Re: So where will you be???
Leaving 12/6 for 4 weeks in Ocala, Fl. Then we head to S/W Texas for 3 months of fun and sun in the desert. Then home to pick up our hiking stuff and drop off the 5th wheel. Then off to the Appalachian trail for a month of hiking before returning home. Life is good. :B432Views0likes0CommentsRe: Atwood WH - Suddenly Stopped Working on Electric
Yep, sure sounds like the heating element went out. You probably had warm water left over in the tank from when you warmed it with your lp. I just replaced my neighbors in his TC, good news is that it will only run you about $15 bucks. Test it with a meter then you will know for sure, GL.246Views0likes0CommentsRe: Big Bend National Park
We are currently staying at Maverick Ranch RV Park about 25 miles outside of Big Bend. They have their own horse stable here in Lajitas. You may be able to work something out, or they may be able to direct you. Gl, its great down here but very remote.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Ride with the trucks or let them pass by?
I run between 65 to 70 around what the trucks run.I could run faster as the tires are rated at 75, but the truck and tralier are pretty heavy. Stopped at the cat scales on the way down, weighing in at a total of 26,132 lbs. I try not to follow the trucks as they kick up a lot of debris. I made it from Michigan to Texas around 1700 miles ok, but then got stuck behind this semi for about 5 miles. During that time the semi kicked up some rocks, and now there is a pretty large chip in the center of my windshield. Still all in all pretty lucky, 1788 miles and that was the only incident.220Views0likes0CommentsRe: STANDBY GENERATORS
We have a natural gas 15kw generator purchased in 03 for our residental home. It runs about 75% of the house. It cost $4,400 back then which included the Standby Gen. a 2nd electerical box with transfer switch and all the wiring. The unit runs a self test once a week on the date and time you set. Best thing we have done for our house. We live in Mich. and just lost power for 24hrs. and we didnt skip a beat, although felt bad for our neighbors. We pay $180 for the yearly maintenance, which includes the oil, filter change and a load test.107Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Orleans
Yep, stayed there last year. The CG will provide the shuttle and anwer any questions you have. Just stick to the main drag, lots of people felt pretty safe. We also left as it was getting dark. We did see a couple of drunks fighting, but that was the extent of it.389Views0likes0Comments
