It is a metal rack that is added to the back of a car or motor home so that you can carry extra things, such as bicycles, chairs, etc. Thanks for your help.

In France and Spain is it illegal to park is a standard car park with a motor home and sleep there.?

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:26:58 +0000

Me and a few friends are touring France and Spain, stopping off at Calais, Paris, Bordeaux, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Montpelier and Lyon in a motor home. we are struggling to find accessible camp-sites so are wondering if it is legal to just park up in a field somewhere or a car park and spend the night there. Any help with this dilemma would be appreciated.

You and a "few" friends. The law is flexible – but look at it from a Gendarmes point of view.
I lay up in car parks near Calais/Dunkerque the night before my ferry – no hassle. But you MUST be non messy, quiet at night, no fooling around.
Away from the coast there are plenty of municipal campsites. I have used motorway car parks – go away from the shop, be polite – no problem. Remember motorway service stations have good showers as well.

How to get online while traveling in a motor home?

I will be traveling around the western US in a motor home this summer. Any thoughts about how I go online other than looking for library or Starbucks?

Get mobile internet, it is usually like a usb key and it gives you access to Internet anywhere. I sued to have and use it in the bus on my way to work. The only downfall is that it can be a bit expensive. But now I have an iPhone and that allows me to stay connected 24/7.

how do you start a lien sale in the state of california, on a vehicleor motor home, for storage fees?

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:12:10 +0000

I just need to know how to start te proceedure for a lien sale of an abandon motor home left on my property

WEll, first off, did you have a contract or agreement for storage fees? If not, then selling it is going to be difficult to impossible. You have tohave an impound license to do this, or a contract for storage fees.

Assuming you have those, there are several steps.

First, you need to take the agreement to the DMV and request an RO/LO check (Registered owner / Legal Owner). The RO is whoever has the title to the car. An LO would be a bank or lienholder.

When that comes back, you send certified letters to BOTH parties (If there is no LO, just send to the RO). The letter needs to state that the owner has 21 days to remove the property or it will be sold at auction.

You need to place a notice in the legal section of your paper, or any local publication that has circulation within your area. You cant put it in the Thrifty Nickel, it has to be a real publication. That notce must also state that the owner has 21 days to remove the property or it will be sold at auction.

If the registered letter comes back to you, DO NOT OPEN IT. Opening it will start the whole process again. You must keep the sealed envelope as prrof you attempted to contact hte RO at his last known address.

You must contract with an auctioneer to sell off the property. You must publicize the exact date, time and location of the auction. Then you pay auction fees and keep the balance of the sale.

You will then send a second certified letter to the RO stating the vehicle was sold at auction to satisfy outstanding storage fees.

The buyer of the RV gets all the documentation – storage bill. lein sale affidavit, copies of ad in paper, the unopened certified letters, and any other documentation in order to title and register the RV.

Now

If you DONT have a contract for storage, you cant do any of this. Its abandoned on your property, but with no agreement or impound license you cannot sell it. You need to contact the largest tow yard in your area, and ask them to remove it. THen THEY get to do all the fun steps above. You wont receive any money, but it will be gone, and it will be their legal hassle not yours.

Name of the TV show where the family is traveling with the kids and I think their nephew in a motor home?

admin — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:13:02 +0000

I use to watch this show all the time with my mom and her birthday is coming up and I want to get her the ultimate gift. So if anyone knows the name of the TV show where the family is traveling with their kids (I also think that their nephew traveled with them) in their motor home? This show came on like 10 or 11 years ago I think??

It reminds me of
Promised Land from 1996 http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0115325/

When Russell Greene loses his job, he decides to go on the road with his family. So he gathers his wife, Claire, his son, Josh, his daughter, Dinah, his mother, Hattie, and his nephew, Nathaniel and hits the road. With only an old Suburban, a trailer, and a dream, Russell and his family are now traveling across the country in search of adventure and helping many people along the way

Living in a Motor Home without Lot Fees?

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:40:19 +0000

I plan to spend my twenties and possibly my early thirties in a motor home and was wondering whether or not anyone knows of general areas in which one could park an RV without having to pay lot fees. I was thinking just general parking lots, however, there might not be anything but payed parking certain locations, so I was wondering about alternatives.

you could buy a membership to a recreational club & then you would have facilities you could park at long term.
General parking lots do not allow you to park RV — Walmart will let you park overnight for 1night. State Highway rest stops usually allow you to stay one night. If you are constantly on the move, that might work.

If you want long term parking, then you need to lease a space & hopefully one with electric hookup and sewer dump privileges. If you were or are with the military, they offer screaming deals and really nice RV parking sites with lots of amenities.

How do rats (rats NOT mice) enter an a motor home and how do you get rid of them?

admin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:35:04 +0000

My aunt has a rat problem in her motor home and she asked me for help. The only problem is I have no clue about this stuff. Can you help me out? Thnx(:

I know you know this.Rats get in through holes in the building.In a trailer its even easier because they can get in through the underside.
Standard procedure is to close off the access,then,unfortunately,kill the rodents,usually with poison though there are other ways.
If you have no clue,you would be better served by contracting with a pest control contractor.They know what to do and how to do it.
Don’t just kill the rodents and not fix the holes!I guarantee you you will just end up with even more rats,possibly even pregnant ones-which means rat babies.Do it right.
