Well one good thing that might come out of the high gas prices with
less people traveling may be the campgrounds that band us because we
travel with our old fat non threating rottweiller.  Instead of telling

I got my primary laptop back from CompUSA, running fine, so the
back-up Presario is once again my wife's domain, where she busily
practices her slot machine techniques.
Tried all your suggestions (for which I am deeply appreciative) to

BC Ferries today published the Summer schedule for its Northern Routes.
Modifications to the schedule were made necessary by the sinking of the

I have a class A MH with Michelin tires sized 235/R80 22.5 XRV. about
2  1/2 years ago I bought a replacement tire for $225. They now are
asking $340. I'm I being taken for a ride here. Also, what the pros
and cons of changing brands?

When I start full timing next month I'll unplug from an ISP and will depend
on WiFi along the way.  Is there any way to stay plugged into newsgroups
this way?  Some of you hate my musings and politics, so you'd no doubt

We've been looking at new rv's that would be capable of taking my wife and I
to the National Parks in the west. We've got modest needs; a small
toilet/shower and a place to cook and eat and look out the window.
Refrigerator would be nice too.

Just how practical is it to pull a toad behind a 5th wheel trailer?
A motorhome is not in my budget but I have a Chevy 2500HD Duramax/Alison and
currently pull a 23' trailer.    I would like to occasionally bring my Jeep
along when we go camping and am thinking that maybe getting ...

You know those air beds that you blow up and sleep on
say for camping or company?
If yes.... how are they?
Ay brands or sizes to consider?

Plenty of power, Very reliable, good drive train, all self-contained.

TIA,
