  1. We ?use the rubberized shelf liner stuff. So far so good. Also for things sitting on a counter that you may want to leave there, we use the blue "Sticky Tack." This stuff is great for just about anything. One to hang a picture without screwing into the wall, use Sticky Tack. (Not a real, real heavy picture.) If you are worried about cabinets coming open use those "Rubber Reusable Twist Ties" that come in all kinds of different lengths. Usually the cabinet door knobs face each other so just twist one of those ties around both knobs to keep the doors shut. Same thing with drawers. Twist tie two handles together to keep the drawers from opening. Same for refrigerator doors. Our commercial refrigerator doors have the drawer mechanisms at the very top and they click in place and keep the doors closed. The bottom freezer had a twist lock for it. Don?'t forget to not drive like a race car driver when in? the? MH.? It? really ?keep?s things in? place.
  2. Don't worry, you'll soon be an expert on that question. ?
  3. I speak of the Marine Corps because that is what I know, but yes, all Military Wives are special.
  4. Herman, No, she did not retire. She did not do a complete year. Back in those days when a woman got pregnant they were given an honorable discharge. We were married in March of '61. I was to be transferred to a base that did not have Women Marines. We tried (I really worked at it) to have a child and shortly there after becoming pregnant she was discharged and followed me my entire career. According to my DD-214 it was 23 years, 6 months, 1 day. Those who have been in the military know the difficulties that wives go through with all the deployments, raising children alone for months at a time, and on, and on and on. "Marine Wife, Toughest Job In The Marine Corps." and if you thing her job was tough when I served those years, our son was in the USMC for 31 years so she had more worries about deployments. "Marine Mom, Toughest Job In The Marine Corps." Semper Fi!
  5. Mike, if your policy is like mine, look on page 26. If something happens to it you get $165.000 in insurance money minus deductible. In 2017 they totaled my 2008 Winnebago Destination 39W and gave me the nice sum. FMCA is not going to do that.
  6. RevRichard, Earlene is a Marine also. 1960-1961. met her in San Diego, MCRD when I was going to radio telegraph school. Military discount and FMCA discount are the same 10% but military is recognized at more places.
  7. Also the original poster has no information on his motorhome. I have posted elsewhere that the information on moving the slide 8 inches and back out/in is not in keeping with current Schwintek policy. Never change direction and always continue in the same direction if for some reason the slide has to be stopped. I visited Lippert last year and had a motor replaced. I got some good information there on how to properly operate their Schwintek mechanisms. They also use Schwintek controllers for their power gear slides. (Schwintek uses the serpent rail and Power Gear has the rack/pinion type rails.)
  8. I would not do that, but that is because I went to the Lippert factory and had a motor replaced. Here is what I found out about Schwintek systems The below is very dependent on year and controller model - CALL Lippert for exact instructions. There will be a controller box that is the brains of the slide system. On it will be instructions on how to electronically bypass the controller. Once the light on the controller is blinking rapidly go back inside and run the slide. Never change directions. Once the slide starts moving keep it moving until it reaches its stop. When it reaches its stop do not release the switch. Hold the switch in the IN or OUT, depending on travel, position for a minimum of 5 seconds. Holding the switch for the 5 seconds or longer will sync the motors. You may even hear one motor running longer than the other and then it will stop. Keith, it would help if you put the year, make model, etc., in your signature line and those of us with that exact model would be of better help. p.s., be extremely careful when bypassing the controller as ALL safety systems for that slide are disabled. If you notice one side coming in more than 2 inches - stop. You can seriously break something. Those small motors are very, very powerful.
  9. I like Glamping, however Earlene doesn't like it if there isn't a Walmart somewhere near the campground. She likes to go there and play cards - Master Card, Visa, etc. Plus get 10% off camping fee if FMCA member - and those little 10%'s add up.
  10. Richard, what stations does the TCS card recognize?
  11. Re-reading the thread and members vacating because of price AND because of allowing towables, I have this to say. Take the motor out of a motorhome and what do you have if you tow it? An RV. There are some really nice towables out there now that would put the inside of a MH to shame as far as luxury and comfort. Also, how many pieces of equipment are the same for MH's and Towables? Think holding tanks, water supplies, heaters, air conditioners, microwaves, and on and on. Leaving FMCA is a personal choice and I respect that, I'm just personally thinking the reasoning is not right.

    Tire Pressure?

    "The other guy" is mistaken. Never exceed the tire placard. If it says 120 psi max, never put in 5% more,
  13. Carl, you youngster you! I have two more on you. I don't think I'll go the longer term. I don't know how many years I have left driving but right now I feel great doing it. DW says I'm an excellent RV driver but she hates me in the car.
  14. My my Herman! That's 908 years of service. Tell me your secret, please.

    Towing

    Mine is 450Hp and today running the hills of Missouri and Arkansas Ozarks it did just fine. My GVWR is 45,600 and GCWR is 20,000 more.
  16. I"m due. Have a running crack about 2 feet long from bottom of windshield over to passenger side and up about a foot. Hasn't gotten any worse but the day will come.
  17. Say what you want about different programs but I'll stay with TSD Logistics, Inc. Today I save $0.52 a gallon. Bill on pump was $136.20, and my price was $115.10. Pump was $3.099 a gallon and my price was $2.577 a gallon. Location was Memphis, TN.
  18. Rich, The newer rigs have "Auto Start" and should power be lost at the pedestal the generator will start up. After the reset time of the air conditioners they will restart also. usually around a minute or more. How is this going to affect the ATS?
  19. I'm always right. If you don't believe me just ask me. Up in altitude pressure increases by 0.48 psi for every 1000 feet of altitude change. Down in altitude, the reverse, Up in altitude pressure decreases by 2% for every 10 degrees of temperature change. Down in altitude it increases. The math is fairly simple.
  20. Hmm! I'm trying to picture the direction of flow with 2 90s. Hmm!
  21. Think bottle brush but small enough to clean the inside of a straw. On Amazon
  22. That's what I paid for mine, just didn't want to make anyone feel bad about spending $3 more.
  23. Bill, I have two of them and have been using them for 2 or 3 years. Got them at a local RV Parts store. Absolutely wonderful to have,
