Got the tarp up. All by myself, as Mr. Gypsy in his wheelchair couldn't be
much help. He doesn't do much these days except target shooting.
The tarp went up pretty easy. Used some old tires under it for padding and
air space and to get the slopes right.  This is the best I've ever ...

Apparently Consumer Reports misrepresented what
the auto companies are saying about about tire aging.
GM says,

 Well,  Bob said his farewells,  and pulled out of Rancho dos Estrellas
this morning,  on the road for Los Angeles....
 He was "good company".  I gave him a tour of the area,  and he stayed
awake during my lecture on the local flora, & fauna...

Pulled in to a campground Friday night and the guy next to me ( ~35 foot

Why do so many in this group feel they have to degrade anyone that
post that they are selling their rig? If you don't like the rig or the

My 5er is set up for 50A. I ordered it pre-wired for a second airconditioner
which is not installed. All this talk recently about inverters got me
thinking about the wiring in my rig, particularly the 115V wiring.
Do I have this right?

Noted on our recent trip:
My brother thinks residents of certain States have an R or L printed
on their driver license, and that they choose which (superslab) lane
to use on that basis.  He may be right, but I gotta ask whether the
