RE: 1995 Gulf stream
I used to work at an RV shop and Gulf Stream was one of the units we sold and serviced, they were the worst units on the lot seems like every one we sold had problems.. We even had one come in with the windows upside down (drain holes on top). Some had to go back to the factory because they had so many problems.

RE: goofy , but true ?
For a small fee she can apply to DMV for a second license plate.
However.. Is there a license on the tow dolly?
I do not know the law in Flordia but in SOME states , if the car is on a dolly, it's not a car, it is cargo and cargo does not need a license plate, the dolly (Trailer) does
Note she could also full trailer it instead of teh dolly if she has the tow capability or go to RemcoTowing and find out what she needs to tow 4-down.
Fla. law states that the tow dolly does not need a tag on it, the vehicle being towed has the tag which must be displayed on the rear of the vehicle , if the car is towed backwards the tag needs to be facing the rear so it can be read by an officer (in this case it should be on the front of the vehicle to be visible.

RE: Jack Stand Pad Positioner
I took an old broom stick, took a PVC T and cut 1/2 of the top of the T part cut off, put the open end of the T over the handle then put a screen door hook through the t and into the handle I put the other end with the eye on the pad, the t guides it and the hook takes it there.. Works good for me ad cost was free as I had all the parts on hand

RE: Ads not false but some wording is so small
Let me see if I understand. You misread the ad but the store manager agreed to honor it any way and now you'll not shop at CW;. WOW! Seems that they couldn't possibly win with you. How could they have done any better?
FYI I did not misread the ad...I also called the store the night before and was told it was ok...They could have done better by not misleading, by their sales people knowing what they are doing, and listing exactly what they mean by "select stores only" because the average person does not know what a select store is...You can just keep on shopping there but I won't..

Ads not false but some wording is so small
We went to the Dothan Al. store as LP was advertised at 1/2 price. I called last night and was told to bring it on after explaining to whoever I talked to, that the ad was on page 18 upper right corner of the. He said it looked good to him..
Today we went and got the LP tank filled, at the register we found out that that was only in select stores (very small print)and we would need to pay full price. The manager finally agreed to the 1/2 price sale to us only. We were told that the service dept. filled the tanks and the accessories dept took the money so that is why it was in select stores only ??? When we filled the tank I told the man who filled it that it was a real good deal and he agreed.
Most people would think that if they had LP (or whatever) that it would be a select store since they carry the merchandise as I am sure some do not have the LP (or whatever) and would naturally assume that they were not a select store.)
I guess we will probably start getting my accessories etc. at one of the other RV stores in the area and there are several instead of spending our money at Camping World.

RE: Old Coleman Picnic Propane Camp Stove
The fittings between the older taller bottle and today's squatty bottles are the same. If you want the taller bottles you'll find them usually in the plumbing section of a hardware store because they're easier to hold when soldering copper fittings. There's no need to get one, but if you do, don't get a Mapp gas bottle or something else besides propane - make sure it's propane.
Bill
Exactly!
Not like this, you are looking for one that has a threaded top...

RE: Old Coleman Picnic Propane Camp Stove
Walmart has the bottles, get the generic brand it is cheaper. Sam's club carries the bottle in packs of three a lot of hardware stores carry them too. I have a fitting that lets me re-fill my own from a larger bottle, there is also adapters to use with the larger bottles.
I use mine when canoes camping, they are good stoves.

RE: Tow dollie use for dinghy
We just bought one today to tow our Ford Escape behind the MH.
We figgured this was cheaper than buying a new dingy to tow.
We called the state of Fl. and we do not need a tag, title or anything other than the dolly, of course we need safety chains and the usual equipment., the vehicle we are towing has the license plate. I am going to get magnetic lights from Harbor Freight and use on the back tho as the Dolly has lights, but better safe than sorry.

RE: Do RV's get Roaches
Just about anywhere down south you have bugs, especially in Florida they thrive in the heat. The German Roaches are bad little buggers to get rid of but a couple of spray bombs in the RV can usually take care of most bugs. Palmetto bugs look like big roaches and are really prevalent in the wooded areas as they breed in the leaves and such. I don't worry about roaches as much as I do the files and ticks, I have gotten Lymes Disease twice this year while training my Feist squirrel dogs, but if that is caught early it can be knocked out too.

RE: Awning rope lights?
I bought a couple of re-chargeable lights from Harbor freight, I got two empty paint cans, and filled them with concrete, stuck the light posts in the can, I use these under my awning, and set them out in the morn to re-charge, we like them much better than messing with the rope lights..

RE: A Salt And Battery!
Interesting, I have always thought that they could improve on a lot of things, however the longer an item lasts the less the companies can sell so many are reluctant to put their items on the market.
