*Three* bad tires.
About 15 miles down I-10, I detected a slight vibration. Having experienced
a tire about to shred a tread, I stopped to check.  Sure enough the right
front trailer tire had a disconcerting bulge.  Put the spare on.  Proceeded

Wife isn't interested in traveling at all. She would rather play in
her garden. I'll be going maybe a total of 30 days a year.
I've looked around but don't find a trailer floorplan what suits me. I
would like a bathroom where I don't have to shave with one foot in the

Got your hello from Bill. Thanks.
We'll meet up some day and share coffee.

Hi Gang,
<sigh> If it's not one thing, it's another.
When I left Helen Georgia this morning I had trailer brakes. I did
what I always do and punched the controller when I started to roll...

I recently had to replace one HWH slide solenoid and a leveling/jack
solenoid plus an equalizing valve.
Both were replaced with remanufactured solenoids.
I have several questions:

Is it possible to visit the Bisti Wilderness and the Kasha-Katuwe Tent
Rocks with a 25ft Class RV? I want to go at April or May.
Is it allowed to stay overnight at the trailheads or near of them.
I know rental companies don’t allow driving on unpaved roads. But if

Lon, has the parking committee made arrangements for the local farmers to
bring in their big tractors for those rally goers parked in the infield?
It's *raining* here in Shipshewana!   LOL
Cliff in IN - at least the Prez ordered good weather for "His" Chapter VI

I just got back from GM dealer.  Was looking at a 2008 Duramax.  He asked me
about what I was pulling and I told him I weighed it at 17k with truck
attached.  Figured it was a 12k trailer...give or take.  I did not have the
ticket with me and my memory was probably faded.  But ...

Approaching retirement and would like to buy or lease a motorhome
and tour America.  Here's the catch:  My wife and I would like to
do this with another couple -- wife's sister and her husband.
I have searched the newsgroup and the web, I have looked at the

We are traveling from central BC to Yellowstone National Park, leaving
September 5th.  We are on a trip from the west & hopefully travel as far
east as New York City, then south through, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma (see
the memorial), Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico & end up back ...

GMC duramax and Montana 5th wheel. When towing I was told the rv battery is
being charged from the GMC.  If this is true when parked and rv and GMC are
still connected will the rv discharge the GMCs batteries?? If the rv is
plugged into power will it charge the GMCs batteries???  ...

A few people, Will for one I think, has made the conversion to a
regular home type frig, in their Class B's, and maybe other classes.
How valid is the following story as to credability or possibility? We
were discussing the alternatives to repair or replacement of a Dometic

Looking forward to our first time snowbirding with a MH and am puzzled
why mapping services (AAA, Map Quest, Yahoo, MSN, etc) all seem to
favor the Florida Turnpike over parallel route I-95.
What am I missing?

My inverter was used last weekend.  When started it charged the batteries on
the fifth wheel just fine and ran lights, etc.  However when I tried to run
the microwave it bogged down.  The book said to turn off the inverter and
restart it.  This took several tries before the ...
