Anybody using the Steadyfast stabilizing system? http://www.steadyfast.com/

Geez Louise! I can just see myself rolling into a Yogi Bear Campground in this thing.  ??? Any idea what it's called or who makes it?

Wet dogs, last night's cooked fish...how do I get rid of these aromas inside my RV. There are a million air purifiers out there. Anybody have a particularly good one?

Wendy, I'll tell you what has improved -- my spirits. You apparently remember that I was going through some tough times financially and I still am. I've been out of work for five months and the bank finally repoed my 2008 Sea Breeze. That really hurt on a number of levels. I was ashamed for...

I'm not really a newcomer but it has been many months since I've been in the forum. Figured I should post my return here. I've missed all your informative and entertaining posts. Happy to be back! Dave

Mike, Your situation makes mine sound like a toothache. So sorry you're dealing with the gradual erosion of everything you've worked for. But I suspect that you, like me, have found solace in family, friends and a life well-lived. Hang in there, buddy! Here's my update: there are banks out...

Love the responses, even those who are merely commiserating. At this point I'm trying to hold them off until I land another job. The timeshare/partnership idea is interesting. Will have to mull that over a bit. Otherwise, I'll keep playing nice with the lender, GM Money Bank. They seem to open...

Hi, folks! Hope you've all been well. I have been absent from these boards for quite awhile because I've been wrestling with money problems due to the fact that I'm in an industry (commercial radio) that is rapidly disappearing. Just lost my third job in two years and the piggy bank is empty...

Jim, thanks! I'm going to search for a Sonic Pro or two right now. Dave

Carson, ;D  Cricket is our Yorkie's name. She's my baby girl and I'm her Cricketdaddy. Dave PS. I do think it's a squirrel rather than a rat, though. Not that I'm an expert but the poop looked bigger than rat poop and there were some nuts and seeds scattered around. Plus, nothing has been...

Russ, Thanks! I'll use the steel wool. We have small dogs that travel with us so I'll pass on the moth balls. Not that they're likely to eat one but you never know. Anybody know the name of the electronic gadget Russ is talking about and whether it works well or not? Dave

Hi, all!  I just discovered that some small critter, presumably rodent-like -- a rat or maybe a squirrel, is using the carpet on the driver's side for a potty.  I did find a hole nearby in the flooring where I suspect it's getting through. Other than patching that hole any advice for making...

Thanks very much for the sensible recommendations. I'm taking notes. Every time I start to feel like giving in, though, I get a streak of defiance.  :D I haven't missed a payment, just not able to use it at the moment. I believe I'll dig in a little longer. Have a planned short trip with...

This nasty economy has me on the canvas. After several months of unemployment I am now working again for a fraction of what I was making. Sympathy not needed, (though appreciated.) I just want to know where and how is the best way to sell a relatively new (2008) Class A gas MH with just 7,000...

When people say an RV vacation is cheaper than the typical vacation where you fly and/or drive and stay in hotels and eat in restaurants, it's true. Even last summer when gas was over $4.00 a gallon I worked out the nickels and dimes on our 2400 mile trip and at worst it was a push. With cheaper...
