the program run ability.
I have found that Cable connection via Wi-Fi is the ultimate.

For those of you want a quick and dirty look at the price

We are a retired married couple from Switzerland. Four years ago we
bought a Motorhome and spend each year three to six months in the USA.
We have a laptop with us. What is the best way for us on our USA
journeys connect the InterNet?

One thing I miss on the road is my garden.  I do have a bamboo that is
doing well.  So I decided to buy a couple tomato plants and put them
in a properly sized pot, in hopes that we can eat some fruit in the
future.  Curious what kinds of things others might grow while they

Don't worry, I'll be back at work on Monday and the questions will slow

Thanks to you guys, I've got most of my electrical confusion resolved.  Of
course, there's always more.

Problem;  Brake are always on
Light (red) on controller always on, when key is on.
Brake lights on vehicle are not on.
Controller is HOT.

Storage space is at a premium.
Disposable income is at a premium.
I hate to buy something in quantities I don't need (can't stand it that my
wife buys everything at Costco).

OK we are narrowing this down more.  Is Hwy 13 between Grangeville and
Kooskia suitable to drive our 38 foot motorhome with 20 more feet of toad?
Street Atlas suggests going north on 7 and then taking 162 east into Kamiah.
My navigator says she has driven these roads and Hwy 7 is ...

Need a big truck?  Truck bed has fifth wheel so can not put much in it?
5ivers cost more that TTs?

After many years of towing tagalong trailers we've decided to buy a 5th
wheel trailer. Maybe someone here can answer a 5th wheel question that
I have.
Is there a relationship between the weight of the trailer and the pin

I have found a neat stove that I now keep several of packed in my Hurricane
survival box. These things will even burn rubbing alcohol besides any other
alcohol., that you should also have in your emergency kit.
Interested? want to take a look?

I posted this previoulsy, so some of you may remember it.
1997 Dutchmen Classic GL 5th Wheel - 27 Foot.  Large slide out, very
clean, fiberglass siding, TV, VCR, Microwave, large Frig, sleeper sofa,
plus more.  Sleesp 6.  New tires, battery, and water pump.

Today was 24 miles. Moved from the Oakwood RV Park in Clear Lake, IA to the
parking lot of the Winnebago Factory Service Center. 30 amp service only.
Instructions were to come in with full water tank and empty black and grey.
We expect to be here for 3 days max, but if we're ...

Plan to take 55 north of Boise to 95 to 12 to Orofino, and then 12 to 95 to
Couer d'lene.  Anyone been that way lately where they could comment on road
condition.  We are 62' feet long.
