We didn't think we should stick with the old hometown now that we live in this great location, with a really neat name! People who see it can't say it and people who hear it can't spell it. LOL ;D

Hi All, John, Mary-Ann and Panda Bear Bowerman from Okotoks, Alberta will be there again this year. We enjoy the fellowship with "framiliy" and wouldn't miss it for anything! Actual date of arrival will be determined later. We may be early, but we sure don't want to be late. I hear the new...

Sorry for taking so long to respond to kind wishes from Wendy and Bob. It seems like we are running around getting ready all day, every day. We leave for the desert on Dec. 3 and good thing too. It's already snowed a couple of times here and the temp is getting pretty low. Yes Wendy, we will...

Hi Bob & Everyone, After attending last year and having a great time, Mary-Ann and I (and the Panda Bear) will be attending this one as well. You couldn't keep us away!! :) We had a great time and are looking forward to seeing our new friends again. We will be there for at least the 17th to...

Wow, Thanks folks for responses. Karl, I will pay particular attention to your information. Thanks for the detailed description. We're on our way home shortly and therefore have decided to hold off for a bit. I will let you know when (,if and how) I resolve the issue successfully. It is my...

Lou and Cindy, What a shock! Our sincerest condolences to Tom & family. We enjoyed meeting them at Quartzsite, as we did enjoy meeting you two. We hope everything works out for you and we look forward to seeing you at the rally next year. Best wishes, John & Mary-Ann Bowerman

An update: We drove into Phoenix area and went to Fry's Electronics (I am blown away by the size of that store!). They discussed many possibilities with me, but I left without a unit. The fiver is equipped partially as a car would be and partially like a home system. For example, The system is...

Thanks for info guys. I've already looked at Wally World, but they don't have any with speaker connections I need and all are packages with speakers. My existing speakers are hardwired in and I don't want to mess with that. I hope I can get over to Fry's in Phoenix while I'm in AZ, but may...

The receiver unit for our fiver went on the fritz during our trip down to AZ this year. Can anyone recommend a unit (and a good place to purchase same) for us? We need AM/FM receiver, CD/DVD player, 8 speaker connections at four ohms (wires, not plugs) for six inside speakers and two outside...

Hi from Us. We noticed in the Arrivals list that we are the only prospective arrivals without a last name. We are the Bowerman family. We are currently online at the Coyote Lanes Bowling alley the the YPG Army base near Imperial Dam. We are camped at Senator Wash on Herman's Horse Path. We...

Hi Bob and everyone! Well, I said I would try for 2007 and that darned heart surgery got in the way. I'm feeling fine now, Mary-Ann is eager to go and we're headed south in about 3 days. We are really looking forward to meeting everyone and experiencing camping in the desert, not to mention...

;D Some of you may recall that I was planning to retire in mid 2006 and hit the road full time. Well, a triple bypass after I retired kind of put a delay into that planning. We are experiencing a Calgary winter that definitely wasn't in our planning, but recovery is going well (I can't believe...

I'm guessing the company you are referring to is Glendale and the fiver is called the Titanium. Here is the link to their site http://www.glendalerv.com/. Their smallest fiver is the 24E29 and it weighs 6856 lb dry according to the web site. You can add a bunch to that in real life. We have a...

Hi On the Road, We haven't bought one-yet, but I've done some research and it seems like a lot of gen for the money. My biggest concerns are: I'm not sure if it has enough power for a 15,500 BTU A/C. What is the dealer network like? i.e. can I get service when I need it? Any other comments...

Well, I decided not to get the PDA. I already have a Palm Tungsten E and the convenience of the HP iPaq was questionable since I already have a laptop (as RV Roamer pointed out). I am only five days from retirement, but they've asked me to stay on a contract basis for a month. This is putting...
