  1. Hello,

         We currently have a Garmin GPS and I've been looking at getting a new one that is specifically for RVs.  I've looked at Garmin, Magellan and Rand McNally GPSs

    and have kind of narrowed it down to Garmin RV 660LMT or the RV 770 LMT-S.  I'm leaning on getting the 660, because it is cheaper and it has a higher rating.  Any

    opinions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

     

  2. We had 2 blow outs in 4 months on the TT.  Also, had other issues with it so the Insurance  company totaled it.  Bought a new TT and it came with the nitrogen filled tires, so I guess we'll see.  We also bought a tire pressure monitoring system for the tires.  With all of the issues we had this year with the TT I almost gave up on RVing.  Had to take a step back and take a deep breath.  All is well now. (Hopefully)

     

  3. Just saw this:

    This tiny camper that turns into a boat is coolest summer travel vehicle

    You don’t have to choose between your camping and sailing weekend.

    Germany’s Sealander camper, a cozy trailer-hitched camper that conveniently turns into a lake-worthy houseboat with a few minor adjustments.

    So if you have no space to pitch a tent, just use all that open water on the nice, calm lake. Plus, you don’t have to worry about getting ashes from the fire pit getting in your sleeping bag.

    The Sealander is made for both sitting dry under the stars, with its convertible sunroof, or taking a quick dip with its built-in handrail and ladder. The camper is only 1,100 pounds, so it’s easy to tow, as well.

    The only drawback is that you can’t exactly throw a huge house party. The interior is only 13 square feet and has seating for six people. Seating also folds out into a bed. It doesn’t sound too comfortable for the entire family to enjoy at one time, but it’s probably great for a romantic getaway.

    What it lacks in seating space, the Sealander makes up for in storage. The interior can be customized to include a fridge, a grill or even a toilet. Now you never have to leave your camper.

    The tiny camper can drive at about 5 miles per hour, but it’s only intended for getting out to the water. Sadly, it’s not recommended to cruise the waves.

    Of course, the cost for the perfect compact summer vacation currently runs just below $30,000 CAD (about $22,000 USD).

    Currently, the Sealander is only available in Europe and Canada, but according to Maxim, the company meets safety standards for countries worldwide.

    Good idea?

     

  4. We drive unless we're going to MK, like most here.  If we are going anywhere else we drive.  We haven't had much luck with the buses except for one instance.  We were at Downtown Disney, as it was called then, and had to get to the MK for a dinner reservation in an hour.  We had waited for the bus at DTD for about 10 minutes.  The bus pulls up and we get on it and the bus driver asked us where we were going and we told her we were heading to the Fort and then the MK for dinner reservations.  The bus driver gives us a look like "You poor dears.  Good luck with that."  We took off in a few minutes, got to the Fort depot and immediately the internal bus that we needed shows up, got off at our camp site, changed clothes, the bus to the marina immediately shows up, get on the dock and the MK boat pulls up, get on the boat and get to the MK 5 minutes before our reservation was due.  I think maybe we used up all of our bus luck on that one trip.

  5. Grandpa: Nothing gave Buttercup as much pleasure as ordering Westley around.

    Buttercup: Farm boy, polish my horse's saddle. I want to see my face shining in it by morning.

    Westley: As you wish.

    Grandpa: "As you wish" was all he ever said to her.

    Buttercup: Farm boy, fill these with water - please.

    Westley: As you wish.

    Grandpa: That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish", what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back.

    Buttercup: Farm boy... fetch me that pitcher.

    Westley: As you wish.

    The Grandson: Hold it, hold it. What is this? Are you trying to trick me? Where's the sports?

    The Grandson: Is this a kissing book?

    Grandpa: Wait, just wait.

    The Grandson: Well, when does it get good?

    Grandpa: Keep your shirt on, and let me read

  6. Count Rugen: Your princess is quite a winning creature. A trifle simple, perhaps. Her appeal is undeniable.

    Prince Humperdinck: I know, the people are quite taken with her. It's odd, but when I hired Vizzini to have her murdered on our engagement day, I thought that was clever. But it's going to be so much more moving when I strangle her on our wedding night. Once Guilder is blamed, the nation will truly be outraged - they'll demand we go to war.

    Count Rugen: [snickers, then examines a huge tree] Now where is that secret knot? It's impossible to find...

    [he finds it and the tree opens to reveal a hidden passage]

    Count Rugen: Ah. Are you coming down into the pit? Wesley's got his strength back. I'm starting him on the machine tonight.

    Prince Humperdinck: [sincerely] Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work, but I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I'm swamped.

    Count Rugen: Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, then you haven't got anything.
