RE: Running lights on cars
I think if I get to a point that I can't see a car in the daylight without it's light's on it is time for me to STOP driving.
Studies show that, even during the day, drivers detect a car with its headlights on further than a car without them on. "On a clear day with good visibility, an approaching car can be seen from about 2,500 feet away. With headlights on, it increases to 4,700 feet." So, maybe its time for you to stop driving.

RE: Tonneau Cover
You might want to reconsider soft covers with the tri-fold.
I've had the old snap/velcro/slot type and yes, they have some serious drawbacks.
We've had a newer tri-fold soft cover and it solves a lot of the issues:
- 2-3min to install or remove completely.
- You can fold up the back two sections if you don't need the entire bed uncovered (takes just a minute).
- So far stays dry.
Had it for about 1.5yrs so far and very happy.
The only thing we'll have to see is how it holds up long term but at $200, I could replace it 3 times over for the cost of hard cover.Sounds the same as mine and very happy with it.

RE: Air compressors
I bought a PorterCable 3 gallon unit from Home Depot. Pumps to 150 psi. Works great for me for tires and small jobs. My tires run 110 psi.

RE: We attempted to use the service today
I would think offering a refund for this years service would be in order. Basically paying for the service is like having insurance. You pay for it whether you use it or not. But you pay for just in case you need it. He needed it and the service was not provided. Give him his money back.
They more commonly offer an additional year OF NO service at no cost...Why would you want a free year of no service?

RE: Extended Warranty: Why do I need it?
I would be a little concerned about a dealer trying to slip it in on me. Bet he has a tire warranty in there somewhere as well.

RE: 400 mile electric RV
Am I the only one that noticed it would do UP TO 400 MILES on a charge? Kind of like saying your mh could get up to 40 MPG. Maybe off the side of a mountain!
Marketing hype for electric vehicles.

RE: Nc hauler and ricatic
If ricatic is whom I'm recalling, he caused enough issues to get the perverbial ban stick of deodorant! Then again, my memory is not what it was....
Had not hear about nc. I do recall posts etc he seemed like a good guy.
Marty
Wasn’t he the guy that the HPFP grenade on his 6.7 Powerstroke years ago ? Then went on a crusade against Ford , when they didn’t honor the warranty. I may have him mixed up with someone else .Yep, that was him.

RE: Sad state of national parks and forests - II
When Donald Trump was President, he donated his annual salary to the Nat'l Park Service. Not a lot of money to the NPS total budget, but nice gesture showing he was aware of their problems.
Indeed a nice gesture. And he added some more of his own from his personal wealth to round it off to $100,00 since it's just $78,000.
I'm not one to tell anyone what to do with their own money, but I would have preferred his administration did not cut $2 billion out of the national parks budget while giving big business $1 trillon in tax cuts that promised economic boom that did not happen.
And a bit of irony, it's when the NPS is asking for funds just to address these maintenance backlogs.
3 card monte......wish people would learn.
$750.00, that's seven hundred and fifty dollars, in federal taxes for a YEAR.
Yes and presidential salary is $400,000 not $78,000. Plus $50,000 for expenses.
And while it may not be nearly enough, look at what the other party has actually given from their own pockets, from Obama, to SlowJoe to Harris, NONE give as much as Trump did. You may not like him, but from a personal standpoint, he has done/donated more than any others for the last 30 years.
Wow......
"The Bidens paid about $3.7 million and $1.5 in taxes for 2017 and 2018, respectively — about a third of their adjusted gross income. They gave roughly $1 million and $275,000 to charity in 2017 and 2018, respectively."
Compared w $750.00??????
SMHAs you stated Biden paid over $5 million in taxes can you explain how a HONEST politician ( LOL ) makes enough money to have to pay that in tax's.

RE: Convection oven - phooey, Switched to Toaster oven
I have found a convection oven outstanding for cooking certain things, most of which I rarely do in S & B, let alone my RV.
There is ONE thing however that I have never found anything that equals it.
Reheating leftover pizza.
Whether just refrigerated a day or two, or frozen for weeks, NOTHING will reheat it such that it tastes like it was just delivered. Nothing.Our air fryer will. Heats it back just like it was cooked the first time.
Bird,
I have never seen an air fryer that didn’t have a rotating agitator device. Can you share a make & model? It sounds interesting..Brand name is Aria, model ato 898. Its a 30 qt unit I got from Amazon and Home Depot also carrys it.
Sorry for delay, been camping and no internet.
