I can see where your all controlled by the DW! You know, there is only one dessert that is harmful to your health? A wedding cake! Carl

When it comes to electrical, any voltage will arch! Don't know where you get the "face shield/glove" thing from?! In RV application, we are not dealing with High Power Lines and power assisted breakers. Just the normal 50A!

kmsheets. Welcome to the Forum! "scare" lights? What's that? In regards to siding it would help to know what part of the country your at. Carl

Glad that I don't have to make that decision! Only one I have is, do I want to go via Atlanta, AL. or Tallahassee, FL. Either one is about a 180 miles further than taking I-20 across to secondary roads for Perry. Jury is still out. Carl

FIVE. Did you go thru the FMCA Michelin Fleet discount when you got your tires? If not, why? Carl

Joe. To answer your question. The Mountain Air has more bells and whistles than most, so yes he has a water fill off city water and he has the same side fill as I have. But, he is boondocking and needs a way to fill from bladder or a water truck...in other words a portable pump! Now, why anyone would take a High dollar coach out in the boonies is beyond my comprehension! Google Newmar. Carl

ObedB. 65 in a Subaru? Yea, you would have a little problem! Bill. Gladewater is 12 miles from Longview, in Texas on Hwy. 80 north of I-20. I'm staying right where I am, in a nice big 70' x 120' barn ! All the rain will have left to East Coast by Sunday the 13th and that whole week (per NOAA) is dry, here and in Perry! Herman will be wet until Thursday this week. My coach is washed and I will wax it tomorrow in Barn! Where are you? 11 days to Forum get together! Carl

Having had most of the brake systems, and given away some including a Blue Ox to a friend on this forum, I found that I like the Invisi Brake the best ! That said. They are all good, just depends on your ride (toad), coach and how much you are willing to pay! Everyone has what they like! I do agree with Brett ! Carl

Ray. I run Heat Pump if above 40 degrees. Aqua Hot diesel below 40 and always for shower. AH Electric for dishes and cleaning! A long time ago in the land of me, I loved to ski. That's when we had a built in Ceramic gas heater! The greatest thing I ever had in a coach....it would keep us in shorts no matter how cold it got outside ! Carl

Joe. Your not over thinking, a lot of folks use regular furniture in their RV's and it's safe as long as they are secured for travel....what ever makes a body comfortable works! You off course would get lost in a recliner that fits me! I would have to give you a ladder to reach my cabinets in my house! Your whole family could sleep cross wise on my Calif. King! Just a matter of perspective... Carl

ObedB. I was born in Norway during WWll and you don't know the meaning of COLD tile bathrooms! For 10 years I froze 8 months a year... Bill. I know, he's booked about 8 to 10 months out.. Carl

Thanks. Interesting read. Ever see a FEMA trailer up and personal? Guess the Gov. does not have to follow Gov. laws! Carl

I live in Texas and I don't do extended warranties on anything! Put the $$ in a separate account and you will save $$! Think of Insurance as a casino. Who makes $$ and why. they all bet on the pass line and win big! Carl

A coach with all tile (mine are heated) is still cold on old bare feet! When I bought my last house in 07', it had 2336 sq. feet of tile! I replaced it with Bamboo in kitchen and bathrooms, the rest is wood. I still have rug in bedrooms! Since I have decided to keep this coach, instead of getting a new one in Perry. It will be all wood as I slowly re model it. Yes, I will get back with Erniee! I don't know what the weight of tile is, other than a bunch! Carl

jergeod. That's good information! Thank you. Carl

Gotten 2 mails from Escapee about all RV's coming under the HUD building standard. Not law yet! It would be totally ridicules, has anyone in FMCA been on this also? Like the legal dept? Carl

Ouch! No Tax in Oregon. Montana, New H. But a $289 federal in all states! Suppose to be disposal fee....friend came for my 8. Still had to pay the Feds! FIVE. Was that with the FMCA Fleet? Carl

I love cast iron and have a bunch at house, unfortunately it weights a ton, so only have one pot with lid in coach. I also use Mc Ware from Houma, LA. and Kitchen Aid frying pans...for out doors I use a Weber 200 grill and a Cajun Cooker. Carl

I like traveling by ship as much as by RV. The new thing (about 4 years) is women of all ages will have one or two miniature dogs in a baby buggy aboard ship. They call them Anxiety Dogs! I have seen more than a dozen women that can't seem to understand that what may be legal in the US, does not apply in foreign countries! The Service dogs that we, and most other Nations around the world recognize as legitimate, does not cover Anxiety! One told me last year in late April on a Trans Atlantic cruise to Barcelona, Spain that she could not leave her "children" at home! I asked her if she had checked on the Import laws of Spain and she informed me that both dogs where protected as Service dogs! The doggie police got them in Barcelona....3 months Quarantine at US $ 20 per day, per dog! Very expensive lesson! Carl

Joe. You, need "something new to play with"? A better mouse trap, for the week-end warrior! No wonder your DW gives you, that stare... Carl

In campgrounds, I always make sure that breaker is off. I have been in some parks, where I take a tester and make sure its off before plugging in. Carl

Miss information? Not sure what his real problem is! Herman. I do the tank and pump thing also...low pressure and too high pressure With a 100 gal tank it's convenient. You'll be driving in two to three days of heavy rain to Perry. I'm now in Gladewater until the 13th. We are suppose to get 5" to 8" of rain Tues-Thurs! Carl

Place some extra insulation in the dog house cover and you don't hear much...

Herman. Are you double dipping? Cabinets and doors...always been that way! A coach new, will run as much or more than the house, so it better have as good cabinets and fit/finish as the house! Carl

7mpg at 65? I'll take that any day! I run at 63mph on economy mode. That's 1600 to 1650rpm. Avg. mpg 6.5/7.2. On a 425 Cummins. Carl
