i've been busy and haven't posted in a while....

here's some of the stuff i've been doing.
we've got 3 rent houses and 2 of them were trashed, we've hired a new property manager and they promise to find better renters and help us repair 2 of the houses, so that we can get them back on the rental market.

after the first motorhome trip a few small changes needed to be made in the moho.
warranty item on the back A/C was fixed by the dealer.
separate satellite tv receivers have been added, so that wifey can watch whatever her heart desires, a new switching box allows local tv, sat tv, cable tv, and DVDs.

also i've added a cool product called equal to the tires, it's a polymer, something like balancing beads.... it's easy to install, install cost was 7.50 per tire, product costs was 12.50 per tire...... this stuff is awesome for heavier vehicles because it balances everything dynamically and at all speeds... we had a little vibration in the back bedroom and this product smoothed it out perfectly and it was cheap!

we've added sprint broad band to my son's laptop and now we can use the internet going down the highway....

we're at a state camp ground now and i'm using my sprint connection....

also i found out something else this moho is good for, if you're at a campground that has only 30 amp service, you can still camp very comfy in this moho...

BTW,
early this morning, i got lucky!

 

What did you do catch a big fish

....

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

we've used our motorhome about 6 times since purchasing it.

and we still are new to RVing, however i gotta say that so far my experiences have been just what we wanted with the moho..... wifey's arthritis has not been a problem and she can travel without any extra pain in the moho. the only advantage the moho has is that wife and can cook and use the rest room while we're rolling, son can watch TV, play video games and sleep in a bed while we're in route....

also i have to mention that the RVs of every place we've stayed were 80 to 90 percent straight pulls and 5th wheels.... clearly straight pulls and 5th wheels are the best bang for the buck.....

 

We traded in our low mileage 2008 on a new tag axle 2009... Don't have good pics of it yet but will have soon.
