  1. Does your bed lift up? If it does then that is probably where you'll find it. Any water around wet bay? Are you in a RV Park with city water? If so, did you turn the valve from fresh in-house water to city? I do not think you have a fuse problem...the level gauges, has nothing to do with the water pump. Is your inverter on for 12V...that's what runs your panel. If your on shore power, your inverter should be keeping your batteries charged (Acid battery need correct level of distilled water. AGM is sealed), check your batteries for proper charge 12.6+!
  2. Try a too go cup! You won't be the only one!
  3. Time to say this, it probably will be deleted. The plan seems to be flawless, if you work for FMCA or your a National Officer or on a Committee for FMCA! Wonder why them and not us?
  4. DD69, got between Keon and my approval of the electric pump!
  5. You can change the font and the color...red, green, purple, etc.
  6. Wonder why the right boarder is cutting my words in half? That's a first.
  7. Ranger is a beauty and Miya looks like she is up to something mischievous, in the last photo. As for me, I have always felt that there should be no "banned" dogs at RV Parks! Any animal will react to how it's trained and we train them! If you see a man/woman walking a dog with a spiked chock collar and chain for a leash, neither one, belongs in the Park to begin with!!! I have never had a reason to raise my voice, at any of the dogs, that adopted me! Linda has 2 dogs. Rena is a Black Lab Mix, that had been abused, beyond belief, for 11 years (by Linda's dead brother, he was PTSD from Nam) and she would not go near me, for a year...now we walk on/off leash and she will lick my hand. The other, is a Rat Terrier, 18 years old and totally wacko. She will not allow Linda to pet her, but will come to me for that. Her name is Patches, and Linda's had her for all 18 years. Rena for 4. My last dog, I was with her for 15+ years...got her from the Galveston Island rescue center when she was about 10 weeks old, the day they was going to put her down...I named her Lucky! She was a African barkless/border collie mix. Over a 2 year period, I trained her to come, sit, lay, stay and on/off. So there would be no confusion, from other people, trying to give her a command, I did it in Norwegian! She also knew my hand signals. After I put her down, I gave all of her and my, Air miles, to Shriners International, they got 548,000 miles! She went thru 4 coaches, knew 3 houses, 2 ranches, 4 hotels and a Lagoons 42 foot Cat, that I kept in Grand Cayman. Sold it 2 weeks after she passed. She was never my child...just my travel companion! Wayne, your right, the more you train and work them, the more they want. The more enjoyment you both have together! Is that a neighbors Long Horn and Horses or yours?
  8. Keon, is that Rotary Cup? 3-4 weeks of PT, but your arm is in a 90 degree sling for a while....hope it's not your dominate arm! I brock my left wrist last June and was in a to the elbow cast for 8 weeks! I'm right handed, but I drive with my left. That was interesting!
  9. Wayne. I re read WBill...forget my comment about golf. He might really be out there shooting something!
  10. Wayne. You don't shoot anything or body, in golf... X over/under par! WBill. Mustang Island/Corpus has a lot of winter Texans...We even have them on Galveston Island. The only thing now is, how long will it take to re build the infrastructure, after Hurricane Harvey! Pioneer RV Park at Aransas Pass is operational again and they are playing golf again next door. Escapee Chapter 11, will be there in April. Rockport is still hurting, but have friends that are going to the "Oyster Festival", first week of March, in their RV's!

    Washington DC

    Way back in 1969, I had a apartment for 3 month's in Alexandria, VA...even with a driver, I found out, that there is no such thing as a 30/40 minute drive to anywhere in DC. Must be at 3am!!! I can only imagine what it is now!
