RE: COE campgrounds in central Texas
Lake Texoma should be a great spot for you. I think I heard the Lake is not being affected too bad for the on-going drought there... The Lakes around Wichita Falls are all but dried up... People are Walking way out into the lake bed now...
I just heard the North Texas and West Texas has just started FRACKING for oil now. They probably already killed their underground water sources now.
Don't see any connection. We have alot of fracking going on in northern Pa and all our lakes are full.Texas lakes are down because of a drought.
Thank you for knowing fracking is not the cause of our low lake levels.

RE: ~Post your campsite photos here~
gramp1,
We were at Mustang only to leave on 11/4 in site 48. I noticed some of the same RV's still there. We moved up to Goose Island after that.

RE: lighting the oven
It will take a while for the heat to warm the pilot. I have found if the oven has not been turned on before light one of burners to pull gas that way. The hard part is knowing the spot for the pilot. On my oven I do not have to push in the knob, just turn it to pilot. As you wait blood will rush to your head. Some will leave the pilot on but, I do not, to me it is a waste of fuel and might not use the oven for several days later.

PS: Make sure nothing is in the oven, I melted a cutting board.

RE: Are you camping this Thanksgiving? if so where to
Always put blame on the turkey. Stuffing your belly makes you sleepy, along with the sound of women cleaning the kitchen (we do not get to nap), children have been sent outside to play, as the men fall asleep during the football game. Bang those pots and pan.

RE: Texas West
It is hard finding a campsite in our area. Monahans is a fairly nice state park. You best call any of them before getting here.

RV parks between Bandera & Jourdaton, TX
We are heading out early tomorrow morning (10/31) for Mustang Island SP. Will be stopping on the way down depending what time we get out of town here for 1 night. Has anyone stayed at Tri-Cities in Jouradaton. I know lots of drilling going on in the area. Really any RV park between Bandera or Jouradaton would be helpful. I have looked on every website for parks and Google Maps. I know it is last minute in asking.

RE: Lesson learned, about winterizing using blow-out method
Modern cars do produce hardly any CO, to the extent that the hosepipe thru the car window from the exhaust in a closed garage is no longer a successful way of committing suicide.
You better go back and check the science on this one. Cars still produce CO and CO2 in their exhaust unless you are driving an electric.

RE: FantasticFan Power
Voltage Detector (AC)
Get one of these a Lowe's, HomeDepot, ACE, etc.
It will tell you if the line you are looking at is AC (120) or not.
Only beeps near AC lines. DC no reaction.

RE: Want a check list for hitching up
19. Truck and trailer tires aired up to correct pressures.

RE: Help a graduate student by taking an RV survey for class
We purchased our camper to see the country and avoid Motel Rooms!
Have no intention of turning our camper into a rolling motel room for someone or renting a publically use camper. Too often in the past I have asked for a non-smoking room on business trips only to find out that there is no such thing.

RE: Camping on Holidays??
Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years is our favorite time camping in TX. Lake Brownwood for Thanksgiving with our children to come. New Years either Davis Mts SP or South Llano. This year we will not be going camping for Thanksgiving & will really miss doing it. Davis Mts SP is closed for repairs, might try Big Bend after Christmas. Most of our counties have burn bans that keeps us in after the sun goes down. Other holidays we stay home.

RE: gray tank outlet drain leak
Plumers GOOP stays flexible and sticks to all plastics.
I use a plastic sheet to mix J-B weld and it just flakes off of when cured for easy cleaning.
Just looked up the sheet on JB Waterweld which could work too but since it is an epoxy base I would suspect it would be less flexible. I have only use the GOOP for this type of application. I use the standard J-B Weld for other repairs and like both products.

RE: gray tank outlet drain leak
I patched a water leak in ABS pipe that would have been a very difficult fix without ripping out a cabnet.
I cleaned the area with alcohol and use "Plumers GOOP" over the crack and joint in the pipe. It has been over two years now and hasn't leaked again. Just be sure it is Plumber's GOOP and not some knockoff.
Link to what to look for!

RE: Update: flap in the foam around the water heater?
Water heaters cycle but you could be causing it to have to cycle more often than it was designed to. They have thermal protection switches and pressure/temperature popoff valves. If the pressure popoff valve fails to function; they blow up. Furnaces are designed to cycle and to heat open spaces safely.
On thing you might try is most campers use mechanical thermostats for the furnace/air conditioner. The DW always fussed about the heater running too long and getting too hot in the camper then getting too cold before it came back on with the old mechanical thermostat. Mechanical thermostats take a wider variance in temperature to turn off and on. Replacing it with a digital type will maintain the temp in the camper more accurately. Now the camper stays within several degrees of the setting with the digital.

RE: What would you change about your rig?
Murphsmom,
I often wondered why that about the vents.
Ours has one in the kitchen area that gets broken over & over.
One thing I did not put down until reading others is tinted windows.
