    Wayne, The outher problem is where are you going to go if all the areas around you are flooded. I chose to stay on the hi ground. I am an advocate of filling up before parking for that reason. Guess what I didn't do before Henri. Yes we had been down in Mystic Seaport and had no good places to fuel. I thought we could get by till we left on 1/2 tank. Well when it got close to 1/4 I went and bought a gas can and borrowed a couple more. Found a station open and added 20 gal to the tank. 8 hours later the power came back on. Might have made it without adding diesel but felt better having more. Bill

    Well I will say I didn't think we had done this well till I got to adding it up. We did 21 different states. One thing that helped add states is after Gillett we went to Maine (Grand kids involved) it was easy to add states up there. We stayed at 51 campgrounds. We put 11,620 miles on the RV. I didn't cheack the milage on the CR-V but it tends to mimic the RV. when I kept track before. My wife feels the same as yours about dry camping. But what do you do if the power for the whole state goes out? We were at ground zero when Henri came ashore. It had weekend some but still took out the power in RI. We actually had 2 experiences with Hurricane level stormes. The second one ( I think it was Ida) was more troubling when we were in the Lancaster KOA was the storm was spawning tornadoes. Bill

    It isn't that bad but mid December when I was in Van Nuys looking for gas I saw cheap diesel for $5.11 gas was $4.879. I made it back to AZ before I had to buy diesel. Almost makes me feel bad only paying $2.96 in Texas. Bill

    You and my wife are of the same opinion about that. We did do a little though when Hurricane Henrie Knocked the power out for the state of RI when we were there. Glad I had a generator. Bill

    Well congratulations and thank you for your service. I would start with a couple shorter trips. South this time of year. Maybe somewhere like Quartzite after all it is the season. Bill

    Happy New Years Back at you. Bill

    I thought it might be interesting to see where everyone traveled last year. I found we had been quite a few places even with all the problems out there. To make it more uniform lets try this format. Number of states. You can only count a state the first time you cross the line. Number of campgrounds you stayed at. You can count one place each time it was a separate stay. I have some we stay at going out and coming back. Number and type of dry camping places you stayed? How many miles did you put on your RV last year? Bill

    I had always heard you would get a lump of coal in your christmas stocking if you were Wicked Nauti not TP. I realey don't think the coal would break down well if you tried to use it as TP. Bill

    Welcome to the forum. You do realise that a T-Mobile store is not the same as a T-Mobile tower? Bill

    Herman I tried to keep it about what paper to use. I thought most understood water standing in the shower was your gray water tank full indicator. Works every time. Bill

    I don't go back that far. But there was talk of dried corn cobs after the corn had been removed, well mostly removed. I haven't investigated the latest craze among some "green"RVer's where you have a version of the old "out house" or as it is called now a composting toilet. So I don't know how the paper would react/break down in that environment. I can only imagine the oder problems. Bill

    I would contact the helpline and see what they say. Bill

    Welcome to the forum. Does the stove light (air in propane line). Sail switch working? Sometimes they move but don't close the contacts. Igniter sparking? Bill
  21. wildebill308
    I don't see a problem. With any paper use plenty of water. I use Charmin ultra strong and have never had a problem. Bill

    Welcome to the forum. I don't have any experience in that area, but some one may come along. Bill
  23. wildebill308
    Glad to hear it. Now for a little longer run like someplace for a couple days/nights camping. Bill

    Welcome to the forum. I like to travel with a group. But better to have a group where you are going. Bill
