LOL!  You'll find most folks on all the forums with a lot of full timers are "ancient" (I'm ONLY 57 so I've got 3 more good years!).  The other full timers I've actually met are about the same.  I was selling at a small music festival this past weekend and was the oldest person there...

Lewis, Just have your friend take the burner (pilot), igniter, and thermocouple sensor apart and clean them.  Mine is a Dometic that had the same symptoms.  The spark on mine is supposed to jump from the an igniter electrode the the burner body.  Both were so dirty, pitted and corroded that...

Susan, I also use Virgin Mobile's Walmart special $20 a month 1 gigabyte plan.  For this plan you need to buy the device at Walmart.  Recently I've had to call in each month to apply the card I've already added.  Virgin Mobile was the first provider to rein in the bandwidth hogs so all could...

Bernie, I do know that CoachNet has a separate division that offers road service to commercial customers (it's on their website- just look).  I do not know where they draw the line between divisions.  As I wrote in my original post, "I'm not sure how CoachNet handles this issue, but it is...

Skip, If there is any way for a service vehicle to tell you're are "commercial", check into CoachNets commercial services.  Of course removing outside evidence of commercial activity works even better and cheaper. I have been towed by AAA when it was clear my vehicle was engaged in business...

Gary has it.  I think my Laguna by Cobra has 2 pages.  One is a "Welcome", "Congratulations", or "Thank you" page and the other is an index of the Appliance manuals.  There could be another page or two mixed in, but there is nothing with any useful information about the coach. fleamarketeer

Has anybody found a way around upgrading to the new mail? About a month ago I started getting nag screens on a couple of accounts.  It said the screens would end on the 21st of September.  I stopped using the accounts for a month and tried again this morning.  Now there's a NEW nag screen that...

Hi, I did quite a bit of research and decided on Coach.Net for my Class C.  Since you have a F-250, I think they all have single rear wheels, AAA's rv service should work for you also. The differences are: 1) Coach Net tows as far as needed to the nearest place that work on your vehicle- 1...

Thanks!  It's annoying to have to go back and retype.  Since I usually have the speakers muted I don't hear the warning beep. Now, does anyone have a fix for the dreaded "e. e. cummings syndrome"?  I need a simple program that translates those all lower case posts to something easily legible...

Well, I finally joined.  Kind of pricey at $139 total.  Supposedly it goes down $10 next year.  A bunch of Yahoos are pulling the "one time" sign up fee silliness.  Now I kind of wish I'd looked further.  Oh well, the damage is done.  And they're the only one I found who will cover a utility...

Wow!  Two CUPS in a tank!  I use a capful of Calgon in the black tank and another in the gray.  I think the last bottle I bought was about $4 with tax.  There are 4 cups (32 ounces) in a bottle, so using 2 cups, each black tank "dump" costs about $2 just for Calgon.  Then there is however...

Larry, Tightening a fitting or a new piece of fuel line would be the preferred method but... I had a Chevy S-10 with a pinhole in the fuel line next to the in tank pump.  First I removed the bed liner and cut a hole through the bed over the tank.  Then I cleaned it up as best I could and used...

And of course once they're clean you need to dry your clothes.  I've never heard of a campground with rules against rocking chairs but some frown upon clotheslines. I recently saw the "Joy Mangano CloseDrier? Portable Drying System" at a flea market.  Here is is a Home Shopping Network link...

DearMissMermaid, I guess Wayne isn't interested, so sure.  They're located in Ohio- you can't miss them, they're in a '95 green and white E-350 <grin>.  I wouldn't have even picked them up except I bought an old folding chair that had the seat replaced with heavy yarn laced/woven.  I wanted...

ljedik, I don't think I'd use premixed compound unless it was a very small area.  For something a little larger the Durabond style mentioned by TwoTmblwds should be ok.  Regular (not lightweight) Durabond is more water resistant and less likely to crack as long as it is kept in a thin layer.  A...
