elkhartjim replied to jerryth52's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
Some body shops and some U Haul places can install. Have you contacted Lazy Daze or some local RV dealers for recommendations? -

Navigation Apps -- Which are Best?
elkhartjim replied to fagnaml's question in Destinations/Attractions
Curious Bill, why don't you recommend the RV version of CoPilot? I use the Garmin 760LMT, Google maps and Truckers Atlas. Trust but Verify. -
Kentucky and Tennessee Bourbon Tours
elkhartjim replied to prism16's question in Destinations/Attractions
After about 4 distillers and visiting the sample rooms in each one, a wise person would call a cab, Herman. -
Kentucky and Tennessee Bourbon Tours
elkhartjim replied to prism16's question in Destinations/Attractions
Parking may be an issue at some of the distillery's. -
I would suggest calling your current insurance company asking them what they recommend then shop for the best policy. Is HMO the kind of policy you have a primary physician that has to refer you to specialists.

Allowing Towables Vote At Indianapolis In July
elkhartjim replied to jeff753's topic in FMCA Feedback
For me personally, talking up FMCA is not a high priority when we travel as matter of fact I've only discussed FMCA once and that was a few months ago when I performed a completely unscientific poll of 6 people in a campground. None of them saw any benefit except one may join when he needs tires in three or four years...if he remembers. One had the goose egg the previous owner left and didn't know what it was and said he would take it off when he returned home. As I recall, they all were Good Sam members. Thats my bloviating for the day. Goodnight John Boy.... -
Allowing Towables Vote At Indianapolis In July
elkhartjim replied to jeff753's topic in FMCA Feedback
I drive a lot in Texas, it takes me two days to get out of the state when we do our out of state trips. Texas being the friendly state it is we always wave when meeting another motorhome or trailer, 95% of the motorhome drivers wave back and maybe 5% of the trailer drivers. I can only guess why. Carl, maybe they are trying to increase revenue so they can increase salaries keeping the bottom line zero. It doesn't matter which non profit organization it is, they all seem to have hidden agendas which typically leads to money going in someones pocket. Once I got involved in the real financial part of the American Cancer Society I was appalled. I attended some unbelievable parties and banquets, all first class expenses paid, to discuss how to raise more money. I soon realized each one of these events probably cost over $250,000, I resigned my volunteer position. -
Air Force 1 vs Roadmaster Brakemaster Systems
elkhartjim replied to punxsyjumper's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I installed the M&G on a 2009 Chevy Malibu, a 2005 Jeep Wrangler and 2014 & 216 Jeep Wrangler myself. Like Herman said, give Monty a call with any questions. -
Air Force 1 vs Roadmaster Brakemaster Systems
elkhartjim replied to punxsyjumper's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
M&G Engineering braking system is a truly proportional braking system and only requires an air line connecting the MH with the toad. Since we don't know which MH you have this information could be useless. You might consider adding your MH info under your signature. -
FMCA & Verizon Offers Specifics?
elkhartjim replied to smitty777's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
Darn it, Bill, I knew the Russians were involved. Do you have a reliable source for this information? Maybe it will spare Herman the water boarding. Hic....hic. We're out of water. -
FMCA & Verizon Offers Specifics?
elkhartjim replied to smitty777's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
Too late, Brett. The water boarding has been scheduled for midnight tonight. The mob will have the needed information long before the doors are unlocked at the FMCA office. The secret handshake will be shared for a small fee. I'm convinced its the key to obtaining the information on the Verizon plan. Herman has gone underground since the mob started gathering but never fear, we'll dig him out of whatever hole he has chosen to underground in. I will soon be headed to Natural Bridge Caverns to see if he's there. The mob is getting restless plus they are using the water boarding water to mix cocktails. Oh dear! We may need additional members for the mob so come one come all. All you need to know is the secret word to join the mob. Two more weeks before we hit the road....stircrazy may be worse than cabin fever. Come on Herman. Tell us what the secret handshake is so we can send the mob back home because they've about drank all the water boarding water. -

elkhartjim replied to smitty777's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
Accomplish. Just as I was afraid, one of our own is part of the conspiracy to keep secrets - especially revealing the secret handshake. Shame, shame, shame. Think Gomer Pyle. I bet if we get you out behind the barn and waterboard you you'll squeal like a pig. We'll get the info needed without involving the politicians because we know how busy there are running for re-election. No special prosecutor needed, Kay, as this will quickly turn in to mob rule. -
Cross Country Trip, Reservations Yes/No
elkhartjim replied to Bob26894's question in Destinations/Attractions
Another consideration re making reservations would be if your travels fall on holidays. July 4th and Labor Day can sometimes be difficult to book on short notice. Have a great trip. -
FMCA & Verizon Offers Specifics?
elkhartjim replied to smitty777's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
I find it interesting, according to Smitty, there is information about this plan on "two different forums" yet there is nothing on the FMCA forum. Apparently there is a serious leak and this should be investigated thoroughly by Congress. Oh, and the perpetrator/perpetrators should be beaten with a wet rope until a full public disclosure is made. If poor Noah reads this forum he'll probably call in sick tomorrow or at least be prepared to keep the phone glued to his ear all day. Herman, I'm right there with you on todays technology; once we moved past two cans with a waxed string I became lost as a goose. -

Canton, TX "Trade Days" & Mill Creek Ranch RV Resort
elkhartjim replied to fagnaml's topic in Campgrounds
We went one time in August. 105, no breeze, no shade except in the un-airconditioned sheds with no breeze and people stacked like cord wood. That was the only time it took us less than 4 hours to see all of Canton we wanted to see. -
Black Tank Set Up At Campground
elkhartjim replied to Vegasmailman's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
I average 15mpg with or without a head wind. 9 on motorhome and 21 on Jeep. It makes me feel better to say I get 15mpg. -
Just as an add on to Brett's information. When you have the MH weighed, have a full tank of fuel, fresh water and loaded with the normal "stuff" (food, drinks, clothes.etc) you will be traveling with. I assume carrying 1000# of animal feed is not typical but if it is, load that also.

We stayed at Las Vegas RV Resort on Nellis last March. As I recall it was around $35/night for a pull thru.

Its the best place to stay for Trades Day because they shuttle you to the grounds. Two key pieces of information: the place is huge and it will hotter than hot in August. -
Allowing Towables Vote At Indianapolis In July
elkhartjim replied to jeff753's topic in FMCA Feedback
As memory serves me, on our recent trip I talked to 7 people, 2 were young. One had a FMCA goose egg and didn't have a clue what it was. The previous owner left it. None of them saw any value in belonging to FMCA. Everyone of them did belong to Good Sam as I recall. -
It activates the flux capacitor, if the original purchased opted for high dollar option.
