I receive the east and west coast networks in my RV.  For some time now

I lost my awning 'cause i was too CS to go out in the lightning and put it

A friend of mine has a Holiday Rambler 1997 Vacationer with a 454 V8
engine.
The generator is an Onan Marquis 5000 which he took the rig to Cummins

Starting tomorrow we are going to be surrounded by friends for nearly 3
weeks, and then with Family for 3 more. I don't expect to have time for
the newsgroup, but one never knows. I may pop in from time to time. Or not.
This will be strange. I haven't skipped more than filtered ...

After days of cool/cold, wet, overcast weather, summer appears to be in the

This area looked like a ghost town last weekend.  The motel had all of THREE
rooms rented.  Normally it would be booked solid several weeks in advance this

I went to pick up my Motorhome from my property where I keep it.
It only had 1/2 tank of gas, so I went to fill it.
Well, gas started running on the ground.  I stopped the pump and climbed

I have a 1968 13' travel trailer; the previous owners didn't use a
battery, just shore power.  A little over a year ago I had a trailer
shop install a battery and connect all the wiring for towing and for

Our congress-critters just voted, along party-lines or course, to NOT ALLOW
OIL DRILLING in the 50-200 mile off-shore area.  It's okay for the Chinese &
