RE: Storage bin locks
Yes, leave them unlocked. In 7 years of fulltiming we have never locked the compartments.
It really is safe out there.

RE: Carriage Cameo
I think you will love it. We have been living and traveling in ours for over 7 years and if anything happened to it I would search for a used Carriage to replace it. Check out the Yahoo Carriage group with any questions. There are over 2000 members of that group and it is very active.
Good luck,

RE: Over Weight?
With everything that is posted online lasting forever and being traceable, I can't imagine too many people who tow overweight admitting to it. Whats to be gained?
I do know a number friends that will admit to it after a few cocktails however. :)

RE: How often do you drain hot water heater tank?
In 7 years of fulltiming we've only drained it twice when I changed the anode.

RE: Curious about something...
I don't think you are there to "suck up" to anyone. Part of your job is to enforce the rules of the people that hired you. If you explain the rules to the 5% and they won't comply, your job is to report it to the rangers. They are responsible for making the final decision.
You're not doing your job if you let campers ignore the rules.

RE: FullTimers: how do you get your movies?
You can use any Redbox kiosk. Just make sure you browse and reserve the movie at the nearest kiosk.

RE: dual pane windows & weight
We have them and would not be without them. Our unit weighs under 200# more with dual pain windows vs. single pain. Advantages: less outside noise heard inside the 5er, no condensation like on single pain windows which causes moisture to run down the inside of the bedroom windows after a nights sleep. Our unit feels less inside temperature fluctuation during outside temperature swings. Dual pain windows just seem to make the 5er have a more comfy and cozy atmosphere.

Power Awning?
We just lost our stowed awning in a violent thunderstorm yesterday and are considering replacing it with a power awning. Thought being that we'll use it more if it can be deployed with the press of a button.
Any advice as to brand or features? Is the wind sensor worth it? We've heard
conflicting opinions. We weren't particularly satisfied with the Carefree awning
that came with the rig. The fabric faded badly and the hardware wore somewhat.
Is Dometic any better?
Any and all comments appreciated.

RE: boxed curtain valances
I just removed every one out of our 5er. Every one had Pan/Phillips head screws. Look up under the valance, use a flashlight if needed and you will see that there are 2 to 4 screws either screwed directly into the wall/cabinet or using "L" brackets with 2 to 4 screws. I tried to make it harder that what it actually was at first. Think simple and you will find the answer on these things.
We kept the top headers in the living room, but removed everything in the bedroom and the side pieces everywhere. It visually really opens up the space, we think.

RE: RVing to New York City
Best park is at Croton on Hudson and is about 50 minutes train ride to Grand Central in midtown Manhattan. Nice park right on the Hudson river and least expensive.

RE: Too old to continue traveling ? Grown children urging ..
Everybody's different. We didn't come out till I was 69 and I had never driven anything more than a car. We've been out 7 years now, have been all over North America, towed over 65,000 miles and still going strong. I'll park it when I feel I'm not up to it any more, or my wife tells me it's time, not before.
Go for it - you only live once.

RE: Gas/service station with ample in and out space????
Most gas stations are filled by semis. I did that for 17 years. I haven't found one yet I couldn't get in with my 5er. Its much smaller than any of my semis were, and will turn much tighter.
I agree, we just eyeball the station before going in, and in 7 years I can count on one hand those we had to pass up. It's not an issue, it's all in your head. :)

RE: Buying new F 350 diesel how often do you
On my "02 7.3L it is recommended every 5,000 miles and that is what I do & I use Shell Rotella T 15-40 diesel oil. :)
We've got 140 K on it and we still follow the procedure.

RE: Camp hosting - biggest hassle
Should have told the dog owner that if the ranger came out he would give her a ticket also for the dog off leash. Bet that would have changed her mind.

RE: Need Slide Motor/Gearset for Carriage Cameo
You might pose that question on the Yahoo Carriage group forum, it's been discussed a few times. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Carriage_RV/
They used to be supplied by a company in California.
Good luck,
