over full. oil is very thin and smells like gas.
  any suggestions on where to start looking for a solution? the fuel
for the genset comes from the motor home tank.

I have a friend who is presently in rural north-west coastal
California.  He has an EvDO card/service (I don't know the details)
and he can only get a usable signal occasionally.
Goggling, I found:

So I started the install of the US Gear tow brake tonight on the Vitara. Got
most of the work done on the car part and just need to run the wire and
attach the controller in the MH. It actually went pretty well. The
instructions are very clear. The only issues I've run into so ...

Well, friends, today was the day. Fuel prices were down a few cents to
$2.79 and the heavy Chevy, a/k/a National Interstate, needed to have its
tank topped off. Barry pulled in the slides, hiked up the jacks (which
he fixed with the new part, a lot of muscle and a little more ...

I bought a used slide in pop up truck camper.  I have no experience with
truck campers.
To lift the camper on and off the truck there are three hand crank jacks,
two on one side and one on the other. When the camper is raised high enough

Worrying about if we'll have enough money to fill up our RVs, SUVs, etc is
inconsequential compared to the hell that will be when we reach Peak Oil.

More crappy weather in a week than we've seen in the last 6 months.
Arrived in the orchard about 1720 Wed.  Arms felt like boiled spaghetti
after fighting the wind all day.

Hello people,
I have been thinking about someday traveling in a small RV.
I would like to get possibly a small one that could sleep 2.
Maybe one that could get aprox. 15 mpg??

If every one has made their way back to their northern
abode, what is your final numbers? MPG. total gallons used
overall miles traveled. Any other interesting expenses incurred.

The price of gasoline has not had any effect on American consumption.
Americans love to cry gas prices - but Hummers - SUVs - big motor homes
- gas guzzlers - are selling like crazy.
I believe that gasoline will have to go up to $8.00 a gallon before

I plan to store cans of gas in a cargo box attached to a flatbed trailer.
Sharing the box are tie down straps.  Does anyone KNOW if the gas fumes
could weaken the straps?  These are the same sort of straps that truckers
use to hold down their loads that I bough at Sam's Club.

maps.  I don't think GPS maps will ever compare.
With that said, for the sake of using a little less paper and needing a
little less storage space, I'm wondering what the consensus (could there be
