Tony, I have to disagree.  We didn't always get the welcome home we should have but I got a GI bill, a college education from it, a good job based upon a 5 point veteran's preference, a good career and a good wife I met while going to school shortly after I got out of college.  But you are...

Gary,  I'm getting the same information you have regarding a ferry to Mexico from Florida.  It doesn't look like it ever got started.  I could still drive there by going to the Gulf Coast first or even come to Baha, but I'd like to do it with someone else who has been there.  Any interest...

Has anyone camped recently along the eastern side of Mexico?  I'm considering driving down to Florida from Virginia and then taking a ferry over.  The information on the ferry service is spotty.  It sounds like they still my not have it in place yet, at least embarking from Tampa. The last time...

I've stayed at several Navy RV campgrounds from South Georgia to Key West.  They are always on or very close to the water, often have access to MWR equipment rentals including boats in some locations and are usually reasonably priced in the range of $30.00 per day or so.  I'm eligible as a DoD...

Barbara, How is that working out for you?  I would really like to overwinter in Mexico somewhere coastal.  There hasn't been much activity on here lately regarding Mexico.  A couple years back most people were concluding that it had become too dangerous. Please give us an update. Thanks, Dan T

I live 25 miles South of Washington DC.  The entrance to the campground at Prince William Forest National Park  is on Hwy 234 (Dumfries Road) only about 2 miles west of Interstate 95.  If you have a senior pass (age 62 I think) the campsites should only cost $14.00 a night or so.  I think they...

Thanks folks.  I'll look on the right hand side.  Dan

Can anyone tell me how I get to the learn wires on a 2011 Adventurer?  I disassembled the left hand post that covers the power wires.  I can see two wire bundles which I assume are for the solar and night shade.  I tried to take down the windshield wide top cover but one of the screws was so...

I have a 2011 Winnebago Adventurer  and need to reprogram my electric shades.  I let the motorhome sit for quite a while over the winter with the batteries still connected and probably lost voltage to drop below the 11 volt limit.  The reprogramming part I understand.  It's getting to the...

With the help of your ideas I managed to get it all worked out.  I thought I'd put up a few things I learned along the way. I bought a relatively inexpensive home entertainment system with a Blue Ray reader built into the mother box from Best Buy.  The mother box is about the same size and...

It sounds like they might not really be all the way up.  If just a little bit of chrome is showing on my jacks the alarm will sound if the engine is running.  You might try running them down, spraying a suitable lubricant and running them up again.  Also you could try pumping them up with a...

I purchased an upgraded replacement system.  Unfortunately the receiver will only accept an HDMI cable.  There is one dangling from the TV set but it appears that it has come loose at the TV.  I get a "no signal" message on the screen.  I've hooked the receiver up to my TV in my house and it...

Mickey, That looks close.  I marked all the speaker wires as I disconnected them from the "home entertainment system" box with the DVD.  By inspecting the box I can tell the resistance rating of each speaker it was supposed to be connected to.  Most of them are supposed to be 4 ohm speakers...

I have an RCA RTD317W DVD that was part of the original equipment on my 2011 Winnebago Adventurer.  The DVD is part of a suite of home entertainment items including several speakers that I don't need.  The DVD is dead.  There is a series of six pairs of wires in the cabling bundle that feed...

Last April I could not figure out how come I was not getting any hot water to any of the faucets in the Winnebago.  After a month of trying to figure it out on my own and getting ambiguous recommendations from the local shops, I got around to asking for advice on here.  A few people posted that...
