Re: Admission to CA after DUI 10 years ago
SWD wrote: In the end the moral of the story is.......Dont drink and drive...and you'll save yourself and others a lot of headaches! And this answers the OP how? That ship sailed 30 years ago for me. Lots of advice to contact the right authorities, nobody says who or how or gives a link/ phone # to an actual office or agency. Lots of conflicting info here about the ten year rule, I need to find an answer from a real live person. Any suggestions?476Views0likes0CommentsRe: Boondocking at Big Bend Nat'l Park
You might check out the Black Gap WMA east on Ranch Rd 2627. Really busy during hunting season and empty the rest of the time. Some campsites on paved roads, but not to private, others way off. Check at the office for permission, it was free last time I was there.523Views0likes0CommentsRe: Liquid Roof primer
busyguy, Spelling is wrong, try "JetCoat elastomeric", it is NOT an edpm coating but can be used over them. Personal experience of 40 years in the construction industry, epdm is the only way to go, everything else fails in 3-5 years. Your results may very.

Another thing to sleep warmer on the thin mattresses in pop-ups is to put Reflectix or similar "space blanket" type insulation under the mattress. That 1/2 inch plywood isn't very insulating. Gave some to fellow campers in KS one fall, they said it helped a lot.145Views0likes0CommentsRe: How far can you comfortably tow in a day?
The late DW and I used the 2/2/2 rule. Stop at 2:00PM or 200 miles whichever comes first, stay 2 days. We learned this from some fellow RV'rs we met our first year traveling. If we didn't stay 2 days, we wouldn't sight see and would have missed SO much. We could make it across the country in a month or less, but lots of times we would find a great place to stay for a week or so. Don't know how it will work now that I'm alone, but it probably won't be faster. TomJ182Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
A lot cheaper and faster than plexiglass is the shrink plastic "storm window" kit sold all over in the fall. We used it last winter in KS and it really cut the draft off the door when the wind blew. Pulled it off this spring and have plenty for two more times from a $5 storm door kit. Had some small pieces of plexi-glass i cut to 2" high by long enough to go in behind the stiles of the medicine cabinet. We didn't need to even glue them with so much stuff in there and they remove for easy cleaning. Also drilled a small hole in the commode room light and wired a 12v white led across the switch terminals. Now with the wall switch on and the fixture switch off, we have a perfect night light for boondocking. Took out the HEAVY 27" tube tv, mounted the new LCD on a swinging door in front of the old hole and now have 30"x30"x 24" inches more storage. Replaced the cruddy surround sound system with a car stereo with rear and front inputs and 4 speaker output. Plug the TV audio out in for lots less draw on the battery, don't even need the inverter for radio/cd. A 12" or so fan for my Ryobi batteries that moves a lot of air for hours and the batteries charge in one hour.318Views0likes0Comments
