RE: Avoid Oklahoma if retiring
Property taxes are way cheaper than Texas. Look folks, the State has to make money some how to pay for services inacted by representatives and demanded by a majority of the residents. If we don't like it then we need to take appropriate actions.
A lot of Texans own property down at Lake Texoma, on the Oklahoma side, because of lower property taxes.

RE: Hitchhiker Fresh Water Tank Valve
That's a pretty good solution. I'll give it a try if it becomes too big a hassle to use the pliers. On second thought, I guess one of those "hose end" shut-off valves would just screw onto it?

RE: Hitchhiker Fresh Water Tank Valve
Same thing happened to me....I just use the pliers for as little as I have to use it.

RE: Greasing axle bearings with grease fittings
Just got through replacing those "non-existent" double lipped rear seals on my EZ lube axles from Lippert. Just as bad as getting grease on the brake shoes is getting grease on the magnet faces. You don't want any grease in there.

RE: Pet in campgrounds
Oh boy, here it goes.....the periodic dog barking and pooping thread. OP, please understand, there are a lot of dog haters out there. Just like everything else, different strokes for different folks. Please just follow the rules, and if the rules don't suit you...move on.

RE: Replacing Lippert axles with Dexter ?
Take a close look at those axles. Mine say Lippert but hangers were Dexter. Also, recently replaced brake shoes, got them from NAPA, they were for Dexter.... I wonder if they are Dexters, just re-branded?

RE: Quick MSCONFIG question
Try "Advance System Care - Free". It's a great program and has a utility for managing startup.

RE: AT&T Air Card
I originally had the PCMCIA 875 and it did not work correctly. Went on Ebay and bought the USB one. Switched the SIM and things worked much better. I also combined aircard to one account and had the same problem with AT&T trying to change my original plan form Unlimited to 5G. Took a lot of talking to the young lady but she finally figured out how to get my unlimited plan back. I suspect if you get a new "free" card from them you will loose your unlimited plan. That's why I buy my own....

RE: AT&T Air Card
Yes indeed. As more users are added to AT&T the speed slows down. I'm very pleased overall with AT&T and use it for my home service after cancelling DSL. Of course I have the old, really unlimited, data plan and use every bit of it and more.

RE: Open low drain point before filling lines with antifreeze?
Those low point drains can be hard to find. Look under the rig and see if there are any open pipes sticking out. Once you find these then start looking above them for valves. I have two different places where low point drain valves are located, one is under the big drawer in the kitchen, the other is through an access hole in the front storage compartment. They can hide these pretty good.

RE: CTR 500 help please....
Plug the aircard directly into one of the computers and see if it works. This will eliminate the aircard/cell phone company from your list of suspects.

RE: CTR 500 help please....
Is the little "cellphone icon" green or orange? If orange then then either the cell site is down or something like that. Go into the router via the IP address and see if it shows connected. Good luck.

RE: question on sleeping in the tt while moving
How many trailers have you seen wrecked? How many motorhomes wrecked? I'm sure folks sleep in those big class A's as it's going down the road. What's the difference? Sure, sleep in it. My only concern would be the wife driving....lol.

RE: Updating Garmin nuvi-
Thanks Jeff, that was a good link. I like the Nuvi 200 but I think the next time I will just buy a new one that I can import routes into. Garmin needs to think about the price of a map upgrade vs. buying a new one....

RE: Updating Garmin nuvi-
Beware if you have an older Nuvi 200 series. They don't have enough built in memory for the entire U.S. (2009.) You have to add a flash card and then manually add the additional states you want. Also, the file is huge and takes a long time to download depending upon your speed. It might be worth the extra bucks to get the CD.

RE: Verizon Aircard
One thing you might want to check out......AT&T Go phones have a different coverage map from the usual phones. I don't know why that would be, but check out the coverage maps for AT&T.

RE: NO PETS allowed?
This is the periodic Dog posting. Yes there are really dog haters out there....How about this one, I was taking a nice walk around a small lake the other day and stepped in DEER poop, darn. Walked a little farther and stepped in Racoon poop, double darn. There was poop all over the place, but no dogs. I guess they'd better ban all animals from these RV parks.
