Bet nobody had to rock you to sleep after that day in the Magic Kingdom, I got tired just reading about it.

Perfect?  If it's below 85 I'm cold!

I agree, 85 is the lowest I would vote for.

This is Florida, I think the weather is perfect, can't stand cold and very seldom turn on AC.

I am in

I am in

How will this affect the one who book a partial site for a night just to get extra hours and a place to park? How about the freeloader who come in the fort for the day and claim the pavilions around the pool? 

Anybody ever consider a underdrive shiftable unit like Gearvendor. You could keep the high 3.08 for mpg and then shift to a lower ratio for towing

Now if all who no longer post will come back it will be even better. I miss them.

Waiting for more, patiently

good idea, thanks

 

Not to sure how sturdy the pup is, its an 85, but who knows, it might be stronger than the newer ones !

My pup is an 1989 Jayco. If it is not solid enough, a bracket might be welded to the frame for support.

I installed a socket on side off camper, through bolting at top close to inside cabinet, large washer on inside, for support. Hand rail slips out for travel and rides on floor inside door. Not stout enough for pulling on, but provides support for us older folks who are not a steady as we once were. Tom

I have that same step as Gwen and have a taller one from Harbor Freight that it slip half way under making 2 small steps to enter camper. I also made a hand rail that mounts on camper for added security for us older folks.

I never drive to the Parks, if you add in the time it takes to park and catch tram to gate it is not much faster, and after a day in a park I am ready to relax for a few minutes instead of fighting traffic

Fuses are cheap, replace them and see what happens

The Holy Land Experience is also in Orlando and is very good.

May be late, but I am here now.

The motorhome belongs to a friend of my son. His father got in trouble with police and his wife wants to sell it and get out from under the payment. I can get it for payoff which is about half of what I find them listed for

Considering purchasing a 2013 Thor Freedom Elite 23u motorhome. Need a little advice anyone have any experience with Thor products. It was bought about 1 year ago as a left over, 6.0 Chevy with 11,000 miles, looks real good. Just would like a little info before I jump

I am in, glad you got the milk can with no problem. Still have another one in the barn if you need another.

me too I am in

I wouldn't worry to much about the time it has set . I once fired off a power unit that had set 15 years, Cummins 6cyl diesel and it gave no problems. Have had several tractors set u for years with no problems when put back in service.

I have reservations at Long Key State Park for July 4 this year, so won't be able to be there

Also the tolls are usually lower with sunpass

That's fantastic, and more power to you.

But, companies even bigger ones used to care about the bottom line AND their employees. Everyone was able to make a living wage, and if you worked hard you got ahead, got raises and promotions.

Then bean counters got involved, showered CEOs with praises, inflated their egos and showed how they could save $$ buy cutting benefits and shipping jobs overseas.

The $$ they "saved" they pocketed and gave themselves bigger and bigger raises.

We went from the leading industrialist nation in the world, a true superpower (not just militarily) and turned into a sales oriented, customer service nation.

Skilled jobs are dying out, there are fewer and fewer machinists, electricians, hands on skilled jobs.

Now a skilled job involves being able to make change if the register acts up, or it somehow involves a computer based position.

Don't get me wrong, computer related jobs are important, but a computer can't do everything. No one wants to get their hands dirty anymore.

I'm just old and crotchety. I miss the old days when I could tune up my car in the drive way for about $10 and an hours time. Now you need a couple thousand dollars worth of diagnostic tools and $300 worth of parts.

OK, rant over.

I agree with most of your rant, however there is no longer a tune up on cars. All you do now is change spark plugs every 100,000 miles or so, nothing to tune up or adjust. By the way, I started working on cars in the 60 and just retired a couple of years ago as a fleet mechanic on police cars, the new ones are much easier to keep running correctly..

How about a small bat house.
