What is the consensus about leaving the gas turned on for the fridge while driving? Is this a taboo or normal ops? How about putting out the slides without the leveling jacks lowered? 

Thanks. i should have said i was considering a manual transmission. Just put it in neutral and unlock the steering wheel? Anything else i needto know? Thanks  Roger

We pick up the Motorhome next week, 2002 Newmar Kountry Star. Been looking for a TOAD on the internet. Thinking about a FWD Jeep Compass or maybe a 4 WD if they make them.Does anyone know if there are any problems towing a jeep Compass 4 wheels down? Comments from owners would be helpful...

Hello everyone again. My name is Roger Trescott, my wife Kathy and I got a tremendous amount of info here 4 years ago when we first got out fifth wheel. Had 4 great years with the fiver and now we have sold it and are getting a 2002 Newmar Kountry Star (wonderful shape). Looking for information...

What is the latest/greatest on internet connection while on the road. Planning a spring/summer trip to MN/WI/MI/NY/Canada and don't want to be a slave to McD's wifi or campgrounds wifi that I find generally unusable. Looking at a Verizon  "aircard". Not looking for super speed but would like...

I apologize for my lack of spelling prowess. I'm a poor speller on a good day but when my "blood is up" I can't spell worth a ship.

No need to ever go back. Nothing to be gained. Democracy is not a concept the coincides well with Islam, its hard enough in this country. I advocate the use of low veild special weapons. I'm sick of funerals for brave young Americans led by self absorbed political idiots all in an attempt to...

Is it just me or is the forum a little top heavy with old sailors. Makes sense, I know I've had enough time at sea to last a lifetime. My wife wants to go on cruises (went to Alaska) but I prefer the road. Seems a lot of other old "squids" may have similar feelings.

Are you guys practicing to be politicans?

Well we are back home in Palm Coast. Reassuring to hear that the growling of the water pump, although pretty loud, is normal. Couple of other questions came up: 1. Could not get the fridge to come on in the gas mode, turned off the AC pwr and kept the fridge in the auto position but after about...

Boy do I feel stupid. Found the pump switch right out in plain site. But the pump does make a pretty loud growl intermittently with the water running, no specific time between growls (3-4 secs then 6-8 seconds). The noise does come from what I percieve to be the pump area. Are there any quick...

Well here we are at Anastasia State Park in St Augustine Florida and I figured if I can back the 5er into a spot without damage then we ought to be ready to try Boondocking, so I filled up the fresh water tank and shut off the power but now the pump will not pump or I don't know how to turn the...

I've been trying to remember my Service Number for days finally came to me. D11-04-67.  Never used it other than boot camp stenciling used SSN after Boot camp.

Jim:  On that 478 vs 490, I also noticed it was a poor photo of mine.  I think I had copied a small version of the original shot.  It pixelated pretty bad.  I believe the F4 was also the largest fighter that the U.S. ever used in combat. The F-14 was a good bit larger than the F-4, I saw...

San Migel was hard enough to drink at Cubi Pt. not to mention having it warm on the ship. I preferred Bloody Mary's at the Sky club just after duty section muster, the boss said something about biting the dog that bit me, so I went along. Hangover city. Oh to be young again.
