Propane fort worth. I35 corridor
I'm traveling along I35 south of fort Worth and I'm looking to fill my 36' class A with propane. Campground is $3.95 per gallon Any better alternative s? Back in WA I go to my local rv dealer & service center. The few dealers I've called in tx don't sell propane Thanks. Ed1.2KViews0likes4CommentsSeattle to Phoenix in December - routes in CA
I have just retired. 1st big trip is the Christmas holidays. I'm heading down to Fort Worth Tx. I know in the winter it is best to do I5 to California then turn left vs. Idaho, Colorado, NM TX to avoid winter storms. My question is in California do I stay on I5 or leave at Sacramento and go down 95 to Bakersfield... to I10 Or Stay on I5 to LA and pick up I10 there? Thanks,3.2KViews0likes16CommentsRe: The Big Green Egg
If you have a Sams club near by, they stock a brown egg, Vision Kamado grill. Same as the large big green egg, but less $. Which ever route you go, pick up a BBQ guru temperature controller. They make any wood, charcoal grill set it and forget it. I do 18+ hour cooks for brisket with the guru. https://www.bbqguru.com/519Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cody and Thermopolis WY RV Parks
We have stayed at fountain of youth RV park. It is older and sites are close together. We saw several 40+ rigs in the park. The nice thing is you can soak in their pools and walk back to the rig. It all depends if you are there for the hot springs and touring in the daytime or full time type resort. it is good for a night or 2 stop over, but it can be a drive into Cody.400Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1979 Dodge AVCO help
Shane, Starting or at least cranking it over every 3-6 months keeps the oil pumped through the bearing journals. If it has only been 5 years you are probably ok. 10-15-20+ yrs + and you don't know if the bearings have dried up or not. Houston is hard on things since it is 98% humidity 10-11 months out of the year. Everything rusts or rots and you learn to like the smell of mildew. Glad I got out of there after 7 years :)523Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1979 Dodge AVCO help
One note of caution on a motor that has sat a long time. A friend got an MGA that sat for 25 years. He was excited when it started and ran after replacing fuel, and cleaning the carb. So he wanted to go on a trip. 100 miles out of town it threw a rod. Upon tear down and inspection, the upper sides of the crank bearings were rust glazed since the oil had run off. This was in humid Houston, but you can have problems with the crank bearings if it has sat a long time.522Views0likes0Comments
