Re: Indiana Highway RV Torture Test
DutchmenSport wrote: Ah .... com'on folks. Indiana ain't THAT bad! Don't ya'll know how to drive in Indiana? Here's the instructions: 1. Drive slow! Bumps don't hurt as much that way. 2. Don't drive interstates, you'll save having to eventually replace your tires as county and state highways are MUCH smoother. 3. Never, never, never cross a rail road track at the suggested speed limit, or you'll end up in a ditch and 4 flat tires! Always slow WAY down and creep over them, even on main highways, you just never know how uneven they will be. 4. All newly repaved roads will be dug up within 24 hours after being completed and what remains is a gigantic bump, or hole, or crack, or something that will break the cabinets from the wall of your camper if you hit them at full speed. 5. Never drive at night in the summer. Your windshield will be so splattered with bugs, you won't be able to see through it any more. Very dangerous for on-coming automobiles, who also have their windows blocked by dead bugs. And oh ... don' turn on the windshield wipers or you'll just have pull over. Solution? Drive in reverse and use the back-up camera on your bumper! 6. The best driving experience is when you get behind a farm combine and can't pass. Actually, the ride is pretty nice then! 7. Or, just avoid Indiana altogether. I've been complaining and warning about our horrible interstates for years now. And to think, there are actually some folks on these forums who think I am silly for bungie cording my cabinet doors and drawers so they won't come open ... and I live in Indiana! Well, maybe they are correct. Bungie cords on the doors and drawers don't do much when the entire cabinet is laying on the floor!

To grill, I just pull the hose out and connect to my grill. Easy and simple and only took a couple of hours to do. My '04 Komfort, and most newer RVs, seem to have quick disconnects already plumbed in. Just buy a hose and connect to your grill. :h Lyle Not my 2013 Wildcat.586Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dislike of 'Reservation Only' camping
