A couple of years ago I belonged to Escapees.  I dropped my
membership when it became clear that I was never going to stay at
any of the parks or take advantage of any of the usual benefits.
Nothing against the organization, just never used it.

I see where you got yer undies in a bunch again.

decency to offer as much  as a "good luck".

A recent post of mine asked about Verizon.  I'm actually locked into
Cingular until December.  Can anyone recommend Cingular for web surfing
while on the road?
Thanks

Well, as fascinating as the WalMart shooting and WalMart Parking topics have
been, having made my share of pointed, yet meaningless contributions, I feel
the need to contribute something RV related, even something superficial.
So, believe it or not, summer is coming to a rapid ...

I'm sitting here going into the second hour to tech non-support trying
to get a friend's National Access connection going.  He has an LG
phone and the mobile office kit.  We've installed the software and are
at the point where Network connections is asking for a username and

We'll be heading back home today from being on the road several months and
our friends/tenants who stayed at our home tried starting our car in the
garage today to make sure everything was cool.  Unfortunately, they said it

I'm kicking around the idea of converting my GMC/Izuzu medium duty
truck into an RV.  I love the way it drives and the great gas mileage.
One consideration is to convert the existing box into a "toy hauler"
configuration, with the front being the living section and the back

We just got back from a week long trip from Brentwood, Ca to
Port Townsend, Wa in our 2006 Chevy HHR Toad. We went
on this trip for fun and business. Fun with friends in PT and
business doing research re: building a home on the lot we

Hi Gang,
Patti came home with the coolest stamps, my immediate thought was all
RVers would want to get them.
They are called Wonders of America

Heading out tomorrow morning to visit our son and his young family in
Norfolk (Navy).  This will be the first long distance test for the little
Sprinter.  The only problem with a small rig like this is the lack of extra
storage space for "stuff" and for items like a new highchair ...

My name is Jillbe, and I am new to the group. I am way into RV and tent
camping, and have been to 36 states so far on my travels. I love free
camping the best though, which is prevalent where I live in the Pacific
Northwest.

If I was them, I wouldn't worry about it. The next hurricane season is
approaching. If you aren't out of a FEMA trailer by now, it just goes
to show you why you were slow getting out the first time.
Hurricane victims: FEMA trailers made us sick.

Last night, about 10:00 or so, we had a great lightning storm to the North
of us, that then moved in a SE direction, and passed over the hills to the
East of the RV Park. I put the wide angle lens on the camera, set the camera
to manual, and manual focus. Set the shutter speed to ...

I'm curious how many of you RV owners have and use
solar cell panels in your RV?
What do they power and how easy has it been?
What type of lighting in the RV do you have? LED?
