EZ Pass
I know this has been discussed. I've read previous responses. Here's my question. We will be pulling a 25ft TT thru PA/Ohio about 2-3 times a year. Do you folks think it is worth getting the EZ pass? One time, I almost had a heart attack because I forget we were towing and only brought enough toll money for a car. Luckily I was able to scrap it up. I'm all about speed and convenience at the toll booths. What account would you set it up with? I check my on-line banking statement every day, and was thinking that this would be the best. TIA for you help.

RE: So we picked up our TT tonight.
Sorry for your bad experience. Don't despair. Lot's of new owners have had thorough, lengthy walk-thru's and couldn't remember any of it! However, this guy was dead wrong, and I would complain to his boss.
Read and ask questions, here. Go to YouTube and look up videos. Camp Driveway is a good way to familiarize yourself with the equipment. If you do have a problem at a campground-ask! All of us were new, once. Campers are very helpful, plus the campground staff can help you. There will be other bumps in the road. Make sure to take a 'Plan B', duct tape, and a sense of humor. Have fun!

RE: mice
Wait until it gets dark. Turn on the interior lights. Plug any spots that light can be seen. Use either the foam or real steel wool. Do not store food inside, keep the stove/oven/microwave clean. No grease or food anywhere. If you already have seen mice, use traps or sticky traps. Please, no more poison. The mouse eats it, runs off and dies, some other animal,(non-target) eats it. The environment is poisoned enough.

RE: Old Cast Iron
My dad had a small iron pot. He used it to melt lead to make fishing sinkers.

RE: Purchasing new TT, question of length...
Make SURE your truck can handle the weight. Don't forget the weight of passengers, fuel, water, and gear. Also, consider where the TT will be stored-will a longer unit fit? You might consider taking a 'day trip' to nearby campgrounds. Check out the length of the TTs and their TVs. Good luck with whatever you choose!

RE: leveling trailer
We currently have a 25ft TT w/slide. When we get backed in to our spot, I put the chocks under trailer wheels. Plug in, extend slide. Raise jack with wood blocks underneath, and get the weight off the hitch. Then, we use 2 pieces of 2X6 wood blocks under the scissor jacks-level it up. Pull TV out. We're pretty stabile with this system.

RE: Cast Iron Skellet Cleanup Question
My mother had a big cast iron skillet. She used it a lot. Mom couldn't remember how old it was, as she got it from her mom. When Mom passed, my older sister wanted that skillet. She put it in her suitcase and flew from Pennsylvania back to Arizona with it. Must have weighed 15lbs! That was before 9/11. Sis still uses it. It's better than ever.

RE: Oven Fried Chicken; how to?
Classic oven fried chicken:
* Preheat oven to 425.
* While preheating, take a heavy pan (a 9x13 Pyrex is great).
* Add a stick of butter and a bit of oil to mix to the pan.
* Let the pan preheat with the oven.
* Coat pieces of chicken in seasoned flour (ie salted to taste).
(paprika, some poultry seasoning, etc. add a lot here!)
* When the oven is heated, place the chicken pieces in the pan carefully, skin side down.
* Bake 20 minutes.
* Turn over the chicken.
* Bake another 20 min.
* Let rest for about 10 min.
* Eat.
Applied to a dutch oven, I would make the lid be slightly open to prevent steaming it. Most of the remaining steps should be the same. This is a hot oven process, not 350 degrees.
This really sounds delicious. Just be careful with the Pyrex pan. Supposedly they have changed the way they make it, and it can't take high heat anymore. It can explode in the oven.

RE: Does anyone have any good bologna (baloney) recipes?
Emeril's baked sugar crusted bologna
I saw him make this on his old show. People were ready to pass out. I would try it, but I'm afraid I will like it!

Fried bologna or pepperoni in a cast iron skillet! Use leftovers to catch catfish and creyfish!

RE: Metal Detector owners
OP here. Way more to this hobby than I thought. I understand that detecting may be a problem in historic areas, and inconsiderate people may leave holes. I posted because a gentleman lost his wedding ring in the same campground that we were at. He knew what areas that he had been in and figured his ring was just in the grass, (it was kind of tall). It was probably not even necessary to dig a hole to find this ring. Under these kinds of circumstances, a metal detector would have been very welcome.

RE: Roo 23SS Maiden Voyage
Great pictures!! I love the bully! We have a million pictures of our TT with the towels on the awning struts-priceless. Looks like a lot of fun, (except for the water headaches). Thanks for posting!

RE: PK Portable Kitchen
I have enjoyed reading all the comments about the PK grill. I think I will really like it. I am happy to spend a reasonable amount of money for a portable smoker AND grill, that should excel at the job, last forever and is made in America. Plus, it's probably as close to owning an Airstream, as I will get!

RE: Liquid fabric softener and black/gray tank smell
Before we leave for the CG, I add 1/2 cup Calgon water softener,(powder), a good squirt of dish detergent, in about 4 gallons of water-divide into the black and grey tanks. At the dump station, dump black first, then grey. Close valves-add another bucket of soapy water to black tank, open valves. A couple more buckets of water into black tank. Close valves. Add another bucket of water, Calgon, bleach tabs, dish soap for the ride home. When we get home, rinse grey and black tanks until clear.I have a hose tip that I can put down into the toilet. Close valves, keep some soapy water in the tank-don't let the tanks dry. I also clean the sewer hose in bleach/soapy water. This can only be done if you have access to a good sewer.

RE: PK Portable Kitchen
If you shop around, you can do a lot better on price. I ordered it for $269 with free S&H. I know it probably still sounds too high for some, but PK owner's will put their grill/smoker against any Weber or Egg.

PK Portable Kitchen
Have been looking for a quality, charcoal grill at a reasonable price. This is a cast aluminum grill/smoker. They were made back in the fifties and then the company closed up. Somebody decided that they were too good to disappear, and he started making them from Arkansas. I bought one, we'll see how it does! They have a facebook page and some YouTube videos.

Metal Detector owners
Went to the CG this week. While we were in the office, an older gentleman came in to check the lost and found. He had lost his wedding ring, pretty upset. The camp host took his name/address. She said that someone would come once in a while and use a metal detector to look for lost items. Someone else had lost a wedding ring in May. The host said that the metal detector guy had not been by this year, yet. If I had one, I would take it camping with us. Sounds like a good service, if anyone on the forum has one.

Tool opinions
Would like recommendations on Pressure Washers and Paint sprayers. Interested in electric PW for washing vehicles, decks, lawn mower/tillers, grills, etc.
Also, I have a lot of wicker furniture that will need washed/primed/painted. I think a paint sprayer will be more eco/wallet friendlier than buying several cases of spray paint cans. Have some other paint chores, so owning beats renting, here. Would like recommendation on a paint sprayer, too. TIA!

RE: Tip for the day...always carry some fresh water...
I am very cautious about water. I sterilize my holding tank/hose a couple time/season. I bring a full tank AND bottled water. I bring water from home for the dogs. I do not trust the water at campgrounds. Bacteria,(Legionella's), minerals, chemical runoff, etc. No thanks! For the weight of another passenger, why take a chance?
