There are some nice CG's in Galveston. Sandpiper and Stella Mare are two that come to mind with Stella Mare being the nicer for space. Sandpiper is at the East end of the seawall and much much closer to downtown Galveston. Stella Mare is just past the West end of the seawall. Sandpiper has a view of the Gulf. Stella Mare you have to go across the street somewhere but there are beach accesses where vehicles can drive. Further West is Galveston Island State Park but no sewer. They do have a dump station. Further on down is Jamaica Beach RV Park and further down is Galveston Island RV Resort and is close to San Luis Pass. Any of those I mentioned would put you on your way down the Blue Water highway (FM-3005) and heading South to Corpus. For Corpus I would stay in Rockport. We had a small rally at Drifter's RV Resort and it was nice. Look on RVparkreview.com for the areas you want to stay in and look at the ratings.

If you do try and use a calk, try a 1/4" pvc pipe of the right length. If it needs to bend, use some copper tubing. Force the calk through either and seal the hole. Yep! going to waste a lot of calk but the cost is small compared to the leak.

Well, combined there is over 1600 miles of Gulf Coast. Texas, although not the longest, and 367 miles. Now if you wish to visit the Gulf Coast South of Houston I can give you a few campgrounds in the area that you could stay at. If you are heading to Corpus I would suggest taking the Blue Water Highway out of Galveston, picking up Hwy 35 down the road and follow your nose to Corpus. This would keep you off the interstates. I have seen some of the CG's in Corpus and I would suggest staying on the outskirts, like Rockport where the CG's are nicer.

The application "Waze" will ask if you are a driver or passenger. DW uses it and always says "passenger" but I don't know what would happen if you say "driver." Then, the driver could just answer "passenger" to circumvent any disablement.

Calking around a marker light. Drain holes, and all the above.

Using a phone without touching it is also dangerous. Many times the person driving is driving by instinct and concentrating on what is being spoken/listened to. My phone is on my belt and when it rings I hand it to DW in the passenger seat. She then keeps it until out final stop of the day when I get it back. Not a problem. However, we do have hands free in both the car and RV, plus I have blue tooth to my hearing aids, but if I do answer I'll still tell them to hold and pass the phone over to DW.

Yes thee are replacements for the basement air. Don't remember the name or name of company but it was posted on some of he forums. Here is a link to Basement Air that may help. I just googled Wineebago basement Air Replacement.

What link? I can't find the link. Sheesh!

A link to them please?

I don't know about Direct, but Dish has a pay-as-you-go service where you can shut the service off for the months you are not using it. If you activate it for 1 day it is pay for the full month.

Can't keep a bad penny from showing up once in a while, watch for me.

Herman, yes I know the AH will shut down at 1/4 tank. I always put the chariot in storage with a full tank just for the reason you stated. Et. al., diesel prices will not stop my travels and this year it is to the East Coast for the summer, up to NE, over to Niagara, across to MI, to the UP and around and return home. Next year it's back to the Left Coast where on Hwy 101 it stays cool most of the summer but one needs to be aware of fires, mudslide, etc.

Frank, Give Lichtsinn rv in Forest City, IA a call. Phone: 641-585-3213 and see if they can help. Your coach is not the only coach that has that system. Hmmm! I think it's time to make a back-up and put it in the safe.

Frank, I'm on a MAC and it is pretty straight forward to copy things. Just a mater of copying it to the computer and then copying/burning it back to the device. Carbon Copy Cloner, Toast Titanium, Burn, etc. Should be an easy copy to computer and copy back to new SD card. Even Windows should be able to do that. I don't think there is any copy protection on the SD card except for the little slide on the side of the card.

I like filling up at around the half tank level and not just for pocket book. Been there done that when the tank was close to 1/4 and I needed to run the generator. Never know when that will happen. Less of a $$ shock also until the bill comes in. Use to have a 90 gallon tank and now a 150 gallon tank. Guess it is because of the Aqua Hot, :-).

A few years ago I needed to replace the shoes on the 2008. Michelin's were no where to be found. Decided to go with the Toyo M154's and never noticed any difference and the price was cheaper. Many of the cross country truckers run Toyo's. Good enough for them, good enough for me. Price was not a consideration, just worked out that the Toyo's were less expensive.

My 2008 MH after 9 years looked just as good on the outside as it did the day I bought it, maybe even better. It had never been "waxed," but it was washed regularly and a de-ionized rinse uesed. Never used a brush, always a microfiber cloth/mop. Present 2015 I purchased used and someone used a buffer or non-microfiber rag and washed it in circles. When the sun is just right you can see the swirl marks. However I am back to the same way to wash it as the 2008. It still is looking good. I'm also now using Wash Wax All.

I didn't travel in Jim S's expensive circles but in 2008 on a West Coast trip it reached $4.00 a gallon. West Coast is always more expensive than other areas of the U.S. Doesn't matter, we just slow our travel down to let the monthly retirement catch up. Consider going to point a, b, c and d, filling up every half tank or so and doing that in about a week. That's two full tanks of gas there-a-bouts. Now travel that same route but stop for a week and enjoy the areas. It's still two full tanks of gas but now it is spread out over 4 weeks and the finances catch up. There are ways to manage it. Doesn't matter if it gets that high again, we are going to travel.

If it is the wiper seal that flips when you extend or retract it is only a wiper. It doesn't seal the MH from rain. The seal for protection from the elements is around the frame inside and the outer edge of the slide when extended. Now if you really want to have the wiper seal look nice for aesthetic reasons, use the back of the awning rod, the rounded edge, and slip it under the seal and work it up. You don't need a lot of pressure. You can also use the back side of the hooked end. You have to be careful and if you feel resistance be especially careful not to tear the seal. Another method I used was to spray 303 on a rag and the rag in the rounded end of the awning rod and work it up on the inside of the seal. Then wipe the outside of the seal with 303. I then would spray the side of the slide. Amazing how that helped until the next time. Dry silicone should work also. RV stores have a slide seal spray also but I have never used it. Do not use a petroleum based product on the rubber or side of the slide.

Darn! Wish I could help. I can copy one if anyone has one and doesn't have the means to copy. 'Course they would have to be in the Texas City vicinity.

Preference is Community Club Dark Roast, then Community Club with Chicory, and every once in a while Community Club Pecan. DW doesn't care for CC so it is my specific brew when using K-Cups.

Been there done all of that with coffee. Now Kurig is Paul Newman's Own for DW and I'm a Community Club, or Walmart Arabic type person. For the big pot brewer we are Dunkin Donuts fans and grind our own.

Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide with very small percentages of other elements. Must just be the other than nitrogen that is heating up. As stated, the rise is normal and anticipated by the engineers. Do not inflate to minimum temperature for your weight. Instead find a medium between minimum and maximum. Always check when tires are cold, by 2 to 3 hours. When inflated between min and max it give a fudge factor so you don't have to keep inflating and deflating to maintain a safe pressure for your weight.

Riverparkinc.com distributes the SD card for the RM infotainment center. They can be reached at (800) 442-7717 · (574) 522-7781. Back in October of November of 2017 I was updating a new to us MH RM SD card and it was to small a card. Called Riverparkinc and the sent me a larger card with all the updates on it.

Brass! They can be contoured to come out the center of the hole. The aluminum ones are just coated and can crack when bent. With that said, Dually Valves makes valves specifically for different MH's.
