RE: Dash Cam
This is the one I have. The only problem with it is that it makes the GPS lad when finding satellites. Instead of a second or two, it takes upwards of 20 seconds to find satellite with the cam on. Video is perfect. Don't need a big $ item.
How long have you been using it? BTW, that same unit seems to be Here for a few dollars less, and with a 60 return policy as opposed to 14 days
I've had it about 5 months now. No problems with it. Video quality is pretty good. Although it has night vision, it's not like you see in the movies... you see a little bit further at night, but not much.

RE: Attacked in my sleep!!!!
I was sound asleep this morning about 2:00 AM. Suddenly, I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my stomach. My wife had a handfull of fat and was digging her claws deep in my belly. I squealed like a stuck pig and grabbed her hand to disengage the claws from my innards. I don't think she ever woke up.
This morning she asked if I had any scratches on me. I replied, no scratches, just some six inch puncture wounds in my belly. Her excuse was she was having a weird dream. A "little Mexican man" was trying to steal her purse, so she grabbed hold and held on. I don't believe her story. First, she never carried any money in her purse, second, she quit carrying a purse about ten years ago.
It all sounds a little fishy to me...........
I think you should thank the Gods that it was your stomach... it could have been worse.. :E

RE: UPS Shipping to Canada
I heard somewhere that you can refuse to pay the fee, since brokerage fees are only applicable to commercial shipments and not items for personal use, and UPS will let you have it anyway. They charge it for everything regardless, and most people pay it without argument.

RE: Disney World Rv Parks
If you want to save yourself the parking $ at Disney, the KOA in Davenport has a free Disney shuttle.

RE: Myrtle Beach Travel Park?
I also have a question about this park - are there fireworks like at some of the other parks further south (on a seemingly nightly basis)? My dog freaks out with fireworks to the point that he hardly sleeps at night.

RE: Passport America Lifetime, Thanks all, I'll pass
As a weekend warrior, it's hard to justify the expense given a lot of the restrictions are on weekends, but once fulltiming, I'm sure I'll find it very useful. By that time, though, it'll certainly cost more, if still available.

RE: How Do I Use My Water System? 1996 Winnie Brave
It's almost impossible to tell without a picture and just description, but water shouldn't be draining out of your RV unless you want it to. Play with the value leading up to it to see if it stops it by flipping to the other position. It's possible this valve may be broken. Your water pump will always run because it's never building pressure if it keeps draining and your water supply certainly won't last long.

RE: Syracuse NY to Tampa FL
66 to 17 to 95 avoids the traffic.
This is the route we take to Myrtle Beach. Great route. But, going all the way to Florida, we find 81 to 77 best.

RE: RV park in North Myrlte Beach,SC ?
MBTP is where we'll be staying from now on in Myrtle Beach. If anything, being free from noisy zooming golf carts will be a relief.
Golf carts make staying at the beach so much better!
Not for me. Too many idiot permanent residents at Pirateland spend their day roaming around the entire campground with their radios as high as they can go. If I were listening to the radio that loud on my site, people would be by real soon to tell me to turn it down or they will complain to the office, but for some reason it's ok on the carts. Add the fact that there are some driving that I doubt are old enough to have a driver's license. Security drives around, but don't seem to concern themselves with these residents, since they're the ones paying the big bucks to stay there long term.

RE: Syracuse NY to Tampa FL
Using a software package DeLorme Street Atlas (2013),
Planned trip using Rt #95 Miles are 1,274, and time is 22.3 Hrs.
Planned trip using Rt #81 Miles are 1,305, and time is 22.5 Hrs.
One avoids traffic and views through major Eastern cities using Rt #81, Rt# 77.
Just my thinking.
Hope it helps.
That's good thinking. 81 to 77 etc. is my route down.
Not sure if it fits in your timeline for a stop, but Falling Waters Campsite in Falling Waters, WV is one of our stops along the way down. Easy out if you leave early in the morning.

RE: BUFFALO, NY, Where to stay?
We're taking the trip there for a few days on June 28. We're staying about 40 miles out in a KOA in Medina, NY.

RE: stopping on the main land before the Keys
Although I have only done it once, Florida rest areas allow overnighting and have armed guards on duty.
Wouldn't be so sure about that.
Florida DOT indicates "Overnight camping is not permitted, but visitors may stay for up to three hours."

RE: Jacksonville, Fl. Traffic ?
Passed through once and used the bypass ever since. Didn't experience any problems passing through, just seems like a nicer drive on the bypass. The couple of minutes extra is meaningless.

RE: Buddy Brake system ?
The break buddy applies brakes every time the towed SLOWS DOWN...
Sorry, no it does not activate every time. If that were the case, it would apply constantly until it stops since, when it hits the brakes, it's slowing down at a higher rate. Pretty sure, even at the highest sensitivity, it wouldn't activate just upon slowing down.

RE: Buddy Brake system ?
Vantage select has a braking sensitivity. Set it to a low number and it'll only brake when you hit them hard. A high number and it'll brake almost everytime. Think of it like a pendulum inside - when the pendulum reaches a certain point, based on the sensitivity setting, it'll activate. Keep in mind that the pendulum is also reactive to hills - have the setting too high and you might find brake buddy hitting the brakes going down some grades because it's swinging forward.
