Does this give you the ability to be “hard wired” on your computer for work?

I know a diesel pusher is stronger but it is more expensive to maintain and a gasoline i myself can work on them but they both have pros and cons.

Can never go wrong with a Toyo! What are ya runnin 154s?

I NEED MORE INFO ON JOBS FOR CAMPERS

“The bottom line comes down to money”. I think the bottom line comes down to safety.

I am looking to get a bike rack for our travel trailer to haul one that tire e-bike and a regular mountain bike which one should I put on first closer to the trailer I am thinking probably the E bike, but I’m not sure

Thanks for this info! Can you do workamping jobs while living in a Prius, or do most require an RV?

When buying a SIM card, am I purchasing a SIM card for a mobile plan? I've seen where T-Mobile is advertising plans for a mobile phone or tablet/hotspot plans. Which one do I purchase?

You sound very educated. You sound like retired at, 45. With a wad of cash in the bank. Then you must be Jewish? You are not filled with tattoos. And you sound strangely, educated. So you are a retired lawyer? That wanted to get out of the rat race early. I understand fully. I was in Broadcasting for many decades. Many times. Watching you jokers in the courtroom. But I digress. Yes it's a clear sign. You are relaxed. Educated. Calm. Jewish. Retired early. Have no, stupid tattoos. And you seem to be mindful. What the hell is wrong with you man? Don't you know you are dealing with, simple, hillbillies? You think you're going to save the world? What are you Jewish? Like me with a Motorhome? Do you realize what outcasts we are? Where do you walk on Fridays and Saturdays? To the lake? Of course. There are no Chinese restaurants around. What the hell are we going to do? I'm no good at fixing my own Chinese food I'm Jewish! I can fix burgers, chili, spaghetti and sushi. And none of that is kosher! So what the hell are we going to do? There's many things different about a diesel pusher motorhome and you are Jewish. There just is. Ha ha. Like when they bang on your door early Sunday morning. To attend their, Hobo Church Service. Outside of Freddie's motorhome. Yeah but I didn't get to sleep until after 5 AM! And they want me to do the lights and sound. And I was still sleeping! Dammit all! It's almost impossible to be Jewish with a Diesel Pusher Motor home. But I keep trying. Even on Fridays and Saturdays. I thought we were supposed to rest on Sundays? No? Apparently not. Not with a Motorhome. Some folks use their air horns to reproduce church bells. I DON'T THINK SO AT? I'M TRYING TO SLEEP! AFTER A HEAVY FRIDAY NIGHT OF PARTYING SMOKING DRINKING. SHEESH! It's always something on the road. I mean. You know. It's like that. At, Mercedes and John's place of the, RV Odd Couple, TH-cam channel. You know it is. As they are a lovely couple with the campground. And have their, RV Church on-site. It's not a big campground. And they like to praise Jesus. All of the time. And I tip my, yarmulke to them. On Friday and Saturday nights. As I play in a, Yarmulke Rock Band. And we go, late on Saturday night. There is something about BLM, Dispersed Camping. It looks like the promised land. I think I'll go. For about 7 months. Then it's off to the beach for the next, 5! Yeah doggie! I would drive my RV Motorhome. To a tropical South Pacific island if I could. And stay there. But it's expensive to get a motorhome there. So I shall just stay on dispersed BLM camping. And pretend I am in the promised land. As long as I pay my yearly dues. To live in the promised land. Since I no longer pay any taxes. On Social Security only income. Of a miniscule amount. You know how it goes? If you didn't retire a millionaire. I certainly did not. Not by a longshot. I ended up on the wrong side of the eightball. Broke. It happens. When you try to support a big recording studio for years. Decades. And it all came crashing down with a Pandemic. I mean what the hell? Work towards something for over 40 years. And something you can't even see stops it. Just like that. After decades. RemyRAD

Wow, Jim and Karen, I have been enjoying your videos. I matter fact I’ve been looking through the Internet at older for travel class RVs. I’m trying to find between 32 and 34 so I have just enough room to maybe put a small car on the back end, in California using my regular drivers license I can haul up to 40 feet. It’s either that or I have to go back and hit the Books and get my noncommercial drivers license which I’ll probably will end up doing eventually. Your videos are informative and I’ve enjoyed both of you talking on the channel. I look forward to your next video coming soon. I have subscribed to you and I hope that your past the 10,000 mark and that you’re making many more videos soon. I am retired at 72. My wife is 68 and we’re hoping to do something fun in our golden years.

