What are restrictions on towing trailers or loadluggers with motorhome?

Restrictions on towing trailers or load luggers with a motorhome typically vary by jurisdiction and are influenced by the motorhome's weight, class, and the towing capacity specified by the manufacturer. Many areas require a special towing endorsement on a driver's license if the combined weight exceeds certain limits. Additionally, some campgrounds and parks may have specific rules regarding the size and type of trailers that can be towed. It's essential to check local laws and the motorhome's manual before towing.

What kind of RV do the gornikes drive in the movie RV?

1948 Flexible Clipper

The script originally called for a 1990s recreational vehicle, but Sonnenfeld wanted something more classic and asked Rasmussen to help him find it. His searched yielded two 1948 "Flexible Clippers," which were used in the 40s and 50s by such companies as Greyhound and Trailways. At one time there were more than 5,000 "Clippers" in use by the fleets of about 1,000 bus companies.

Since then, the "Flexibles" have been used in federal parks as shuttles and remained popular with many smaller bus operators. Nowadays, "Flexible Clippers" are extremely popular as recreational vehicles, so much so that it has spawned an international organization of "Clipper" owners.

Of the two buses Rasmussen found, one was being used for a tour company, Cumberland Tours, in Nashville, Tennessee, while the other had been put out to pasture. Both were in reasonably good shape when the production acquired them and were then overhauled to suit the demands of the film. The seats were stripped away, the bodies restored and painted an eye-catching red and cream (they were originally blue and white) and outfitted like vintage motor homes.

Other exterior appointments included "eyelid" shades over the headlights, a chrome ladder up the back and a wooden roof rack to complete its distinctive classic look. The second bus was completely rebuilt, including engine and drive train, with only about 60 percent of the interior restored. It was used mainly for stunt work and second unit exterior shots.

Your motor home was repossessed. Can the creditor put a lien on your home?

Unless the loan covers both your home and the motor home, the two are not interconnected.

Another Perspective

The bank may be able to sue you in court for any deficiency after the motor home is sold. If it is successful it may be able to obtain a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records. If there is no automatic homestead exemption in your state you should check into recording one that covers your primary residence.

Does a motorhome have to stop at weigh stations?

Usually, no, although some states require that ALL vehicles over a certain weight do. Unfortunately, some of those states also exempt motorhomes, because the FMCSA - which seems to serve only to make life more difficult for commercial drivers at every turn - does not regulate recreational vehicles, whatsoever. So, no matter how untrained, unqualified, or unsafe a motor home driver is, they aren't required to stop.

Can you sleep in a pull RV while the vehicle is driving?

Whether passengers may ride in a trailer or not is subject to varying by state laws, but, generally, most states prohibit it. Even in states which don't, it's a very ill-advised thing to do - unlike the tow vehicle, which is reinforced to protect the occupants in the event of a crash or rollover, a trailer is not, and offers no protection to occupants in such an event.

What is motor-home?

A "motor home" is a vehicle which also contains a living space. It differs from a "camper" in that it is self-propelled, rather than designed to be towed by a separate vehicle.

The big drawback to a motor home (as opposed to a camper/travel trailer) is that, since it's also your vehicle, you have to pack/secure everything every time you want to go somewhere. If you're parking it at a resort destination where you can walk to everything you want to visit, or if you have friends nearby with a car, this is fine. If you're vacationing and would like to make side trips this can be a pain. For this reason, many people tow a car behind the motor home to be used for local transportation once they reach their destination, the exact opposite of how people with travel trailers do things.

Oil capacity for 1990 464 Chevy engine in a motorhome chassis?

no such engine 464 you must mean 454. depends on year model 5 quarts without filter change and 6 with filter change

What is the timing for a 1983 Motorhome-454 cubic inch engine The motorhome is 31' in lenght Is the timing setting the same for all 454 engines made in 1983 If so then you know the answer?

First of all, the size of the motorhome has absolutely nothing to do with how to repair the engine. Specify which make of engine it is, and you may get better results. Tgzzzz: I don't understand how someone could write the above incredibly ignorant comment. If you don't know what a 454 is, stop talking and start listening! Hi! I have a 1984 motorhome (31' ;-) with a Chevy P30-series chassis, 454 engine. The timing is on the air filter cover and is listed as 4 deg. BTDC. I tried looking this up online for myself--the Chevy-published info for this chassis & engine didn't indicate a timing, and directed me to look other than where the timing info _was_ located--and I haven't found it (and I've found a lot of red herrings). You might start w/4 deg., but perhaps a "history of the 454" would indicate model changes which might help with whether or not what I'm seeing would be of use to you.

How do you winterize a travel trailer?

One step would be to drain all water lines and tanks.

Add about 2 cups of 50/50 solution of automotive anti-freeze to all sink traps. Don't forget the bathroom sink and shower, too!!

If you are in heavy snow country, you may want to put a 4x4 post between the inside roof and the floor to help support the roof framework.

Get canvas covers for the A/C units and disconnect/remove the batteries if they are outside on the tongue. Chock the wheels if on even the slightest incline to prevent the unit from sliding on ice.

DON'T FOLLOW THE ADVICE ABOVE. Automotive anti-freeze is extremely toxic. There is an RV anti-freeze that made specially for this purpose. It is not toxic and completely safe.
