Carrying a dog outside the RV interior?
I have a dog I'm fond of but I don't want to carry him within the living compartment itself. Concerns of odors and pet shed dings are on my mind. On the other hand I would like a humane and comfortable conveyance for him. Does anyone know of an an example or suggestion that might help me?6.2KViews0likes29CommentsRe: Saying Goodbye
I'm sure we'v all been slammed a couple of times at least, but don't take it seriously and definitely don't take it personally. We have many strong personalities here, and consequently strong opinions. That goes with the individualistic types of lifestyles we lead. I'd like to echo the comment of, don't stop posting. We learn so much from each other, even the know it alls learn so much. And the best of luck to you.708Views0likes0Comments- 803Views0likes0Comments
Re: Floor heat
Westend, I appreciate your comments. And I agree with you to the extent that electrical heating is not "generally" the best method of heating. But sometimes we just need a little heating help and it might be the ticket; so I'm conducting this experiment. Sometimes I'm out and the the night gets exceptionally cold, but just a little boost in heat will make the environment in my coach a bit more comfortable. This is in addition to to my propane heating system. I'd be plugged into the campground electricity usually, but even if not the max current I expect to expend is 15 amps. It's a DIY project so I don't expect to spend more than $300.00 for the heating film, thermostat, underlayment, visqueen, and overlayment. The carpet runner over the the installation constitutes part of the overlayment. The thermostat will be set only high enough to overcome the chill and far below any hazardous level. As far as Fido's accommodations is concerned, he has a heavy wire crate the bottom of which is a solid surface which will shield the installation from chewng. And the wires running to the power source and thermostat, will be run in conduit. I hope to complete the project this weekend.803Views0likes0CommentsRe: California RV Show in Pomona
I went with a good friend on Friday. The place was all but empty; mostly sales and staff personnel. I was very disappointed in the Dynasty, not at all what it used to be. I loved the Allegro Bus. It has risen from utilitarian quality, to a thing of luxurious beauty. I especially liked the all electric coach. I couldn't buy a new one but I could be persuaded to consider a late used one in the future. My friend bought a Fleetwood Expedition. They have come up quite a bit since last I looked.235Views0likes0CommentsRe: Floor heat
Actually I am planning to place some electric radiant floor heating in the hall way of my coach. My research indicates that it is quite efficient, I was thinking of first trying a somewhat temporary installation over the carpet and cover it with a runner. You can adjust your thermostat low at first to see if there are any problems. But first I'm going to try it out on my dog's outdoor residence. I'll let you know how it goes.803Views0likes0CommentsRe: Woodall's Family Camping Blog Seeking Writers!
I've been a camper of some sort for well over 50 years. You collect many tellable experiences during such a long period. I recently scanned all the camping photos I could locate into my iMac. The iPhoto software does most of the work for you and produces very professional looking images. I don't have any images of my very energetic, six year old grandson. I think I'll take him tent camping for a weekend when it warms up. I'll tell him fire side stories like the time the bear raided our campsite while we slept, at Sequoia National Park. I think we'd both enjoy that.1.1KViews0likes0Comments
