My husband did as you suggested and tried to find the brake light switch. He
found it but it was inassable without taking the entire dashbard apart and
out of the van.  It could be seen but not reached. It couldn't be reached
from either the cab or from under the hood.   He put a ...

Hey "Hamster!" are you readin' here...?
If you are, what's your take on the Stone Brewing Company's "Arrogant
Bastard Ale"?
After you ran me around looking for that "Killian's Brown...", I took a

How many hours are the usual Onans good for?  
What number should cause me concern when shopping for older
motorhomes?  
I've seen ten year old units with anything from 128 to over 500

After finishing my business in Houston last Friday, we decided to make the
run down the coast to South Padre Island, rather than hang around the

Cuba.

I'm looking at an attractive 26 foot Tioga that has no obvious
physical faults.  In the kitchen, however, the original floor

This retirement stuff is killing us so we took 2 weeks and camped,
You gotta take care of your self right?  Got to take a stress test
tomorrow so I am rested up more or less.  Just a little over 3500

Lazy Lady, being of, ahem, mature years, has a small problem with her
fridge shelves.  They seem to be aluminum and are rough and possibly

Dometic, Brisk Air, 13,500 btu. The TT is plugged into a 20 amp socket in

Years ago when the kids were young we had a popup Apache, but have not
camped for 30 years.  So the reason I started following this group is to
learn more about trailers.  And buy one in a year or so.
I have some land where I built a garage/workshop with a bathroom and

Thanks to everyone for all the tips on the AC problem. Like I said, I feel
like Peter, the wolf guy. After posting the question the AC finally started
working without tripping the breaker, and has been doing so for the past

Following the speech the President made last week, the price of crude
oil has dropped and locally gas has dropped to $3.83/gal.
Went for a long drive yesterday and plan on another today.
To speed the economy along I've been shopping on line.  The postman
