If you're interested in seeing the Whooping Cranes, they were almost extinct just a few years ago, dive out to Goose Island State Park and instead of turning right to the park turn left. towards the the Big Oak Tree. When you get to12th St, turn right. At the Oak Tree, on the right there is a large field. Drive to the end, turn right and keep looking to the right in the field. Often times the Whoopers are in this area. Turn right on 11th and there is a home on the right with a large corn feeder, there may be Whooping Cranes and Sandhill Cranes in there waiting for feeding time. The cranes stand 5 ft tall and are white. The Sandhills are much shorter and will appear to be gray.

6 hours ago, manholt said:I found no ref. to this event. Houston Chronicle or any of the media outlet's. Unless Jim S. want's to verify via Harris County Sheriff or Fire Dept. or Park Service...I call it a publicity stunt, by YOLO Tech.
However and for what purpose it was done, the coach in question, is a FRED, with the touchpad for the Allison! Also, a Toy Hauler!
You either didn't bother to read the article or you don't know where Lake Sam Rayburn is. The Harris county sheriff's dept or Houston fire department would not be involved. The link I provided is KHOU-TV, channel 11 in Houston. It was covered by Beaumont, Tyler and other tv outlets. Various print news sources also reported it.
The owner is a fairly well known bass tournament fisherman.
Google "motorhome sinks in Lake Sam Rayburn". Can you point out where the statement about stunt dogs was used, its not on the link I provided that I can find.

How warm is it inside the rv? I don't believe an absorption type refer will work in freezing temps or at least not effectively. If the temp is -14 and the rv is outside, I can't imagine the inside is much about freezing, if that.

But a fun song...
Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one she paid it for the limeShe put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put the lime in the coconut, she call the doctor, woke 'I'm up -
That door latch is prone to failures at the most inopportune times. If it fails and your inside and have the tools inside you can easily remove the latch and open the door. This is the reason I always leave one window unlocked so if needed, I or someone can climb inside to open the door. I will never disclose which drivers window I leave unlocked either.

Wayne needs to recommend so places to eat back on the mainland. He didn't get the nickname Mister Round for nothing.

What they need to ban is the stupid handlers that bring the live mascots face to face. One mascot comes to mind, the University of Houstons cougar, Shasta. Bring Bevo face to face with a live cougar and see who backs down. Its just hard to cure stupid.

This is what we used when double sided tape wouldn't work.

Roland, I'm assuming you will take the free Bolivar Ferry across to Galveston and not come all the way in to Houston. Take the Hwy 124 exit at Winnie.

That is the product we used to replace emblems and its the product the OEM emblems come with, Joe.

Have you considered using double sided tape and eliminating the bolts?

HardiPlank is a fiber cement material siding. Great stuff for home building.

I'm glad they used the membrane rather than felt.

Hail will do considerably more damage to an asphalt shingle roof than a metal roof. Hail may put some dimples in it but rarely will it puncture a hole like in standard shingles. My ranch house had a metal roof and they used a rubber membrane between the decking and the metal to keep the condensation from getting to the OSB decking.
Its going to look great when finished, Eric.

This is a hard test. What is the question? Please come back Danny and let us know what the question is.

Bill
I am all electric, Bill. Magum 2000 watt Pure Sine Wave. I know it powers all 4 TV's and their components, refrigerator and microwave. Plugs in master and half bath, 2 plugs in kitchen, the computer work station plug, driver dash plug. I've never tried the induction cooktop.

Maybe the 66,747 is the number of members to join the forum since the existence of the forum. In my wildest imagination can I believe 66000+ members would join and only a small fraction ever have a question or comment.
There are 15 members currently signed in to the forum.

23 minutes ago, hermanmullins said:Jim, is that 8 batteries on one or two inverters? Carl has 8 batteries with two inverters with 4 batteries each. I am not sure how long they last without recharging. I believe each has designated items they service.
Herman
8 batteries on one inverter.

Same here, Joe. I participate in three different Newmar forums because nobody know my motorhome as good as somebody that owns the same.

Exactly, each rv'ers results will depend on how they use their energy. We had a gas stove and oven at the time but I'm sure the induction cooktop I have now would draw down my 8 batteries pretty darn quick, if it will even operate off the inverter.

From my actual experience, I could run my Samsung RF197 along with the miscellaneous other power draws for 24-36 hours on 4, 5 year old house batteries.
This thread is turning in to another "this is what I have and its the best" thread.
Things I would like to see from Factory

Where would you suggest they place them? All of mine are easily within arms reach. What year, make and model motorhome do you have?
