One of our favorite books and audio tapes is Blue Highways by William Least
Heat Moon.  Both always stay in the rig.  Your writings are every ...

My wife and I have been pop up tent trailer campers for some time, and
my wife wants to upgrade to a motorhome but we don't have lots and
lots of cash.  A dealer in town has a motorhome on consignment that is
a 1990 Coachman Catalina 29 ft with only 37k miles.  It also has

I've picked up a macerator pump that I'll be installing in the MH in the
near future. I know some of you have already performed an installation

on installation and use of the pump.

   One thing that continues to amaze me is the difference between the
personalities of people who post on the newsgroups and the persons I have
met face to face.  I have been lucky enough to meet a few of them and have
enjoyed visiting with them and found them to be very nice ...

   Well my Antenna gave up the ghost on our last trip.  Tried checking it
out with the digital but for some reason could not get a good reading so
ended up totally confused as everything seemed to be working right!  But
today I went out and did another check with my analog meter ...

I have just about had it with direct tv, they just can't seem to be able to
get my bill right.  They keep charging me for late fees that I don't owe and
I can't seem to be able to convince them of this even with proof of payment
date and amount.  I was just wondering if anyone out ...

I posted a message about Good Sam discontinuing me in June and could not
find it but here's the deal.
I got a letter in April that said my use of the service was "unusually high"
and to please check to make sure that my card wasn't fraudulently used.

Well, I did a killfile on all of the OT posters and it works very
well.  The only problem is there are several out their posting their
political dribble without prefacing it with OT.
It has been said that ignorance is just a lack of knowledge so I guess

I am trying to figure out what kind of vehicle we need to buy to tow a
Surveyor (model SV263) from Forest Line.
My question deals with trying to figure out the weight of the trailor.
In the brochure it says - "total dry weight - 3882", "load capacity -
