  1. Forgot to mention. I good friend of mine is a veterinarian and he recently got a Chihuahua. One day he came over carrying the Chihuahua. Miya was of course curious but not aggressive and they became friends. Kind of funny watching them. Think 75 pound Husky with a 5 pound Chihuahua. So maybe there is hope for Miya.
  2. Padre Island Weather In March
  3. What did you shoot in golf?
  4. I would love to get her socialized again so she could get rid of the fear aggression.
  5. Joe S, You haven't met Miya yet. She is our 75 pound Husky Mix (not going to say what the mix is but she has dark spots on her tongue). When I walk her in an RV park I let her have her leash until someone or something is coming. Then I put her in "Heel" mode and she stays by my side. Once in while I have to Ahhhnnnt her but for the most part she will stay there. When my wife walks her at her faster pace she uses the short leash and Miya is in Heel mode for the walk unless she stops and let's her potty. for sit, stay, down, she responds to my quiet voice and if I need to I can point with my finger and she will lay down. I hope we are in the 10% category. As for other dog, well she is "fear aggression," in that she has been attacked 9 times by dogs not on a leash or not tethered in their yard. From the little rat dogs to a pit bulls. So whenever they come near her she will bristle up and if they get to close she wants in. Now, if you are walking your dog and you want to stop and chat, as long as you stay about 5 feet away she will behave and I will tell her to lay down. She will stay there unless the other dog approaches her. She does not bark at other dogs, either when they are walking by my MH or if we are out walking. When walking by other sites with dogs outside she will not bark, and just ambles on minding her own business. She does have faults. One is when someone comes to the front door she will let us know they are there, and I like that. However when we let the person in she wants to jump up to greet them. My command is "No Jump!" and she halfheartedly minds me but the event only goes on for a few seconds and If i touch her she will not jump. She does not get slapped or rough handled. No need for that with a dog. She is not afraid and she is very strong - think Husky pulling a sled. The two lovers on the bed are Miya in the back and Ranger, a Belgian Tervuren. Ranger is the canine she will associate with. Don't know why, just happened. Ranger is a show dog and has one many a competition for best in show. Some parks have restrictions on Wolf Hybrids and the Husky, along with many other dogs fit that description. I have not had a problem so far.
  6. Well, I just figure that the 450 horses are producing enough noise that anyone walking buy would be aware of 47000+ pounds coming at them. HOWEVER: here is a scenario. Child riding a bike comes in on your blind side, stops behind the MH to tie a shoe or whatever. Consequences of backing up could have life effects. Please, Heaven forbid. Always great to have a spotter or a darn good back-up camera.
  7. JIm, he just doesn't understand. Maybe I can help. Little quips in posts are okay but you have to intersperse the original topic inside the post...like this: I store mine in a storage facility that is covered top only. It's about $150 a month and has 110V electric. Can't run much off of 110 but it keeps the inverter going and therefore keeps the batteries charged. We also visit it periodically to give it a check over. Every once in a while, with time being when we think of it, I'll take it out for a 20-25 mile run and exercise everything. -------- See! Brett's not mad at me now.
  8. We live on the Gulf Coast of Texas so stop in and say hi. Welcome to the forum. Consider editing your profile and entering you rig, toad and anything else that may help in future posts on fixing something we all hope never breaks.
  9. I thought it was entertaining - therefore my post. Storing NE of Dallas you will need a burner in the shed to keep the freeze off. Storing here in this area you will not have to worry about freezing, but maybe just overnight for a little while. You get used to the humidity. Sweat keeps you cool.
  10. Yep! Heard them once in a while. Glad my rig doesn't have that.
  11. All very good suggestions and your original info was also usable. I don't use the eight foot mark as described in the video. When we pull up and unhook, I check the surroundings and where I want to back into and I will use the "lazy S" method. I adjust my mirrors and pull forward until my rear wheels are at the edge of the site. then I start the turn away from the site and in the middle of the road I start my turn forward. Now just start cutting the wheel and backing in. Remember: G.O.A.L - Get Out And Look Never back up unless you have to Use your mirrors. Just before backing use your horn (You cannot see directly behind you) I'll bet there are a lot of other good ideas out there. Search for some videos on backing up an RV. Best thing is to use a spotter.
  12. Highway 646 is the section we are talking about in the Dickinson TX area. The highway runs from FM 2004, South of Alta Loma, across SH-146 and over to Bayshore DR. San Leon, TX . The area around I-45 and 646 is heavily built up and continues to grow.
  13. Carl, 646 is where my unit is and they did have a break-in a year or two back. Since have upgraded their camera system.
  14. When we are out and about we like to look at the private campgrounds that abound the area. Typically I will stop at the office and ask if I can ride through. On occasion I just ride through, especially if the office is not "readily" accessible. Once the CG office is closed, and if there is not gate available, anyone can roam the area looking for goodies. I don't have "indoor" storage but I do have covered storage with 110v available and used. I am looking into obtaining a security system that will not only protect it and notify me when it is in storage but when we are in CG's as well. One that I'm looking into is JAQX. If anyone has information on any system I would appreciate it. Having indoor storage would be more secure for a couple reasons. 1., out of sight, out of mind. 2., good quality lock on door. Indoor storage is also not "really" secure. With all the hand-held tools available today, battery operated, a door could be made in the flimsy door of the storage unit. Still, out of sight out of mind is nice.
  15. It's 2 a.m. and the drive-by conversation goes: "Hey bud, look at that nice MH parked there. I'll bet it has some nice electronics in it." "Yeah, let's go look inside." The rest you can imagine. Another deterrent is an alarm system that makes a lot of noise. There are a lot of very nice safe neighborhoods in our wonderful country. Just not safe for when people are just driving through. Even at campgrounds, it's not the campers I think about, but the drive-through on-lookers that see something they think they want or can sell. My MH is in a storage facility that has cameras all over the place and they are the very good color quality cameras. So far so good, but at the far end with nothing but some vacant fields and on a nice evening - perpetrators cut the fence and ransacked several motor homes and stealing TV's and other electronics. "It" happens.
  16. A friend has a service dog, a Pit Bull. Gentle as can be with other dogs and humans. It is a registered "Dual" person service dog. Takes care of him and his SO.
  17. Keon, when you're hot, you're hot! I also had a chuckle when I read that and just knew where it was going, and fast. Speck, You are very very lucky. That could have turned mean real quick. Did you go buy a lottery ticket?

    I live in Texas City and I use La Porte Tire Center. They are also a Dually Valve dealer if you have any tire valve stems that are hard to get to the Dually Valve stems are great.
  19. My only luck was on the Winnebago resource site and the wiring diagram. My thought now is to call Winnebago, have your serial number of the MH ready and ask them where the fuse is. I have had good luck with their phone hep service. Please let us know when you find it. I just may need that information some day. Wish I could have been of more help. It's possible that it is tied into the radio circuit but I would not think that would be the way to do it. 2013 wiring
  20. We purchased ours at Texas RV Outlet in Willow Park. As stated there are a lot of RV dealers in Texas - but I'm sure there are in other states also. Check rvtrader.com or rvt.com - look at floor plans of the many RV's for sale and other accessories that you would like. I would rather buy from a dealer than a private individual.
