Re: RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!
On average, it costs about $5 per barrel to transport oil and gas by pipeline compared to $10-$15 a barrel for rail and $20 a barrel by truck 890,000 Barrels of oil are now being transported by rail or trucks DAILY that was transported by pipeline last year.466Views0likes0CommentsRe: Older Motorhome
IMHO using a power management unit that protects us from low voltage,pedestal issues and surges has prevented untold number of repairs. Example we were camping with a group and our unit kept shutting off due to low voltage when mentioned to a member in our group he stated that the unit shutting off the power was to much of a inconvenience. Found out later in the following 6 months he replaced the TV, microwave, A.C., board on the refrigerator, and the converter.466Views0likes0CommentsRe: existing customers not valued

Seems the price difference between existing members and new members comes up ever couple months on these forums. As long as it's been discussed, nothing has changed yet. As with your cell phone / I-phone data plan, cable or satellite television provider, even bank cards with low interest rates the first year or so ... it's the "bait" to hook new customers. Once on the line, they real 'em in. That's exactly why we never renewed with DirectTV, DishTV, Huges.Net, and a few phone plans in the past that started getting real dicey in price after a while. GSRA is no difference. They are tossing the bait out there, and as long as they keep getting bites, they'll continue. You won't win this one. Ah yes my annual 45 minutes on the phone to get them to issue credits to bring the price back down where it should be.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Temporary Hand Rail

But if you put it up as an assist, then if you do slip, you're going to automatically reach out to grab hold. From what I remember when we installed assist bars for my mom, thst was the biggest danger - if the assist bar isn't strong enough to help you when you lose your balance, then it becomes dangerous because your instinct is to grab it to stop the fall and it can't handle that - so you do more damage than without it. I did say temporory Since I do not know the practiclaty of installing true assist bars in a RV shower and I know that it would not be possible in a campground shower. IMHO They will work just fine to help stablize a person and would be better than nothing at all.664Views0likes0Comments
