Dropped off the motorhome at 0700 this morning and they finished
everything in one day.  We were surprised.  We will probably hit the
road tomorrow after the rain has moved through.
Toured some of the 2005 models at a local dealer today.  A 38B model had

I have installed S&T 2005 on my Dell lapop with win98se. (Meets all
S&T system requirements).  I am using a Garmin etrex GPS with it.
When I click "Track Position" the little car icon tracks just fine for

Nice job on the debate Mr. Cheney.  It is just polite and customary to thank
ALL the parties involved and not just the moderator.  If Edwards wasn't
there, you wouldn't have gotten a change to spout your NeoCon rhetoric.

On our way to Moab, we stopped over-night at the Moose Lodge in Grand Junction,
CO. Our intent was to make two short drives out of one 175 mile drive.
It turned out to be one of the best accidents of our travels so far. First, we
were close to a Circuit City store, so we went in to ...

I'm pleased to pass on to all of you who helped convince me that solving the
internet/e-mail thingy while RV'n might be the DirecWay Satellite system. IT

My 5er is 7" above the tonneau rails at the closest point. I want to raise
my kingpin to get the trailer to tow more level. The next (and last) notch
is 1.5" higher so that would leave me with 5 1/2" clearance. Anybody have
opinions as to whether or not 5 1/2" is enough in ...

have the trailer in my drive, the trailer is level. The approach from
the street is angled (up). So...... how hard is it to hook up when the
