Carl, we will be in Burnet th3 18th through the 22nd at a Texas Boomer's rally, then we leave for Bryan.

Good morning Ernie. I'm lurking, or was until now. Heading out in a week or so, going to a Wedding in Bryan. Looking forward to it. We went out for 10 days just before Thanksgiving of last year and it was like staying home as far as COVID was concerned. Mask, distancing, take food in, and other preventative measures. We have both had our COVID vaccinations but we will continue the good practices. How's things that-a-way?

Also remember that many of the owner manuals are a cut and paste from past year manuals and does not necessarily mean it is really towable. As Five said, check with the manufacturer.

My front plaque is in the very low corner on the passenger side and doesn't block anything. Might be a perspective of a LEO and how they feel on any given day. We have traveled through 47 states with no problem. For the rear we use the Kiley Mold holders

Check with the campground manager, even at the military parks. If it is allowed they may have a list of contracted vendors. Private CG's usually have business cards.

Richard, In the Houston area the TOLL and HOV lanes are the same. The only item different is the entry point. One lane will be HOV and the other TOLL, then they merge into one.

Do some research as there is something about just being registered on the "other" system than what you have.

Carl, Are you in the MH when taking the HOV?

The Houston area combines the toll land and the HOV lane in some areas. There are two tag entrances, one for HOV and one for TOLL. If you don't have two+ in the vehicle you have to either not use that lane or have a toll tag and use the toll lane. If you don't have either you don't enter. Most of the roads around here will have signs that state, "No vehciles over 1 ton or towing trailers." Or some type of words to that affect.

I would suggest an LED Lantern. Better safety over oil/fuel, lower battery consumption and brighter light. images At a rally a friend had one that he tied a rope on and hung it high in a tree. Provide a lot of light.

River Ridge KOA, used to be New Orleans KOA East. We have stayed there twice. Easy access. Looks to be in a "bad" part of town but never had a problem in the park.

Ross, he know not what he speaketh! 😀 He even has me confused!🤡 I had to look it up: "An old Rancher is talking about politics with a young man from the city. He compares a politician to a "post turtle." The young man doesn't understand and asks him what a post turtle is. The old man says, "When you're driving down a country road and you see a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle. You know he didn't get up there by himself. He doesn't belong there; you wonder who put him there; he can't get anything done while he's up there; and you just want to help the poor, dumb thing down.""

Rented a house in Virginia once and the owner had insulated the attic. Insulation was the type with paper backing you could staple to the joists. He took an extra step and did the inside of the roof stapling it to the runners. Talk about a well insulated house. Construction now-a-days is poor by comparison of yesteryear standards. My son's house spring a leak from a broken pipe. It was on the patio side of the house. When the plumber came and fixed it he corrected the problem of the pipe runniing along the brick on the inside of the outside wall. Another friend had a leak in his attic plumbing. The pipe was up against the eve before it went down into the house. No insulation on either one's pipes.

Poor construction is a very contributing part of the frozen pipe problem, however there are steps on can take if no power. Turn off the water at the city main. If you don't have the "T" handle a crescent wrench or channel locks will do but easier with the "T." Open all faucets in the house, both hot and cold and let the water drain out of the pipes. Reverse the process to get things back to normal. People sometimes just don't know what to do so the word needs to be passed in the neighborhoods. It is also the process that should be used if the city is on low water pressure. How many will do it? Not many.

Ross, you don't need to spell correctly for us to read. Here, try this: 1N73LL1G3NCE 15 7H3 4B1L176 70 4D4P7 70 CH4NG3. See, easy!

I wasn't going to admit it, but if it wasn't for Herman I would have never known what HP 4X was!!🤡

They didn't say, just did the mount and test drive. I'm not sure if any load could be put on tbe flat bed!

What's photo shopped? Part Duece Anything is probable

I'd have it confirmed by the insurance company. p.s., and then I'd ask for a mock up policy to look at.

Previous MH was 13'4", and present one is 12' 11" and 43' towing a Lincoln MKX, and we have been to the West Coast several times. I have been on roads that were definitely not designed for motor homes, but we made it. Albeit slowly sometimes. Back in those days we did use the Interstate and there will be no problem in using them. Just watch for those yellow height signs that give the height of overpasses. Check "campgroundreviews.com" for other camper's reviews and warning about access. It has been a good source for us. Do your homework. Example would be Traveler's Word RV Park in San Antonio. You need to follow the RV Park directions as that RV park has roads leading to it that have heights of 13'4" and railroad crossing that will cause you to be a SEESAW if you try to cross. The campgroundreviews.com will list if the campground is "big rig" friendly, but when I call to make a reservation the first thing I ask is, "Can you handle a 43' motorhome towing a car?" You are about 8 feet longer than I am, towing. If they say no, I call the next place, and yes there have been times when they say no. Many of the Federal and State parks were developed when campers were 20 feet long so in both private and Government campgrounds always call and ask and check the web sites.

You can also try Catherine's Landing RV Resort or Downtown Little Rock RV park. As stated Cloud Nine. We have stayed at all three. If you pull up a google map of the area/city and in the Google search line put int "RV Parks" without the quotes it will show you all the RV parks for that area. Another way is to go to "campgroundreviews.com" and look at the area you want to be in.

Our storage area would not be able to handle the Aqua Hot Elect and burner so we took her hear from the house and plugged into 60 Amp. Two nights in a row the temperature went down to 19˚F. I had the inside thermostat set at 62 and the basement Aqua Hot rheostat set to about 50. I used a thermal gun on for the inside of the basement and when I checked, wet bay was 38, Aqua Hot bay 45, and opposite side of the MH below the half bath was 35. Parts of Texas City were without electric, but we never lost power. Had some friends come over for dinner and showers - as the house is always on open invite any time of the year. So, we have had our two weeks of Winter. In another week or so it will be in the 70's. We have lost water pressure and the city put out a memorandum that do to the city wide water pressure below 20 psi that residents should boil water and let it cool before consumption Stay safe, stlay warm.

ROFL!

Eric, here is the operator manual for the 2014 Tour 42QD. Search on the word preheat and you should see what it does. I agree that if you don't intend on starting the engine to move, don't start it. It should be fine. Also, in your Aqua Hot Compartment there is a knob that is a thermostat controller for basement heat. Set it to above 40 degrees. I set mine at 50 and your basements should stay between 35 and 45 degrees. Cheers. I have the sister ship to your MH. Everything is the same except for inside asthetics and paint schemes. p.s., "If no one is in the coach, electric on, open cabinet doors under sinks if down to 30 deg F. Below that add diesel burner. If in the coach, add diesel to electric when temp is below 50 deg F." This is from the expert in my area.

As I stated, it has been discussed with the Governor's of the states and yes, it is legal for a State to close its borders. For although the courts have long held that the Constitution protects the right to travel, including from one state to another, that freedom has been subject to a considerable caveat, articulated byChief Justice Earl Warren in the Supreme Court’s 1965 decision in Zemel v. Rusk: A quote from the Justice “But that freedom does not mean that areas ravaged by flood, fire or pestilence cannot be quarantined when it can be demonstrated that unlimited travel to the area would directly and materially interfere with the safety and welfare of the area or the Nation as a whole.” Not looking for an argument, just trying to rut out the facts.
