RE: Truck Scale Weighing Procedure
Scaled my truck/with TC pulling pontoon at a CAT scales in April. The call button was too high for me to reach while on the scales. Had to go inside to tell the attendant, then back to the truck and wait for her to say that she had it. Gary

Are we all on the darkside?
Afer reading several posts and doing an archive search I see so many folks referring to 'moving to the darkside'. This being, in reference to buying (i.e)a TC and moving to the "darkside", a class A and moving to the "darkside", a TT and moving to the "darkside", an HTT and moving to the "darkside", a Class B and moving to the "darkside". Is there no RV that I can purchase and not have to move to the darkside?? :h I enjoy living life in the light..

RE: Top ten best States to Retire
Always get a chuckle when someone comes up with a list of the best or worst states for something(not the OP, but the person who publishes the list). Compare the best states to retire(posted here) with a recent Gallup poll listing the most miserable states to live in: 1. West Virginia, 2. Kentucky, 3.Mississippi, 4. Tennessee. All in the original list on this post. Go figure :h

RE: Jacksonville, Fl. Traffic ?
When we go south or north on 95, unless it is close to rush hour I always go straight through on I95. Never been on the other road you mentioned. Maybe it's better??? Gary

RE: southern Kansas, Ok, & NM
Thanks again everyone for the great replies. Looked up most of them and had the trip nearly planned. BUT-have to put it on hold for now :( Grandson was going with us-mainly the reason we were going-he is unable to go(nothing bad, but disapointed grandparents). We're looking at maybe early fall. Anyway TC was all cleaned up and ready to go so DW & I just decided to take a few days around Hocking Hills SP. Haven't been there in years-only a couple hours from home. Not quite the Grand Canyon, but still a nice few days in the TC. Gary

RE: W.Virginia Trn.Pike $$$ ???
Just came through there from Florida the first of April, Lance TC on a dually pulling a single axle pontoon trailer-for us it was $2.50 each toll booth(three of them). 3 axles, grossing about 16500lbs. Surely there's a snowbird on here with a class A w/toad that headed north on I77 that can tell you exactly. Gary

RE: southern Kansas, Ok, & NM
Thanks for the great responses!!! Deserthawk, I'll be 2 days just looking up all those places! jrs1871, looks like I will try 160. Haven't decided on Guymon or Boise City yet, probably play it by ear when we get there. Trailertraveler, thanks for those local CG ideas, that's what we'll be looking for. Jtrent, we probably will head up to Boot Hill, especially if a grandson goes with us. If you think of anything else don't hesitate to post!! Gary

southern Kansas, Ok, & NM
Thinking the first of May we may take a month or so and head to NM, AZ, & Ca. Will go I-70 to I-44, but when we get to Joplin, Mo. was thinking of taking the 2 lane across southern Kansas(staying south of Witchita), cutting down through Guymon, Ok or Boise City, then into NM to I-25 to Albuquerque. Have been the I-40 way several times, wanted a change of scenery, and to go through tornado alley(will watch the weather). Anybody know anything about this area(diesel avaibility, sights, etc)? Have seen a couple towns have city parks to overnight in. I know it's really flat, don't have to remind me of that. Will be taking the Lance and towing the Prius on a tow dolly. After NM want to head to Grand Canyon, then on to Sequoia NP. Would like to stay mainly on 2 lane roads. No hurry. Then??? Will decide then. Any ideas?? Gary

RE: have questions about used truck and camper
As far as the generator not starting, if you look under the gen you will see a about a 1/2 inch rubber hose hanging down(some sort of a breather hose). This gets plugged up by insects, mud, etc. The line must be open for the gen to start. Could be an easy fix. Has happened 3 times with mine(I have an 1130 also). The last time I had to disconnect the hose at the motor because a spider(I think)had made some sort of a nest. When the clog was removed the gen immediately fired up. Then hopefully the brushes (or whatever makes the current) aren't glazed over. Gary

RE: Florida, here we come!
We've been waiting for you. If you're a snowbird in training make sure you stop at the GA/FL state line to get your snowbird learners permit. :B Everybody's right, it's a little cool today (last night had frost warnings out but, only got to 39 in Leesburg), but I'm sure that's a lot better than you have up there.

RE: Security concern; Something just dawned on me
Several years ago DW locked me out of the TT while she went shopping. My neighbor, a couple campsites up, used his 751 key and 6yr old daughter to go through my outside storage under a bunk bed to open the front door for me. Took all of about 5 minutes, and most of that time was trying to explain to her how to unlock the front door. Gary

RE: kodiak 4500 Allison with 6-speed?
I look at things like this every once in a while, but then decide that I can buy an awful lot of fuel for what I am going to spend to increase mpg a mile or 2. I was just figureing that if you are getting 14 mpg and this would increase mpg by 2, to 16, then, assuming a cost of about 2k+(possibly more if you have to pay labor to install) then your break even point would be around 70,000 miles at todays fuel prices. This is just some quick figureing. If someone thinks I'm wrong, just post the corrected figures and don't blast me too bad-I'll just graciously admit my mistake. Gary

RE: The Ultimate (Homebuilt) RV Furnace?
Remember many times driving to school in my 62 vw holding my hand against the winshield to melt the frost enough so the winshield wipers could wipe clear(or somewhat clear) a hole big enough to see something in front of me. Usually didn't work very well, and just rolled the window down and stuck my head out. Of course when you've just got your license, and this is your first car that was no big deal. Sure wouldn't like to do that now. Gary

RE: South Texas Rain To FLORIDA
NICE TRY!!! We don't need it. The dry weather sweetens the flavor of the fruit. So just keep it there. (I hope nobody notices, but I think there may be more hot air in Florida than in Texas:W:W)We can probably blow it right back to where it came from. :B

RE: Not RV related but you have to see this.
Catchy commercial for State Farm. That creature kind of reminds me of the saying "Hi, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you". The end of that clip has similiar results.
