I"m gonna build me one of those!

Carl, y'all be careful and get it taken care of. Get Linda a cane and it will help with balance.

Worked on doing a little organizing of the MH bays this morning and removing some items that have not been used in years. When I quit at 12 p.m., it was 90˚ with a heat index of 104˚. Stay in Florida Joe.

We are trying to leave hear on July 1st...heading North, but Joe is a lot cooler than we are here in Texas City. It has been in the high 90's with heat index around 108...wish I were in FL. Nice looking place Joe.

Yep, Coca Cola may work, but also try Bounce Dryer Sheets. Wet window, clean with dryer sheets in sections and rinse off. Might ahve to use a brush with soapy water but usually the dryer sheet material will rinse off. Use them on Telephone Bugs (Love Bugs) all over. Call the telephone bugs because they are always hung up.

The Studebaker Museum in South Bend was very interesting. I used to have a 1950 Studebaker. Never new if it was coming or going.

Ray, I understand that but it seems to shift faster to the next gear and it does as you say, staying in gear longer. At lease with my system it seems that way. I'll break out the Freightliner manual and give it a SWAG.

As Bill stated. The economy mode is just to let the transmission shift a little faster. In the book they mention that in hilly or mountainous country to not use the economy mode as the transmission will be shifting more frequently. I have not noticed a difference in fuel economy using either mode. As stated, when going up steep hills down shift to a gear that will maintain about 2000 rpms. This should keep the engine temperature at a reasonable level. With my other 340hp MH there were mountains going west where I was at 25 mph and some times a little less and in 2nd gear. "The journey is the destination," enjoy it.

Herman, the Instant Pot can be used as a slow cooker. I have done baby back ribs many a time in the Instant pot (IP). Only difference between mine and what Kay has is that after the 30 minute cook time in the instant pot I put them on an oven sheet, top them with BBQ sauce and place under the broiler to caramelize the sauce. What Kay has could be better for RV travel as it will save the convection oven from getting splattered during the carmalization. Both are limited to how many you can do at one time. My 8 quart will do 2 to almost 3 racks. The saute function has 3 settings, low, medium and high so warming can be done. They also have WiFi capable IP's so you can start your meal from sight seeing. I make a fabulous clam chowder in my IP. Here is a good link that I use for some recipies: Pressure Luck Cooking p.s., a 3 or 5 pound pork roast is about 50-60 minutes and is finger licking good for pulled pork. Here is a good link on using the IP as a Slow Cooker

Yes, I have seen those and seen YouTube videos but for now I'm going to stick to my two pots and especially the griddle.

With no wheel on the back of the SUV I'm saying it is photo-shopped!

We take a few frozen left-overs with us but mainly cook fresh things. We have an Instant Pot, Air Fryer, and Blackstone 22" Griddle. The possibilities are very large with those three appliances. The left overs would be for the one night stops.

I can't quite make out what is wrong with the rear wheel on the SUV towing the man cave.

We have used Bank of the West a few times and their rates and customer service has been very good.

I"m not sure if Android has the same capability, but Apple TV will Mirror an iPhone and no wireless network is necessary. It does it strictly between the iPhone and Apple TV. There is an app for the Android called AllCast that will stream from phone to Apple TV. Not the cheapest way to get it done, but ATV is a one time fee. I don't know what AllCast's costs are. Search on "How to Connect Your Android Phone to HDMI" without the quotes. Here is One Result

Oh come on Bill, you must be over 21!

It's all about today's permissive society, and the bottom dollar. If you do not get satisfaction from the owner/manager, be sure to leave a review on Campground Reviews. Be honest and review both the good and bad things at the campground. Many in our world visit camground reviews before booking reservations, or stopping. My pet peeve is dogs not on a leash or tethered.

If'n you are a hankerin' to use duct tape, go with the Gorrilla tape, it should last a few more seconds. If'n you are going to replace it, heat it up before you bend it.

I'm pretty sure Rich that they knew what was meant, but yep, happens all the time. Same with fuel savings programs.

Bill, maybe a glue gun for re-fabrication.

Trust me, even the owner's manual may be incorrect. I once had a suspicion and contacted the manufacturer of some car (way back when) and they said it was not towable 4 down and that the manual was a "cut and paste" from the previous year and they they were correcting it. So be careful. Best to see if anyone else is towing it.

Thanks Herman. He is alive and well, even if he doesn't have a pulse. He is kept alive by an LVAD and is doing fine. They moved from Arkansas to Florida and are loving it there. He is active and about, just has to stay relatively close to a hospital that can cope with the LVAD.

Thank you for serving Kengineer. You MOS is in the same category as Carl and me. My MOS 2691 when I retired.

Yep! My MH policy states that I have to check on my MH every 2 weeks or they are not paying. I'll wager my life insurance policy has some provisions also..I'm going to be dead so I'm letting DW tend to that!! 🙂 I personally have a friend who used the FMCA Assist. He was from Arkansas and vacationing in his RV in Florida. FMCA Assist provided a Lear 125 hospital equipped flight for him and his wife back to Arkansas and provided for the transportation of their MH back to Arkansas. Well worth the yearly FMCA fee of membership. Yes, there are exclusions but all in all it is a good program in my opinion. I'm just not planning on using it any time soon, but I'll keep my menbership.
