    Things to keep in the motor home?

    For my two cents, YES, take the drill.  Things break and the drill can be a valuable tool(screwdriver).  I just got thru replacing the drawer glides in the kitchen and would have been lost without that drill.  Also had to use it to remove the track for the sliding door and replace the door. ...

    Lassen Pines RV Resort

    After my perch episode I'm not sure I have the stomach to look into those eyes then eat it.  I laid him on the dock and went to get my needle nose, when I got back the hook was out...thank goodness.  I tossed him back into the water but guess maybe should have been a little more gentle. I've...

    I'll give it a try...but that hump goes up???  ??? I thought to put it down so the water would sit in it.  Can I just let a few inches fall between the hose supports?  Thanks!

    As I recall, it was raining pretty badly.  I do know it worked well.  I imagine windshield wiper fluid has reduced the need.  Did they even have wswf back then???  I don't think so.

    Travel Recommendations

    Thanks Wendy,  I called around and almost ended up at Garden of the Gods but opted for a park with cable.  I've been TV deprived since January as I don't have a dish.  I ended up at Goldfield on 26th Street.  It's only 5 miles from where I'm working and the owner ED was VERY nice.  Nice...

    Any recommendations for RV parks in the Colorado Springs area?  Just found out that I may/or may not have a job down there.  I'm at Chatfield State Park at the moment and it is WONDERFUL!  It just takes  a while to exit the park, about 5 miles.    (Horse Back riding and stables with boarding...

    Are we dinosaurs?

    Ok Wendy, I'm in your age group...First car was a 1960 Comet that I bought for $50.00! And yes I remember Rawhide, Sky King, and Howdy Doody.  But I was in love with Little Joe! Pam

    Lovebugs

    I can remember back in the late 50's being on a trip with my grandparents in the "Buick Car".  We had beein going through some rain and the wipers weren't doing the trick.  The gas station attendant told my Grandfather to put Coke on the windshield.  Worked like a charm but boy was I upset that...

    5'er with a short box---what's best set-up?

    I didn't get through all the posts and do not understand all the technical information contained therin, but for my two cents from one that owns a short bed with a 30' 5'er, get an atomatic slider.   jumping in and out to change the position of the slider can be a pain especially if you are...
