    Winterizing - Antifreeze vs. Compressed Air

    After draining the hot water heater and blowing the lines, it takes less than a gallon of rv antifreeze. I figure $2 is very cheap insurance. Hint, a tip i received from this forum is to hook up the water pressure regulator in with the air compressor adaptor. That basically guarantees the proper...

    water from ac

    After 10hrs of heavy rains, and the ac runnlng, we started to get a consistent drip inside through the central ac vent. we were heading home soon and after packing up and driving home, the drip stopped, even after more heavy rain. Climbing on the room, there weren't any visibly noticeable roof...

    ford f350 and ac compressor

    I tow with a '99 Ford F350 V10 and in June while traveling south my AC stopped working so my family had to endure 90+degrees to/from mammoth caves, KY to cincinnati. Hoping to find a simple solution, I found this web page that solved my problem for $4.99 plus 15 minutes of my labor. Our next...

    "Ain't no need to replace 10yr old tires"

    I'm relatively new to trailer towing but about 3 years ago, I bought a 2004 travel trailer. It had the original tires. I ran with them the first year then replaced them the following year, even though  they looked fine and had plenty of tread. I figure, $300 or so on tires was very cheap...

    Gas vs Diesel for towing vehicle

    I towed a tt with a v8 explorer for a couple of summers. I didn't like it much. An under sized and under powered tv is no fun. We now have a 30' fiver and I pull it with a '99 f350 drw v10 gasser. I'm loving it. Went to disneyworld and the combo towed fantastic. Diesel would be nice but I...

    seat comfort on long drives

    Let me correct my post :-) I took 2 days to drive 900 miles - 450/day. If I only stopped for gas breaks, I would have stopped every 3 hours but with kids, it was more like every 2 hours. Even still, constantly adjusting the seat and shifting my arse around, it's still a bit uncomfortable. I...

    seat comfort on long drives

    I just completed my first real long drive towing - 900+ miles and was wondering what one does for lower back comfort. My drivers seat has lots of adjustments - lumbar, angle, etc but the lower back was never quite without a bit of discomfort. I don't have a seat warmer. I'm curious what others...

    disneyworld

    fort wilderness is very nice. I think we paid $70/nite sun-thurs, checked out friday. We have a 35' fifth wheel and a f350 crewcab long bed. We fit on the pad. Our site included cable tv. Wireless internet was an additional $10/day. We didn't add that. there's always something to do at the...

    Jim, I'll definitely provide an update to Fort Wilderness. Everything I've been told is it is awesome and even nicer than the Disneyworld hotels. And Wiz, thanks  for the Macon bypass ( I 475 ) info.

    Another Computer With The Same IP address.........

    duplicate ip addressing ultimately will force both computers off of the network. it's the same as having two houses on the same street with the same address. running windows, you will want to get to a command prompt - click on Start, then type in cmd on the blank area that allows you to type...
