That may be true. Maybe someone else can elaborate on that issue. In any case it is good to hear the bad and the good about a company. It at least gives one the ability to make a decision of choice. Thanks for your post.

If everyone is taking the loop doesn't that open up the straight thru shot!

Carl, just add one more thing, a full size picture of yourself standing behind a grill. If the face doesn't kill them the size will. (Can't wait to meet you someday.)

I'm not Bill, but if you need anything holler, 'cause I'm only 14 or so miles from you.

Which Bill?

ROFL!

Well Carl, most of the Texas critters are to big to crawl into the hole anyhow. But that aside, how did you like my suggestions.

Consider all the aspects of a security system. Then consider the reaction time if you cell phone goes off, police are notified, etc., and by the time that is done the thieves have broken in, stole some valuables, did some damage and have departed. Personally, security systems keep the honest person out, just like locks on doors. However, what are thieves fears. Bright lights and loud sounds. A good lighting system and a loud siren or klaxon is a big deterrent. Once the lights come on and a loud sound is heard they typically vacate the area and look for easier pickings. Now just figure out how the light and sound comes on. Is it the opening of a door, window, compartment, etc., and how is it enabled or disabled. Besides the 80 lb Husky, here at the S&B we have an alarm system. I just received a letter from the insurance company to show a certificate that indicates that all the windows and doors have sensors on them. What! Why would I go through all that trouble. I have sensors in a few places, including one for glass breakage. So those windows that do not have sensors on them will set off the glass breakage sensor should they be busted. Okay, let's look at it a different way. Someone pries the window open, busting the poor locking system designed to keep honest people out, and enter the home. The motion detector will go off. Trust me, if any of the sensors are activated there is a loud piercing sound letting anyone know the alarm has been activated, plus a phone call to the alarm company. I have another device that if motion is detected it notifies my cell phone also. I primarily have it to laugh at the dog cause I can talk through it also. Drives her crazy and keeps her alert. Security alarms are overrated in my opinion, and a way for distributors and alarm companies to make a fortune. So think it through before investing a lot of money. Consider a different campground if you don't feel safe. JMHO p.s., speaking of compartments, how many items are stored in there that any thief could re-sell at a flea market. Not a lot of valuables until you add it all together. Just a simple screwdriver will gain access to any compartment.

Regarding the critter guard, I'm not familiar with it. However, just thinking it is a device that fits around the hose to keep critters from coming up when you are camping and an idea pops in. What is the requirement of a critter guard? Could it be a piece of heavy rubber that is placed around the hose covering the hole? What about a piece of thin sheet metal that has a hole just the size of the hole, slit to the middle of the hole and slipped around the hose. Just thinking out loud. (One of my biggest problems.)

They make 8 and 10 inch deck plates. Would enlarging to one of those sizes solve the problem?

Glad you got to see the River Walk. Don't forget the next time in the area of San Antonio to see all the missions (San Antonio Missions National Park Service). Since you took in The Alamo, you have seen one.

Rochel, Another reason to carry vaccination papers, and sometime medical records, is in case there is a need to go to a veterinarian. They will ask about shots and sometimes require proof, especially the military veterinarians. Regarding medical records, if you pup has an ailment that is being treated and maybe recurring, the new vet will want to know what prior procedures/medications have been used.

Joe, so sorry I missed replying to this post. I don't have my MH handy to check but it was a Watts regulator. The first one I went to Lowes and purchased the parts separately and put it together. I used it up until just a few months ago. It is big and bulky. I found one that is all contained in one including the gauge for around $80, about the same as the one I put together and the new one is a much smaller foot print. I have it set to 50 psi and so far do good. The new one's Manufacturer's Number is: A01-1116VP A01-1117VP or one that looks very similar to that . (Google is your friend) mwilson, it may be that the filter is good but the in line regulator is set wrong or bad. If by in-line regulator you mean the little 4" like this one "regulator". To me that is just a "water restriction" device and is supposedly set for 40 psi. The accuracy of that type "regulator" has been questioned by many as to whether it is 40, 30, 25 or 50 psi.

Carl, I didn't know this thread was that old (as Herman) and I never take what Herman says seriously. I guess I need to read from the top down, eh. When you coming back to wonderful Texas.

Wow CaptKelly, my experiences are just the opposite. When we purchased our 2008 I acquired the GS Extended Service Plan, including seals. To give you an idea of how many times it has been in the shop, DW gave it the name "Citrus." I have had thousands of dollars of repairs done and GS has come across each and every time. About 6 months ago 3 of the leveling jacks were replaced along with the hydraulic pump and 4 solenoids. Basically almost a system rebuild. GS covered all of it and my only part of the payment was my deductible. I truly believe that the way to a good claim is all in how the service department writes it up.

They should have the leveling controls near the stove, but, I use the floor by the leveling control box. Then, first time DW cooks she will let me know it's not level and I bump it according to her wishes until she says "Okay!" (That is when my leveling jacks are working.) Hey, I am master of my RV. Whatever my wife says shall be done!

You need to come down our way, along the Gulf Coast. Our hills are freeway overpasses. I hope you had the opportunity to get to San Antonio and the River Walk. I think Carl overstated the percentage that you had seen.

I was picturing you as laying down on the floor and seeing which way you rolled. Oh well.

Rochel, Welcome to the forum and thank you for the link to military bases. Since you apparently are a military family, yes, take documentation for the pets. All of their shot records. If you decide to stay at military installation, many require proof of vaccination and ask for the paper work. Make some copies to give them should they ask. Since you are just over 1000 miles from Miami you may be passing some military installation that have RV parking. They are good secure places to stop for the night or a couple days. Go to this web site to see if there are any along your route. Military Campgrounds If you meander to either coast of Florida you will have a few opportunities to stay at them. On the West Coast, the children would like Pensacola and the opportunity to see the Blue Angels practicing 1/2 mile from the campground on base. If you go to the East Coast of Florida, Mayport Naval Station is at the mouth of the Saint Johns River and they can watch the big ships coming and going. There are other military campgrounds along the way. Enjoy your trip.

Carl, after 55 years of togetherness, she won't leave! I have this fear. My first wife will divorce me and the second one will not. Rochel, Welcome aboard.

Just be careful how much soap you add. Picture this: Riding down the highway at 65 mph and the roof vent is blowing bubbles.

My DW is a year younger than I am so she goes up on the roof. KISS. I have pictures to prove it.

Well, in my case the Coach. That's why we named it Citrus. Naw! They taught us to shoot when the target was not near, but when near to sneak up and use quieter methods. Hey, if you have either without the other you can just throw it, or, stop, and say "Wait a minute and "watch this.""

Well, the slingshot will get you some distance, but a handful of those same steel balls thrown like a baseball will repel most on-comers. Besides, I still have the 80 pound Husky. Hee hee.

Blake, that would be a funny sight sitting around the campground. Drink a little water and blow bubbles. I do believe in the Calgon in the black tank. Been doing that for 8+ years and I don't have a problem with sensors. Dumping is a s..m..o..o..t.h. operation.
