advice. It was recommended that I buy Trailer Life's RV Repair And
Maintenance, by Bob Livingston. So I did.
I didn't read it from cover to cover, though. I haven't got that kind

anyone know who manufactures the seats used by Roadtrek?  I am looking
to replace the seats in my van (Mark III) & like the full reclining /
swivel idea.
If you have replaced your seats and found a good deal / supplier - let

In the past few week I have noticed "No overnight parking" signs at
several WalMart stores in Colorado.
The other thing that I have heard is that WalMart is going to make a
big push to get move RV and Truck tire business.  That should help

Anybody but me thinking there is something fishy about the FBI exposing two
plots to wreak terror in the US?
You dont suppose that these stories are set up to convince us that we are
being protected by very early intervention in terrorist plots.  So far we

I tried to start the generator and get a clicking noice at the starter
(remote starter switch). I get a clicking noice. I have 12 volts from
the cable coming from the motor  home and when I hit the remote starter
switch I get 12 volts at the starter. I took the starter out and ...

This is by no means a new idea, and I just searched and saw that it has
been posted as recently as 2002. The idea came to me on my own shortly

orfice on the fridge to run it on gas at the high altitudes.  With the newer
units is this still needed?

We are looking at a River Canyon made by Travel Supreme.  The dealer has the
model
we want on the lot but it doesn't have all the options we want.  In case we
decide to order,

I am having problems with my 3000kw Onan on the motorhome. When I try
to start the onan it starts and runs fine. But as soon as I leave off
the starter button it dies. Will not stay running.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Hi - we drove a little while with the parking brake on and now it is
stuck. Friend advised to remove driveshaft - is this something that is
easily done?  I've searched for some diagrams to help but cannot find
any.  Help?

Re recent rants by Pirate John and his sympathizers:

I have a 30' 5th wheel trailer and I would like to bring a golf cart
with me when I go camping. Does anybody do this. If I had a platform
welded on the back of the 5th wheel would that be too much weight on
the rear. Anybody have any suggestions besides buying a toybox.

Report coming out of Thousand Trails is that reservations are down,
but didn't say by how much. If that system shows a decline in useage,
