RE: Camp Ground North of Atlanta on I-85 May 26
Lake Hartwell State Park SC. Exit 1 (last in SC) and turn west. About a mile or a bit less on the left. Would work fine for an overnite. Pretty place. Right on the Tugaloo river and lake hartwell.

RE: Fish line in day/night shades
As a final word, I might ask a question and/or opinion. Will monofilament offer enough friction to keep the shades from sliding down?

RE: Mt Rushmore & Yellowstone
We are planning a trip to Black Hills and Yellowstone . Planning to stay in Hardin (at the north gate) and spending 4 days, then on to Grand Teton. Is there a reason map quest routs me out and over rather than thru the park. I have a 35ft DP with a CRv Toad. If any locals have suggestions I would be happy to hear!
thanks
Wayne
Hardin?? Perhaps Gardiner? Hardin is the east a considerable distance
The north entrance road is narrow and has a few switchbacks coming from the Roosevelt Gate in Gardiner into Mammoth. The road either on the east or west side of the loop out of Mammoth is narrow and crooked. It is doable with a MN and towed, but not pleasant for you or those on the road meeting or following you.
It is a lot of fun to pull out and have lunch in the coach and take a nap however.

RE: New Driver Seat
Our road tractor seats from years ago had Bostrom. The air-ride could be adjusted to just float you. High dollar but back then with cab-over tractors you needed them

RE: Barbecue + beer: Is it ok in every RV camp ?
Terryallan nailed it nearly completely. In NC they serve hushpuppies with it. so wrong! Hushpuppies are served with sea food.
Some of those from 'up north' think grilling is barbecuing. it ain't. ;)

RE: True or False?
You live in Roswell. Take a day and drive across the state line to SC and the Anderson area. There is a guy there that buys good, nice campers and motorhomes. On the left heading north on 85. CRS has got me now and cannot recall the name, but you will see it on the left. Big lot with all sorts of RVs. Very nice folks. http://www.portersrvsales.com/ I had to google it. Inventory is on line and in pics. If I was buying another I would check these guys fist

RE: Sleep Number Mattress Questions
We have one in our coach. Inflated to the right pressure at about a thousand feet above sea level. Drove to the Black Hills the first time (slightly over 5000 ft) and it was like laying on the floor. If you are heading up in altitude, lower the pressure to zero first.

RE: Vinyl Awning Repair Tape Which one works best?
Had a dead limb fall off a tree and punch a quarter size hole in my awning on a previous coach. Had no tape, but was afraid it would tear larger. Had some eternabond tape and cut a circle of that silver dollar size, thinking it would do until I could get some awning tape. It was still in place and still holding tight several years later when I sold the coach. I wished I had put it on the bottom side of the awning instead of the top. Worked like a champ

RE: New Holiday Rambler Class A...no interior!
I might take a chance on one of them if the price was right. I see walls etc, just lack of furniture and cabinets. Could not get the interior shots to enlarge

RE: SC/GA Coast at the end of August?
Tornados give little or not warnings, but with a hurricane you are likely to have a week or at least a few days warning. Within a week you can be many miles from the coast into the mountains are further west. Go and have a good time.

RE: Trading home for RV.
I might think long and hard before making a choice such as that. What will your house be worth when the economy improves in say 5 to 7 years and what would even a new MH be worth in the same amount of time? What happens when one of you has health that turns bad and you have to come off the road? We are going thru that even now and it is tough trying to get back to even short trips.

RE: Any housing in Georgia with RV garages
Lewis was a great fan of Georgia football. *rumor* has it that one night the gate to Sanford Stadium was left and open and his ashes were spread on the playing fields where his hero's played on Saturdays. He was a darn good Dog. Rest in Peace brother Dog.

RE: construction materials
I think some of you guys are mistaking OSB with the old particle board that was/is used in cheap furniture. Particle board looks like sawdust formed in large sheets. Once wet the stuff will swell and begin to disintegrate into what is almost powder. OSB on the other hand is a composite wood but is large flakes of wood, maybe and inch or so in diameter, that are stranded flat sides down and layered on each other. Prior to layering, these flakes are coated with glue/epoxy/adhesives that are water resistant or water proof. Heated presses are used to put terrific pressure and heat to produce sheets of stranded board.
It is much, much better than the old particle board. It is also better as sheeting for roof construction in house building than the old 1/2 inch plywood that could have areas with no glue and/or voids between layers.

RE: Charleston SC - Suggest I in a
cross the Cooper River to the north and visit Red's Ice House on Shem Creek. Ask anyone in Mt Pleasant where it is and they can tell you. Outstanding food and a great place to spend a couple of hours watching the pelicans on the creek, sitting in the sun and having a bucket of bottles. They make their own sliced potato chips. Hot sauce!! yep!

RE: The new DP's may run on gasoline
Diesel engines have always ran perfectly well on gasoline but gasoline didn't have the necessary lubricants found in diesel fuel. This is likely still true so SOME sort of additive would still be required.
NOT!!

RE: Brake Buddy "Stealth " toad brake
I just worry about pulleys and cables and screws in the firewall. Screws can pop out on a lot of pressure, cables can kink and the brake pedal not retreat. If I was going with that kind of system, I might use the Air Force One since it does not have to rely on brute pressure on the brake pedal. It keeps vacuum pressure up on the towed. We use the regular ole Brake Buddy (proportional braking) and it has worked fine thus far. It is a PIA when you arrive and have to find a place to set it when you use the towed

Enjoy the fact that it is 3 lanes and you will not be bottled up in traffic as trucks (and there will be a lot of them!) are required to stay in the two right lanes.
