RE: Flag Pole, I want one?
We have two poles from www.polesandholders.com. They are collapsible non-metallic and have held up well on the beach.
That's where ours came from also. Very well made products.

RE: New Lance Dealer in Huntsvlle Alabama
I saw that Bankston is now a Lance dealer. That is great news if it lasts. Seems like there has been a constant turnover of Lance dealers in the southeast since we bought our Lance in Atlanta many years ago.
Bankston is a big outfit who has been around a very long time. I have no doubt if they fully commit to being a truck camper dealer, they can make a success of it. The southeast needs a BIG high volume Lance dealer. But, if Bankston looks at Lance TC's as just another RV brand, they will fail. They need someone on their staff who fully embraces the TC concept and completely understands all the unique issues involved in hauling around a 4,000 or 5,000 lb high CG RV in the bed of a pickup truck.

RE: Low Forum Activity?
I suspect it is more "Power" than "Pay". Some people get off on the power to delete, modify, or censor others…….
People who become mods for those reason have no business being a mod. They run off good forum members and suck the life out of a forum. There are plenty of forum moderators out there like that; most of the mods I am aware of on this forum don’t have those traits and only became mods because “somebody has to do it” for the forum to exist.

RE: Low Forum Activity?
I think the TC forum members for the most part are some of the most creative folks in all the other forums...
Agreed. Creative and self-reliant freethinkers. Probably better looking also.

RE: Ten Rules/Tips For Happy Truck Camping or More?
12. When pulling into an unlevel campsite, always park with the ground sloping up to the rear of the camper, then raise the front, not vice versa.
13. When using the camper jacks to “level” or “stabilize” the camper while still on the truck, stick a reminder (like a boat paddle) in the steering wheel so you don’t forget and drive off in the morning with the jacks down.

RE: Low Forum Activity?
I've been a member at tractorbynet for many many years. . .
tractorbynet is a great forum. I can't tell you how many times I have been googling around trying to find the answer to some obscure question like "how to cure a snake skin" or "barkside in or barkside out for white oak board & batten" and have found the best answers on TBN forum. Lots of smart and experienenced helpful people over there.

Here's a topic question for ya': If you had to make a choice, which would you give up: your tractor or your pickup?
:)
Glad you didn't ask, tractor or wife; that would be real conundrum. :) :)

RE: Low Forum Activity?
This forum has a feature when you open a thread that I wish the RV.net forums had: www.tractorbynet.com
Anyone know what it is?
OK, the answer is: At the bottom of each thread, there is a "Similar Threads" section. It automatically finds other threads that may relate to the topic. I find it very helpfull.

RE: Short trip to St Georges Island SP, Fla
The main SGI SP ramp allows up to 24' boats, but you can't get out of the bay at low tide.

RE: Low Forum Activity?
It is an insult to tell someone to "do a search".
Depends on how it’s handled. Search is a powerful tool for finding helpful information. Some folks aren't aware how helpful search can be and may need to be steered in that direction. On the other hand, just assuming someone is lazy because they post a question that has been asked before and chastising them is wrong, especially if it’s a newbie on the forum. To me, it’s about the same as correcting someone’s spelling or grammar and is a mild form of trolling.

RE: Low Forum Activity?
I found it best to read the posts and PM an individual that has info or if I think I may help. (Not always, I sometimes put it in the forum). I guess my personality can't handle minor public ridicule for the "stupid" questions I might ask.
Ignore the aholes and post up. In a way, pm'ing to avoid peer review is almost selfish. Posting helpful info on an open forum has the potential to benefit many more people than a pm to one person.

RE: Who's Got the Oldest Set of Electric Jacks?
What Brand? Atwood
How old? 1996 - 17 yrs?
Ever replaced? No, but it might be a good idea if we keep the camper much longer. They seem to work fine, but the manual crank stubs are soo rusted that I doubt they are functional.

RE: Short trip to St Georges Island SP, Fla
http://www.floridastateparks.org/ochlockoneeriver/default.cfm
We've camped at Ochlockonee SP several times. I actually like it better than SGI, but the other 3 folks I go with want to be closer to the beach. Don't let your Schnoodle in the river or leave it tied out unattended; there are big gators there that will get them. Also, you might get lucky and see a black bear there or the white squirrels who live about 1/2 down river.

Short trip to St Georges Island SP, Fla
Just returned from a short trip to St Georges Island State Park near Apalachicola, Fla. Been there a few times before, I think it has always been in the spring. Saw several truck campers in the campground (lance, bigfoot, palomino, arctic fox. Mosquitos were much less than previous trips. Sea trout were biting just about anything thrown their way. Fried oysters were great as usual. Weather was kinda of crummy, but acceptable. Next time we go, I think I will leave the boat at home and try some surf fishing, it looked like a whole lot less work.

RE: Battery Brand Recommendation
Ended up buying two size 27 Walmart EverStart batteries for $77 each. They say made by Johnson Controls on the label.
It also says no maintenance, so I guess you never check the water or add water?
I wanted to get the MAXX version, but it only came in size 24 & 29, not 27.
Thanks for all the responses,
Brad
