    Please help...don't think its cat urine!!!!!

    A cop friend of mine told me cooking meth will smell just like cat pee. Maybe it was used as a cook house before they sold it? Just a random thought. Good luck.

    Outdoorsy rental

    Caution: long rant ahead! I've been off this forum for a long while, so sorry for popping up out of the blue. I now own a 2019 Thor Chateau 31W. So far less than 5K miles on it. Due to lots of medical reasons, I haven't been able to use it much so I decided to rent it. Outdoorsy seemed to be...

    Humidity Control While In Storage

    I've been using damprid in mine but I didn't know it came it a 10lb size.  I've been using the small bags or the small container.  Thanks for letting me know that - It would be much more convenient. One of my small ones filled up and overflowed, leaving a brown sticky mess to clean up. Great tip...

    Tire inspection near Tampa, FL

    My advice is to try and find someone with as close a match to YOUR RV as possible and find out what they replaced them with, and if they are satisfied. Tires may react differently on different vehicles due to a number of factors of suspension, weight, wind resistance and other things. This is...

    E450 V10 chassis Class C Oil Change

    Thanks for all the responses. I guess I should have called more than one ford dealer.  I appreciate the do-it-yourself'ers but I just can't contort my bowling pin shaped body for that stuff, so I have to get someone else to do it.  I had a horrible experience with a Wal-mart oil change on a car...

    E450 V10 chassis Class C Oil Change

    Did some searching on here on oil changes and skipped through all the Walmart lovers and haters feuds, and a number of F53 chassis questions but never saw an answer on a class C. Wouldn't a Ford dealer be required o change (service) their product especially if it is still under warranty? I saw...

    Two days to go........

    Nope.  KW26's open for the world to see, all of the old Orestes equipment, autodin, all of it.  They have old enigma machines, KW37's, and some neat interactive displays.  It's just off the Interstate at the entrance to NSA but before you have to go through security.  See...

    Two days to go........

    Thanks for that link. That was fascinating and now makes me want to visit!  I was Navy during the cold war but all that stuff is really fun to see. The crypto museum at Ft Meade (NSA) was a real fun re-visit.  Some of the stuff on display we couldn't even mention by name when I was in because...

    Long awaited retirement trip finally here

    John and Judy:  Great blog. I'm enjoying living through your experiences -- some good & some not so much!  Hey, just remember, it's ONLY money when things go wrong. There's no ATM'S needed in heaven!  :-)  Keep up the blogging Steve/Kathy

    Replacing the FlexSteel couch with a recliner

    We just did this to our new Class C. Jackknife came out easy peasy, bought two "apartment size" recliners at Lazy Boy on sale for 369.00 each. The recliners are just fine for sleeping in as I have breathing problems and sleep in a recliner at home too. My SIL is about 270# and he slept in one...

    Cats!

    Had a friend who came up with an ingenious solution and PROBABLY would have worked if he could have pulled it off.  Since cats are sensitive to other cats urine, the bigger cat will always mark and override the smaller cats. Well, he went to the zoo and attempted to buy as much lion pee as he...

    First timer mistakes....

    Hardly a "first timer" but a mistake I'll never live down.  We've just downsized from a 40' Class A to a new 32' Class C.  I think we did this partly because of the "incident" as I like to call it.  We call it "10 Wheelin' in West Virginia".  Seems that being the cheapskate that I am, my DP...

    Kingdome Satellite Hookup

    I'll throw this out as an alternative if it can work for you. It works for us very well.  Wife and I both have iPhones and we have unlimited with T-Mobile. I have DISH service at home with their Hopper with Sling built in. You can get a $39 adapter at Walmart or on line that takes output from...

    Downsizing

    The reasons were mostly simple: DW won't drive the Class A (she's scared to death of trying) but thinks a short test drive in a C she'd be OK with it. I would like something easier to maintain than the DP with all the air brakes, suspension, filters, and expensive everything on a diesel.  Most...
