Who here is familiar with Coach House or Phoenix Cruiser?

There has been a lot of discussion on this forum about Thor's poor quality and how that is reflected throughout the entire RV community. Has anyone on this forum had first hand experience with...

With one more day to go, this was a long one.

We left the Granite City, IL KOA at about 8AM and after a quick bite at Hardee's (got to have my bacon bisquits) we got on the road. The highway system while complex was easy to follow with my new...

My wife and I left the Salina KOA this morning at 7am and continued East on I-70. Conditions were excellent. No wind, smooth road, and the RV was humming right along at 60-65mph. Conditions...

I think that may have some impact. The altitude from Cody to Cheyenne never exceeded ~6000', and both Cheyenne and Cody are a mile high. Another factor may be the amount of Ethanol is in the fuel. ...
