Re: Looking for a Lively Resort, Florida Gulf Coast
Wrong Lane wrote: MetalGator Thanks for the tip. That place looks like just what the doctor ordered. What time of year were you there? Wondering if it is warm there in March I have been there in March and be prepared for some cool temps and so rain. If you go to Cedar Key, check out Flyin' Marvin at the airport. Great flight around the key and good information from Marvin.500Views0likes0CommentsHeading South From Indiana to FL AVOID ATL
I wil be heading south on I-65 headed to Bonita Springs FL. I want to avoid and take the path of least resistance thru or around Atlanta. Suggestions. I will probably stop at DeSoto State Park in Alabama the night before I tackle Atlanta Which will bring me into Atlanta on I-75. Thanks5.4KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Decent budget-friendly FHU RV parks in Florida?
RVcrazy wrote: I am asking for next year, or the year after. We already have places for this winter. We are mostly looking for the area I4 & below, as close to the gulf as possible. We have found some places that are $1600-$1800 Jan-Mar, but want to believe there are other decent choices. We have found some reduced rates for December. We would hope to be within 15-20 minutes from a beach. This winter, we are spending 1 month in Bonita Springs, 1 month in Bradenton & 1 month in Clermont to look over some of the likely areas. I am hoping for suggestions so that we can preview places when we are in the area. Thanks! Where are you staying in Bomita Springd?

I have a cheap HF tote that has a rigid handle. I set one arm on the tote while attaching the other. Makes it easy. The tote I use for storing the wiring harness, safety cable, spare pins and a pair of work gloves. Before the tote I used a small step stool and then the cardboard box I use for the accessories. Norm Thanks Norm! While I don't know what an HF tote is, I think I get the idea. I've tried resting the 'other' arm on my bumper but always manage to knock it off. I will try with a large box I have - it will probably save me quite a few bruises! Now, if you have a hint for the pin that won't come out... Guessi I am lucky. No problem hooking / unhooking Ready Brute. I usually stand between the 2 legs facing the toad. If needed I rest one arm against my leg and pin the other. I have found one side usually goes in easier. Once you have one side in place and pinned, the other just slides in. Also, I always start out with the legs up off the ground, held by the ring used when in the stored position. This helps when I drive the toad into position. Very easy to judge if I am straight and the right distance from the MH to attach the legs. NEVER pound out the pins with a hammer BTW, I am a 71 year old solo traveller so I do this without any assistance.494Views0likes0CommentsRe: light weight towing package for woman

I need the lightest weight but safe towing equipment that I can use to hook up a Honda fit. My husband always towed jeep , but I found that Honda fit is lighter and lower to ground so I can hopefully load my kayak on it easier. I am 66 years old but not ready to quit living. Please help me choose best towing package for me. Thanks!! Look at Ready Brute Elite system. http://www.readybrake.com/store/p4/ReadyBrute™_Elite_RV_Tow_Bar.html All aluminum, weight just 40 lbs. has 8,000 lb capacity (more then enough for a Fit). I have used mine for 2 years. No problems. Just completed 6,000 mile trip thru Western State and mountains. And the Elite model includes a very simple braking system that will work fine for your Fit. Good luck.128Views0likes0Comments
