We have vent covers (screens) on both the furnace exhaust and the hot water heater exhaust to keep out the mud-dobbers.  But I was also told by one of the mechanics at our local RV shop that if I ever bring it in for warranty work for either, I need to take the vent covers off because the manufacturer will not cover either if the covers are in place.

I'm with you only I'd use a tea bottle and some "Crown Royale".... :rotfl6::

Water bottle with Parrott Bay Coconut rum for me.

Which beaches or is it all the way from Jacksonville to Pensacola?  We're heading to the Destin area in a few weeks and just want to know if we should avoid swimming in the gulf or not.

Well thanks for all the input.  I can't say I like the majority, but I respect the wiser and more learned fiends.  So it will be low and slow by hand and waxing after.  This will involve a few weekends and a bunch of beer.  Especially since it gets a little warm here in Texas in the afternoons.  So I will cover the afternoons with just the beer portion of the job.  

If I ever get a golf cart I will have the same issue as I finally have my jeep 4wd and it is all set for flat towing.

Is it OK to pressure wash your motorhome?  If so, what kind of pressure washer would you recommend?  Gas vs Electric?  PSI? GPM?  I am looking for a gerera use pressure washer for home use.  The main job will be to keep the MH clean, but the outside patio could also use soem help.

Amazing and I really like the the ceiling,

BAHAHAHAHA.... oh you are going to fit in around here VERY nicely!!!

 

I asked DH and he said part of the surprise is that you don't know if it's going to be vodka or tequila!  :rofl2:

 

Normally it's vodka, razzmatazz liqueur, grapefruit soda (we use Polar Half and Half) and lime juice.

 

 

 

Thanks again to you and Chris for building the rest of us a playground where we can start up a thread about a rumored private party, and in 4 days create the Fort Fiends News Network, and keep 80-100 people on the edge of their seats on a summer Saturday night - past most of our bedtimes.  And rack up nearly 10,000 views in just under 5 days. :heartsmiley:

Snarky Rules!

We don't havePolar soda that I know of in TX.  I used to love the diet Rasberry Lime soda when we lived in CT.  But a great strating point.  I will put my son on it, he is a bar tender.  I was figuring it was going to be something like soda or fruit juice and the surprise was IF there was vodka at all.

This whole thread was amazing to follow, but the most important question was never answered, unless I missed it......What's in a vodka surprise?

I'm waiting to see when Neil Patrick Harris is the narrator.  We saw him a couple of years ago and he was excellent.

Awesome.  It doesn't get any better than that.  It had me grinning ear to ear and almost missing when my kids were young.

Part of the problem is Common courtesy is no longer very common.  If they were my kids they wouldn't be on your site at all.  They would walk to the other by by using the road.  Count me as part of the cranky crowd.

It's nice to see maintenance being done.  We have had several trips where everything was starting to look run down.

After reading posts back several months ago about surge protectors and with our next outing will be to Grayson State Park we have already purchased our 30A surge protector from Camping World.  We paid somewhere around $225.00 on sale.  Showing my wife these pictures really drove the point home for that investment.  Next is to get the lock for it.  It is currently on sale at Camping World for less than $20.00.  This lock just as in any lock is just to keep honest people honest. If someone really wants it, no lock is good enough.

We store our MH in our driveway in the North Texas sun.  If we end up staying in this house, I will look into adding a garage for it.

The extra room while traveling we found to be a big reason we like our motor home.  The last TT we had we pulled with a dodge durango, not only did we get lousy gas milage, but everyone was crammed together while traveling.  I decided that if I was going to get lousy gas milage we might as well be comfortable, so we changed to a MH.  There are the other advantages as stated above, bathroom and snack trips while in motion.  Being able to pull into a rest stop and go to the bathroom or bed without having to go outside.  We usually stop at the first rest area once we get off 75 on the Florida Turnpike and grab a few hours sleep and then it's only an hour to FW.

I have been told that the MH or TT can be considered a second home, so the interest you pay on the loan may be tax deductable  If so the higher priced MH and a more cost effective tow car should be a better deduction than a lower priced TT and a high priced tow vechile. 

And if the vechicle you get to tow a TT is used as a daily commuter vechicle what is the cost of using it daily vs. the cost of a small dingy vechicle daily.

There are other Grapefruit Beers more available.  Here in North Texas there is Seeradler plus, which is a little more grapefruity then what you get in Germany but still a pretty good alternative.

Thanks for the help and advice.  At least I not crazy....at least not about seeing the buy and sell board anyway.

Is there a place on the site to post camping equipment for sale?  I would swear I was reading it the other day or I could have been dreaming.  I

Not all the loops have wi-fi.  The only place the wi-fi seems to work is near the trading posts.  The fort has some modems that connect to the cable tv sytem.  There is a deposit for the modem, that you will get back when you return it.  If your VZ phone is hotspot capable, that may br the way to go.  We have done both over the years, I like using the phone as a hot spot but there is a monthly charge from VZ.  There is a limited amount of modems available.

Just to add my 2 cents worth.  We keep them both closed and dump as needed.  But once the grey tank needs to be dumped I always dump the black water first.  After the last time I dump the black the morning we leave, there the a place on the MH to connect a hose to rinse the tank.  I let it rinse for a good 5 minutes and thne close it add about a gallon of water and chemicals for the ride home.  Then we dump at a campground by our house and do another 5 minute rinse.

The main reason I was told to keep the tanks closed was so no sewer gas could get back in the MH.  But the comment above about keeping the solid waste from being left behind makes great sense also.

Schöfferhofer Grapefruit beer is available in Germany when we were there in March.  We also bought it at the ABC store Vineland Ave and Lake Street about 10 minutes from the campground.

Far more cost effective at the ABC stor