Thanks for sharing

This is a helpful vid for new shoppers of pushers. Re chassis, you said "Freightliner or Roadmaster. Roadmaster is Monaco's in-house custom chassis. You probably meant Freightliner or Spartan which were the two dominant chassis for coach builders back in the early 2000's. Personally, today, I would only purchase an older coach from 2001 to 2010 (sans DEF of course) from any of these in no particular order. Monaco (Beaver), Country Coach, Foretravel or Holiday Rambler. What is my order of priority? 1 Foretravel, 2 Monaco, 3 Country Coach, 4 Holiday Rambler. This is based on many factors but these are my choices. Current owner of Beaver Marquis Tourmaline. Hope this helps!

Outstanding information thank you

I have a bike rack but it doesn't have a name Brent on it. Anywhere that I could see will who makes it. I bought it from a bike dealer but it was already out of o the box

Newell is the cream of the crop. They build their own chassis’s from the ground up and everything in between.

This isn't a review of FMCA. This is a review of the vendors. How many vendors are in the Wyoming area? Really, man.

Thank you for the video, this was very i formative and helpful

Very informative video it’s really helpful in my search for a good motorhome thank you

the funnay part is i would take the old stuff over the new stuff any day of the week !!! nothin like a 1995 to 2005 diesel pusher man take it from a guy whos been living in an rv since 1981 and was a tank mechanic since 1977 trust me i know my stuff.

Amazing, the number one problem to avoid that can cancel your trip for months is yet ANOTHER problem caused by the government.

Great video. You are so clear and just easy so listen to. Thank you.

"Affordable" is clearly subjective.

My mother and I on the way home from Mount Rushmore. We stayed at the KOA in Sheridan Wyoming. It was just starting to snow when we woke up and we were snowed in. I unhooked from my fifth wheel and pulled my truck forward when I woke up a big giant branch had fallen right in front of my truck, I pulled two more feet more taken out my truck but we had a good stay there. Got my mom. I got my mom some wine and we hung out watched movies when we finally had to go. My sides were covered in snow. I didn’t have a ladder and they help me at KOA to clear the snow off my slides so we can go on the road. It was a very nice day there. I enjoy your video about the KOA workmight be interested thank you again

How can I get a referral to this company?

Hey Jim really thinking hard about selling our home and ring full-time. I'm set on a foretravel. Would really like to get your and your wife's thoughts on some things. Like to pm some how???

Reasonably priced ? Really ? I’ll take the pool noodle for 500 Bob.

How much does it cost

Just subscribed to your channel after doing a. Search for a Foretravel TH-cam channel. Loved your Nimbus, currently have a 1997 U-320. Have been the owner of this coach for 5 years. Great to see a Foretravel TH-cam channel.

Just buy starlink $700 approximately

Overall good information. A couple of corrections. Flexsteel did not pick the fabric on the products used in Motorhomes. Each builder specifies what fabric they want. A lot of builders got hit with the cheaper fabric from China. Lambright makes quality RV furniture as well as Villa and they were hit with the issue as well. Mr. Lambright told me he quit selling to Newmar because in some of their lines they used that cheap fabric and he was getting blamed for building a bad chair, but his chair was fine it was the fabric that was used on it that was at fault. Although there may still be units with the bad fabric still out there for the most part they have been recovered with better fabric. The word Ultraleather has become for vinyl the same as Kleenex has for facial tissue. So, if you must have one redone make sure you are getting “Ultraleather” the real thing. It is a Japanese company and is a good product. For the most part the DEF issue is behind us. One thing to be sure of is that your engine, which will be a Cummins, has had all the updates needed. Some of those updates took care of most of the DEF failures. Also, yes it may be great not to have DEF but here is an issue you also must consider, a lot of the nicer campgrounds do not accept coaches 10 years old or older. I know it sounds crazy, let’s say you have a 2002 Prevost, Newell or even Foretravel, that originally was a $1 mil coach, and you just paid $350k for it, you can’t come in.

