Twenty two sheets in a 8x8x2 inch box and it takes the place of detergent, fabric softner and dryer sheets. Does a good job too. In fact that is what I used on my last two Iraq deployments and it got my uniforms and pt gear clean everytime.Re: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012Was looking for new sheets for my Coachman and found these: Short Queen Sheets and Short Queen Bedding They also have other sizes for RVs, dorm beds, day beds, etc. . . Just click the link for bedding and you can find the bedding by size. I am in the process of ordering me a down alternative topper and a set of flannel sheets.Re: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & GizmosAlthough it is kind of cheesy, here is my tip. I use 2-five gallon buckets with lids to keep my electrical cords and water hoses stored. I use a red bucket for electric cords, adapters, and coax cable(red is used to mark power lines for digging permits. . .) and the white bucket is used to store any of the freshwater items such as the hoses, adapters, and regulators. I got my buckets at an Atwood's Farm Store for just a few bucks each.Re: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012this thread is starting to deviate from cool mods and is becoming a debate on one person's suggestion. I make a motion that we stop discussing the water heater controversy and get back to the other mods. JMHORe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & GizmosI wanted some kind of light to let me see to get in my TT at night. Leaving the bug light on all the time was a no-go as the bulbs burn out very quickly. I was looking online one time and found these online Motion Activated LED Light. I got two of these, one for each of my doors. I mounted the flat bracket to my TT, then hung the lights. When it is time to move, the lights just unhook from the brackets (which only stick out about an eighth of an inch) and I can press on. They are not super bright, but are more then adequate to show you where tripping hazards are and where the steps/handles are at. Also, can't find them at Autozone right now, but picked up a small LED light that has a cabinet door switch on short segment of wire. There is a small magnetic piece that mounts to the door to operate the switch when you open it. I put one of these in the under-bed storage area. Again not super bright but give you enough light to find what you are looking for.Re: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012You can check for different wheels on Northern Tools website also. They have quite a few to look at.Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESSchrisguld, Good tip, I just dug around on the back of my motoq and found it right where you said it would be. Since Alltel is being bought out by Verizon, how much extra does it cost you to use your cell phone for a modem?Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESSwell, looks like I will be joining all you on Verizon due to the new merger with Alltel. So what can I expect with my plan I have now? Will it go away, or will they honor it? something I am not looking forward to.Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESSI use a MotoQ with the 1200 minute Nationwide w/data plan (1200 anytime minutes, 7pm nights and weekends, unlimited mobile to mobile, unlimited text, unlimited data)plus I have 10 people I can use for MyCircle. It costs 109 dollars before tax, and then I pay an additional 10 dollars a month to tether my laptop to it for regular internet. Works pretty good for me and haven't had too many complaints. Funny thing is, a lot of the places where Verizon is, they are using Alltel towers. They both use the CDMA technology for their phones.Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESSNot to hijack the thread, but I have noticed that there are not that many of us that use Alltel out there. Is there any reason for this? I have had good luck with them and have been with them for six years. Any ideas on this? We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic.
