    Need Good Anti-Virus program, FREE if possible

    AVAST has a free home version that's been working extremely well for me for several years on several PC's. Steve

    Mystery screw head type?

    If you enlarge the picture of the bit and take a close look ... it's a SQUARE bit!  (assuming the picture is of the real tool bit). (but then it's ONLY $.99 to buy it too) Steve

    Where can I find the "jackknife" or "sissor" couches for sale?

    Find an RV *DEALER* in your area and call them.  I found John Bleakley near me - they occasionally remove certain pieces of furniture from new RV's and replace them with 'something else' that the buyer wanted.  In my case, they had SEVERAL couches/chairs/tables, etc in an attic that they were...

    Boise to VA Hospital in SANFRANCISCO and back.

    I may be WAY off base here, but pardon me for suggesting that ANYONE travel by ANY method other than RV ... HOWEVER, you can rent a (pretty nice) car - maybe even a 4 wheel driver - for ~$30/day or less .. if you do some searching on the Inet and are not in any hurry.  Seems to me, that you...

    Hints, Tricks and Gadgets/Tools --- small ones.

    Maybe I'm just ahead (or behind) on this topic (tire valves), but last year I LOOSENED my valve stems for the outside tire (Aluminum rims on the outside, so they can't be swapped to the inside ANYWAY!), and TURNED them about 75 degrees so that I can easily reach them - even with a NORMAL air...

    Flipped the "springs" back to the bottom of the axels

    I agree with Gary- sounds to me like you don't have enough tongue weight for the weight of your trailer.  At least 10 - 15% of the total towed weight should be on the hitch - that's with a tag.  Not sure if it should go UP for a fiver, but I would think it might should.  Anyone??? .... Steve

    1983 monaco has sat for 6 years. 6.5 propane onan, ideas for startup?

    Vic, I don't have a lot of experience with LP generators, but their 'claim to fame' is that they can be left for YEARS and still fire up ready to go.  They don't have the carb clogging issues of gas and they don't have the oil contamination problems of diesels.  It sounds like you're making all...

    Hints, Tricks and Gadgets/Tools --- small ones.

    OK - I have another one.  It's been a PITA to set the thermostat to something cool enough (winter settings) to sleep comfortably in) and then have to drag my butt out of bed in the AM and go turn the heater up for showers and breakfast.  Yesterday, I added an 'aux' thermostat over the headboard...

    John, I *DO* get it  ;) It's not very often that I can get 'under' and back in a single trip with success. Congrats!! Steve

    NEED HELP WITH MY 1988 HOLIDAY RAMBLER

    Dan, It is considerably more likely that the carb (or injector if TBI) are gummed up from enamel left by the evaporation of gasoline.  In gasoline engines, you simply MUST crank and run them every couple of months unless you use some fuel stabilizer like STABIL or equivalent.  First off, remove...

    Paint sealant

    THIS ONE. Steve

    Paint sealant

    The one I use is called Rejex and it works wonderfully.  It's a bit on the expensive side, but I've never used anything that goes on and wipes off easier. YMMV Steve

    class a cover?

    I agree with all previous posts about NO "cloth type" cover.  However, if this will be a recurring thing and you have your own space for it, then a metal 'roof' cover is ideal and highly recommended - for all times of the year.  In my research last year, I found Carolina Carports to have a great...

    Hints, Tricks and Gadgets/Tools --- small ones.

    A few items from Georgia... When I bought our '94 Class A, all of the cabinet doors rattled incessantly while traveling.  I picked up a package of felt pads at walmart (in the hardware section) that had sticky backing.  Put new pads on all of the door/drawer corners and voila!  No more rattles! ...

    See Level II or ????

    Bill, I THOUGHT that looked a little cheap ... WATCH OUT - that is the MONITOR *ONLY* and includes no sensors or cables.  It is intended as a SECOND monitor in an existing system. Steve
