I don't think the idea is to stop anyone from camping overnight. The campgrounds are full and many are letting those that are already there stay (extended stay). There just isn't anymore room. Many have the caveat at the end "No new campers," and indicates those already there can stay. At least I hope it is that way. We travel for 5 months or so during the summer and stay at military facilities when we can. We are not looking to head out until all this blows over, and I hope it does.

Just pass a little gas and they all fold real quick.

When we are getting ready to go somewhere exciting, I'll get dressed and invariably have to wait a half hour or so. She'll look at me and say, "You're wearing THAT!" and I reply, "What!" She says, "That tie doesn't go with your shirt." So she'll go to the tie rack and pick one out for me and I change my tie. The 30 minutes go by and she steps out and says, "How do I look?" Now I'm the guy who can't dress himself and she's asking me how she looks. Sheesh! Of course I know the answer so without hesitation I say, "Great." Use your imagination for a picture. Nest time I'll post in what, where when. I can't find the delete button.

The California Governor ordered all 40 million residents to stay home.

Do you use odd or even page numbers?

I had some bad news today. Had scheduled appointment at Dr. Office. Discussion focused on the present virus, and sequestration is going to last at least 6 months. If they had just let it go like every flu season it may be a lot shorter. From CDC on 2018-2019 flue season "...the CDC estimates that up to 42.9 million people got sick during the 2018-2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died. That’s fairly on par with a typical season, and well below the CDC’s 2017-2018 estimates of 48.8 million illnesses, 959,000 hospitalizations and 79,400 deaths." Wonder what would happen if there is no sequestration? CDC Info on past flu seasons. Personally, I think an RV park is much safer than other confined spaces. Everyone is typically outdoors and it is easier to keep space between peoples.

Ha! I returned to the US in the beginning of 1974. Housing priced doubled, then we had the "gas shortage." The service station owner I dealt with told me I could have as much gas as I wanted as there was no shortage. He could get all the gas he wanted. Rationing was a sham!

Hey, if Russia and Saudi are having an oil price war, how come our gas prices have dropped so much. I paid $1.84 CC price yesterday. Great to see it under $2.

Chip off the old block!

I hope Reggie comes back. That was his first post.

That is correct, but people were purchasing plywood in preparation of a hurricane. Not knowing exactly where it was going to make landfall. I was one of them. I had retired from the military in 1984 and we were rather concerned about high winds from any storms. Didn't happen that strong here but I was prepared. As I said, "I think" it was Gilbert, but there were others: Bonnie (High Island) Chantel (Again High Island) Jerry (Galveston) Minimal, but I was still prepared.

Good article. Just for fun and giggles, know what people would do, I went on Amazon when the hand sanitizers were becoming scarce. We don't need any as we have a big bottle refill that we purchase some time ago - lasts forever. I saw one price, can't remember the size, for $400. Reminds me of when we first got to Texas City. A hurricane, I think it was Gilbert was brewing and I wanted to board up my windows. The local home improvement store was "Handy Dan." When I got there, 1/2" plywood sheets were selling for something like $36 - 3 times more than original. I didn't buy any and went to the local lumber store, Bohn's Lumber and purchase sheets as $12 each - normal price at that time. Handy Dan went out of business in 1989 and that was shortly after its price gouging here in TC

Me neither!

Well. when we first discovered dropping inside I had walked to where the 110v entered into the compartment. They/it were not satisfied with just climbing the cord but also chewing on the insulation leaving tell-tale remnants on the ground. They can get in with a hole the size of a dime.

David, They ate 3 hoses. One going to the outside kitchen quick disconnect, and two going to the washing machine. Little buggers were not satisfied with just one hole in the washing machine hose, they ate 3. I guess when they couldn't get anymore water out of the top most hole because the pump was not on they just shuffled down a little on the hose. I caught the deer mouse in a trap. I now have bait, repellent, and traps set plus the storage facility put out traps at every I-beam support. Total bill was $1018 and my diminishing deductible was $188, so I'm happy price wise. Be aware, anyone storing an RV. Some, if not all, insurance companies require that you physically visit and inspect your RV every two weeks or they will not cover your costs. Fortunately we do visit every two weeks, sometimes less.

Brett, I don't think there needs to be discussions on this. It's done.

I was replying to Joe's comment. Are there any MH's with rear disc brakes? I thought I had heard that some models do, but then thought only thought he did.

Yes on discs.

Well, I would expect that if one had to pull the emergency knob they would also be applying brake pedal pressure. Not a good thing, but definitely stop a coach quicker. Just an air leak to below 65+/- psi would be a slower rolling stop. Mike's demo was very good and informative - as is everything at Gaffney.

It will never be finished. Like I-45 South of Houston. Engineers and workers have retired from their jobs after spending 20+ years on that stretch of highway. it is under a major change right now.

Now Carl, I was working on the WAG principle, not the SWAG principle Also, when he finds the filter it should say on the side what the dimensions are. I'd go from there to the store. 🙂

Thanks Carl. I'm going to visit the repair shop today. The insurance adjuster called me and said he added the repair parts for the parts they found damaged, water hoses. They are going to pressurize it today and check for more leaks. When I tried adding water it was like Niagara coming out where the back bathroom is. The hoses so far the replaced was the ones to the washing machine. Three gnaw points. I told the adjuster that after the water leaks are tested and fixed I want to start the generator and push all the electronic buttons I can find. Sucks big time.

Kay, I had one on the air dryer fail in the open position. Fortunately the the air governor kept it at about 70 psi and I made it to a Freighliner shop. Yep, frightening However I do know that if the air brakes engage while you are driving down the road it will not throw everything to the front. Depending on how fast you are going it could be a few hindered feet before the coach comes to a rolling stop. Mike at Gaffney Freighliner demonstrated it by pulling the "emergency" button at about 45 MPH. Bus just came to an easy rolling stop.

Thanks ray, under consideration. Anyone else?
