RE: Lowest gas prices you remember.
24.9/gal $1.00 you could cruise all night.Then came the GTO and it was sunoco 260 or white gas/hi-test.I just paid $4.49/gal for real gas 93 octane.Now if you want 110 octane or higher thats north of $8.00/gal.

RE: Going out for first extended trip - any suggestions?
I think air bags and upgrading the shocks is one of the best mods I did to my truck.I inflate the bags just enough to keep the overload springs engaged.I also added a rear view camera,bought my from rvcams.com.

RE: generac question
Generator Jim,Thanks for the reply.The part that stumps me the most is there is no consistency as to when the generator will shut down or how long it will run when restarted.Yesterday it ran for over an hour without any issue.I'm just not sure if an electrial part is overheating or its a fuel issue.I'm not that up on LP fuel.I have the manual and reviewed it,but still looking for other ideas.Could the fuel lockout solenoid be overheating shuting off the fuel flow? All thoughts appreciated.

RE: Nat Geo Doomsday Preppers truck camper
He was at the Tampa Rv supershow a few years back and was towing a lance trailer behind that rig.I wondered how those solar panels fair mounted on the front cap?I took a bird strike on mine which left a dent and it was right at the end.

RE: generac question
Since there not one reply about bad control boards I'm assuming they don't go bad often.For those who replied that it maybe a fuel/regulator issue.Do you mean the regulator on the generator? The one at the tanks has been replaced.Is there a way to test the regulator or is it just replace and hope for the best?

RE: generac question
The oil level is fine and it doesn't appear to be the oil/temp switch as I bypass them and the problem was the same.I did noticed this problem started shortly after up grading the convertor.I went from a 45amp to 55amp on the advice of the best convertor tech.

generac question
I know several people have problems with these generators,and I had my share.The generator in question is a impact 36 plus lp model.Recently it started to shut down after it runs for a while.It may run an hour before this happens or it may only run 20 mins.Then it will restart an may stay running 5 mins or up to 30 mins before shuting down again.I'm wondering if the control board is a known weak spot in these generators? I had a similar problem with the refrigerator and after replacing the control board all was well.Thanks

RE: pricing on replacing roof OUCH!
I was at the tampa rv show this past week,and there was this booth there with a display on spray on roof coatings.My first thought was this is just a thin coating similar to spray on bed liners.However the material was about 1/4" thick and real pliable.I picked up a card as I would consider this if I needed a roof.The web site is rvroof.com.

RE: Florida West Coast
I just got home from a three day stay at FT Desoto to me it was great.Its on par with the state parks here in florida not a resort.The pull thru sites will fit most any size RV,some back in sites are tight.With that said I saw a semi tractor with a fifth wheel in one.I tried to extend my stay but all sites were taken.I'll be back.

RE: What is workamping?
I also wonder about work campers.If you just get a free site and no pay do you get a 1099 for the value of the site?

RE: Using "tent only" site?
Wow this thread seems to have stirred the pot.What I have found is they may let small TC,class B,and all most always pop up tent trailers in tent sites.However it's when they let a single tent take a 60' pull thru it makes you say what.I was refused a pull through once when I had the TC and A 20' trailer.

RE: Preventative roof maintenance?
since its a metal roof coatings are much cheaper and are available at home improvement stores.I have a metal roof on an enclosed car trailer which I clean and recoat as needed.The white coating seems to help keep the inside somewhat cooler and no leaks so far.Trailer is 20 years old.

RE: Another red light camera area.
T-bone crashes are second only to head on as far as a deadly crash.I worked 30 years as a firefighter/paramedic and saw far more fatal t-bone crashes.Stop if you can, if you get caught man up and pay up.

RE: Fresh water accumulator tank
I'm adding the 2 gal expansion tank to my truck camper in the next day or two,have everything I need execpt some foam to wrap around the tank.If you have the space I think you would be happier with the larger tank.When I check the larger tank even cost less.

RE: Tampa RV Show 2013
I'll be there as its only a 20 mile drive for me.Besure you check the weather before making a 1000 drive.Last year the weather was good,but the year before not so much temps on the days we went low 50's with strong winds.

RE: Tampa RV Show dry camping
I just checked there site and they don't mention the two day pass that they gave you in past years.Also I don't remember a different price for parking a rv vs a vehicle.As stated they come around in the evening to collect the over night fee.They still have the dollar off coupon you can print off.
