We have spent five winters in Texas and have barely made a dent in the things that one could see. I concur with everything mentioned so far and have seen many of them-some like the Admiral Nimitz museum of the Pacific War are worthy of many visits-but one intense day will bring that heroic...

This story just came out locally---no cure for stupid--you are always at the mercy of the most incompetent. http://www.swiftcurrentonline.com/local/31016-serious-accident-at-walmart-parking-lot

Found Covenant Hill rv park near Otisville MI. Didn't have water or sewer completely going yet but they did have electricity. Now I won't have to run the Alternator all night to keep the furnaces running. Seems it is still too early to expect the parks to be open in the upper midwest. At least...

Does anyone have a recommendation for this area? Have a favorite at Holly, but we will be going through Grand Rapids and want a direct run to Sarnia /Port Huron. Driving a 38 ft class a with a toad so would prefer a drive through and decent access. Thanks

We have just completed this route. Last spring we returned via I-8 to San Diego, then up to 210 around (more like straight through) LA. Hell on wheels! This fall we took hiway 99 south from Sacramento to Bakersfield, then east on 58 to to Barstow, south on I 215 to 138 to Indio and on via 111 to...

What we really liked about the 378 was the divisibility of the motor home with the hall door so both my wife and I could have "space', I can watch TV as late as I want! Really enjoyed the the major living space-since we full time, It prevents a lot of "tunnel fixation" and make a very good...

We drive a 2008 Georgetown378XL. First with your concerns, that v-10 is a real puller. It is pretty close in performance to what the 362 hp implies. Close to most diesel pusher except some beauties with 500-600 HP.Weak point with a gasser is lack of air brakes and a Jake Brake - don't leave home...

Don't laugh, but we stay at Jellystone Park where there is a small contingent of Winter Texans. The staff are phenomenal and the owners try there best to make it a family park-the "happy hour" is from 3-4 under the big oak and is coffee or tea only which tends to raise the calibre of the...

At least in Canada, all Kraft cheese is not processed cheese-Velveeta, Cheese Whiz, pre-packaged cheese slices etc are not real cheese but are a way to put palm oil into what once was a healthy food! The brick cheeses are authentic. In Western Canada we have Kraft, Black Diamond and Armstrong...

I am on the buffing team! In the words of C.W.McCall "fix her quick with an oily rag and other than that it is cherry!" Most times a person gets away with a lot of mistakes-too heavy, weight imbalance, too fast etc but there is always a moment of truth. Have towed a lot of machinery a lot of...

In the fall of 2011, my wife and I headed south to find some place without snow, stopped for what was to be a week in the Hill Country of Texas near San Antonio-we didn't move the coach till we went home in the spring and we will be going back for our third winter this December. The Texans...

As a Canadian that enjoyed our travels to big bend in 2012, i concur that there is lots to see and do. What we did was park at the Lost Alaskan in Alpine Texas, a little cooler than down by the bend. Also Alpine has a great Pizza place and other eateries to round things out. Went out at Sunset...

Well, I may as well try to divert this thread a bit myself. As a winter Texan I am frustrated by HEB and its reluctance to carry "as American as apple pie" brands. Try buying Kraft Cheese, any brand of creamed honey or more than a dozen other national brands that are the standard even in Canada...

Most filters on medium duty diesels of this sort SHOULD have a safety element as a separate unit within the primary element-when the restriction indicator ,shows red you have the choice- clean the primary element or REPLACE both - the smaller safety element should never be cleaned. The primary...

Hello again Brother Bear and thank you for all the help you have given me. Sorry, but I can't be much help with your current problem but I want to blast all the posters of snarky comments here. To those who might care to know, Brother Bear is a Kansas farmer and also a lay preacher who in his...
