RE: The dreaded "How much should I pay?" can of worms reopened.

Sure, why not.
And I kinda doubt it's a real auction, no minimums, no hidden buyers that kind of stuff.
At this point, they will most likely wait to see what someone else will bid.
Had a dealer around here run an auction on his used stuff at a location 50 miles away. Sold everything. About have of it was back on his lot a week later.
If you don't buy it. And don't get your price at the auction. AND nobody else buys it---then you have something to talk to them about after the auction.
They still aren't going to sell it for less than they have in it. They are kinda funny about that stuff.

RE: What wireless laptop "card" do I have?

Ok, I found on the Toshiba site I have a b/g.
Will it run on the 5 GHz N router band? Just the 2.4?

RE: Install Onan 5500

No "mounts". Just some bolts from the underside.

RE: Install Onan 5500

I had an Onan 5500 in the front generator compartment.
Ran it off a couple of boat tanks.
A "permanent" type tank probably would have been better. But, had issues with the tank fill.

RE: Dual Motor Landing Gear

I was chewing up bevel gears because the area that held the screw centers was worn. So the bevel gears weren't held tight together.
Required replacement of the whole leg.
Looks like you can get them for $650--

RE: 35 Amp

You can probably run everything except a bunch of electric heaters.
You water heater will be the biggest built-in user.

Printer drivers

I got a new computer, no new printer. Running the my old Epson driver and utility CD said I needed a 64 bit version.
Went to Epson and downloaded a version for Vista 64 bit. When asked to run or save, I selected "save"---don't know if that's right.
So downloaded the file and kinda unzipped it. Wound up with a Epson Scanner something in my programs. It wouldn't open. Nor would the computerconnect to the printer.
I uninstalled that program.
I do have a 24MB file on my C drive called Epson driver and Epson scan utility.
Any ideas?

RE: Installing rails for 5th wheel hitch

I had the "Pros" install my first one. They put only one bolt in each bracket.
So, I have done the last three myself.
Someone mentioned "let the warranty be on them". I promise you, if they screw up your frame, they wouldn't be buying you a new one. At least not until you spend about the cost of a frame on an attorney.

You could "hide" in your RV. But you can't come and go to the car deck at your will.

RE: Denali N.P. ...is it worth it?

Are you pressed for time?
If time isn't the issue and neither is money. Then go from Tok to Fairbanks, and then to Denali. Then to the Kenai--Seward and Homer---and Kodiak. That way you are saving the best for last.
You must have a time issue? Or you wouldn't be asking.
And don't forget Valdez.
And Haines?
And Skagway?
You are are going to drive 3800 miles, go see yor friends. Then turn aroun and drive 3800 miles home?

RE: Putting my 5th wheel on jack stands for the winter

I would think the "dynamic" forces of going down the road hitting pot holes and such would be a lot greater the the static forces of just sitting there. I wouldn't worry about it.

RE: Disappointing WDW Campsite

I must disagree with Gunship Guy. The WDW campsites are NOT worth $100 per night. No slab of asphalt is worth $100 per night. WDW has priced themselves out of my market.
I don't know if you have tried to book a site there lately.
Don't see many of the premium sites being available.
Usually the lower end sites are more available.
Must be "worth it" to a lot more folks.
