This may help someone.
Recently our ten year old Norcold fridge, model number 6162 quit
working on electric.  Or rather, it worked intermittently.  It would
start to cool, then quit.  It worked well on gas.

I have a 99 Southwind with a Dometic 11 cu. ft. side-by-side freezer. I
normally leave it on AC, even when  I am home base with it.
I turned it off for a few days to clean it up, defrost it, and get ready for
a trip. I turned it back on and closed the doors but it does not seem to ...

Now this is living!

The bad news for the RV industry is that inventories are high, but

Hi Gang,
I'm in Lamar Colorado and a bus conversion just pulled in next to me.
It's not as interesting as the last two I wrote about it but it does
have one unique feature.

Most of you know that digital photography is one of my hobbies. Went into
Minneapolis yesterday and bought Mary a new lens for her Canon D60. It's a
Tamron 28 - 300 zoom and appears to be a pretty darn good lens. She had been
trying to use the G-2 but the shutter lag drove her ...

I slept on the idea of this post because I didn't want to rush into a
quagmire. Better to plod into one, I guess. <g>
IMHO, your response to Jan Orme comparing your behavior to that of a
rapist is not consistent with the latitude you claim as your own poetic

My wife and I and our 5 year old son are going on our first RV trip next
week. we have 23 days off work and were hoping to go to California (disney).
Now some say that is not enough time (coming from Alberta) but others
say that is plenty of time. We have never pulled such a such a ...

We are looking at a 28' with 78,000 miles on it. It seems like a good price
with a good warranty. Can anyone tell me about their experiences buying a RV
from Cruise America? It is a 2002 with a Ford V10, and when I test drove it

at a Wal-Mart, and I don't criticize those that do so in a responsible manner.
(What is "responsible parking at Wal-Mar" is ...

We're heading for NS in a few weeks. I don't care what their camping
policies are, so that is not part of my question.
We will be there for between 2 and 3 weeks in Aug and I'm wondering what
part of the NS is a must see? I know I want to see the Bay of Funday, but
