Here's  hoping you all die a slow, miserable death. Especially Carl. You are
a sick f.ck, You all are. Get professional help. Before it's too late.

I had planned to take I-90 the whole way, but our schedule loosened.
Anybody want to suggest any preferred roads between northwestern RI and
Niagara Falls?

Lads & Lasses,
We are very far along on downsizing and at this point have decided to buy a
park model but not a lot. We have in mind a small canpground to rent/lease a
site. This will give us a choice in the future if... .  The attraction is to

A nearby RV dealer has a 26' Holiday Rambler TT on their lot and claims
it is a "new" 2005 (having arrived last summer).  The MSRP (they say)
is $24,433 but they will let it go for $22,143.  Meanwhile, the NADA
internet Ave. Retail for this same 2005 trailer is $15,940.  (Low

I did a bit of research for a friend earlier today regarding the Lowrance
iWAY 350c GPS.
Found it on sale at buydig for $373.00. I'm not sure what the MSRP is, but
this isn't a bad deal.

Does anyone make a good smartcharger that will work for RV's?  My coach
has the 4 coach batteries and 1 8D engine battery.  Curiously, the

but I've never experienced any problems on my rig as a result of brown
electricity.  There are surge protectors out there costing several

Yet another dumb newbie question...
I've been wondering what to with the battery when I'm storing the
trailer during the winter? It does get charged up when we're travelling
but there is no electrical hook-up in the storage lot. All the dealer

You missed the adoption ceremony yesterday. Cliff & Marie became our
parents, which makes Lon & Carolyn our grandparents!
For you non Escapees, a tradition at local chapter rallys is that 1st time
attenders are 'adopted' by chapter members. The main purpose is so that you

We stopped in Coburg midday yesterday, with an appointment for annual
service on our engine, and generator, and biannual transmission
service at Cummins NW. Planned to spend the time geocaching with
friends while we were here, then head up to Cecil and Linda's for a

It is my understanding that the common dogbone adapter to plug a 30 amp
RV into a 50 amp service (if we'll ignore the recent "selfish site
choice" thread for a moment) uses one hot leg from the 50 amp service,
leaving the other unused.

Well, we're out of the Gunnison area. We've been over there for 18 days, and
left Lake Fork RV Park this AM at about 11:00. We made the drive from Lake
Fork to Montrose, a distance of 49.8 miles, in one shot, so we're a bit
tired from that ordeal.

Heading from IL to the west coast with a
31 Class C motorhome and a toad.  Here
