    Filling up a Bravado

    We just filled up our Bravado 29SF for the first time today. While we were pumping the Diesel the sign changed from $5.09 to $5.11. However our pump stayed at $5.09. Big complaint -- I hold to hold the pump handle to VERY slowly add the diesel. It took 30-minutes to add 40 gallons. Ken

    Gas Prices Across the Map: What RVers Are Paying Right Now

    Brilliant strategist that I am, I decided that we didn't need to gas up as we almost always do before pulling into this park two weeks ago.
