Well hello there, stranger. What brings you back to the board at this particular time?
CFP rankings...
- Thread starter M-I-Coug
- Start date
Yup, with you there.
IIRC, you have some UGA ties? I'd apologize about last weekend's game but I have some Ole Miss allegiances in my household so there was some celebratin'.
I come and go now. Just got too busy with work and kids to go to games and post much. I also lost some of the spark when Leach fizzled and left, was replaced by Rolo, then COVID, Dickert, the PAC-12 mutiny, etc. Throw in NIL and transfer portal. If that doesn’t kill off the team, I’m sure I’ll be back when I retire and buy an RV…
I graduated from both WSU & UGA. Ole Miss was tough but I think it was pretty clear this is not a championship team, even after tonight’s UT win. NIL/portal are destroying dynasties. That’s why Saban got out and sounds like Kirby’s getting burned out. Worse for the blue bloods, better for everyone else.
You forgot about getting downgraded from a Power 4 to a G5.
Not sure if you're serious about the RV thing, but you better buy used and hire a good independent inspector. I'm sure you know the RV industry is in peril going through a tragic serious tailspin? Avoid buying new at all costs, and I don't care if it's a $25K Travel Trailer, a $100K 5th wheel, or a $800K motorhome.

Personally, we used to own a nice travel trailer in 2003, (quality was fine back then), I would avoid new RV's at all costs, until the unregulated quality issues have serious quality reform and accountability.
It's a complete total nightmare....with all manufactures and price points. I'm only referring to new builds.

This is interesting. I was actually 99% on purchasing a new Airstream 25 until about 2-3 weeks ago (even bought a new Sequoia exclusively to tow it) but - even if I pay all cash and the mechanical is sound - the monthly cash flow equation was just outrageous.You forgot about getting downgraded from a Power 4 to a G5.

I can afford it, but storage, insurance, taxes (annual where I live), maintenance/repairs was just way beyond what I would have gotten back out of it. Glad I skipped; planning on spending that on better vacations now.
Yeah, it's smarter to just spend your vacation money on hotels, Airbnb, or VRBO's than buying a new RV and dealing with the nightmare of rework and repairs, with months and months of headaches.
Hope this has helped. The more you watch Liz Amazing, and the victims who are suffering, the more you'll want to run.
My son bought one to haul his car and sleep in when racing 2 years ago. What a POS. The frame stated cracking before 1,000 miles. He was lucky enough to be able to sue and get his money back. The welds looked they had been done by someone who didn’t know how to weld. Just a few globs here and there.You forgot about getting downgraded from a Power 4 to a G5.

We bought a new travel trailer 1-1/2 ago. Used it the first three weekends we had it then never again. Wasn’t our thing. Sold it on consignment at a huge loss.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. There is no quality regulation or certification, like the aerospace or auto industry. These RV manufactures can build, (and brag about how long they've been in business, Signature Series, even with the founder's signature inside the door), and a $1,000,000 MSRP price tag, while the build quality is pathetic, and downright shameful. Leaky ceilings and roofs, frames cracking, showers's leaking, consistant water intrusion, mold, mildew and welding nightmares.
I don't care if it's a Thor or an Airstream, they're all guilty. What's funny is you think the more it cost the higher quality. Not true with an RV. Unregulated nightmare ready to happen.
There needs to be a reform in the industry, and the dealers are the middle man. They're not the manufacture, and most of the time, if the root cause is poor workmanship from the factory, they can't do anything about it, even though it's in warranty.
Non responsive phone calls or emails, or delayed responses and expensive new rigs sitting for months to get reworked or repaired, all while in warranty! Can you imagine if you're on the road, on vacation, retired, or RV'ing full time, and you have a major breakdown due to a manufacturing defect? It actually happens all the time. You're basically shut down. Good luck with a quick remediation, because its unheard of, even though the dealer says..."we're here for you". When the owners' (victims) are at their last wits, they go to Liz. Then it finally gets attention and responsiveness.
Because of Liz, basically a consumer advocate with her YouTube channel, she indeed gets a response from the executives stepping up with lip service, after a painful act of congress of extensive suffering from their victims, customers.
Run don't walk.
What's funny is that Liz started her channel about 7 years ago just traveling in her RV full time, making episodes about her life...living in an RV. She even changed rigs about 4 times. We've been following her from the beginning.
About a year ago, after doing a hundred travel episodes, because of consumers in peril with serious quality issues, she turned from an RV travel channel to an RV consumer advocate channel. As a result, she's more popular than ever.

My parents bought an rv years ago. Got another one later. I've learned that I'm never getting an rv.
They are a blast and convenient for football games. Lot's or work though. Fun work, but they are work.
Actually, we had so many great memories. Favorite state park is Steamboat Rock.
Either be handy or wealthy because there is always something. Lots of small stuff. My biggest gripe is the $2500/yr for storage.
