RE: Buying a Used Tow Bar

Mke sure you can get a bolt kit from Roadmaster for it before you buy and that you get all the parts from the seller. We bought an older model and were unable to use it without getting custom bolts. Roadmaster no longer carried the necessary parts. They also use the same model number as the new one but the parts were not interchangeable. A lot of trouble and time involved.

RE: Irvine, CA

Canyon RV Park is a nice park and not as expensive as Newport Dunes. It is right next to the 91 frwy in Yorba Linda but feels like you are miles away. Depending on the time of day the drive can be anywhere from 15 minutes to a really long time depending on traffic. It has full hookups.

RE: Lost wheel hub cover !

Try this place Wheel Masters The phone number is (360) 213-0380. Their prices aren't bad, either. We had to order a cover from them and it arrived in a timely manner and was priced right.

RE: No Photos Allowed?

The Alamo does allow photography everywhere except the SANCTUARY! It is for reverence for those who died. Take all the pictures you want outside. Many times places don't allow pictures for this very reason. There is also the reason of damage to the artifacts, photos, etc. Others are correct when they say that people don't know how to turn off the flash. I love to take pictures but I also obey the rules and find it distracting when others don't. If you don't like the rules, don't stay.

RE: Would those of you who have had total knee surgery tell me?

I had my right knee done two years ago. Like everyone else, I wish I hadn't of waited so long. I was 52 at the time. We tried the orthoscopic first but it really didn't do that much. I was camping within 3 weeks of surgery. Do the therapy and be careful with the pain killers. I actually thought the pain from the surgery was less than the pain I had every day. Research the doctor and make sure they do a lot of this type of surgery.

RE: HORRIBLE! Fairway Ford RV Service Center

I'm really surprised. We used Fairway Ford for a number of years and never had a problem with them. We haven't used them in the last year as we have moved so I guess something must have changed.

RE: Best Nashville Eats?

I second Jack's as the best BBQ in town. I was underwhelmed with Cock 'o the Walk but it is OK.
I also recommend buying tickets to the Opry online before you get there. Take the General Jackson riverboat dinner cruise.

RE: residency change & home ownership

If your child pays rent you would have to file for th eincome but you could deduct the interest on the loan and therefore negate the rent.
CA is real picky so make sure you dot the i's and cross the t's.

RE: residency change & home ownership

Yes it is possible. We did this last year. There is no law that says you cannot own property in different states. You will have to file a CA tax return each year. We discussed this with a tax guy before starting out on our fulltime adventure and were assured everything was fine.

RE: Appliance questions

I have the Cuisinart Griddler instead of a George Forman. I think it is built better. I use it for grilling meat instead of a BBQ. Easy cleanup as the plates are removable. It opens flat so you can use it as a griddle.
As for the Kitchen Aid, I left it at the house with my daughter-in-law. Most of the time I don't miss it as I don't bake that much in the rig (we are trying to cut back on that stuff). I did miss it during the holidays for baking. If you plan on doing a lot of baking I would recommend finding a place for it, if not, put it in storage but don't sell it!

RE: Blackout Shades "The Cheap Way"?

I purchased some blackout material from a fabric store, sewed a rod pocket on the top and a straight hem. The sides were left alone as they were jsut about the right size. Inserted a tension rod in the pocket and inserted in the window frame. Very inexpensive and they are easy to remove. You can buy different thicknesses of the material. Ours is really dark.

RE: Convection Oven - Help

I continued to have problems with mine and decided to check the oven out. I used an oven thermometer and it turns out my oven is about 50 degrees low! I now adjust the temperature up and it works fine. I have used the "sensor" cooking for baked potatoes and it does those fabulously.

RE: Finding a rv site to fly rc airplanes

Any campground in the Hemet area would work as the Hemet Model Masters have a field that you could fly at. The group always welcomes new folks.

RE: Big Tree Trip......

Once you get your plans made you will want to make reservations for the trip to Alcatraz. It is almost impossible to buy tickets on the day you are there. Try this website - Alcatraz tickets. There are a number of other sites to buy tickets from. Just Google Alcatraz tickets.

RE: Am I alone with this phobia?

Who says you have to stay in private campgrounds? There are state, county, city and COE parks all the way across the country and it sounds like you are used to that type of camping. If you plan on not enjoying yourself you won't. If you plan on having the time of your life, you will. Get out and enjoy.
Me and my Marine,

RE: hello from a potential RV'er!

How long you can finance an RV for depends on a number of factors. These being the price, the age, the lender, etc. Some people finance the really expensive ones for up to 20 years! You should contact your bank or lending institution for more info.

RE: Chocolate dipping ideas?

Potato chips are also a really good salty food that tastes great with chocolate. Use the heavier ones like Ruffles. My son had a chocolate fountain at his wedding. They had all kinds of fruit - stawberries, pineapple, apples, orange slices and kiwi. There were also brownies, marshmallows, rice krispy treats, pound cake, and many other things. People were even trying the chocolate on veggies and other items that were on the buffet.

RE: No replies to e-mails...anyone else?

OK, do they know you are expecting a response? What are they suppose to say, Wish we were there? If there are no questions in the email to them they may not realize that you want a response.
I set up a blog and gave the address to my friends and family. I have had very few comments (somthing the blog allows) but from talking to people I have found that many more people than I thought have read the blog. It is also something they can do on their schedule. I also put a counter on the blog so I can tell how many views I have had. There are people I have never met reading my blog. There are a number of free places you can use to setup a blog. I am using Blogspot. I also use Photobucket for my pictures. Both of these websites are free and very easy to use. I also use it as a journal for myself so I don't really care if anyone else reads it.
