OK, so we got to Las Vegas on Wednesday. All set up in the RV park and
looking forward to the kids getting in. They all arrived in schedule on
Thursday and we went to lunch with Daughter, SIL, and Granddaughter at noon
Thursday. Out to dinner with the whole group at 6:00 that ...

I have a Toshiba Satellite 1900 laptop and want to access WiFi for internet
at campgrounds etc. Looking for a good reliable, fast PC Card. Suggestions

We are likely going to be new Workhorse owners (Winnebago Sightseer).
One concern we had was service on the engine, transmission, and
chassis.  There just aren't as many Workhorse authorized service
centers as there are for other products (like the Ford).  We like the

    Boy just got the MH back home after replacing the camera, putting in a
new Signal Amplifier for the TV and repairing the Motor AC and doing a
Lube and Oil Filter thing and now I get a Code 2 on my Norcold Fridge.
Not sure if anything is wrong as the Fridge was cold in both upper ...

There is a 1991 Class A motorhome for sale.  I saw it parked in a
strip mall lot.  I called the owner and he said it's a Thor.  I could
not see any labels or logos or anything to indicate what model, or
even if it's a Thor.  I looked in the front, the rear and both sides.

We are in the planning part of our summer vacation and would like any advice
we can get.  Late July would like to head to the Grand Canyon from Denver,
with our T.T.
   How much time would you recommend?

In case some of you need to be reminded of how old you are,  the
Lackland AFB website has created a link for BMT Class photos from as

in excellent condition.  The wife, the dog and I plan a trip from
Michigan to Nevada this summer, to visit my son.  I plan to tow the

I pinged Ralph because somewhere I got the impression he used a Mac
OS.  But this is a question for anyone who does.  I asked this first
in an obscure thread, but got no response, so I thought I'd try again
on a broader stage.

Can we also talk about tent camping and ask question about camping ?

We are having trouble with our Dometic intermittently shutting off
while only while the coach is going down the road.  It must be turned
off and reignited to start again.  Anyone have any ideas for solving
this problem?

I have just purchased a used V-10 Club Wagon and plan to use it to get
to campground.  In the past I've been using a cooler.  Now would like
to know if I can use a mini elec refrig plugged in using a converter.
The refrig is available at Home Depot.  The people there do not know

This may not be the most appropriate forum for this question, but I
think some of you might have the answer I need (or want).
I'm on a small quest to convert the front passenger seat of my 1991
Toyota Previa van into a swivel/Captain's chair, so I can tunn it
