We are going to Canada next month.  We have a 31 foot class C towing a

Picked up my Tekonsha Envoy today...  Was going to do the Prodigy, but the
Envoy was just too cheap...  Got it for quite a bit less than most places

I think I'm ON topic with this one......
I'm towing a 2003 Coleman (Fleetwood) Carmel pop-up with a 2001 Toyota
Sequoia - does a great job. My question is regarding the load on the
Sequoia's alternator - it's rated at 150 amps (I assume peak max, not

We have DirecTV and have been thinking of changing to the Dish system.  Any
information, experience, etc. would be appreciated.  We've used our satellite
at home and in our Fiver on the road, but every time we have a problem (a lot
of interference during bad weather) and I call them ...

After having the hitch put on my the dealer I found out it is only
rated to tow 2K lbs and not the 2,500lbs. the manual says it can

I recently bought a used 2001 Class A Motor Home with the Ford Work Horse
chassis from a private party..  Because of local road conditions I was able
to test drive up to 50mph, and thought it handled well.  After taking
possession I have now been on our first trip on the interstate ...

Once again, I have recieved hate mail from an idiot who took offense at one of
my newsgroup posts.
Once again, I am informing anyone and everyone that if you would like to attack
me for something I have written on the newsgroup, ATTACK ME ON THE NEWSGROUP.

If a rural state like Minnesota has this much spare income to gamble

I've got a Chevy Impala (front wheel drive) that I want to tow behind
our motorhome.  What do you guys suggest?

   Getting ready for another trip, but wanted to ask this question, the max
volume on my laptop is pretty low and if I don't concentrate I miss some of
the instructions about turns etc.  What about those who use Delorme, have
you installed a speaker on your laptop and if so where ...

Just got briefed in our monthly safety brief at work that as of July 1,
it will be illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving (without a
hands free device) in Washington DC.  As far as I know, no states have
flat out made it illegal *yet*, I imagine some will follow suit.  I

Was at AAA getting maps and tourbooks for my mother, and found out
they have "campbooks". I got one, and it has some moderately
detailed information, and ratings, about lots of campgrounds. Seems
pretty cool.
