RE: Light Switch unknown? '00 Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision
In my 1999 Pace Arrow Vision, that switch turns on the light above the recliner just to the right as you enter the door. The light is actually mounted on the bottem of the overhead cabinet and has a rotary switch on the rear of the light fixture. I leave the fixture switch in the on position and turn the light off and on with the panel switch you asked about.
Bob
Ditto on mine

RE: Barron River RV Park - Everglades City --- comments ?
I believe you will find this park is closed and Everglades Isle resort has replaced it. The park is spectacular. Sites are listed for sale starting around $500,000 (not a misprint 1/2 of 1 million dollars) It is NOT worth it. Directly accross from the park are the docks and Marinas. This includes the famously noisy and mean as disturbed gator Airboat captains. They get a big hoot out of backing up to the RV pads and gunning the engines, spraying your rig with brackish water if you have somehow caught their attention and upset them. A large number of these guys were drug runners in earlier life (chokoloskie island was ground zero for the 60s pot trade and later the "square grouper" of the cocaine era. )I have no clue what these sites are renting for, but the park opened about the same day the stock market collapsed, so I doubt there have been many sales. It is spectacularly constructed, and a real marvel if it wasn't for the river traffic and being a long way from anywhere. If you are into all things Americana, visit the local grocery store, and you can say you have been in the worst market in America. Quite a trophy for your bucket list. The lcoal eateries are great to fair, Stone crab is readily available and is what people come to the area for. That and the fishing. If you like more to do, Naples trumps, hands down. If you want to kick back relax stuff your face with seafood, maybe tour a swamp or catch some Snook, give it a try!
If it has been converted to Everglades Isles, then I'm not interested. I did driveby there last year and wasn't impressed. Sites Packed right together, no vegetation== just pvers
BTW, square grouper refers to bundle(s)/bales of pot, not coke--

RE: Is there a CG with a boat dock near Englewood FL (SW coast)?
Check out WP Franklin and Ortona South COE parks. Not far from where you want , reasonably priced and have river access and ramps

RE: Need your thoughts!
I would stick with your current MH for this trip... you are familiar with it and hopefully it wil serve you well. WIth a new/used one, you will likly turn up problems that will need to be addressed and you really don't want to do that on the road on a first trip . Once you are down South , you will be outside much of the time so space isn't as much of an issue as it is when you are in an inclimate area.
We did a few cross country trips in a 28 ft MH with no slides and managed to survive. We have a Pace Arrows Vision with 2 slides now, it's nice with the extra room, but other than for a rainy day , we are outside except to sleep or watch a movie at night .

RE: Campgrounds along I-75
Atlanta South is right off 75 a bit south of Atlanta. We have used it a few times for overnights. Friendly people, large pull thru's and easy on/off the interstate

RE: Seaside RV in Ormond Beach FL
We stay there for the July races... nothing special... just a sandlot, some of the sites don't have sewer due to the pipes being broken a few years ago during construction next door.. but it's on the ocean and you have access/use of the hotel's pool and facilities

RE: Is Scan Gauge II worth it?
I find it really helped my driving style and fuel economy when monitoring the MPG readout... yes, it does have the tranny temp and your OBD connector is on the right side of the column... it's just hard to see/find

We have the same type and are very happy with them.

Make that X4 - - love the fact that NO snaps and that I can put them up without any help - no ladder, etc.
Barb
Me too --- This past week in the keys, I had mine on in a couple of minutes and enjoying a cold one while the guy and gal next to me were still struggling with the ladder and snaps on theirs.

RE: going to talladega
We stock up and fuel up in Anniston/Oxford at the Wally World.-- It's one exit east of the Talledega exit. AS mentioned there is the muesum on the property and the walk of fame downtown ( a few miles away) - They have the current year induction on Sat night 7:00 --- usually pretty cool as there are drivers there and ony a few hundred spectators. Cheaha state park is nearby and worth a visit as is Logan Martin Lake.

RE: Shame on me
Name the companies that you had the problems with so others can avoid them.
I would like to very much; but the way they sue everyone these days; I can't ----but there is only two RV repair places near Clearwater Florida; and I;ve been to both; hope that helps.
There are a whole lot more than 2 RV repair shops in this area.... without names, you are exposing the rest of this community to the same treatment.

RE: Tampa
If you NEED to be down town in Tampa then The Camp Nebraska is the place. We stayed there a couple years ago for two days while we attended to some business and found it to be an interesting place. The Camp Ground Reviews are correct so far as location but we did not have a bit of trouble being there.
Made the point of visiting the neighbors when we checked in and there were a couple folks that watched our unit for us while we were away.A couple bottles of Wine buys a lot of protection in a neighborhood like Nebraska Ave.
I would not hesitate to go back again if it was a must be downtown call. It sure is not a resort or destination but it had decent electric and services, and as noted, cheap security.
That area (Nebraska Ave) is well known for it's prostitutes, druggies and homeless. Not a place I would go

ST LUCIE SOUTH COE ,FL - site info ???
I was thinking about stopping at the COE park at St Lucie on the way to the keys in a couple of weeks but noticed that the available waterfront sites had a note saying tents were not allowed as the site was too steep. We are in a 37 ft Class A, but I was wondering if the sites are too steep to properly level ??? Any advice from recent experience would be appreciated.

RE: Gas engines - who has the highest mileage?
My old Class A MH ( 1978 with 454) had over 200K miles on the original engine when I sold it... last I know ( about 3 years ago) it was still going strong.

RE: Best time and place to snorkel in the Florida Keys?
THere is really good snorkeling at Looe Key..... Bahia Honda has a boat trip out there. Another good place to tent camp is Big Pine Fishing Lodge and take the Looe Key boat out of Looe Key Dive Center just down the road

RE: squealing fan belt on ford v10 in class a bounder
On my 1999 v-10 , the bearing in the tensioner started to fail and squealed once I got to about 55 mph. Replaced the tensioner and that took care of it.

RE: Salt Springs, FL - reservations cancelled
For what it's worth-- I just called and they said it wouldn't open for at least 4-6 weeks..... 2 full summers wasted to put in a sidewalk and railings..... doesn't say much for the efficiency and effectiveness of the Forest Service/ Dept of Agriculture
( On July 1, they said it would open by September !)
