RE: Fueling of DP
I stop at the first click. I carry 90 gallons, probably not as much as most, but far more than I really need to carry because I refill when I'm anywhere around 1/2 tank and run across cheaper fuel. Seldom do I stretch it to 1/4 tank.

RE: Question
Since they are measured diagonally, you wouldn't miss too much at all. But why not just stop in at a Walmart, COSTCO etc and look at them side by side and make up you own mine. Easy way to get a true comparison.

RE: Can you do this with a thunb drive?
Just copy the original DVD to a new DVD and carry that as your backup, takes up about the same amount of room and you know it will work. And costs a heck of a lot less than a flashdrive.

RE: Credit card has 79.9 precent interest rate.
Live withing your means and debt free and none of this matters. Only a fool would pay 79% interest.
DAN
Not quite an accurate statement. Yes, I think your correct in your statement but there are a lot of people who aren't fools who get sucked into the credit card trap out of necessity. Losing their jobs, illness, just bad economic times. Its made a mess out of a lot of peoples lives. I feel for those, but not for those who just abused the system to live beyond their means.

RE: GPS Pop Up Ads
OK, a little google and a little Garmin but I found the answer to the popup advertisements:
To view a list of the advertisements you have received, touch Tools> Advertisements.
To disable advertisements, you must disable traffic. Select Tools>Settings>Traffic, and clear the Enable Traffic check box.
For other Help aids: Go to the Help icon on the GPS unit itself.

RE: prefered size of Motor home.........
We settled with a 36' DP w/2 slides. We fulltime and it seems to be just about the right size to allow us to camp in any campground that we have chosen. Living area is plenty big with a dinette side slide for the two of us. I guess the only place that lacks ample room is the bedroom. Kinda small, but you don't notice it too much when your eyes are closed :)

RE: 50Amp Autoformer
Looks like no one wants to offer their calculated guess so I'll jump in:
If it were me, I'd try it. I'm sure it would at the least, work as a pass through and have no effect or actually give you the needed boost when needed. I'll suggest that you give the maker of the autoformer a call and get their input. Most RV accessory distributors/makers are very helpful.

RE: Furnace Blower Only for Underbelly Heat?
You didn't ask for an alternative or opinion, but for the few pennies it takes to heat an RV on propane, I'd spend the money just for the piece of mind that it gives me to know that the plumbing is secure.

RE: Wireless weather proff License plate camera
The feedback I've monitored through mostly this list and some of the others, the wireless camera's are suited for the rear license plate area area of an automobile. Anything much farther in distance just doesn't work with any reliability.
Course, the next thread will say theirs work in distances of over 50' :)

RE: Cheapest way to power a full desktop PC on the road?
Not knowing your camping style or preferences, let me say what we do in our situation. We fulltime and have a desktop set up at a computer type little table. Its our primary computer. Normally we are in parks with electricity so there isn't a problem at all. For those occasions where we are boondocking, we use our laptop. Both the wife and I use the computer but we have no problem sharing, we aren't a slave to it.

RE: Anyone know of a Phoenix Airport park lot than handles RV's
I think I know where your coming from on your request. You'd like to park your RV long term while you fly somewhere for the holidays?????
I'd be interested in that also. However, I'd just like to park our MH there while we drive to NM for the holidays, about 6 days or so.
We usually use the Elks Lodge here for that, but this year they have no room from dry storage so we're having to rent a space for a couple weeks in the fullhookup area.

RE: Camping World - President's Club
Did I miss something? I don't recall having to "join" and pay to become a "member"? Has this always been the case? Just got my "renewal".
Let's see - at $20/year and a 5% discount, I would have to buy $400/year to make it worthwhile. Obviously only $200/year at 10%.
Let me understand something here......you actually thought that something would be free at Camping World? :h :B :B :B :B

RE: Sears, we hardly knew ye...
Heres the flip side of the Sears trauma:
I went to Walmart, noticed that the wireless earphones hook was empty. Something I wanted to by.
I found a clerk, asked if they would be getting more in soon. She took a scanner and scanned the price tag on the empty hook and said, there are four in the warehouse right now, and 8 more on the way to the store and due there in two days. She said wait just a minute. She left and about 4 or 5 minutes later came walking up with the four earphones, handed me one and put the other three on the hook. Computers....unbelievable.
BTW: I saw a show on TV and Walmars computer system is second only to the Pentagons.

RE: My 1989 Chieftain Paint Job
Boy did you ever update that MH. Looks really great. Personally, I'd like to do the same thing...but minus a lot of the striping. I'd like to see it in person.

RE: Sat System I may buy
Consider an aircard, ease of use, affordable monthly charge and fast. But of course it won't work in Mexico so consider that also.

RE: GARMIN 465T GPS
If not you can load those POI's into any Garmin with a USB port (which the 465T has). In addition, you can load low clearances, truck stops, walmarts, speed traps, speed cameras, redlight cameras and the alerts. Campgrounds and ......well take a look here

RE: What keeps you inside all day?
Your assuming that everyone who is in an RV is camping. We haven't camped in over 5 years, yet we have not slept in any other place than our RV in that time. We live in our RV and defend our right to dare to watch TV or log on to the internet when the mood strikes. BTW: I never miss Judge Judy, shes the only judge I worry about. :)
