RE: Please Get a Check Up
You are preaching to the wrong person here.
Naturally I feel sorry for the friends wife and yourself.
I am seventy seven years old and on zero meds. Every time one of my friends goes to a doctor, the doctor finds something wrong, and the end result is usuall and operation, or some med and that med usually causes something else to go wrong or ruin the poor guys sex life.
The last time I had a physical was about fifteen years ago, and I am not going to a doctor unless I have some chronic pain or something I can't cure myself.
I realize the criticism that I am going to get, but I am very happy with my life just the way it is.

RE: New travel trailer - what is the best length
We have been to Alaska and as far as I am concerned I would stay with the size that you have.
I say that if there are just two of you.

RE: Need recommendation for tire pressure for TT tires
50 PSI cold.
That is what mine call for, and that is what I have used in two different trailers and over 30,000 miles of traveling without a flat.
I personally would get rid of the chinese tires and get US made ones

RE: To old to pull that big rig.
I think the "hearing being not so good" is a bonus.
I don't have to listen to the boom box's when I pull up at a red light !

RE: Portable waste tanks
I wouldn't have anything larger then 15 gallons. They are just to heavy.
Also don't put black water in it. Just gray. It is just too messy to clean black water out of them.

RE: Ground Bees
If they don't sting then what's the harm in having them? Could very well bee ;) they control other pests such as ants or grubs. Eradicating the bees could create a worse issue.
Did you never try to have a picnic with your seven kids and fifteen grandchildren with a thousand of these critters swarming around you ?

RE: Ground Bees
No, they are not yellow jackets, and no they don't bite. We read that just the queen can sting, and she never leaves the ground.
And I would need ten gallons of gas and a funnel with a 1/8 inch diameter to fit their tiny holes, and there are hundreds of holes all over the lawn.
Most of you that replied don't have a clue what a ground bee is! They are black and not much bigger than a large house fly.
I was hoping that someone who has had them would respond.

RE: Newbie, Mice smell in air ducts?!?! Help me.
No need for an air compressor. Just use a leaf blower.
I had a dead one in my heat ducts, and tried everything, and that finally blew it and a bunch of dirt out.
Just be ready to clean the trailer afterwards.

RE: Miami area?
Miami Everglades is our favorite, and is close to where you want to be.
They have full hookups, a pool and WiFi
We use it on our way to snow birding in the Keys

Ground Bees
Any one know how to get rid of the small black non-stinging ground bees?
We have them in our lawn every year, and have tried everything, but can't eradicate them

RE: New TT battery box full of water
I drilled a couple of holes in mine a long time ago just for that very same reason.
I disconnect mine between trips, and take the box and battery into my house between trips, so I am not concerned with a leaking battery.
As far as I am concerned, you did the right thing

RE: Atwood water heater question.
Are you sure it is still firing after it reaches a set point.
My light will still stay on even after it heats the water up to it's set point, and then it will cycle on and off as needed until I flick the switch off.
I would think that if it kept the flame going, it would eventually blow the safety valve

RE: What to do with TV shelf
We stopped bringing a TV ten years ago.
We are nature lovers, and use the shelf for our nature identification books, and other books.
I added a small 3" high rail in the front to keep the books from falling out
You can get attractive small rails in three foot lengths at Lowes and Home Depot.

RE: Portable Gray Water Tote
If you are like we are and only turn on the gas water heater when it is needed, our criteria is use the campground shower if there is a stall free. If not we turn on the water heater and wait for hot water and then take the shower in our trailer.
I keep telling my wife to use our shower, and I'll gladly haul the blue wagon, but she goes by the criteria above.
We have a 15 gallon blue wagon, and I would not want anything heavier.

RE: Is my " To do List" going to work.
How come it only takes me ten minutes to winterize, and then another five to dewinterize ?????

Because you don't care if any green stuff is growing in your fresh water tank? :h :B
And here all this time I thought we were supposed to be going "green"!.

RE: New Mowers
How about this one ??
Three years ago I was in the garden center at Wally World looking for a new push mower, and happened to see a small sit on top riding one. They had three of them, and they were on sale for $250 which was only a bit more than the push one I was looking to get.
I asked the salesman why they were priced so low, and he said that they were no good and everyone was returning them.
I asked if I bought it and didn't like it could I return it, and he said "yes" within 30 days, but tried to talk me out of buying it.
I bought it, and this is my third year with it.
It has not only battery start with a key, but also a manual pull one in case the battery dies. It has three forward speeds plus a reverse, and has four positions for the cutting deck. I was curious to see how hard it would be to start it with the pull cord, so I tried it that way, and it is easier then my weed trimmer and starts instantly.
I figured the small 12v battery wouldn't last long, and thought sure it would be dead this year after the winter, (we are in the high NC mountains where we are below zero lots of times). Yesterday I turned on the key for the first time this year, and it started instantly.
Not too bad for two hundred and fifty dollars!

RE: 255,000 miles......same sparkplugs.
You say it is a small cargo trailer. What does it weigh?
I love my Ford F-150, but I only get 9 MPG pulling a 5000 pound travel trailer. I get 19 MPG without the trailer.

RE: What Can We Tow? What to Buy?
I had a V-6 Jeep Cheerokee, and pulled the smallest pop-up that Coleman made and then it was not happy on steep grades, so take it from there !
I think you need to look at something like a Scamp or one of those little teardrop jobs.
I have learned to not pay too much attention to what the book says a vehicle can pull in weight, but have learned more by experience, so hopefully more people will chime in here with some suggestions
