    I hate change !

    I liked the VT100, 132 character greenbar printouts, and my FORTRAN programs on a deck.

    Messed up blinds string

    The strings can be repaired on some models. If not you have to buy the whole unit. I had to take it off the wall and read the description of the shade on the inside of the header. I replaced mine from: United Shade Dicor Corporation, a Division of Airxcel 2904 Airport Pkwy Elkhart IN  46514...

    Using Roebic K-57 to clean tank sensors.

    I know this is an old topic, but I had put K-57 in the tank couple of week ago. Now due to the Covid-19 virus we are ordered to stay home. My trailer is at a storage facility.  I will not be able to empty my black tank for some time. Do you see any risk in leaving the Roebic K-57 Treatment in...

    MorRyde fold down steps

    We looked at it at the Cedar Creek Factory tour, and concluded the following: Pros: Very sturdy, and great if you are staying in the same spot for extended periods of time. If you have 3 steps, and want to replace to 4 steps for entry, then it is a good choice. Cons: You have to fold the steps...

    Oooowww, that smell

    Not to be flippant about it, but how do you think tent campers wash their dishes and utensils. I read the rules at state parks and have never seen that it was not allowed to wash your utensils and rise off. Now campgrounds do object, once stuff hits your plumbing, and I am certainly not...

    Converter

    See the troubleshooting  guide the WFCO on page 8. The jest of it is that if the voltage reads 13.6 Vdc (+/-.2) with no load, then the converter is working.  Mine died with less than one year of use. http://wfcoelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/9800-Operators-Manual.pdf In addition to...

    Oooowww, that smell

    I also agree with papachaz. I too, have never used anything other than Dawn, water softener and lots of water to rinse the black and grey water tanks. Some people add a touch of Clorox to the black water tank. If you do, make sure you dilute the Clorox in a gallon jug before you pour in down...

    RVing with an injury?

    The problem with knee scooters and the like is that most RV camp sites are uneven and may be all gravel, making it hard to get around with knee scooters. It is most difficult for a foot related injury to walk or move about on uneven ground. I would suspect that you would not want to fall and...
