RE: Route 64 from Clayton to Raton New Mexico

We were through there just a couple months ago. Good road, just tends to have a perpetual cross wind that can get bad at times.
Watch your speed in the speed zones!!!

RE: Sewer hose storage

Are y'all finding the fence post in stock at a big box store (Home Depot, Lowes, etc)? I've looked around the Austin area and can't seem to find any place that carries them in stock.
Thanks,
Mark

RE: Texas State parks

Can you find a private RV park (6 feet from your neighbor!!) for under $30 per night?

RE: Finally found the one!

Better to have and not need than to need and not have. Good words of wisdom spoken to me and its pretty good advice.
Once you hear the crunch, you will always use the slider.
Amen!!
In the two years I had my short bed, I probably used the slider three times. But after seeing the videos on youtube with the 5er blowing out the back window (like a cannon going off!!), I was always glad it was there.

RE: Colorado Springs area CG's

If you want lots of room between you and your neighbor, go to Mueller or Cheyenne Mountain. If you must have full hookups, then make it Cheyenne.
We stayed there in June and it was great!!

RE: Power awning tie down

Just because you have a power awning doesn't mean it is an automatic.
Makes sense to me to tie down as shown. If winds come up that hard then remove tie downs and push the retract button.
Make sense to me.
Great idea.

RE: Trailer battery explodes

Wow, scarey. So, was there damage to your coach?
Mine is in a box with the lid secured with screws and vent to outside. As someone said, I would think that would minimize damage and injury.

RE: What to do in Fort Stockton,TX

The bigger border towns are where you'll find most of the problems...Laredo, El Paso, Del Rio, etc. I'm not the least bit worried at Big Bend.

RE: Improvised Outside Shower

I just get a splitter, attach it to the camp faucet, hook up my water supply hose to one side, then a 12 ft hose and sprayer to the other. Now we have an outdoor shower and a way to rinse off toys and such.

RE: Buy local?

That's a tough one....
I like saving money as much as anyone
BUT
1) I like to use local merchants as much as possible
2) I think your local guy may not be so accomodating if you need service but didn't buy from him
3) Your local guy probably has more overhead, but I would use the other guy's price to at least meet in the middle on the price of the local unit.
My .5 cents

RE: find christian sites (like the Creation Museum, in KY)

As mentioned, definitely have to go to Eureka Springs and the Passion Play.
We recently spent a week at Colorado Springs and went to Focus On The Family (Dr James Dobson) and it was very nice!!

RE: Need Mod to store Portable Dump Tank when traveling

I'm still not sure how I would lift the structure into place to latch it. The tote itself is not overly heavy... if you get under it and "bench press" it. It'll probably be a little awkward to lift otherwise. I've thought about using a rope and pulley to lift the tote then latch it to something solid... but don't know yet.
John.
What about using a spare tire winch? Like the one you may have under your camper or your pickup.
