I know that most of you are wiser than me so you already knew this ... when the recall came out I went to my MH to check ... my frig was a Royal so I knew I didn't have a problem.  Then I got a recall in the mail from National ... checked again to discover that Royal is manufactured by Dometic. ...

I have found that giving the toilet a "mega-flush" now and then assures that there is enough liquid in the black tank to help keep everything moving.  Also, I always make sure we have at least 2/3 of a black tank before dumping.  After dumping I fill the bowl and flush twice so there is ample...

Just to let you know ... I reinstalled OSX ... didn't lose any files and it works great again.

I need help!  Today I downloaded a new version of Safari 3.1 and now I can't get Mail to load.  I have a iBook G4 with OSX 10.3.9.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rollie

I was surprised last week on our trip back from Arizona that the traffic had seemed to , overall, slowed some.  There were still a few that would fly by but for the most part people were driving at or below the speed limit. 

So how do you know if you have a "newer" charger or a "crappy" one?

Thanks to all for your thoughtful responses ... turning off the lights seems a little counterintuitive and that is the reason I asked.  Watching the weather forecasts and staying put is the best strategy but if you get caught a knowledgeable plan "B" is invaluable.  That is why I am such a fan...

We finally made it to the great southwest.  On the way we hit a "dust devil" head on, almost hit a tumble weed the size of a VW and we learned that "RV friendly" means the station has diesel not necessarily a good spot to fill up a gasser. But I do have a question for you long time southwest...

I don't want this to sound preachy or condescending but here is a little theory  I have on the proper care and feeding of a co-pilot.  In the past when my DW (co-pilot) would say something like, "There's a stop sign!" or "Here comes a truck!" I would say," I saw it!" ... sometimes I would not...

If you become a regular reader of this  Forum you will avoid many "Robin Williams" moments.  The knowledge shared here has saved us all time, aggravation and money.  However, some of that knowledge has come from "Robin Williams" moments.  :)

I just bought a Metro Vacuum VNB-73B 1 Quart 4 Horsepower Blower Vacuum ... it is made in the USA and it really has a tremendous amount of vacuum power!!  It looks like something made in 1957, it all metal and has a handle like the one on my portable typewriter case and an off/on switch that I...

My kids and friends think the same thing.  We must be crazy ... winter in an RV in a "trailer park" ... they all ask, "What are you going to do all winter?" ... "How will you live in such a small space?" ...  "Won't you get on each others nerves?" ...  Well, we have camped (RVed) for years ...
