  1. Ian, wish you luck. When you get into La. try to stay at Cajun Palm RV Resort, Exit 115 off I-10...You'll love it, all paved roads, and cement pads, most are pull thru's! $35 per night. Lot's of places to eat within 3 miles of Park & since it's all phone orders and you pick up, you save about a third from eat in restaurant, part. All menus and prices are on line, since they don't know if your local or not, it's all good eats! We where there last night...Now where in Lake Charles, La. waiting out a storm! txtiger, you can get a 43+ foot coach in a NP camp ground? Where?
  2. We enjoy fishing and golf. Have found that most States don't try to make a living off of us. We generally get a 2 week or more, if we're 4 wheeling...some great lakes & streams in the back country! Otherwise it's 3 days or a week! Mostly we do catch & release, unless we need a couple of Trout for dinner. I would like to have automatic right, to fish in National Parks and BLM Land, with my "Old Geezer" Pass! Also, State Parks, with my entry fee!
  3. I have to agree with you, Brett. Especially after Joe L's experience with bad fuel about 3 years ago.
  4. In the past 2 weeks, we have been in a RV Park for 4 days in Texas, one night in Monroe, La. the rest, 10 miles south of Wiggins, Miss and now at Cajun Palms Resort, Henderson, La. No problems with food or other supplies and have yet to find a closed RV Park. Tomorrow, we'll be staying in Schulenburg, Tx. then home! docj. If you have as many cases World wide of Corona as we have in just the USA every year of the flu, then yes 1% would be devastating! Shortage of Hospital beds in Italy, is just a part of the problem...hygiene is the other part.
  5. Rich, that's the part I was not thinking of...what we all take for granted, even in high ambient temp, there is a delay and the lower the outside temp, the longer the delay! On OP's 7.5 it is recommended that you press on the off side of switch you'll hear the fuel pump prime the engine, then press gen on until it starts...make sure there is "no load" on!
  6. As per OP, 22 hrs ago, there is plenty of teeth on fly wheel and non missing, as he could tell. Said he had Solenoid on top of starter! No drop in voltage What are we missing? Fuel in lines, no air? bad fuel filter...I'm reaching!
  7. Basically it was a sham, as said we had no shortage of our own oil/Gas or refineries...but we had that dammed Underdeveloped Nations Bill. From what I remember, we had to shut down our spigot and refine Saudi Oil...Once Oil hits the refinery, you can't tell where it comes from, but you do know how much Diesel & regular Gas you get per barrel of crude. All of it had to be shipped back to Saudi, since at that time they did not have their own refineries.
  8. Wayne. Simple, Trump did not renew the Uhelp bill of 1964, that caused us to buy Saudi Oil, bring it here for refinement and give it back to them for free! We where also oil dependent...No longer, we have the biggest untapped reserves in the world...We never had a shortage of oil. Remember the Oil embargo of 1973? Since Saudi didn't want to back off...we told them fine, we'll stop drilling and tear up the contract...they have played nice since!
  9. Hurricane Elisha came in 1983, followed by Andrews in 1992! Hurricane Gilbert in Sept of 1988 cane to landfall in Mexico!
  10. All State and NP in NM and parts of AZ are closed. Most Major Cruise Lines World wide have suspended operation until April 11. What does that mean?
  11. Ray, Soy is correct...You can thank the friendly conservationists in CA for that..Fossil fuel is Bad! Bill, Price of oil is $30 a barrel, gas $1.58 per 1,000 cu. ft., Yea cheap at pump...Unsustainable prices...we'll pay for it 6 mos down the line. Don't blame us, blame the Russia, Saudi oil war!
  12. Hope nobody from PETA reads this! I'm not a fan of Rodents, ants, beetles, scorpions or snakes in my coach or S&B !
  13. I've had 4, 8 & 10 KW, my current one is a 12.5 KW.
  14. Bill is correct..Cummins/Onan is the same and most have Kabuto engine! DB. Welcome to our world! Everything comes in cluster!
  15. Don't get me started. We live in the country, like Herman...others want what we have, but their afraid to live alone, so they build big sub Divisions, require bigger roads, shopping centers, etc...SHEEP !!!
  16. Lose or dirty ground wire! Did you do as Brett said? Read his qualifications under signature!
  17. Wayne. Your's was 08' OP & mine was 07'! Mine was a Tour DP, 40' KD. I only got the OP's info on AC from Catalog for his unit/ also specs!
  18. We hope the 281 Freeway will be finished by then!
  19. Tom Cat is good. I go to Feed Store, Linda has the License and it looks like a long green Kit Kat Bar, with gloves on, we break into small pieces with hammer and spread in all bays! Once a year. I dust the water hose & 50A cord, tires with Sulfa Powder...No mice, ants or critters! Mice & rats will eat the green stuff,, get uncontrolled need for water,drink them self to death! The mice we found in bay, probably got into something in garage and died in bay...we had not treated yet. Bill. With zero deductible our premium would be $700 more than $2,,000, but the awnings and all none factory installed items on roof would not be covered...Yes the awnings are factory and don't ask why, so with 2000 the premium is the same as 0 with all replacement cost. I paid $3,341 on $300K.
  20. Bill, that's your old coach tires...you really need to mow better for your new to you coach.
  21. About 20% went back in coach and about 50% in bays! Our cloths closet in house, runnet over! Now need more closet space or about 3,000# donation to Salvation Army, I like the SA they are non profit...Goodwill is a private for profit company!
  22. That's easy! Overlooked, we think about battery posts, connections, wires and fuses...never, "what makes it all work?"
  23. Herman. Wedding? After Tucson, is all I know! From what I have heard Daisy does well on a leash, sit, stay, no tinkle, on/off no bark...failed in here or come as off 5 days ago! All 12 dogs got to play in the pond, then they all came out and one returned to pond and took a dump! Guess who? 😂 Linda & I will work with her, between Gladewater & Tucson! 😎 There are a couple of feral cats that come around, also Roadrunners, coons, armadillos, pole cats and possums...a large pack of coyotes, roam the area.
  24. Bill. You need to build a barn for your "New to you" coach! Before we took our rigs to MOT, we emptied both in barn. Then when we got back with our "New to us coach", it went into barn and got loaded, wind, rain & cold, only affected us between barn & house or cars. Monday & Tuesday I had Doctor appointments, this am I have another Doctor and then we leave for Tucson! When are you leaving for Tucson? DB. Yesterday and the next week, will be in the 70/80 for most of Texas, with rain...no big deal.
