Combustion Chamber of Horrors

Posted by AndyShane in AndyShane's Blog, 12 May 2013 - - - - - - · 193 views

Our Aqua Hot was a little smokey. Replacing the nozzle and filter, along with checking the output pressure, didn't do the trick.   The exhaust can be tested, easily: hold a paper towel over the end for 10 seconds, note the pattern. What finally reduced the smoke was adjusting the air intake bypass, a slot cut in the intake pipes that overla...

I promised some RV stories. Well I found a few. I doubt they are true, but they may bring a smile.   A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the very same RV park where they spent their 15th wedding anniversary a decade earlier. Because of hectic schedules, i...

Another season ends

We are currently in Elkhart, IN on our annual fall weekend trip with Sandy's cousin and her husband.  The trip down on Friday was a beautiful fall travel day with puffy white clouds scattered around bright blue skies.  But the weather forecast called for conditions that reinforce October's standing as a risky time for outdoor activities--rain, on and off...

Wow! Can’t believe it is almost August! Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! Since my last blog entry we have traveled from Kartchner Caverns, Bensen, AZ to Phippsburg, Maine. Had a pretty good trip across country even though we took a dog leg route to Forest City, Iowa to Winnebago Industries to have a few things checked out...

Do Not Accept Bad Service

Posted by GenericET in GenericET's Blog, 22 July 2012 - * * * * - · 273 views

I have made a lot of mistakes while starting this hobby of RVing. One of which is trusting a little too much on what salesmen tell me. I hate to burst anyones bubble, but not all RV dealers are honest trustworthy individuals. I guess it is a flaw in my character that I assume people are telling the truth and doing thier best for the customer. Here is the...

We've been at our campsite in Thompson Creek, Washington, where we have been Gate Attendants, since May 19.    This is our first time full-timing and mostly it's been okay ... if you consider that literally half the time we've been here it's rained! Man! We left the high desert of northern...

Over the years, I have done a lot of camping with my family, kids, dog and friends. With the kids, we have enjoyed a lot of under the tent camping, all seasons, including winter camping in the snow. As the years have gone by, we also tried, Rental RVing, in class A, in a class C, with a folding camper, but at years pass by, definitely nothing is more comf...

The attached map shows our track and stops so far. We are at Lake Whitney State Park to spend Thanksgiving with a cousin.  The campground is top notch for a state park and filled up rapidly yesterday.  It will be interesting to see the cooking that occurs today.  There are bound to be a lot of deep fried turkeys.  There is a burn ban so there will be no o...

This is my first attempt at blogging.  We have been a member of FMCA for so long that I have forgotten when we actually joined. We still work so unfortunately we don't travel far from home. We do like to visit the Georgia State Parks. Today the storm (Lee) has moved out of the area and the temp during the day is just fabulous for camping and riding wi...

This is my first time blogging.  So here it goes.  We are heading to Texas this winter for the first time.  We have heard that it is very nice down there and the people are very welcoming to winter Texans as I guess we are called.  We have spent the last five years of your motorhomeing for the winter in Florida, however, we thought we needed a change this...

Lost laptop on Highway 64 South near the Grand Canyon

Posted by heidileej in heidileej's Blog, 01 July 2011 - - - - - - · 148 views

Hello! I left a black Dell laptop on top of my car Monday, June 28th at Mather Campground in the Grand Canyon.  We drove from there to the visitors' center and then headed south on Interstate 64 South, headed for LA.  I am thinking I heard a noise half an hour onto 64, and in retrospect, I am guessing that may have been my computer falling.  If anyone...
