Every American-branded car in my extended family, with the single

Anyone try movies on-demand with your laptop while traveling?
I'm impressed.  I've run a standard SVGA cable to my HDTV along with a
3.5mm audio cable.  It's like watching a regular DVD. No limits on how
many you watch using Netflix.. No, I don't own any stock in Netflix.

My central vacuum system is installed. Wow, what a treat! That thing
makes short work of cat hair and pine needles and I should have done

Well, here I am after a few days of time away. Still alive, still well, and

to Arizona Charlie's in Las Vegas for one night. Miles for that day, 356. Up
early this AM and on to Ely, NV. Total miles for today, 242. Here in Ely for

Thought I knew everything about everything..  then this..
I have my toad wired not through the toad wiring, but a complete
separate harness from the RV to a single 2 stage bulb [1157] on the left
rear and right rear..

I was wondering if anyone can point me to a good site where I can look at RV
capable routes. Is there anything like a mapquest yet for RVs?
I am going to rent an RV again. (We didn't buy one yet after our first
rental although we have the RV fever) I have to go up to Vermont from

Does anyone make (or has anyone made) a power tilt for solar panels?  I
