When we were out of the country for a month back in October 2011, Terry and Gene graciously volunteered to keep an eye on the Forum and moderate it while we were gone. It was supposed to be a temporary thing, but they were still doing it three and a half years later. Moderating a forum is a pretty thankle...

Today reminded me of why we normally don't visit our daughter in Dallas this time of year. We're sitting in the RV having just ridden out a squall line with ½ in hail and 40+ mph wind with water flowing up to the bottom step on the motorhome. Came down fast and furious. And we are 'boon docking' as the pow...

First of all, the youngest son has healed up, so Jo is back at home with me in Colorado. She sure is enjoying getting back to sleeping on the Select Comfort mattress, and I'm sure enjoying not having to fend for myself with regards to meals. As many of you know, I can't cook. I started my workkamping job...

It's all Texas's fault. Y'all need to turn the water off or send it to California! Really Two weeks past and another one beginning. Oh well, it beats the ice and cold weather.

We are in the process of mounting the monitor for a 4 camera system in our truck. Where do you guys mount them? On the dash, or on the floor by the 4 wheel drive shifter, other ideas? Thanks!!

Hello! I remember that Howard wrote a detailed post on the V.A. Aide and Attendance program a few years ago. I have searched the daily journal but cannot find the posting. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks.

Well, it appears the repair / potential engine replacement on our truck is going to be a lengthy process and we can't stay where we are. An event is coming to town and this RV park will be fully occupied. So now we're trying to figure out how to get the 5th wheel moved. Our Ford Extended Warranty doesn't c...

Due to us not be able to mention our Savior on an Happy Easter I protest this and only way I know how is to separate myself from this forum.

I am wondering if there are any Class C owners of Fifth Wheel owners that have modified the area over the cab/fifth wheel. I ask because I have a Class C and as I get older it becomes more difficult to get up in the area over the cab to sleep. Mine is solid and not cut out like some of the newer models. Please l...

I don't know how many of you Military folks are working with USAA, but I really got a shocker this afternoon.

Hope everyone is ready to enjoy some great Spring weather! We are still in Virginia where it's 37 degrees and raining but at least we are far enough south to miss the flurries today!

Due to art shows / work schedules and the need to be connected during the week, we generally have our travel / stays planned out 1-6 months in advance. I know many of you hate doing that, but it's our reality as we are not retired and have work obligations. However, this time was going to be different, we h...

Just saw this post on Reuters New Aluminum Battery For Smart Phones Can Be Charged In A Minute 7500 cycles... a lifetime of recharges. Could this, being sufficiently large enough of a bank, be the future of RV batteries? They only produce half the voltage of Lithium-ion, surely that's a minor detail...

I've been doing a lot of genealogy for both Dave & I and as I look something stands out - - no matter which family it is, from which country, going back 11 generations or more, we seem to be descended from those who moved on over the horizons while their siblings/parents stayed behind. So maybe our d...

In spite of the fact that I am also a Christian, I don't make the rules for the forum, but I am required to use my judgement as to what action to take when a religious topic arises.

Let me begin by saying my DH loves his tools! He had a big Kenndey machinists tool box and a big Snap On tool box. They were/ are full of tools.
