When you leave Perry, if you like historic places, I recommend that you go east to Savanah Ga., and Tybee Island. That will put you on the Atlantic ocean, and lots of historic sites, as well as a fun place to stay. I like to stay at Rivers end campground on Tybee. Nice campground with very nice people running it. Fort Pulaski, is a must see, if you like history, and Civil war momento's. Its about 170 miles from Perry. Have a good trip, Kay

Yes, been there, done that. If the old paper is not coming loose from the plywood, you can use sizing over the old. I use the prepared paste that is made for kitchen and bath, to hold the sizing. Then paste the new right on top of the sizing. If the old is coming loose, you will need to remove all that has come loose, then use sizing over all the bare, and the old paper. Good luck with the project. Kay

I'm 69 years young, my dad used m.m.o. when I was a very young lad, and he swore by it. As a top cylinder lubricant, it is great stuff. The reason for sta-bil, is to help increase the life of the crappy gas that the government has mandated on us. Ethanol, is nothing but grain alchohol, 10 percent is the normal amount added by the refiner. You should note that grain alcohol is made from water with grain going through a fermentation process. This additive has a trend to evaporate from the gas when it sits for a long period of time, and leave behind a gummy residue that will gum up the fuel system. Basically what I am saying is, if you don't let your equipment sit for long period of time, you should be fine without the fuel stabilizer. I always buy non ethanol gas and add the sta-bil to it, for my small engines, lawnmowers, portable generators, and others. Happy trails, Kay

Sometimes, applying a little heat then cooling slightly will help. I do mean a little heat, not a propane torch of course, I use my wife's hair dryer holding it far enough away as not to melt the plastic, then applying a little extra pressure on the filter wrench might work. Kay

DD is right, only the converter will know for sure. Prevost only built the coach, there are many converters that build the conversion. And no two of them do anything exactly alike. Would like to know what year, and length of your coach, it is among the best on the road. Happy trails, Kay

I use Passportamerica also. Most passport parks dont honor the discount on major holidays, and the 50 off is from Sunday through Thursday. We travel about 6 weeks per year, so the discount more than pays for it's annual membership. We use several parks in Tenn., Ga., and Florida on a regular basis and have learned which are the better parks. Thumbs up! Kay

Be sure to check the car-fax for that vehicle. More than likely, if the vehicle has been in an accident, there is a far greater possibility of things going wrong with it. Be sure to look for tale tell signs of this. I would never make an investment in a coach that I, or a reputable inspector hasn't checked out. If the seller has objections to having it inspected, beware. Kay

Never stayed at a Cracker Barrel, but have at Walmart and truck stops. I would look at the surrounding neighborhood, the sleazy looking ones usually are. Be sure to check with the manager, and ask if it is OK. Some cities have ordinances against overnight parking at locations in their cities. Truck Stops are normally much nosier than Walmart. Most Walmarts have a security guard/car, that makes regular rounds in their parking lots. Also Sam's clubs mostly will allow overnight parking in their lots. Happy trails Kay

Frank, You can certainly just crank the engine and leave it running, just make sure to check that it remains running while in motion. And also there is usually a U-Haul dealer in most every town. You can usually rent a tow-dolly to get you where you are going, may not be exactly what you like to do, but beats having a spoiled vacation, most of the time. Happy new year, Kay

You could use two tin cans and a string between them, and some people would like that better. But three previous posts are the best answer. I use a Galaxy S-III and love it. My daughter and son inlaw have the S-IV. I haven't found enough difference to upgrade to that, but if buying a new one I would buy the S-IV. My other daughter has and husband has the I phone, they love theirs. I like Galaxy personally, but then, I am MS certified. So have fun shopping. Happy new year, Kay

The 701 K-G that is in the link that Rich described will work just fine, a little less pricey and will work fine. I have used one like this for over thirty years. Happy new year, Kay

I have not towed a Smart, but was on the verge of getting one last November. The factory representative was at the dealer that day. He showed me the two tow points, and how easy it would be to install the tow bar. He also told me about Smart-tow, and highly recommended that method. Good luck with your endeavor, if you decide to go that route, please let us know how it works out. Happy New Year, Kay

Merry Christmas Rich, Lois, and to all others on this forum. May the next year be the happiest for all. Kay

Thanks to all who responded to ticat's remark. I was thinking of asking him if his favorite radio wasn't a Cobra29. Happy forward trails Huffypuff, may the wind be at your back. Kay

Sorry, I assumed the HR20's were not already rf. Kay

The receiver that will use rf will have to be set to receive rf. The default is ir, therefore no other receiver will receive that signal. Kay

Sorry you are having such bad luck. Almost sounds like one of my adventures. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and hope the rest of your vacation goes better. Happy holidays, Kay

Being from Alabama, I would suggest looking at the Tiffin line. They are built here in Alabama in Red Bay. I have been to their factory, and was impressed with the finess that is put into their homes. They offer Allegro, Phaeton, and Zephyr. Your choice on whether new or used, they seem to hold value longer than some of the others in your budget range. Good luck hunting and hope to see you here. Kay

I would take I-10 to the last Panama City exit, which is highway 231, and go south all the way to highway 98, then turn east. There are shorter routes that I know, but I have been traveling these routes for 50+ years. As Brett said, the congestion is not worth the effort to run 98 all the way. The scenery is very good east of Panama City, and when you get to Apalachacola, there is many good places to eat some of the best seafood on the planet. Happy holidays, Kay

If you are in or traveling through the Southeast during the holiday season, a good point of interest is Callaway Gardens, at Pine Mountain, Ga. The holiday light show is fantastic, and will be viewed till Jan. 1, 2014. Located near Warmsprings Ga., which is the home o Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Little white house is located there, with a noteworthy museum in honor of FDR. The town of Warmsprings is a quaint little town full of hospitable people, and oriented toward a Christmas Spirit. I stay at FDR state park when I go, and find a nice park. Just a tidbit in case someone is looking for little trip. Happy Holidays Kay

Here is the link for the setup instructions, (http://dl.ubnt.com/docs/M_Series_Beginner_Guide.pdf). If you don't already have the instructions, simply cut and paste into your browser's address line. I asked if you have the Poe injector, also. This is how it gets power to run, which requires 12volts to operate the unit through the Ethernet cable. I have e-mailed my phone numbers, will be up about 30 more minutes. Call me if you need any help. Not surprising that the company hasn't replied, sometimes takes weeks for that to happen. Good luck, Kay

Which model do you have? Did you get the Poe injector with it? Kay

I used a 100 amp Powermax RV converter which I ordered off of ebay. Fully automatic, it has worked flawlessly for over a year. Kay

Amen, Brett, I'm thinking the same thing. Kay
