I hope it is okay to use this topic to say my goodbyes to all the great folks on the RV Forum.  Following over 55 years of RVing we have sold the coach and, sadly, have to call it quits from this wonderful way of living and recreating.  Just before the virus hit, I was hit with a major decline...

It so happens that we sold our motorhome yesterday but not for any of the reasons mentioned in the article. Age and medical conditions sort of demanded that it find a new owner and so it has.  It will be the last in a line of 7 different RVs we have had since 1965. They didn't even call them...

Dutch, after several phone calls I was told I had to apply to VA which is what I did and was rejected - income given as the reason.  Tri-care told me straight out that they do not cover hearing aids because Medicare does not cover hearing aids.  I have no complaint but some of the things that...

    Well after reading through this thread I decided to try and sign up with VA only for hearing evaluation and hearing aids if needed.  I am a retiree so I draw a regular military pension but TriCare for Life does not cover hearing aids.  My application was rejected and I suspect it was for too...

Started at 10 at suggestion of my brother (so I could buy him a pack).  Went for 43 years. Quit 27 years ago but not soon enough.  Diagnosed with moderate COPD 10 years ago and I am well acquainted with the use of oxygen now.  I don't care what you do be it vaping, smoking marijuana, dope or...

Another tire pressure question if I may.  Due to tornado damage and repairs on our sticks and brick we have not hit the road this year at all.  The unit is still winterized from last winter but I do take it out on the road for about a 25 mile drive and run the generator/heater/air conditioner at...

A startling fact came to my attention today. It is not directly related to smoking but is worthy of mention here.  Missouri has had 42 drug overdose deaths so far in 2019.  But the one fact that caught my attention was that my neighboring city of Springfield, pop 160K, had 13 overdoses in one...

This is a fascinating thread and I just came across it.  Bill Waugh is, as usual, the most generous person on the forum.  But I have a question and am really confused on the subject of hearing aids.  I probably could use a set as my wife always complains that I have the TV up too high and I have...

Have watched the entire series on PBS and it was, as expected, fantastic.  Was disappointed in that some of my favorites were not given much attention and others who agreed to be interviewed were perhaps given too much.  Even a few I never heard of.  My only minor gripe is that, as Ken Burns...

Dogs have Masters Cats have Staff.

Killing the cat is not funny no matter what Europeans think. They always call us over to kill people for them.  But I don't even like seeing dead animals on the road.  Learned at an early age when my own dog got run over and I was depressed for weeks.  Now somebody try to tell me that the cat...

Common sense is no longer common.

I used to be a fan of that show Tom.  It is off the air now but one of those snarly guys died before the show ended - he is the long gray haired guy who traveled with a cat (or was it a dog?)...lol.  Anyway, I have a neighbor who does that kind of work now.  He and his son both have big...

I have to agree with several of the responses.  You are getting fixed what can be seen and, with RVs, there are usually a lot more unseen items.  I say walk.  The most disturbing part is them hurrying you through your inspection because the finance guy was ready.  Our policy on any new major...

That makes sense Tom.  Is there any way the date of an older post (say over 5 years) could be highlighted in red or something that may draw the readers attention.  No need to respond if that is not possible or feasible.  As you said it is a minor thing in the overall scheme of things. But it...
