    Revisiting Full Classic Rock Albums from the 60s and 70s

    I still remember getting ready for high school one morning while watching the news with Hughes Rudd, and hearig that Jim Croce had died. So sad, I was a huge fan.

    Florida, nice to see a sense of normal

    Considering the number of misdiagnoses and the number of false positives on Covid tests, it is also possible that cases of the regular flu are being diagnosed as Covid.

    Enlighten me on diesel pushers

    I can only tell you of my experience.  We had a 30' gasser and traded it for a 40' DP.  I had no knowledge of the differences when I bought the DP.  We found the DP handled better because of the larger wheels and longer wheelbase.  The noise while traveling was much less because the engine was...

    So who is out there on the road now? What's it like??

    In August and September, we traveled from Utah to Florida.  We had planned to travel I-10, but had to duck north to Oklahoma to avoid a hurricane in Louisiana.  We had no problem getting into campgrounds.  Some truckstops wouldn't allow you inside without a mask.  I only recal one that enforced...

    Firearms and Full timing

    We are South Dakota residents.  It works well for us, but we haven't managed to spend the 30 days there required to get their CCW.  So, we got a Florida non-resident permit.  Easy to get, reciprocity applies in all of the states that you would expect, and not in the states that you wouldn't. ...

    Competition and Pricing: How Starlink Could Change the Internet Industry

    It sounds promising, but it has a way to go.  I currently full-time, and my wife and I use either campground wifi or the hot spots on our phones.  Neither is an ideal solution.  If Starlink lives up to the hype, it could transform the industry, but I'm interested in what the proposed speed...

    Is it safe to put a 1/2 gallon of bleach & 10 gallons water in the black tank

    I wouldn't use bleach on anything with plastic pipe and/or rubber seals.  It won't happen all at once but it will cause damage over time.  I use 20 mule team borax and powdered dish washer soap when I need to clean the sensors.  1 cup of each and a few gallons of water.  The dishwasher powder...

    Black water tank shows 2/3's even after empty

    I've had it happen a few times.  I use a modified GEO system that so far has worked very well.  When you are preparing for a days travel (250 miles or so), dump your black tank, use the scrubber if you have one. After empty and closed valve, add about 5-10 gals of water, 1 cup 20 mule team...

    First trip, couple questions

    BE CAREFUL!  When I was a newbie, My new rig had a quick connect, and I was assured (incorrectly) on the forums that my connection was low pressure.  I removed the regulator from my grill, made all of the necessary mods to connect it to the coach, blew it up, and singed off my eyebrows!  I also...

    I am about to give up hope

    I am of the group that believes that masks are a knee-jerk reaction to a pandemic that has been politicized.  The only masks that have been proven to be effective against a virus have to be professionally fitted, and a hood test with a chemical spray is part of that fitting (most doctors do not...

    I am about to give up hope

    When did this forum become political?  This may be a medical issue, but it is a political discussion.  It is political because there is no definitive proof that masks protect anyone.  Additionally, there are physicians with differing opinions. If discussions like this are to be permitted on...

    What's Better: RV or Trailer?

    There are so many possibilities, and each of them would be best, depending on your situation.  Every person on this forum could give you their opinion, each rating a different type of RV (RV is a generic term or all recreational vehicles, ie.- motorhome, fifth wheel, travel trailer, etc.  There...
