RE: Best Cell Phone App
I am sure I'll catch a bunch of flak over this, but based on 15 years of pulling a fiver and having used everything from a Garmin hand-held to a Rand-McNaly RVND (backed up with cell phones and/or laptops):
99.75 percent of the time a stand-alone navigation specific device with lifetime updates is more accurate and faster than any app or software.
If it can see the sky it works!

PS - Always carry a fairly recent print comp of the Trucker's Road Atlas.
I agree

RE: Black tank leaked. What to do?
evidently not too much "stink" soaked into the marine grade plywood so I would think that a bunch of coats of KILZ might work. worked for my dining room floor where my cats (5) each claimed their territory.

RE: Battery price question...
Seems to me I could just buy 2 12V and have similar Ah. So I guess I am just not seeing the cost savings. What am I missing? Thanks

RE: Power chords stuck together
As rule i do turn the breaker off but i cant say for sure that once or twice i may not have. I will buy the plug then pry the existing plugs apart and see what i find before cutting the head off.
good plan. I was going to suggest that the first beheading be on the cheaper cord and see if that can solve part of the problem.

RE: Question about window tinting
a friend at work brought his van in from New Jersey and he had the reflective mirror coating on windows behind b pillar. the MD DOT rejected it so he got some white paint and painted over the windows and then it passed the test.

RE: Ship truck and camper to Hawaii
I saw the inside the trunk of a fellow workers car that they had moved from puerto rico to the states , a terrible rusty mess. don't think I would take a $60-70 k truck and camper into that type of salty situation.

If a vehicle becomes a terrible rusty mess by spending a few days on a ship going the 2500 or so miles from LA to Hawaii, they must turn to dust being driven for a week on salted roads in the Northeast.
Yeah some people have some tall tales.
Guy prolly tried to file a claim as well... lol
D'OH, it isn't being transported causing the rust problem, it is siting in Hawaii for a period of time. Perhaps Puerto Rico air is saltier than Hawaii? A person in my car pool bought the car so no prolly claim on it. I stopped taking my good fishing tackle to the ocean/bay as one days exposure was hard on it.

RE: Surge Guard - Need Vs. Cost
Just make sure whatever you buy it has an auto reset feature.
I also want one with a "bypass" feature also since there are some things that can be run on low voltage.

RE: backing up 4 down jeep jk
I have backed up my toads, non-Jeep. Suzukis and Chev Tracker.
Big issue is not to allow it to get in a bind to the point of nearly jack knife.
yep, that is the issue, watch it closely.
