installing a mud flap
evening ,,, going fulltime newbie here ,,,, 21 days away ,,,36 ft winnie vista 2011,,, i will be towing a jeep wrangler . is it necessary to have a mud flap on for protection of toad . and if so which kind is best . i see the full rubber ones and then i see the grass looking kind . i am thinking that the grass is lighter , therefore saving on gas . i trying to be very weight conscious . and are they easy to install or should i have it done . thank you ,,,rickybobby1.6KViews0likes6Comments2 questions,, routes and water
morning ,,,, question one , does anyone know what is the safest, best, scenic rte. to take from yellowstone to glacier . we are thinking its rte. 89 . is it to mountainous . or is there a secondary rte slower , more laid back that is worth seeing . question two , i am about to flush out my water tanks . do i really need to use bleach . or can i just run straight water through the lines and tanks and just keep flushing . thank you,rickybobby1.2KViews0likes4CommentsRe: new rv

my mom sent me to school with a boloney and mayo on wonder bread everyday to school for 9 yrs. i havent had a piece of boloney since 1968 . however , the wonder bread bags were used on my feet in the winter so my feet would stay dry . i still remind her of the abuse of it all . lol445Views0likes0CommentsRe: first snowbird season in florida this winter 2014/2015-help
dog folks is right ,, the people are real nice people . very down to earth and genuine . and also right about it not being touristy . and also right about the farmers who could buy and sell me ,,, funny thing is though the farmers who own the land ,,orange groves ,,, dont live there . they live in sarasota ,,, and are still my friends .348Views0likes0CommentsRe: first snowbird season in florida this winter 2014/2015-help
oh , yes , old people ,,, be prepared to pull a shopping cart of a moving cars bumper every time you go to the grocery store . they put it in reverse and go , no looking . oh and be patient while in the grocery store . old people do what they use to smack their for doing .348Views0likes0CommentsRe: first snowbird season in florida this winter 2014/2015-help
morning pattyann ,, i am a bostonian who lived in fla for 7 yrs . i have been to arcadia many times , lived in sarasota . the ants ,,well they are there . red ants actually . and you cant miss them . they make piles . step in one and immediately rip all your clothes off and get in the shower . like immediately . they can go from your feet to your neck in seconds . you will never even know they are on you until they start biting . the powder does kill them ,, what an awful smell to that powder . thats not what i would be worried about . as far as food goes ,,,not a problem at all . just keep it all in containers after opening . its humid there but not as much in the winter . what we call cockroaches , they call palmetto bugs . they are there ,,,and i use to have my house sprayed quarterly . everyone did . fla is buggy ,,,snakes , alligators , also . i mention snakes and alligators because they are in every fresh water lake,pond river . dont let the dogs go in the fresh water . okay so none of what i have mentioned should stop you from going . however ,,,,ARCADIA,,,,dont do it . its a pretty long drive to the ocean , one way, there is nothing but orange groves there . its farmland . the joke was , the best looking woman in town was the one who had at least 3 teeth . very backwards . very behind the times . alot of poverty . my concern is that there isnt anything to do other than hunt or fish . they did have an excellent rib place there ,,,forget the name ,,,and the rodeo comes every year . but honestly i wouldnt go there . i must be cheap rates or at least i hope so . if you want to be near a beach and activities , check out Sun and Fun in sarasota . it might be a little pricey now but it has everything . and its close to everything . and still off the beaten path . its on fruitville st. my mom stayed there for yrs. also there are some nice places that i understand arent too pricey in punta gorda i think ,,, stay along the coast . Arcadia is to central ,,,nothing there . you can always drive out there to see , well, nothing . PM ,me if i can be of any help . i know the area well . rickybobby348Views0likes0Commentsroof cleaning
