Re: "Mobile homes" flipped
Yes, the media often gets things wrong when reporting on things outside their sphere of knowledge. I was driven near crazy on the first day of Harvey coverage when several national cable news anchors referred to "Port Arkansas" Texas. No such place. It is Port Aransas. Here, they could not even read the word properly off a map.288Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slide Out Topper Problems
While tightening might help in some cases, I feel the bigger problem is they get installed so the fabric is horizontal - has no pitch or slope. Seems to me if the inboard edge of the fabric was an inch or so higher than the top of the roller it would help the water drain off. I see some that are installed this way, but not many. You would think the industry would have figured this out by now, but clearly they are not too interested in fixing this common issue. Mine also collect water in the event the A/Cs happen to drain toward the slides. So what, not designed to be used with air conditioners either?298Views0likes0CommentsRe: Can You Name This Device?
I copied the URL address for the image, pasted it in Google Image Search. For those not familiar, this will search the web for images that resemble the image you provide it. It guessed "material" for a search term, maybe because of the background. I changed the search term to "leg brace" and it came up with several photos that look similar. I clicked on one and got to the page below. From what I see, I suspect it is an ANKLE FOOT ORTHOSIS. http://valleyorthocare.ca/2014/10/27/care-instructions-for-your-childs-a-f-o-s-leg-braces/194Views0likes0CommentsRe: Computer is old
I've had good luck with multiple refurbished laptops and towers, but always went with Dell rather than Acer and such. While refurbished will seldom if ever be the absolute latest technology, in my experience they are recent enough - maybe within the last year or so.298Views0likes0CommentsRe: Squirrel cooked with Orange juice

Even when driving over 26k motorhomes. Doug Is it actually required in Texas? In California a Class B license is also required to drive a vehicle over 26k GVWR. But if you check the fine print there is a little provision in there that exempts RV's. I have spoken with people who didn't realize RV's were exempt from that weight section. What about in CA...... MHs over 40' but under 45' MHs over 45'? Trailers over 10,000#/5th wheels over 15,000#? We weren't talking about that. The subject was simply vehicles with a GVWR over 26,000 pounds. My 35 foot DP falls in that category. Since we are still talking about this, in case anyone was wondering, in TX if you drive a motorhome over 26K lbs AND pulling a trailer/toad weighing over 10K lbs, that would require the Class A Non-CDL exampt license. I never expect to need to do that, so just applied for the Class B. No mention was made about towing during the testing process.573Views0likes0CommentsRe: Drivers license requirements going state to state

While the details can be found in the statutes and such, here is the application for a non-CDL Class A or B exempt license. Note item 4 where you certify that you will be driving an RV over 26,000 lbs. https://www.dps.texas.gov/internetforms/Forms/CDL-2.pdf321Views0likes0Comments
