RE: cell phone plans and coverage while in the U.S.
Go to a U.S. Walmart a buy a NET-10 PHONE cost $30 and you get 300 mins. it can be reloaded for as many mins as you wish,you can call any were in US for .10c per min
Your also given THREE canadian #,S that family back home can call you on, as a local call to them,
It may be higher than some, but it beats the price Telus charges
LAST YEAR WITH ROAMING AND LONG DISTANT CHARGES it was about $2.00 per min + to use our cell phone

RE: gas filter location on 2005 class A Ford 53 chassis
FIRST
1 remove fuel pump fuse
2 start engine and run till out of gas 2-3 mins
3 put down your front jacks and raise up a little, lets any gas in line run back to tank
4 remove front line first and put the end up over any cable etc. that might be there, no gas will run out then
5 remove rear line and have cloth in hand to catch any gas left in filter
6 remove filter from holder
7 replace with new filter and hook up the lines,you should hear a click when they locks in place
Mike
dont forget to replace fuse
RE: gas filter location on 2005 class A Ford 53 chassis

RE: Cost of toading
When you first set up to tow,the first few trips might not be cost effective,IE the purchase of bars,$600-700, brake systems $800-900 etc,but if you plan on regular trips or for any long trips, it become,s the best way to go IMO
we go from BC down to AZ ea year {snowbirds} and to have my Explorer in tow, adds about 50gal on the return trip of about of 3000 miles or about 1 mile per gal. that works out to a little over $200,at todays gas prices, a lot less than having to rent a car for just one week
but as said many time here, MPG is also effected by you driving style and the terrain
hope this is of some help
Mike
whats going on
Just got my winter park confirmation in the mail.have been going there for five years YUMA AZ.and it is not for the any of the spaces I requested,
I made a quick phone call to see why, and was told that the park is almost booked full of 6 months and 1 year spaces

RE: Used Silicone on my slide, now it won't work!!!!
It is possible that your slide is out of line,with the coach, try, when leveling, have someone open and close the slide slowly as you move your leveler up/down just a tiny bit of the other side of your coach, had it happen to me when the son-in law played at leveling up/down--up/down about 6 times before I had him stop Mike
RE: New Dometic Recall Initiated March 11, 2008
