No, it will not run on Microsoft's Surface RT, which has the Windows RT operating system not Windows 8. No desktop Windows programs other than the ones ported by Microsoft itself will ever work on Windows RT, no more so than it would work on iOS or Android. All apps must come from the Windows...

Wendy is correct. I used that pass last year and most places would only allow free entrance. However, some CG operators were confused by the various passes (as I was when I bought it) and offered half-off the camping fee (usually a camp host, not a better-informed ranger). Once I learned the...

How odd since I had no problem getting full-timer's coverage from GEICO. Yes, the real thing, homeowner-like liability and ten grand of personal property and no questions roadside assistance which I've used once already when the tranny lost fluid. No charge on the tow. The woman on the phone...

Five months in a 21' class C so far with no problem. Loving it -- but I could understand someone with claustrophobia not being able to stand it. I'm the type that loves tight, cozy places. This is perfect. Also keep in mind that a 21' C has more per person space with one person, including...

6 of 11 on the knowledge test (not an IQ test), unfortunately. I was hoping for a lower score. In the 1990s and before, I would have gotten 11/11 all the time. For my New Century's Resolution in 2000 I vowed to stop watching TV, listening to talk/public political radio shows, and filling my time...

The silver lining for me is that the heavy rain revealed a leak I might not otherwise have discovered until off on an adventure. The sunny interlude between storms allowed the roof to dry so I could apply Eternabond and this current rain will test it to see if I missed anything. ;)

I can tell by the photo that it must have been a breathtaking sunset. Absolutely beautiful. I'm clueless about birds though and can't help you there.

For those who may be interested, Millenicom is now including the Novatel U760 Device for free with their Advanced plan (formerly $99) for new customers. $59.99 per month for 20GB on the Verizon network with no contract obligation or taxes. After setup fees it cost me $115.12 total for my first...

Another Amen to that. Unfortunately I didn't have a choice on my recent MH purchase since I can't leave for another four or five months. To give you an idea of what "sky high" is, my $27,500 used Itasca got out the door at $30,400. Rule of thumb is 10% for tax + licensing, the dealer said, but...

Could it be either of these? The spec sheets and operator's manuals are PDF links on the pages: http://www.cumminsonan.com/rv/products/gasoline/compare?gensetId=132&detail=true or (for the California compliant model)...

Thanks for the welcome, Gary and George. Pierat, I should have put it in the main text instead of just my signature: I already purchased the Class C. It's a 2002 Itasca Sunstar 21B. Small, but lots more room than a B and it's only me and my Maine Coon Cat. Ted

Hi everyone. I figure I've lurked long enough. Time for a brief intro. I camped from earliest childhood through adulthood -- truck camper, tent, and sleeping bag under the stars. My father loved to find out of the way fishing spots so it was mostly boondocking, occasionally dry camping in...
