well this is good timing, I'm getting ready to redo all my lighting and I sure like the motion detector porchlight :-)

well, I've been gone for a very long time and was hoping I didn't get weeded out on the member list. I'm pleased I wasn't. Due to extreme hard times, the fifthwheel went in storage over a year ago and I moved in with my son, got another part time job and working 7 days a week has put me back...

Welcome Marc and Dee, I spent 12 years in Aurora driving a school bus, but now the last 10 driving a school bus in Arizona, :-) (no snow) this is the best forum for learning stuff on the rv lifestyle. Good luck in your retirement, mine is on the countdown too, also planned for 2013.  ;)

I downloaded it because of all the hype about it being faster...NOT in fact I thought it was much slower. You can customize your toolbars the way you want, but you could do that before too. Just click on VIEW at the top and then click toolbar. I made the mistake of putting the yahoo toolbar on...

thanks  :)

one question on those inflatables...do you have to get numbers put on the sides? some sort of registration?

my deepest sympathy to you, I know the feeling and it has not been a year since the loss of my traveling buddy Bandit.

my 2cents on consignment.... my friend had his fifthwheel put on consignment at a local place and it just wasn't selling. He only wanted 13,000 for it and it had been there for awhile when he happened to mention to me about selling it. I was interested and he told me to go look at it. I did and...

I once had a cocker spanial that would get motion sickness, she always wanted to go with us and never balked at getting in the car or the truck. However, she could not ride facing forward or looking out the window. She solved her own problem by riding on the floor behind the seat facing...

not sure which side of town the fifthwheel is on, but Genes RV Service on Alma School in Mesa is very reputable and reasonable. I have not used them personally but was referred to them myself and have referred others that were very pleased with them. They have a website that tells you everything...

I've lived in mine going on 4 years and everything has held up very well. A few minor repairs but nothing extravagant except the repair on the ac cause it was not something I could do myself. Much cheaper than renting an apt, and a whole lot quieter than some apt complex with neighbors overhead...

somebody told me once I could replace the locks with mailbox locks and there was less of a chance of having someone have the same key. I have not tried it yet to verify, but I was planning on it.

so I guess dish soap to wash the rv is out of the question then? didn't really want to have to buy special soap.

thanks Neal, not going far, only 20 miles to the storage yard. and yes, I will be draining and blowing the water lines. Most everything is "buttoned" up and ready for the slide to come in but I still have several weeks yet before the move, and still just a few more things to do. Can't believe...

you are correct Gary, its been in the same spot for 3 years, and I know the greasing was done before it was brought. I was hoping not to have to spend the money on doing it again. But I'd rather be safe than sorry.
