America is White People. (Tuskegee college)  

Now think about this really hard and close your eyes and picture that this has all come from White people doing this, and that all the groups mentioned here are all white. And that a white first lady says the same in reverse. How do you think this would go over?

     See the problem is not about race or gender it is about the money. Follow the money and you will find the people responsible for the problem. All of this Barack and you stand back and say nothing. Is it because you benefit the most from this? We know who does not benefit from all this shit and it is the American People. We have been pulled into the racist circle of hell because people just do not know any better. This will not end well for anyone.

Trump Chaos

Tonight I have finally seen the true nature of the stupidity of this country. But the one thing I will say is I will fight to my last breath for his right to say it. That being said, every solider that has fought and served this country does the same thing on a daily basis, they fight for those who have the God given right to speak without violence. But last night gave our country a black eye. It showed the world how far we have fallen as a nation of respect for our freedoms we claim to cherish so much. We have become a nation of bullies and and most of all ignorant, ignorant people. The people that started all of this bullshit will be exposed in the media, you know the ones that financed all those protesters. And if you watched it close enough you seen blacks fighting whites and others fighting others and when asked why they were doing it, they had no answer other than that glorified word Racism. You know the word people with limited intelligence  use because they have no argument in the first place. Now most will think I am a Trump supporter, but I have not seen one candidate yet say anything I want to hear. So I have no bias here. No dog in the fight. But the process has to play itself out. It would seem to me by the voting turn out that whatever Trump is saying a very large group of Americans agree with him. 

I am really dishearten by what I have seen. The first signs of a country imploding in on itself is exactly what you are seeing now. Whiny insufferable little entitled airheads, who could not argue their way out of a paper bag standing on the grand stage explaining their theories of why they are mad with not one single bit of of knowledge to their own argument.  We live in an era where violence against freedom of speech is called on by the very ones who do not want you stepping on their toes when they speak. Colleges have now become breeding grounds for the Ignorant understanding of what it is like to be an American. 

America is authoring it's own destruction and people are setting back and watching it happen. Why might you ask? Well it is because it has not impinged on their daily lives yet. But it will soon. And I figure by then it will be too late to speak out, the deed is done and now you will have to live with the outcome. 

Some very good Quotes:

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace. Martin Luther King, Jr.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. George Washington


These are quotes by very enlightened people and great men. Those very men that have done so much to create a nation  like no other. The United States was once a country serving as one people. Now we have been separated into many. (A House Decided Will Not Stand)

State of the Presidency.

     I watched what some people consider a debate last night. And now I am even more concerned for our country. I honestly cannot make sense of any of them, on either side Democrat or Republican. The top of the Democratic Party Hillary will likely go to Prison barring some miracle. That can be said about the other side as well. All promises and no substance. The future of our country is at stake and Mitt Romney "a 2 time loser comes out and speaks" and muddies the water even more. This whole Presidential cycle has been nothing more than a joke. Not one person running on either side has the fortitude to become President. This whole race has become somewhat of a playground like atmosphere, talking about hands and etc. None of which has anything to do with running a country. 

     The job of the President is to serve the people not themselves. The shocking thing to me is the total lack of knowledge surrounding this whole race. You ask anyone on either side why they are voting for their candidate and the answers will make your jaw drop. The very lack of knowledge is staggering, (and that is on both sides). You have to really thank all those Progressive teachers who have done their job of dumbing down our children. They have been taught everything but civics. 

     History shows that great Democracies have very seldom lasted longer than 200 years, Why? Because they tend to devour themselves in the process. It's called Human greed and Power. I do not believe this country will survive this. Why? Because if this is the best we have to offer the American People to run and protect the rights of us all, we are done. For the first time in my life I can see the vision of a fallen and broken country divided by Race, Gender, Political divisions, Religious Divisions, and a country that has no border is not a Country. 


The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
