RE: volunteer for Florida state park
we're new to this forum..so no pictures posted of the rig..we have volunteered for a state park in northern Florida ..4 winter months 2014/2015 season.
we've never done this before and any helpful hints or advice would be great.
we're in our early 60's..
Our first winter volunteer position 2010-11 was at Mike Roess Gold Head Branch SP Keystone Heights, FL. Couldn't have had a better experience the staff and other vols made an enjoyable season. We stay in contact with many of them.
We make it a point to stop at FL SP's whenever possible, Suwannee was one we day tripped to while at Gold Head, very nice smaller park.
As far as weather, it varies year to year so just take it as it comes. We had some freezing nights but never saw a day that didn't warm up to reasonable temps.
Have fun.

RE: Kitchen slide issues
OK everyone has told you theirs is fine. Mine also, however had the same trouble with my sofa, dinning slide. There was a ramp that the rollers ride up on that somehow split and the ramp part fell out while extending the slide. Sure the slide came in but not even, as the rollers hung till enough force jerked it up and thumped on extending. Mine was easy to replace as you can get to it would hate it to been on the kitchen slide where all the cabinets are but even there it should be accessed.

RE: consumer cellular aarp
I switched from AT&T to consumer cellular was able to keep my number and reduce my monthly charge by $29. and have 200 minutes could go lower as I seldom use those.
If you have a AT&T phone you only need a new sim card from Consumer Cellular.

RE: Holding tank chemicals
4 years fulltiming nothing but water.
Here's a question about TP, what difference does it make if it takes 30 seconds or 5 minutes to break down, unless you throw 3 or 4 rolls down and then run out pull the dump handle under normal usage it all breaks down before dumping.

RE: Thoughts on a second vehicle while fulltiming
We have traveled back and forth across the country with rig in sig and DW following in a Ford Focus. We do spend several months at F&W refuges between travels and find the convenience of the Focus for sightseeing worth while.
While in traffic if I plan a lane change DW will make the move as soon as I turn on the signal giving me a clear lane change. We use FRS radios to keep in touch.

RE: Keeping things cold in the RV refrigerator while traveling?
Leave it on. As far as cutting it off when refueling that is up to you. Personally I can't see the difference in someone leaving it on while refueling and the guy next to you smoking.Have to agree. Besides, the gas gets put in on the opposite of where the fridge is and is at least 20 feet away.
But what about the fella in the lane next to you that is 2 feet away from your fridge vent and on his phone not paying attention and over fills his tank? Just saying could happen.
The guy is toast and insurance buys me a new rig.

RE: tv options
Ya'll must be lucky or we just travel to underpopulated areas We've spent half of the last 3 years without OTA TV. We broke down and went with a TailGater and RVTVanywhere, which is not true as we know of many areas where we will still not have reception but we can shut it down in those places and use the funds for Red Box if we can find one. Then there is always AM radio, I enjoy the noon time hog and cattle reports and Tradeo.

RE: Double charging for on-line orders
I don't see them not caring either. They called me right away and explained what happened. A fix to their system is not going to happen overnight. Let's give them a chance to see if they fix the on line ordering system. It would be nice though if they let us know here what was happening with the double charging problem as I am not willing to place another order with them if they are going to withhold double the amount again.
Update on my issue: First charge is still on my account and still withholding funds. It's been over three days now. I just dropped another $600 on Amazon and another RV supplier yesterday and the day before getting my new RV ready for spring. No double charges from either.
When traveling on business before and staying at a hotel, I came across one that actually had a sign on the counter mentioning holds for incidentals. They would hold a certain amount on your card (usually around $100) for any incidentals (room service, movie rental, honor bar, damage, etc). Their sign said it could take up to either a week or two weeks for it to be released off your card. Can't remember the exact time but I was a little shocked how it could take so long nowadays. I questioned the clerk and they said it depended on your bank or card carrier. That some of them are slower than others at doing it. You would think with today's technology, that it would be same day.
Card companies charge interest on monthly average balance if they hang on to that $100.00 on tens of thousands of accounts it could add up to an interesting amount.
And that's CW's fault how?
Didn't say it was CW's fault just the way card companies can pad their bottom line. If your card company or bank does this you might think of relocating your credit source or bank.

RE: RV floor damage
Wait a moment, this must have something to do with usage and moisture also, otherwise, all the new units at the dealer would have cracked Lino. I just went to look, and guess what, no cracked floors.
So make sure that you are completely dry and humidity low prior to storage
Vinyl flooring has plasticizers, over time they evaporate out of the material leaving it brittle.
