Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
wildebill308 replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
WOW here we are geting close to the average last freeze date March 13 and it is making up for lost time. 21 this morning and hasn't warmed up much. Next 2 days are forecast to be the same.😬 Next Weekend it is forecast to be mid 70s. Bill -
http://www.boldtcastle.com/visitorinfo/ Well at least under a minute and a half and who is going to argue with her. I bet she was looking around for more. https://www.amarillo.com/article/20120716/LIFESTYLE/307169681 Bill

Make it easier to use and understand the tire charts
wildebill308 replied to wildebill308's topic in FMCA
Well thank you Dan Ball, for what? This is absolutely positively one of the best examples as to why FMCA is having a hard time growing and maintaining/retaining members. Bill -
It is good to finish a project. Bill

What Is Considered Low, Medium, High Generator Usage?
wildebill308 replied to K.William's topic in Buying an RV
Have you looked on your generator? Yes asCarl said it isn't that hard to add a hour meter. Bill -
Would be an interesting trip. You could stop on the eastern seaboard at The Mystic Seaport Museum. https://www.mysticseaport.org/ Bill

Well Carl, I went back and read what I posted 2 more times. Strangely nowhere did I make that claim. I simply posted a comment back to Wayne, who had just posted about places near him. I simply posted "with links" to a couple interesting areas. Yes I did post to DBenoit about the Big Tex. True it may not be a prime beef steakhouse up to your exacting standards but the steaks are edible and the ambiance is interesting. Some even like the bit where they will pick you up at your campground in one of their vintage limos and take you home again. Bill

No but you could sail your boat all the way. This will get you to Lake Michigan. https://www.imusgeographics.com/great-lakes-to-the-gulf-of-mexicoby-boat From there it is only a "short sail" to the mouth of the Saint Lawrence river and Clayton. Those lakes arn't all that big.😋 Bill

I can't open the pictures. If you go look at the videos I posted and you can search for more you should be able to do it. Bill

First I had heard you can't tow with a 2500 Allison. Bill -
Make it easier to use and understand the tire charts
wildebill308 replied to wildebill308's topic in FMCA
So can you please tell us how do we know if the "qualified tire dealer" knows what they are talking about? So can you please tell us how do we know if the "qualified tire dealer" isn't just trying to make the sale and move us down the road? I think you have a much better chance if you are a informed consumer. What I am talking about is linking the tire on the FMCA list to that tire on the manufacturers website. Look at the Hankook list of tires. They don't tell you what load range the tire is. I think they could have someone buy the wrong tiers because they are looking at price only and go to " a qualified tire dealer" and he sells them what customer ask for. Bill -

Yes the 6.7 is the upgraded 5.9 that I have. You just have to downshift and keep your rpm up (Don't lug the engine) watch your EGT and you can climb any hill. Bill -
Wayne, you need to come up north. We have towns that were re invented as dining destinations. Like Roanoke they were nothing and now have over 50 restarants and still building. https://roanoketexas.com/DocumentCenter/View/2025/Roanoke-menu-v29 Then we have places like Southlake. Small bedroom community that kept growing and moving upscale. Well they didn't have a downtown and the city hall was in a old building and to small. So they hired a big name architect and built a down town and town square. I did a little research The median home value in Southlake is $677,000, I did say it is upscale. https://www.opentable.com/landmark/restaurants-near-southlake-town-square-shopping-center Bill

I posted this in the little pop up window but am repeating it here. The Hankook listing is next to useless. There is no way to tell what the load range is on the different tires. Maybe you can add a link to that tire on the company's website. That wouldn't hurt for all the tires. Right now there are several people on the forums that are confused about the tire information. If there are 2 posting I bet there are 200 who don't post. These are people we may lose because they are unhappy with the service. Bill

I have to agree This shouldn't be that hard. Bill

Here is a place you definitely need to pin. The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo on Route 66. They have a FREE steak just for you. https://www.bigtexan.com/ Bill

Traveling the Natchez Trail in a motorhome
wildebill308 replied to tom3249's question in Destinations/Attractions
Welcome to the forum. I haven't driven that route. It looks like about 385 miles on google maps. It did look like a fairly nice 2 lane road but a little narrow. I would use RV park reviews and RV-Parkey to look for places to stay. Someone will probably be on later who knows the area better. Bill -
Here is anouther BBQ place that should be on your bucket list, Angelo's BBQ. They are known for more than just the bbq. They have large frozen mugs of beer. At one time they were the largest retailer of Budweiser in Tarrant Co. https://angelosbbq.com/About Bill

pennzo, welcome to the forum. I found this app handy in comparing tire size. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Bill

Taste like chicken. Well tough chicken. Thought I would add to the list of realey good BBQ. These guys have won nearly all the BBQ cook offs in the world. This place started as their "test kitchen" It is still only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, till the meat is gone. http://bbqnorthmain.com/ Bill

2006 Holiday Rambler Neptune "cage" under engine
wildebill308 replied to bobmid's topic in Type A motorhomes
Something new. Never seen one never seen or heard of one before. I also have never had a problem with anything outher than oil vapor being sucked into my radiator.(fixed that) Never read about anyone having a problem with things hitting their radiator. If this is factorey I would rate it right along with the swinging rubber flap that is more for advertising than protection. That can be attributed to causing more damage than it prevents. Bill -
Well, you better do what makes the DW happy. Carl, I looked up the dates and we will be headed north about then. Bill

Go look at Lagoons RV Resort and tell me what you think. Bill
