RE: RV'ing old west trails
OP Here: Did not mean RV on trail literally, although at least one reply says small portions may be doable in 4WD. Just warming up to the idea of seeing old west history and how they actually got there is a big part of the whole story. We will be following the Santa Fe trail - just not sure yet what part. Keep the comments coming. Nothing better than experience!

RV'ing old west trails
Looking at exploring several of the old west trails: Santa Fe, Oregon, Mormon and California to name a few. Anybody driven one or more and did you have a good or bad experience (from RV standpoint? Found at least one with great interactive map and lots of detail -

RE: My wife can't decide, Please Help
Recently replaced booth with table and wall cabinets. Table wins hands down if sleeping space not needed. 1. More storage, 2. Easier access to stored items - just move a chair and open the door, 3. table length choices with two ten inch leaves in our case, 4. Great seating and arm space for five people, 5. Table/do-dad and serving space greatly increased with addition of counter top on wall cabinets. Weighs less and purely subjective - but we think it looks better and makes space look bigger. Also I have not done it yet but I plan to cut adjoining sleeper sofa arm down to same level as seating area. This will allow one to actually lay down on couch with feet extending over the end. Totally impossible with booth seatback in the way.

RE: Water fill issue
If tanks are stacked - emptying one tank could relieve pressure on the other allowing it to expand and suck air?

RE: NW US trip planning
If you are going to be on the WA - OR Coast for any amount of time, you will need to bring your Gortex underwear.
I know it may be cold and we will have some cool/cold weather cloths - but wonder why you suggest Gortex underwear?
To everybody else: Mountain Directory West $16.95 and Rand McNally Motor Carriers Atlas $17.96, plus reasonable shipping, already ordered from rvbookstore.com
Anything else? I was expecting comments about dealing with limited water and high altitude propane solutions.

RE: NW US trip planning
How far west? Rocky mountains west or Pacific ocean west. It will make a difference.
Both.

RE: 12-Volt LED Night Light
See five minute mod #2 here.
http://www.irv2.com/forums/f120/five-minute-mod-2-a-86820.html
I have since modified the mod. Eventually the led failed due to high charging voltage - so I just put two of the LED's in series. Works great, super low power drain and dirt cheep.

NW US trip planning
Leaving in a month for 5/6 month long trip to just about everything north and west of OK. We have been well equipped for our travels in mid west and east coast but am thinking there may be some things we will need for driving and camping in mountains. Any suggestions?

RE: Cargo Slide trays
Saw slide in new MH that used super slick plastic - UHMW I think. Slide bed has plastic runners along edges that ride on painted alum. angle. Virtually no lost space, light weight, cheep and possible for DIY'ers. On my to do list. Cost est. for my project is under $50.

RE: Too old to continue traveling ? Grown children urging ..
At 74 I have a long way to go before I quit. And kids supportive, as they say, "keep on traveling." If they said stop - I would ignore them. I think accidents and tickets are keys to the answer.

RE: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Installed - well almost finished - 39" TV and replaced temp cabinet handles with some to match existing. BTW enlarging 26" TV hole to 39 inch hole is FUN.

RE: TST TPMS Battery Maintenance?
I left mine attached from day one and in just under three years, five of six are dead. Highly recommend removing if not in frequent use. Think it is $20 each for new batteries.

RE: Cleaning fiber glass sink
Try Efferdent or any brand denture cleaner. I put six tabs in hot water - does pretty good job on coffee stains.

RE: DIY PVC Pipe Projects
Cut three inch piece (4" thin wall) in half and screwed to front face of cockpit overhead cabinets. About three feet apart. Now have almost invisible storage for rolled up solar screens when not in use.

Buzzard report?
Anyone have current status of buzzard population at Flamingo campground Everglades? Understand they are causing problems trying to eat rubber and plastic on vehicles. Hoping they have moved north by now. We will be there in a few days and there are LOTS of open spaces.
Interesting read
