I've lost a set of chassis batteries twice now(!) when the RV has sat in storage too long.  I'm thinking about getting a battery maintainer to maintain the charge and (hopefully) preserve the batteries.  Does anyone have experience with using a maintainer for two 12V batteries in parallel? ...

A Fiesta would be a sub-compact, I think.  So, saloon is Brit for sedan, estate = station wagon, lorry = truck and HGV (heavy goods vehicle) = semi.  Did I miss any, Spike?  Oh, and JCB = backhoe.

We've been happy with our ReadyBrute tow set up.  Like you, I was attracted by its simplicity.  We have Blue Ox baseplates on our 3,600 lb CR-V.  It has all worked well for the past several years.

Thanks for the reminder, Jackie.  It's been a while since I've done that.

Get someone to coat your roof w spray foam insulation.  ;D  Paint it black and it might not even look too bad.  Could even help your electric bill.

I've heard/read of the trend to single space after periods, but it seems easier understand context and paragraph structure with less conscious thought when double spaces are used.  I guess I'm getting too old to change that particular preference. 

You're a good man, Charlie.  Stay strong.  Remember to take care of yourself mentally and physically as well as caring for Donna.  You probably know that hospice can come to your home - they have a world of practical experience helping folks deal with very difficult and unfamiliar...

Looks like the proposal is for a lifetime senior pass to cost $80 instead of $10  OR  another option would be a annual senior pass for $20. From The National Parks Traveler:  http://www.nationalparkstraveler.com/2016/12/congress-trying-pass-national-park-service-centennial-act "As passed by...

Boston terriers are small, don't shed and generally are not yappy dogs.  It's like having a genial miniature bulldog.  But if longevity is key, I'd go with a small mixed breed dog.

I got this one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00080QHMM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1a) few years back (2013) which has worked well.  If it's good enough for Gary RV Roamer, it's good enough for me.  :-)

You really need to get weighed to be safe.  Our local rock and gravel quarry let me weigh our rig (for free even). Until you can get weighed, you might look up the weight table for your old tires and inflate the Toyos to support the maximum weights that your old tire/inflation combo could...

Any more of this and I'll have to jump off a mountain clef.

We actually did rent a 60' narrowboat for a week while we were in UK, never having operated any kind of powerboat before.  The rental agent accompanied us for about a quarter mile, gave us some pointers on how to steer the boat, then jumped off and sent us on our way.  It worked out great, just...

Me either.  All of the roof structure has to be replaced, both sides are at least partially bent inward.  The big slide must be significantly damaged.  Plus the carnage of the cabinetry, windshield/upper front end.  I'd worry about the structural integrity of the whole shell after repairs.  I'm...

I am unable to find an inflation table for Toyo RV tires.  Their Load and Inflation page (https://www.toyotires.com/tires-101/tire-load-and-inflation-tables) just covers cars and light trucks.  I did find the RV tire table online a few months ago but can't find it now.  Fortunately I printed a...