How do you deal with campgrounds reporting the total annual value of your RV site on your W-2? For example, if you stayed 16 weeks and the site would have rented for $500 per week, at the beginning of the next year you will receive a w-2 from that campground which will include your total hourly earnings PLUS $8000 income for the fringe benefit of site? (16 weeks x $500 per week site rent free)

Hi Jim, I’m very interested in a 2007 Foretravel. I’m enjoying your videos.

Great info! Some campgrounds have age limits for RVs. Have you seen this with KOA work sites?

Wow thanks for the helpful video! Personally I use HomeFi and its worked great for me! I use their portable hotspot device which connects me to the nearest strongest signal and I've had no issues using it on the road.

best place to buy a rv is the state impound /state surplus/ect

I always wondered about that side mounted radiator. As I just bought my first used Monaco Knight. And when you open up the engine compartment. There is no engine. It is just a, big radiator. Blocking the entire engine.. And I asked. How do you get to the engine? It's from the bedroom closet. On the floor. So that's a word to the wise. Do not stow a lot of garbage on the floor. In the bedroom closet. Because you might have to open the, access panel. In the bedroom closet. But I came out of the closet years ago. So I shall get a, RV maintenance technician. Who is still in the closet. To fix what I need. Yes and so the radiator would make a little more sense. Mounted on the side of the vehicle. But… What the hell? I really don't care. I'm not going to be doing the servicing. Somebody else will. It will just cost me more. That I cannot afford. But I will deal with that. When the time comes. As until then. I will drive very gently. I'm not in a hurry anywhere. That's what's great about retirement. Not in a hurry, anywhere. I will be starting a new phase of my life for the next couple of days. Wow. I actually made it. So money of my friends and loved ones are already passed. They passed on far too young. It's not fair. I was so in love with my husband for 22 years. That wasn't what I wanted that wasn't what he wanted. We looked forward to our retirement together. We had accomplished, so much together. And then he's taken from me. There is no God. There is just today. I don't know how many more to days I have left. RemyRAD

Great video. Glad to see your back to posting.

I can't find that koa website as it appears in your video. Searching brings me to a Koa site but nothing in depth about courses or joining for a fee? Any help appreciated, a link maybe ... :)

I loved this video!!! I was in TV advertising sales for 27 years and retired early at the end of 2022. Hearing ROI , win/win, covering the nut brought back the fun parts I remember about selling. Thank you!!

Ok so I just want to be able to have better signal for my Wi-Fi on my iPhone to work better. It doesn’t sound like by buying this it will boost my signal to my iPhone where I already have a subscription or does it.

Well KOA is our preferred campgrounds and we really like the guide and the adds -I look for some discounts on dinner etc -Very interesting on how these are made 🚌🇺🇸

Good video explaining a useful service opportunity. 💯

I’ve had diesel pushers for about 10-12 years, beginning with a 1999 Winnebago Suncruiser 34ft., to a 2012 Tiffin Allegro Red 38ft. One thing that was most important in both RVs: The Chassis. I considered the Cummins-Allison-Freightliner Chassis to be the gold standard, all the rest is bells & whistles.

Hey Jim, found y’all as I was searching foretravel, we will be picking up a 2007 nimbus and will be watching your vids to supplement others. We’ve been watching some of your vids and do a good and thorough job on them. Thanks

What is the brand name of the hot spot your holding up thanks 🙏🏻

Great informative video! I looked at the "Work at KOA" website and there wasn't any links to where you could get the $75 online training courses, would you happen to have the link? Thanks

the most important task on your list should be the last one......walk away.

thank you
