RE: Picture From Last Saturday Night....
Yes, outdoor speakers but not loud enough to leave the site.
I highly doubt that unless you mean earbuds/headphones. Yes, to each their own, so please let me have my peace and quiet!
If you want to go there, then yes. I was getting the TV signal from my laptop and the laptop was providing the video for the projector. The audio from the laptop went in to an FM transmitter and we had a small boombox right by our seats.
So yes, not loud enough to leave the site, especially when you turn the bass down.

RE: Stuck with Rude Neighbors Argh...
Revenge is sometimes a dish best served, NEVER. In a few days you won't even be thinking about tonight. Just let it be.

RE: Picture From Last Saturday Night....
Hey, to each their own.
I mean no offense to the above poster, but I find it comical when RVr's think that TV's and DVD's and such are not real camping. There are many tent people who think having an RV isn't real camping either. lol To each their own.
Yes, outdoor speakers but not loud enough to leave the site.

RE: Picture From Last Saturday Night....
Is that your trailer Logo in the projection?
Yes. We originally had the screen on just the white surface of the TT but the picture was too small. We pulled the projector back a bit to get the larger screen but the decals and text had to go in the picture too.

RE: Blocks Under Jacks?
What do you use to chock your tires? I bought a pair of Rotochoks, which reduced a lot of the bounce we had been experiencing at the time.
My Dad has the x chocks as well as the plastic orange chocks. My brother just has the orange ones but was thinking about the x chocks too.
All of our camping is done on soft ground.

Picture From Last Saturday Night....
Here's a picture from our site last weekend.

Does anyone else do something like this?

Blocks Under Jacks?
Does having more blocking under your jacks equate to less bounce in your TT? We only have a single set of orange blocks that get dispersed among the stab jacks. Would we get less bounce in the TT if we bought a second set of blocks? What if we used a 6x6 in addition to the orange blocks?
What about the tongue jack? I assume the more it's extended the more bounce you'll have too.

RE: Reserve America magazine scam
Reserve America is used for the two State Parks here on Long Island. I know the magazine thing you're talking about. It's simply a popup message that comes up during the reservation process. You have to click out of it yourself.
It's not a scam, you just just over zealous and didn't read.

Bal Extended Chocks
My Dad uses the standard Bal X Chocks on his camper and they work great. My brother's camper has the wide stance axles so he'd need the more expensive, extended chocks. Does anyone have experience with the extended ones for wide stance axles? Are they just as good as the standard ones for closer spaced axles?

RE: Problem With Water Heater On Gas
OK, so I took the gas line (tube for 3 & 4 lol) out again. I stuck some cable into the part that goes extends into the larger intake tube on the water heater and stopped when it came close to the tiny hole in the brass fitting that the gas comes out. I wiggled the cable around a bit and ran it back and forth 2 more times before blowing in it through the holes where you can see where the gas comes from brass thing. Hope you love my terminology. lol I was disappointed to NOT see any webs or debris on the cable after I removed it from the tube.
I screwed everything back, turned on the gas and hit the LP switch again. Here is where I stand now.
Video
I guess it safe to say I'm back in business. Thanks everyone!

RE: Problem With Water Heater On Gas
Just curious, is the water already hot from running the electric? I would assume it is not, but have to ask. If it is, then the gas would not start.
No, not running from electric. The problem began at initial setup at the campground. The water heaters been off for over 24 hours since I tried it this afternoon too.

I always laugh how a lot of the rich and famous live in Boca Raton, Florida. Boca Raton literally translates to "Rat's Mouth" in Spanish. :-)

RE: Problem With Water Heater On Gas
Curious:
Do the stovetop burners work normally?
Looks like the propane gas jet in the water heater may be plugged by the looks of the flame.
The video is a nice touch by the way.
:C
Yep, stove worked fine. Furnace worked fine.

RE: Problem With Water Heater On Gas
OK, I'm home now and finally looked at it today. I'll give you a picture of my water heater with a description of what I did, followed by the video aftermath. I don't know the technical names of everything so please just play along with me. ;)
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e191/yourbasicdj/waterheater_zpsb7293743.png height=500
1) The first thing I did was remove the big panel labeled #1.
2) I then took off the half circle piece of sheet metal #2 that is behind the bigger panel.
3) I then took out the screw on top there.
4) I took off the top screw holding the piece to the side
5) I then took off the bottom screw holding the piece to the side.
Once this was done I had fully exposed, round openings at the top and bottom of the large tube. I put a flashlight in the tube and didn't notice any obstructions or debris, other then maybe a few granules of sand or sheet metal shavings or something. I then put a piece of coated wire into the bottom tube until it came out the top hole. Once it came out the top, I tied a rag onto the wire and then pulled the rag into the top hole and then out the bottom hole. The rag came out clean with the exception of some black marks and the sand/sheet metal shavings I originally saw, nothing spectacular. To be on the safe side, I ran the wire and rag through the tube again and got the same result. I then put everything back together, turned the gas on and then flipped the LP water switch. Here is the result.
Video
It's the same result I had over the weekend. You don't hear that loud "roar" that you should be hearing with the front door down. The flame is kind of lazy. It behaves kind of like those tiki torches you might have in your backyard. You can see some remnants of the flame when you look down the top tube. Hopefully you can see the white smoke coming out from the top tube. It's not a lot but it is noticeable. There is also a slight burning smell.
Any more ideas?

Problem With Water Heater On Gas
We can run our water heater on gas or electric. We took the TT out about 4 weeks ago for he first trip of the year and all was well. No problems at all.
Today is the first day of the second trip of the year and we ran into a problem with the water heater when running on gas. It lights up but you don't hear the loud roar you would normally hear when you swing the door down. There's a burning kind of smell with some smoke and a little flames coming out of the what I assume is the exhaust.
The electric is not a problem so that's what we are running on. The furnace works fine and the oven works fine.
Any ideas? Maybe a spider web or something?

Funny Town Names?
Every time I hear "Fly Over States" by Jason Aldean, one specific line always stands out to me. "Miles and miles of back roads and highways, connecting little towns with funny names."
What are some funny town names you have heard or come across in your travels?

RE: Use of Orange/Yellow cones is a must!
NASCAR makes you serve a "pass through penalty" if you take out the cone at the entrance to pit road. I reccomend the same for your Class A driver. :R
Wasn't it the 27 or the 18 that took the cone halfway down pit road a few weeks ago?

RE: Neat OZ Stop Sign
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoTMC-uxJoo- a pretty neat stop sign for truckers who ignore low overhead signs. The water screen projection makes it *real* hard to ignore :).
Why do they sound like Marcos Ambrose? And why does the one guy look like Tio Hector from Breaking Bad?
