RE: Brussel Sprouts ??
I drizzle brussels sprouts with olive oil and a bit of balsamic vinegar, then grind dried sliced garlic over, and bake in a 400 degree oven for ~20 minutes until browned and just soft. Just before it is done sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and bake until melted.
I use dried sliced garlic (Costco) and grind with a pepper grinder for a softer garlic flavor without burned garlic issues. I remove the loose outer leaves, trim the stem and make an "X" cut in the base of each sprout before baking.

RE: Washington - Oregon 2010
Summer usually comes on July 5th. NOAA sends weather forecasters to the Pacific NW to learn humility... it is very unpredicable.

RE: Motorhome stuck in mud
We used carpet scraps/door mat tucked under the front of the drive wheels. It worked great... just don't have anyone stand behind it.
I'm glad that it was me at 14,000 lbs rather than my friend's 30,000 lb class A that was going to turn around where I did.
Make sure that you are not plowing the earth with the undercarriage or frame, or you will probably need a pro.

RE: CPAP masks
I kinda have to wonder about the bite/hold with teeth bit. Seems that would be an extra problem with dentures. DH also has full dentures...and he sleeps with them in. I'm concerned about breaking the dentures...THOSE puppies aren't cheap! I was really hoping someone had already tried the nasal pillows you hold with your mouth. More research I guess. Sure seems like a waste to have to replace the mask every six months too. I had been told (elsewhere) that your body oils react with the soft plastic inflatable part. I wonder if that contributes to the soreness on the nose, etc.
We were told to use vinegar and water to clean the mask parts and hose. What do y'all use??
cts
I use baby shampoo and water to wash everything (mask, hose, straps, reservoir) weekly, and then I use 1/3 vinegar to 2/3 water to rinse the reservoir, soak it for 30 minutes, and let it air dry.
I wash the mask daily with baby shampoo and water.

RE: Campground Discrimination

Actually it should be CDO, with the letters in the correct alphabetical order. Clever! (I would have responded sooner, but I had to find the perfect word to use) :B
You don't know how long I have been waiting to use that... as I line up my mouse, mouse pad, and laptop.

RE: Onan Microquiet 4000 hour meter
Actually I was happy with the install and price from CW. They beat the price of two other RV shops, and found the pre-wire that one found and one missed. I must admit that I was amazed. They used the pre-wired start switch, which I expected them to do.
I've done a bit a research since I originally posted, and found an easy install for an hour meter.
Thanks

Onan Microquiet 4000 hour meter
I think that I am losing it?
I thought that I remembered an hour meter in the generator compartment, but can't seem to find it now? (I was kneeling in the mud while it was raining, so my search was not exhaustive) The manual does not show one there, but does show a remote contol panel with that option.
My MH was generator-ready and CW installed the generator. The pre-wired remote start switch by Triple E does not have a hour meter.
Is there a hour meter that I am missing? or can I add one?

RE: Leave plugged in over the winter?
We leave ours plugged in over the winter (we don't winterize, and use the MH year round). We use ceramic heater/fans to heat and circulate a bit of air. I have a timer that allows me to have the power on for ~20 minutes every 8 hours, and I adjust the time as necessary for colder weather.

RE: Hgher Speed?
Our 2002 setup is very sensitive on Cruise, will downshift to go over an interstate overpass on otherwise flat ground. I get much less down/upshifting if I drive without Cruise.
I've found that running faster does in fact eliminate some of the downshifts. If you can't run faster safely and legally, and then the transmission starts "hunting" (frequent, repeating down/upshifts) then you'll need to Cancel OD. The PCM (powertrain control module) is programmed to not let you lug in OD.
Good response, and matches my experience.

RE: Mammoth Mountain RV Great experience
We stayed there a couple of years ago, and it was OK. Location was great, and we were able to walk around town and to a nice dinner out. The teenagers registering us were not much into customer service. The restroom/shower rooms were very clean. The major issue was with the construction workers around us that were quite noisy late into the night.
I'd probably stay there again, but would find out who was next to us first.

RE: sleep apnea and generators
I don't understand the need for an inverter (12vDC to 120vAC) unless some machines don't run on 12vDC? It seems like an unnecessary draw from the inverter.
My 2 1/2 year old Respironics Remstar Pro M Series machine requires 120 volts for the humidifier. Respironics told me that a 300 watt modified sine wave inverter would run my machine.
If the humidifier is not used, 12 dc runs it fine.
I understand some of the newer Respironics machines have humidifiers that will operate on 12 vdc.
Yep, upgrade to a Remstar Plus M. when I did they just kept the old 120 half of the brick. the new one also has the "card" in it which some insurances want to check periodically.

Yes, that is what I have. Thanks for the clarification.

RE: sleep apnea and generators
My manual said that it is OK to use 12vDC including the heated humidifier, but indicated that I should use the 7amp fuse (provided) in the DC cord rather than the installed 3amp fuse.
It works great.

RE: sleep apnea and generators
Here's some good information.
CPAP Thread
I have a Repironics CPAP and use the 12vDC adapter cord from a 12vDC outlet near the bed that I use when boondocking. I use the heat and humidifier with (2) 12v/Group 31 AGM, and it has never been a problem.
When we have hook-ups I use 120vAC like at home and have a duplex outlet near the bed. My machine uses a 120vAC to 12vDC transformer to power the unit.
I don't understand the need for an inverter (12vDC to 120vAC) unless some machines don't run on 12vDC? It seems like an unnecessary draw from the inverter.

RE: Border Crossing Questions
We just came thru Sumas, and all they asked was:
May I see your passports.
Where do you live?
How long have you been in Canada.
Do you have any fruits or vegetables?
Do you have any meat products?
Do you have any lamb?
Welcome back.
He was very business-like and competent, and I'm sure that he was asking more questions than I was even aware of.
They're doing a tough job in difficult times.
