Does anybody here like to boondock? I've been camping the Southern Sierras
for 30 years in a tent, and know some pretty good spots. Some have water,
some have dumps, and all are free. Now I do pay, even in a big tent,
sometimes (the beach mostly), but my favorite times are when I ...

Anyone have experience with converting an older AC system from R12 to R134a
refrigerant?
I'm puzzled by the lack of concern about recovering the old R12.  I have
talked to 13 repair shops so far.  Not a single one is interested in

We had a service plan for our appliances with Good Sam. we traded the
Fifth Wheel for a Motor Coach.
When we contacted them to cancel the plan they wanted $50.00 to cancel.
I thought this was an insurance plan and if you don't pay you lose the

A few years ago I saw an article about diesel VS gas, and the break even
point (as far as money) was "X" number of miles per year for "X" number of

Has anyone been into Mexico and used satellite radio?  We are off to Mexico

Anyone been there?

Have had Verizon for quite a few years and now that we have switched from
"fulltime" to "half time" travel and our house is in Extended Network
between towers, Verizon says they can't support our service.  In your
travels around the country, does anyone have TMobile to tell me ...

My 1986 Mallard Travel Trailer is parked under a shed roof next to our
pole barn.  I have a small septic for cleaning the tanks.  Also, water
and electric are hooked up to it.  A person in our church is in need of
a place to live for the winter (which in Michigan can get very cold),

Ok, this is the way it usually goes.  After finally getting Firefox
configured the way I wanted it, I mentioned to my son-in-law that I
really liked the way the tabbed pages work.  First thing out of his
mouth is: You haven't used IE V7 yet, have you?  It does tabs.  

Let me get this straight:  You spend about 40K on a nice 5th Wheeler; You
spend 40K on a nice truck to pull it; You spend no telling how much to
furnish/outfit your rig to your liking; You pay extra insurance to cover all
your new toys, and then you want to take it to a secluded ...

I currently live in a dodge titan - lovely bus but little on the small

I had a weird thing occur. Maybe someone knows the answer.
90 Bounder, Onan NHE, series E 6500 watt jenny, 2 Coleman AC's.
On shore power, of course, run only one jenny at a time, and the usual
front/rear switch. On the jenny, run both AC's at the same time.

I'm a bit under the gun timewise and I'm not current on all the
goodies that are available this week.  I'm hoping some of you folks
will take a minute to make suggestions.
I'm refitting a 1967 Travois 14' camp trailer for four-season

Hello - I've been considering running an electric outlet to the area on
my property where I park my 2005 Jayco Travel trailer with the idea
that I could start up the fridge before travelling or run the AC while
we clean / pack.

So, I have this 1967 Travois 14' camp trailer, actually 11' of trailer
and 3' of tongue.  I'm in the process of updating it.
It has an in-floor propane heater.  Never saw one like it before.
It's a Carlson Model 108C "gravity floor furnace".
