Jim S. Acme uses the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E. I had the older bias ply on my Acme, never had a problem. Bill -
Towing Lexus RX 350 With Acme Tow Dolly
wildebill308 replied to pixtony2008's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
What issues? Every state knows who does and who doesn't require plates on a dolly. Texas doesn't require a plate and I have never had a problem in any state. Bill -
Welcome to the forum. I have to ask where you found this fact? That heavier tires ride and handle better. If you believe they do that is all that matters. Bill

Finding Good Food On The Road..that someone else cooks
wildebill308 replied to TimeTraveler's topic in General Discussion
Herman you forgot the side of either red beans or pinto's with some pepper sauce. Joe, if you ever make it down this far you will want to go to The North Main BBQ. These guys started by winning nearly every BBQ cook off they entered including trips to Europe. This was their test kitchen and they had all this leftover meat so they started to sell it. The restaurant is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm and on Sundays from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Or till the meat is gone. http://northmainbbq.com/Home_Page.php Bill -
Finding Good Food On The Road..that someone else cooks
wildebill308 replied to TimeTraveler's topic in General Discussion
Yes Herman if you go to the website it shows all the other locations. and menus. What I am waiting for is they are building a new concept store on that has both Sweetie pies and a Babes in the same building. It is going up at North 820 and Rufe Snow drive just to the East on the access road. Go look at the menu at the Sweetie pies link. Unfortunately Joe they haven't made it to Amarillo. I will get you some notes latter. Bill -

Finding Good Food On The Road..that someone else cooks
wildebill308 replied to TimeTraveler's topic in General Discussion
I have to throw out a fun chicken place that use to have people waiting in line for hours. Seriously they would bring lawn chairs and coolers and wait in line 2-3 hours was a short line. They finally started expanding and the wait times have come down. Their stick is you get 1/2 chicken and all the sides you can eat. http://www.babeschicken.com/our-kitchens/burleson/ The family has another place, Sweetie Pie’s Ribeye's. Yes it is as good as it sounds. http://sweetiepiesribeyes.com/ Bill -

Hand tools, Craftsman or Snap On or ???
wildebill308 replied to punxsyjumper's topic in General Discussion
No you are paying for the "FREE" replacement up front. Bill -
Welcome back. I would recommend something over 1000 Watt. The reason is somethings have a higher draw when they start and you may want to upgrade your system latter. Just because it is capable of 1000 or 1500 watts doesn't mean it will be drawing that much all the time. It could be as little as 2 charging your phone. Bill

Hand tools, Craftsman or Snap On or ???
wildebill308 replied to punxsyjumper's topic in General Discussion
True I don't do that kind of work anymore but it has been a major help on some projects. I could show you part numbers in the TO for the F-35 it is still going on so I think Snap-On will be around for a long time. Bill -

wildebill308 replied to punxsyjumper's topic in General Discussion
I worked for a lot of years in the aircraft world. I like Snap-on and still have quite a tool box. I have used Craftsmen tools quite extensile over the years. Yes now you can find some real steals at Sears stores or at the Sears outlet stores. The absolute biggest advantage to Snap-On is when working on any military item Aircraft or ground support if you need a special tool there will be a part number in the technical order and it will take you to that tool in a snap on catalog.

Coach Net Or FMCA Roadside Assistance?
wildebill308 replied to gordiegaffer's topic in Type A motorhomes
Well thank GOD for that. I am tired of your condescending attitude that you are the only one who is smart enough to make THE RIGHT decisions on what to buy what to drive and where to stay. "I've been a member for more than 35 years.." So what!! That makes you a rooky compared to a lot of people on here. It has been posted by many people that AAA has not responded properly to calls about RV's. They may do OK on little campervans but don't try to convince me that they are what I need because you say so. "AAA helps with car registration, sales, insurance matters, overseas travel, DMV and much more.... It's not just hotel rooms...." By the way the DMV is where you register your car, and no I don't need any help as I can do my registration from home. Why would I pay extra? I drove a compact little campervan 40 years ago and thought it was neat but I grew up and moved up. I no longer want or desire to be told about what would be "best" for me to drive. I had to laugh at your one more bit about "Ideal RV Length for Fitting into National Park Campsites". One more stupid comment from the un knowing. Is camping in National parks the only camping you do? What makes you think that just because you Think you have the perfect size camper that you can get into a campground in a National or State Park? Let me see Yellowstone National park offers 12 campgrounds with over 2,000 sites. Yet during the peak season they have over 30,000 visitors a day. I will continue to make reservations for the campgrounds where I want to stay and they are mostly commercial places with more room and more amenities and about the same price as dry camping in the park.

Trip from Hilton Head to CT
wildebill308 replied to ktconners's question in Destinations/Attractions
If you go to the main EZ-Pass website you can see where a EZ-Pass can be used. The toll system in Florida is not in the system yet. The government passed a bill requiring all toll systems to merge and be interoperable 2 years ago. So far they haven't got that to work yet. https://www.ezpassnh.com/page/toll-facilities-participating-in-e-zpass One thing I remember is when I tried to sine up on line they were insisting I had to have a "Commercial account" When I walked in I didn't have to go Commercial. I believe it saves a little on the tolls and how much you need in your account. Bill -
Why would you need a shark bite? Most of those valves are installed with compression fittings. I need more info. This is where having some information about your RV in your signature would help and save time. Do you have picture's? Bill

In Texas it is fried catfish. I have a toad so it isn't a problem getting to the more interesting places like Chaparral Grille & Spurs Bar, on Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas. Bill

Kind of like this? http://www.dinersdriveinsdiveslocations.com/ Bill -
No really it has to be 110 before the asphalt riley puts out some heat. I have ben to rally's and some campgrounds where I needed a pad. Some campgrounds are so un level I used blocks to get close to level. Bill

Finding Good Food On The Road..that someone else cooks
wildebill308 replied to TimeTraveler's topic in General Discussion
Yes that is a good idea. The only problem is people have different ideas on how things should taste. One tool is Yelp for finding places or one I like is when we are exploring a new town and looking in different shops is to ask the people "If you were going to go eat well where would you go and I don't mean Mickey D." The locals have pointed us to some amazing places. You will get different responses if it is lunch or supper. One of my all time favorites, The 7th street Chafee in ABQ is one of them. A great lunch place is Woerner Warehouse Café in Fredericksburg Texas. Or Pasta Jay's 4 S Main St, Moab, UT. Main street BBQ in Euless Texas. Bill
