Re: Texas Hill Country
Our trip took place from late March to early April. We really enjoyed Texas! Thanks again to all for your helpful suggestions. If you like reading trip reports, I blogged the whole trip. My blog is in no way commercial (at least not for me; I'm sure WordPress is making money off of my content, but that's another story). If you are going to be offended by me posting a link here, just don't click on it. Save yourself the trouble. (I only say this because one time when I posted a link to my blog someone here got in my face about "promoting" my content.) Here is the link to the start of the trip. Each succeeding day or group of days is linked at the end of each entry. -Speak1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Tire Rotation
Tvov wrote: Speaking of "aging out"... how old are your tires? If they are the ones that came with the camper, definitely think about replacing them. Yes, they may look great, but they will fail eventually. I've never rotated the trailer tires, but I keep an eye on how they are wearing. We just don't put enough miles on it - so I've replaced the tires due to age rather then mileage / wear. Yeah, the originals are long gone. The current ones are three years old. Thanks for the idea though. -Speak681Views0likes0CommentsTire Rotation
Later this week I'll be re-packing my wheel bearings. My trailer has four wheels. While I have this project underway it would be very easy to rotate my tires. I've never heard or read anything about rotating trailer tires. I can't see any benefit to rotating front-to-back, but maybe side-to-side? Is there any benefit or harm to doing so? Do any of you do this routinely? Why or why not? Thanks, Speak3.1KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Texas Hill Country

This is one of the few places in the United States where we prefer to stay at a KOA. It is at the intersection of the road leading out to Lukenbach on US 290. The best part of the campground is far back among the trees. That would still be our choice. I'm not finding it. It may have changed from a KOA to a non-affiliated campground. It looks like maybe Bending Oaks RV Resort is now at the location you've described. Is it? Maybe? -Speak1.3KViews0likes0CommentsExtinction of Fossil Fuels
Fact #1: RV'ers rely on propane. Fact #2: Propane, as currently formulated, is a fossil fuel. Fact #3: The fossil fuel industry is in the crosshairs of the climate change cult. Opinion #1: If we sit back and watch it happen, we will soon be facing legislation that will make RV-ing, as we've known it, impossible, because all fossil fuels will be extinct. If you don't believe me, just look at what we saw last week in terms of the trial balloon of making gas stoves extinct. You may think that particular issue just blew over, but here in New York State, our governor is seriously moving in that direction. With one-party rule here, I don't see anything that is going to stop her. Then, what will be her next target? So - Q#1: Is there anything we can do to protect our beloved RVing? Q#2: If propane is no longer possible, what will power our RV's? -Speak2.1KViews0likes8Comments