  12. Welcome back. You from "Down under"? If so, where. We have some members from Australia, NZ and Britain.
  13. I have used it on my boat's, when I had them. Also used one for filling the DEF tank on the 2011 Allegro bus!
  14. That's what I plan on doing, before going to Gillette. Lake Livingston, Texas. I thought I was set up at Perry, 2 years ago...nobody came for me. Then again at the Summer Convention, no problem they said, got there and was told they overbooked, sorry about that. Same happened in Chandler and Indy. So, I called Escapees...I'm a member and told them what my schedule was...as long as I give them a 3 day heads up, we will finally get it done! There are things that FMCA needs to improve on and this area is one of them....By the way, I did get my money back!
  15. Hi Roland. In a word, YES! Some start drifting North around the end of March, but the "Great Migration" don't happen until first/second week of April. Where are you at now?
  16. Right now, we are both in the same RV Park! Tuesday morning Linda takes her coach to get the CAT and Generator serviced...I will be driving back to Burnet and she will follow me the next day. I have my second knee injection Wed. or I would have waited here for her, at the Gladewater, TX. Ranch! Gosh Darn it's getting colder 55! Be 45/50 tomorrow and rain! Last year we where here at the same time of Feb. it was 80/60 and sunny! Bill. Is your friend on the Forum or are you hoping for a B or small C to chime in?
  17. Joe. You forget, Linda has her own DP 40'...we both, do not wish to blow over the 65 foot combo length. A truck hauling a 5'er or TT, hauling a toad is legal...but a coach hauling more than 1 is not...go figure!
  18. Joe. Not sure, but I think they have the 9,300 AC and Heat Strip...the HS might be a problem. I was thinking 3 to a site, here in Texas that would avg. $12 a night or $6 in Passport America! Linda was looking at a Ram Class B today! I asked why? She said that it's just a little bigger than her current toad (2014 Ford Expedition EL) and would make a great day tripper and could haul my Jeep to places with limited parking! Nice thought, we could clean up from 4 wheeling, change clothes before heading back to RV park! She was serious!
  19. Keon! Yea, team! Mark. When they first came out with seat belt's, it was the single lap belt and they where real good, in holding the lower body to the seat, as the upper body part, went out the window! That's why a lot of people refused to wear them...since my parents lived in Santa Monica, they would send me the Local News paper and I could read all about it. Todays seat belt's are not much better. The only seat belt made that is good and will save your life is the harness used in race cars!
  20. Joe. Yes I did. Put the key in the lock and turned both off...Think on it, would you want to be on a 4x4 rocky, slippery trail or "shelf trail of shale", straight up one side and down a thousand + on the other, and your dam Tanaka goes off, when you hit a bump! That don't invoke a pretty picture in my mind. Mark. In regards to the 16,000+....you pick a number!
  21. Mark. I have read this whole tread, just now, since I missed it last July. I was in Europe at the time. This is what I have gotten out of it...Government Regulations for the most part, is overkill, just another way to put 16,000+, clueless people to work! Any crash test, is a controlled environment, where mass meets an immovable object at X mph! The X mph is never Freeway speed and the outcome is mathematical predictable! What is not predictable is a faulty air bag, that has metal chards in it and has killed and maimed people, that probably would have survived, had they not had a bag deployment at 7 mph!!! I disabled mine in the Jeep Wrangler! Richard. That did not look as bad, as the Tiffin or any other cookie cutter, gas or DP, would have! I fully intend to get another coach, before I hang up the keys, and it will be a Prevost XL or XLll...The last XL (40 foot) was in 2005, since then it's been XLll or XLlll (45 foot). Point is, they are built like your 1964+ and will not explode with flying fiberglass in a accident. I don't have much trust in the H3-45...just the XL's. I'm at a Rally in Tyler, Texas and one of our members have a 47 foot Custom Built 2016 Newell. It's integrity, both inside and out, is close to the Prevost, but I would still trust the XL more! Mark. I would not want to be in any Class B or C in a 60+ mph accident...even with accident avoidance system, I can think off a lot of scenario's where it would get you maimed or killed, just by avoiding the other vehicle! I'll go with a foam dash mattress!
