Wendy and others, I take great offense to all your California Bashing. I have lived and traveled all over the 50 states and I chose to live in Southern California for a number of reasons mainly relating to quality of life. My taxes are very reasonable, I enjoy at least 330 days of good golf and...

A few years ago I had a client in Chicago area and they had taken over one of the old Western Electric facilities. When  clearing an area down in one of the basements they ran across some old lead acid batteries that were of late 1920s vintage. He said just for fun they added water and before...

I don't know about their boot camp but many here have gone through this process of upgrading from gas to diesel. The FMCA big meets twice a year are outstanding to make this change. Frieghtliner and all the manufacturers are there with great presentations and handouts. Also they have cut away...

There have been some negative postings here about KOA. I have stayed at several over the years and some were very good and some not. But that is the way it goes with RVing. I have also stayed at non KOAs that were horror stories. One KOA we have stayed at for weeks at a time near our relatives...

Probably not to diesel but maybe to gas. I was having my Onan repaired at an Onan dealer and fellow was there having his gas converted to LPG. It was an all day job. This was a 5th wheel.  He said they dry camped a lot and and did not like the fumes from the gas generator. Here is Onan...

I won't 'touch' that at all! :)

Hmmm, I need to check this but I always assumed my refrigerator was not wired into the circuit for the inverter! But maybe I am wrong. I leave it on auto and run my generator a lot on the road. Thanks, Tom Bob

Perhaps I am paranoid about this, but it seems that when I order refill meds from either of our online pharmacies, with secure connection, over the next few days I get several emails from various places pushing low cost meds. Same when I look for golf clubs on Ebay, the I get lots of golf email...

Yes John, over the years we have seen many cases where were were having coffee and watching our 5th Wheel neighbors getting ready to leave. After some time the wife co-pilot finally comes out with two cups of coffee and dog(s) in tow and loads into the pickup cab. Then they leave for a long day...

You will get a different views on this but the newer fridges are auto so if you run it on auto, and don't have 120V AC then the gas comes on but if you turn on the generator it will then switch to electric. There is a safety issue of having propane on and  also the burner assembly in the...

Sanding first will do a lot to bring them back to like new!

Lucy could get George to bring his horse(s) and put on a rodeo show for the forum.

Don, the file vatnz.kml is at http://tinyurl.com/2jrqpl This shows all fllight simulation missions in process at any given time, worldwide. The instructions for installing are there.  But this takes the fun out of aerial navigation when instead of figuring out where you are via your  cockpit...

I was looking for something simple like a couple of 12V AGMS to replace the present fourTrojan 106s,  but now I see how impractical my thoughts were!  The drop in ones are the best as the flooded or AGMs weigh 66 pounds! That is getting to be a lot for me to wrestle around or to mess with...

Interesting Ned, I previously had my Google Earth set to show all Fight Simulation flights and now I load the kml file for DataStorm and I have a combined map of lots of somewhat worthless information showing RVers on ground and Flights in the air (but on someones computer) :D :D. When I located...
