RE: CO/Propane detector

Mine will go off sometimes when I am having the propane tank filled. It also went off a couple of months ago when I dropped a bottle of wine on the floor right next to it!! I guess it didn't like cheap wine.

RE: Santa Cruz, California in the late Fall

Our favorite over there is Moss Landing RV Park. We spend several weeks each year. Since you have a toad, it is central to both Santa Cruz and Monterey. It is a KOA. Small but really clean and neat. No amenities beside the full hookups, Water, Electric, Cable. Also some really good restaurants within walking distance. Fall is one of the nicer times of the year over there. And, if you are into Geocaching, hundreds of them in the area.

RE: Portland OR

Try Pheasant Ridge just south of Portland off of I5. Very nice park, Has a large shopping center across the street including a Costco gas station.. Rates are now 230-240 per week. We stayed there for over month and it was convenient to everything. Even has an indoor pool. It is in Wilsonville, by the way.

RE: Weber Q Series Portable Grille Not heating up

The first time this happened to me, I had moved my Q to another spot at the campground, hooked up the hose and immediately lit the burner. The flame barely heated it up and had to give up. After Weber sent me a new regulator, it happened again. Apparently I didn't know that you need to turn the tank on and wait for at least a minute or else the safety devise shuts the propane off. I had bought a generic hose then, but when it started happening again, I decided that the hose was faulty. I bought a Weber hose, and the instructions were on it saying to do this. It has worked great ever since.

RE: Will my new RV get a disease?

We have spent hundred of days at the beach in the last 9 years. I have never worried about rust. If it rusts out in 30 years, I won't know about it because I will be dead!!!!

RE: I like landfills

We used to have a landfill about a mile or so from our house. It is now a park. Back then, it cost 25 cents for a small Datsun pickup load. Now it goes to a transfer station. If we want to take our junk there, a small pickup load now is a minimum of 26 dollars, and they drive it to another landfill in someone else's town. That is one reason all the slobs in the area are dumping their old mattresses, sofas, toilets and assorted garbage down the street from my house at the railroad tracks. Make me so angry. Wish we had our old landfill back.

RE: Hankooks good? But made in China?!?

I replaced my Michelins with Hankooks about 4 years ago. The Hankook's ride is much better than the Michelins ever were. I was skeptical too, but my tire dealer/everything else dealer here talked me into them. They put them on many fleet trucks. Mine were made in S. Korea.

RE: Is this the longest winter ever?

I'm sorry, but even here in Calif, it has been very cold. Even today, we had to turn the furnace on to keep from having freezing fingers and toes. I can't really remember the past years being this cold in March. Of course, it isn't snowing or anything like that (it is California you know).

RE: oregon in august

Try looking up Pheasant Ridge RV in Wilsonville. Very nice park. Large shopping center across the road. Close to I-5 but not noise. About 15 miles or so from Portland. We stayed there a month and it was central to just about everything.

RE: Non cook trying to Cook in RV

Be vewwy verwwy careful. 30 years ago, my wife was working long hours while her boss was on vacation for several months. I got a cookbook out and started to make the dinners. I have since learned to cook almost anything. A few I let my wife do, such as HER spagetti. Since then, I am the chief cook at home AND in the Motorhome.

RE: Lights dim and blink at night?

Our converter pretty much fried the batteries. Had the converter replaced but not batteries. A week later, the water was boiling out of the batteries again. Replaced batteries. Been good for well over a year now. No more blinking lights.

RE: Awning rope lights?

Just think if a good wind started at 2 o'clock in the morning. How much extra time would it take to get them off before the awning gets blown away!!! I can get my awning up in about 3 minutes, but with a string of lights it might be 10 minutes or more.

RE: E-450 heater/AC vent position prior to engine shutdown?

I am a bit confused. Are you saying that you run your engine at idle at night when parked to stay warm? Why not turn on the Generator and use an electric heater?
