I have read about this product, but have no firsthand knowledge of its effectiveness. It is said to be used by farmers to keep mice out of the cabs of their equipment. http://www.pioneerheritageshoppe.com/gifts...ic-freshcab.htm Sam

Bob, I mentioned "converter box", in my post. I used converter box in this context to describe the small (cigar box size) box that the government subsized for a while. Walmart must have sold millions. The converter box takes the digital signal that is now broadcasted and converts it to a analog signal that the older style TVs can use. It is my thought that you would want a convertor box near each TV sets. As an aside, if your motor home is equipped with a batwing type antenna, it will do fine receiving the new digital signals. I have also found that not all digital tuners are equal. Some seem to do a better job of picking up more TV stations than others. Sam

Bob, you may want to consider installing the converter box near the TV. Since the converter box acts as the tuner it would be more convient to have it near the TV. With one converter box connected to two TVs, both TVs would receive the same signal (station). With the convertor box located away from the TV, you would have to consider if the remote control would reach the converter box from the area where the TV is located. Just my thoughts. Sam

Check out Passport America (Google name). It is membership group that gives a 50% discount at a number of campgrounds. Camping World has a similar "club". Some are very nice; others are about like a parking lot with hookups. On a recent trip from Indiana to California, we stayed at Passport America parks every night except for a couple of nights in an Airstream Park. Their website shows the nationwide locations of the associated campgrounds. Sam

Wayne, been there; done that. If you go back that way, be aware of the potential high winds and make sure your awning(s) are secure. I didn't! Also, are you aware of San Diego's reduced, unlmited monthly senior pass for the bus and trolley? The last time we were there the pass cost $15 each and was good all month for unlimited rides. The trolley system is clean and great. Using both systems, you can see many of the "must see" sites in the area. Sam

We dumped at our local Flying J yesterday and there was no charge. Sam

The Kentucky Horse Park just north of Lexington, KY is a great spot. It has a nice camp ground (no sewer at the sites, but there is one in the camp ground). If you are into horsey stuff, they have lots to see. Lexington has lots to see around the area. Sam

Montie, check out Enchanted Trails. We have not stayed there, but have read good reviews. It is a Passport America park and is on the west side of Albuquerque and is close to Old Town. It is on our list of parks to check out the next time we are in the area. http://www.enchantedtrails.com/ Sam

This URL http://www.poi-factory.com/poifiles/alpha has a number of points of interest that can be added to some GPS units. Sam

Try this URL for the State Park that is in St. Augustine. I can't address their ability to handle a 40 ft. coach. If they can't, there is a KOA in St. Augustine Beach. http://www.floridastateparks.org/anastasia/default.cfm St. Augustine is truly a beautiful place to visit. Don't forget Ft. Matanzas. It is south of town on A1A and there is a free boat ride to the historic fort. Also, don't overlook Barnicle Bills for what we think is the best seafood in the area. Sam

Brett, thanks for your reply. I had checked my manual earlier and all they say is to leave the key in "accessory", transmission in neutral, and run for about five minutes at the end of the tow day. Since I have a charge line from the MH to the toad, I guess removing a fuse is a moot point. I will make sure the heater/AC fan is off as well as the radio. Next thing I want to check is if I rack up mileage on the toad while it is being towed. Sam

I'm new to the motor home community. I have been RVing for over 30 years, but we have always used a travel trailer, except for a couple of years in the 70s with a Class C. I will be flat towing a 2010 Toyota Corolla and know that the key must be in the "accessory" position and the manual transmission in neutral while being towed. 1) Should I remove a fuse(s) while towing? What are the ramifications with the systems in the car (radio, clock, etc.). --or-- 2) Should I just live with the current draw with the key in the accessory position and run the car at the end of the day to recharge the battery? I would appreciate any comments you might have on this topic. Sam Smith
