Happy to help...

Wow- good thing my wife's BMW will be on a trailer...

Today we cut and fitted much of the 3.5" thick rigid polyiso insulation (R-24 value) for the front and side walls. The floor is already done. We still need to do the ceiling and the drawbridge.

I think I'd rather drive a few extra miles or pay a couple of tolls, rather than learn how to bust tires on the side of the road...

I think so. All the barbecue and Mexican places look great- I got a Gut Pack as soon as I hit town. The real estate agent took me all over. I wanted to stay away from DFW, Austin, and the area around Fort Hood, and I think we did okay.

At the other end, we're looking at taking the 10 to the 20 to the 6 into Waco- is that okay?

God bless you, man- that was going to be the subject of my next thread... :)

Is a detour to Joshua Tree National Park worth it?

Thank you so much, Wes... :)

It appears likely that we will be moving from Portland Oregon to Waco Texas on or shortly after November 20th. My wife would like to head down I-5 south into southern California and then cut across, to minimize our chances of snow, as opposed to heading out I-84 east through the Columbia Gorge...

I'm not very happy that the timing of this move will likely require tire chains, but I did score a set of four military surplus Oshkosh 16.00R20 tire chains for $400 with free delivery. I'll need to test fit them before we leave...

Woo-hoo! Got full-coverage insurance on our 2007 MTVR, to include our motorhome conversion. Progressive Commercial.

Woo-hoo! Got full-coverage insurance on it today- one step closer to being on the road...

We've had so many interruptions- most recently, I had to fly to Texas for a few days to buy a ranch. It will serve as a central base of operations for our exploration of the U.S., and it has a 2,300 square foot shop with 14' tall doors, to store our MTVR in. Today, in spite of the increasingly...

I was thinking the same thing.

It depends on the state, as well as the configuration of the vehicle. In most states, you need a CDL over 26,000 pounds GVWR, although most states will allow you to drive a motorhome over 26,000 pounds without a CDL (our MTVR is a motorhome). In Texas specifically, you need a class B non-CDL to...

We just made an offer on a ranch in Mclennan County...

Texas form VTR-135 makes no mention of the 25 year thing. What law is it that you are concerned about (the 25 year thing).

I have no problem paying for paper and ink...

The key-locking starter switch is a Cole-Hersee# 956-3125BX. We paid $24 with free shipping. And the fuel cap can be any 4" threaded (8 threads per inch) aluminum NON-vented key-locking fuel cap.
