I think the charger part of my power supply/battery charger is acting up.
When the unit was new (1999 Terry) the unit never worked and was replaced
under warranty.
The company that made these is no longer in business. (Todd Engineering.?)

We've been spending a couple of months each year in the U.S southwest - have
done this 3 years running now and just love the area.  We live in Toronto,
Canada so the south-west is a long way from where we live.  To keep in touch
via email with people back home, I've used Internet ...

Not a bad idea and costs nothing to do:
"Following the disaster in London, The Ambulance Service have launched
a national "In Case of Emergency(ICE)" campaign with the support of
Falklands war hero Simon Weston.

Are there any good free standing RV covers available? The ones I have
seen have metal poles for the structure and either white or silver
material to create the shade. I don't like the idea of a cover actually

I'm relocating from the Northeast to the Jacksonville Florida area, and
I'm planning on making an RV my new residence. I've always wanted to
get a motorhome or trailer, and this seems like a good time to do it.
Is anyone familiar with trailer parks in the Jacksonville area? Are

We don't have reservations anywhere in the Klamath Falls area for 7/9

and Redmond. We do have reservations at Redmond starting on Monday..

Cranked up the anchor and hit the road at 0720 this morning.  Knew it
was going to get hot and windy later.
Stopped to dump and get a water fill and still arrived at the cabin at
0945.  While Esposa got a fire going to make hobo dinners, I set up

What happened to Bubba, Ehcorp, Tyrone, and JFR? Could they be the same
person? Did their trailer park get hit with the hurricane? Either way I miss
their unput.

It would seem so.

I'm replacing the shocks on my Arctic Fox as one had bled to death and they
are all pretty well stoned (no paint and lots of little dents).  Does anyone
care to comment about a favorite brand/style (of shocks)or something to stay
away from (again, shocks)?

My neighbors and I live beyond cable or DSL broadband. Satellite is the only
option. Today, my neighbor got a dish setup from Direcway and invited me to
share the feed via/wifi. I tried using my Orinoco Card, but can't get a
strong signal/connection. Do I need a patch antenna? Or ...

Recently I made some comments about the price of propane.  Today we
experienced a new high of $3.50 per-gallon.  
Normally we would not have paid that much but these were not normal
circumstances.  We were in the state park campground on St George

I am planning to drive from Anchorage to Denali and then to Valdez via
the Denali Highway in the last week of August.

to Whittier and then drive.
