Well if he was being pushed by hurricane force winds it could be possible. I would think you could shut the engine off and let the 75 mph winds push you north. Of course, after the eye passes the wind direction will change and you'll have a 75 mph headwind. There may be more than one typo in his post.

Yep, I remember and I somehow got what I believe was the only pull through spot. We went to some hole in the wall cafe on a bayou that had some good eatin. Glad they got the road paved for sure.

I know what you mean Herman, for years I thought I was being frugal until my wife convinced me I'm just cheap. Oh well!

Wow....sustained hurricane force winds in north Texas. I was 250 miles inland when the eye of Hurricane Ike came over and never had sustained winds higher than 40mph. Plus, I don't know how I could drive a high profile rv in a hurricane. 73 + mph: Hurricane Widespread structural damage; roofs torn off homes; weak buildings and mobile homes destroyed; large trees uprooted.

I think that's a given, are you trying to make another point that I'm missing? BTW, it took me a minute to figure TP was tire pressure. That usually indicates something else on my shopping list.

Now the topic has changed to wagering and beer, what will be next? I made a mistake and bought a 18 pack or I think it was 18 and had to throw the last 12 away because they went flat. Remember when a case of beer had 24 and now they call it a pack of 18. Of course the 18 cost more than the 24 did. I recently found a bottle of Markers Mark 46 that we bought during a Kentucky distillery tour some years ago, dang that's good stuff. I've since bought 2 more. Mind you this is strictly for cooking purposes. You see, I sip it will watching the DW cooks. Of course the entire time I'm thinking about using wash and wax or Bon Ami to clean the motorhome.

What about 9000# on the tag and drive 13,500#? Here again, I'm a novice but that seems way out of range. Like Joe said, I would be a little hesitant trusting Tiffin at this point. Newmar had a problem with front axle weights on the 2016 Dutch Star models and had a recall where they replaced the front axle and wheels. Please understand, I'm only wanting to gain more knowledge since I'm a first time tag owner with our Newmar. You mentioned mobile service being similar in cost to in house, I've never found that to be the case and most likely to find a qualified tech you're either going to a Freightliner shop or a major truck mechanic. I'll be interested in what you find in the Houston area. Please keep us updated.

I'm certainly a novice on this subject but I would be concerned with what damage, if any, has occurred in the 24,000 miles the motorhome has been driven with the weights so out of whack. Could the leak in the Allison be attributed to this weight issues? Personally, I would not want to drive the motorhome any further than absolutely necessary.

Lol....

Same on our Newmar.

I cautioned the new sheriff when he changed the topic to Bon Amin and now you guys are running with it. Shame, shame, shame....in my best Gomez Pyle voice of course. Reminder, wash and wax is the topic so just suggest using Bon Ami as an aid to wash and wax and you're covered.

I believe it is what most of my yankee friends refer to as a crayfish. The more refined southerners refer to it as a crawfish, thus, I refer to it as a mud bug. Sugar and gasoline are about the only refined things in my life.

BTW Joe, you get the best flavor when you suck the head of the mud bug. Oh, and it does appear in some lawns after one of our toad stragglers. Yeah....I'm gonna make you ask.

This year you'll need to go a lot further than Port A for meals, as of last week there was only one restaurant open and some of the others are no longer there. Harvey really did a number on one our favorite places. I'm sure by next year things will be much better. According to some of the locals, the problem is getting contractors, there is a huge shortage of skilled workers in the area.

Mud bugs, poor mans lobster. So that I remain on topic, best when eaten when experiencing cabin fever.

That would be a dangerous, aka expensive, place for us to visit but I sure would like to.

I posted the other day my interest in getting on the Verizon Mifi program but I had concerns about all the seemingly confused customer service reps when contacting Verizon. I had a private message from Dan Ball offering his assistance whenever I'm ready to sign up. I just want to say publicly, thank you Dan for reaching out and offering your assistance. It's refreshing to know someone in the puzzle palace is reading the forums and is willing to reach out and offer assistance. Goodness knows, we all are aware there are corporate lurkers monitoring the forum for political correctness posts so I find it gratifying when we have people like Dan not only reading the forum but offering their assistance. Thanks again, Dan.

I got cabin fever after 4 or 5 days of cloudy misty skies but solved the issue easily, loaded up the motorhome and drove three hours south to the Texas coast for a few days. I have a hard time getting my mind wrapped around having to winterize my coach in October and getting it out of storage in March or April. I've been blessed in the fact I've never had to winterize a RV.

It's towable. I tow a 05 TJ Wrangler Sport or a 16 JKU Wrangler Sport. Sport, Sahara, Rubicon are trim models.

Good deal.

Uh oh....I missed that option, Joe. On occasions I do hear various voices in my head however.

I love my beeper. I didn't realize how many friends I would make with it. When I recently left a campground early one morning, I had to back up a few times to get out of a tight space and every time my beeper came on people looked out their windows waving and shouting. I even had one man run out in his sleepwear to give me a friendly salute. It's a real ice breaker when arriving late at night or when leaving at the crack of dawn. You meet so many nice people when you have a beeper; it's just strange they often appear to be angry but I'm sure its only because they are jealous they don't have a beeper.

I could be. Pm me.

Yeah and I have a beep beep beeper when I back up, so there.

We would love having you.
