RE: Finally getting a camper!
Thanks for all the advice! My TV does have a factory installed hitch, not a bumper mounted ball. I have a 2" drop, and a 4" drop receiver ready to go. Thanks for the heads up on the shocks, and alignment. I will try it without the WDH on the way home after picking it up. It will be a 300 mile trip, so I should know pretty quickly how she does. My hitch says with a WDH the towing capacity is 10,500lbs. and 1,100lb tongue weight, so if I think I need a WDH, it will well exceed the campers specs. Can't wait to pick it up and get out to the campground. We have been tent camping since we were married 36 years ago. The last time we went camping a herd of Javelinas attacked our tent, and got into the ice chest (I inadvertently left it on the ground instead of putting it in the bed of the TV like I usually do), and my DW hasn't wanted to go camping since then!
We had the grandkids with us, and that made it worse for her. I had my pistol with me just in case, and she said, you can't shoot them! I said just watch me! If it comes between my family's safety, and a Javelina, he's gonna loose every time!!!
Another one from Midland. We just got back from Davis Mts SP and they have really cleaned out a lot of trees & brush around the campsites. As far as Javelinas we did not see any as others told us they did in site 10, we had 7(FHU). Only one deer came down the hill during our stay. The park redid the sewer hook ups too. Sharon

RE: RV BBQ
We have used our RVQ from the begining of 2003, cooking steaks, hot dogs, hamburgers & fish. It has not damaged the side of our camper or awning. It is made to take on and off as you are camping. Everyone will have a reason why not to use one. Try it before you toss it in the trash or store it away. Enjoy your many camping trips with your TT.

RE: What brings you back to a particular campground each time?
Davis Mts SP to the west 3 hours with trees, mountians & not as hot during the summer.
Hords Creek COE park to the east 3 hours with trees and small lake with still water in it, best in the fall, spring & winter.
Lake Brownwood SP to the east 4 hours, it has cabins that our children can come visit and have there own space. It is half way for them to travel. We use it for holidays.

RE: Wired or Wireless?
A radio is the best way, we have used them for many years and work great. The camera cannot see the roof top for branches even if you think they will clear the top.

RE: TT tools
You think you have everything covered in tools & replacement items.
Until that other thing breaks that you have no part for or way of fixing it.

RE: Oakwood RV Resort Fredericksburg,Tx
We stayed at the KOA, friendly owners, just make sure to get a large lot, ours was not much room between campers. It was fine for the 4 days we stayed. I did like they had a fenced dog area and no problem using the Wi-Fi either.

RE: Mississippi Roast
Why did I not try this sooner! This is my new best crockpot meal, so many things that can be done with it for meals.

RE: Groceries for needy family
Think of simple things to fix. Anything that takes time to cook will go to waste. Fresh foods will spoil before they get eaten. I have gone to buy groceries for many of my hospice patients and if a family member does not have the cooking skills it will be wasted. I found that box meals, cans of soup, instant rice work out the best and can vegetables/fruits. Check with local churches too! In our town we have Helping Hands that provide boxes of food. Maybe someone in the office can fix one extra meal for the family.

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.

Yes, get a pizza stone, it saved my oven from the melted cutting board.

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.
Sharon
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.

RE: How do you handle grey water (family of 5)

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.
