    Mr, Rene, (Rainy) has some great news

    Huey and Rene, Thank you for your service and congrats on your 100%. It took me from 1979 when I retired with 30% until 2002 to get 100%. I got presumed cause from agent orange after arguing with the VA and Department of defense on the use of agent orange in Thailand. I controlled Ranch Hand as...

    Made in China

    Bill, In my travels, I have bought numerous USAF hats, some were made in the USA and some are made in China. I agree with you on the rant as I have been given some very thin cheap hats from China that are junk. I do have some very nice ones that are nicely made from China and many made in the...

    Uh Oh

    I have seen similar type situations in places a RV should never go. Most of the time it seems to be fifth wheels. I can say I almost got in a situation with my DP and toad. I was not paying attention like I normally do to my fuel gauge and let it get a little lower than normal in an area of the...

We see cold weather only on occasion but will get 1 or 2 days of cold at a time from late Dec through Feb. every once in a while we...

    TAILGATER DISH

    I used the tailgater as far west as Nevada and as far north as Wyoming with no trouble whatsoever, I am now using the G2 because I left Dish and started using my Direct receiver from the house. I do have a tailgater for sale if you are anywhere near Homestead, Florida.

    Florida Cold Snap

    5:50 48degrees in Homestead in the Redlands. Didn't need the heater this morning in the S&B but coming out the door was a shock. At 3:30 this afternoon it is only 49 degrees in the shade.

    First aid kit?

    Several years ago on the dreaded I-10, I-12 in Louisiana I had a tire go down and stepped out of the coach into a pile of fire ants. Fortunately my wife always carries Benadryl  in her purse. I was really having a difficult time breathing for a while. I wont go into the rest of this saga only...

    5th Wheel Rides nose High

    Rob, looking at the picture, it appears that the pad the trailer wheels are on is lower than the pad the truck is on. Need a picture where the truck and trailer are level.

    Toad Jeep Cherokee Overland, or what?

    We tow a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited and love it. Properly set up it takes less than 5 minutes to hook up and go. As far as I know, only the Cherokees had the "death wobble " problem. I would not tow a Grand Cherokee Overland myself with the air lift but that is my opinion.

    Tank dumping

    In my case, I dump my black, then the gray and finally run the flush in the tank till I am sure all the  hose is cleared. There is times I will only dump the grey as I do have a sealable slinky hose but I do like to make sure it is clean as possible. If I need to work on my valve, I will make...

    Buying older motorhome - what to anticipate ....

    The deal may sound sweet buy, as said above can you financially sustain a major breakdown or are you a mechanic who can do most of the repairs yourself. The 454 is a great engine but they do not store well. Valves tend to stick in the valve stems on that engine when sitting for long periods. It...
