Anyone have experience with GPS Navigation software made for Smartphones or
PDAs?
I am looking at TomTom, EMTECH, SA2007 and trying to find a solution for my
Treo 700p.  It's a Palm OS phone (hence the p at the end of 700).  I'll use

DOG an me made our maiden voyage to the island and was definitely
disappointed. Who ever manages the public works over there must stay
drunk during the summer and decides to tear up the streets during the
visitor season. At least the LRGV hiway commission listened to me in

Anyone done long time boondocking or very cheap camping in Mexico
recently that can recommend some places within a days drive of the
western/central border with USA that:
a) are pretty much hassle free

You know, it's always possible that you and your family are attacked
by jihadists. Gunmen, suicide bombers, all this typical raghead stuff.
So what can I do to fight against terrorists who attack my trailer?
How can I create an armored trailer? Where can I install weapons?

I have a Chevy Silverado 4x4 that I use to tow my 24 foot Komfort
trailer. The truck is a 2002 and still has the original tires. Tires
still have good tread, but today I noticed some sidewall cracking. All
4 tires exhibit this.

The other day, as I was fillin' "the big dog", a guy at the pump behind me
came up and asked if I was using any "cold weather" additives?  I told him
no, I didn't think they were needed; and he proceeded to 'splain to me how

We are planning this summer's trip.  One of the places we are going to
visit and do some sightseeing is the south eastern corner of Utah.

highways US-191 and SR 95.

Just something for fun to pass the time.

Any RORTer living there?

What's the best Trailer to drive up and down the Eastern Seaboard from
Gaspe' CA to Key West, Fla. It will need to accomadate two couples and
hopefully be able to cruise safely at 55-65 mph?
I have no experience with trailers and even less choosing the

Can't bring up the web site.  No listings on vs. channel.   Has the show
gone belly up?

Just read Jim Corey's post and he closes listing his Lil
Corvair Coupe a 'toad'.  As a real 'car' guy, I just can't
get used to [more like stomach]the term.
 My cars have always been 'girls'.  Damn nice ones too.  My

I'm a new owner of an older RV -- it's an Empire 5th wheel manufactured in
1992. The seals around the windows, cargo doors, and fixtures is cracked and
there's some evidence of leaking in a one cargo door. I think I'm lucky
there's not more leaks.

John, I thought I had saved the post where you mentioned a recommended
vendor for the Engel fridges but it's vanished somehow.
Would you please share that information with me again?
Thank you and Happy New Year.
