    My grandboys have birthdays coming up

    I'm aware of those type products (thank you) but would need to see if the gun still fits (two tiny boys) after adding an inch or so to the length. Plus I think he'd enjoy a (ARMY) vest.

    Camping, Rallies and the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    Are these above posted Heartland events still on? Or have they been cancelled/ rescheduled?

    My grandboys have birthdays coming up

    As this small/ lightweight 410 still has quite a kick I've been unable to find a padded left handed shooters vest for a 50 pound kid. Any helpful links would be appreciated.

    My grandboys have birthdays coming up

    Looks like I failed to update. The first and second cleanings/ test firing didn't go well. The third time was much improved but still somewhat problematic. While not perfect by the fourth time things had greatly improved. At $149 I'm now pleased with it; come birthdays I'm sure the two boys...

    INTRODUCTION - Florida Chapter Leaders

    Welcome (from LA - lower Alabama) ... Due to my brides work schedule we couldn't attend the last two SE events (Ga and Miss) so I'm hoping you'll schedule something in the FL panhandle; spring is fast approaching.

    TST 507 Flow-through sensors

    Unless you're gonna be running very high mileage then you'll never wear them out ... before they dry rot the sidewalls. Keep the pressure proper and replace the tires every five years, regardless of miles.

    M32 Stolen - now what?

    Over the years I've had two trailer security locks freeze up (likely due to rust). It only took me seconds to drill out the key hole and remove them; professional thieves should know even more shortcuts. While I've never done this I have contemplated removal of the wheel nuts - for longer term...

    My grandboys have birthdays coming up

    Last Friday I relearned the old "you get what you pay for" story. The extractors on both barrels are binding - despite cleaning/ lube. Next week I will attempt a more through cleaning (Brake Cleaner) and if that don't work move on to disassembly. Even worse: online discussions are not...

    My grandboys have birthdays coming up

    This afternoon I found a cheap hard lockable rifle case (Academy / $20). After I put a few rounds thru each barrel (to ensure function/ safety) it'll be ready for them.

    How about Great! for the money, $149; https://www.centerfireguns.com/rossi-410-22-yth-combo-blk-blk-mp4111813y22.html I've already doubled that putting together ammo (.22LR / 410 target and game) and cleaning supplies; I'm still looking for a short (momma lockable) economical rifle case (35")...

    My grandboys have birthdays coming up

    One will be 6 and the other 10. Since age 6 I've often taken the older one out shooting (my Browning BL-22 lever gun) and the younger one is now counting down his days before live fire. I've decided that the older one should then graduate - move on to something bigger. SO ... I've purchased...

    Central FL to Salt Lake City UT.

    The only thing I will add is when Hurricane Michal blew thru our area (16 months ago?) we evacuated to Meaher State Park in Spanish Fort. Nice large lots and the wifi worked well. They also claimed to have a campground wide problem with ants - but they didn't bother us. Enjoy the open highway.

    City water hookup overflowing fresh water tank.

    As to finding your pumps location simply get it pumping and follow the sound. However another possibility is a failed Anderson water valve (located in your hook up point). That was the cause of my water incorrectly flowing to the tank...

    Haul Gauge....anyone tried it?

    I'm always the skeptic - and I don't believe Woody the woodpeckers story. Sorry but I'm just being honest (admittedly even biased). It'll take many additional users telling us of their positive experience before I part with my dollars.

    Wilderness RV Mattress

    Because no one has directly answered your question I will throw in my two cents worth: For several years I served as a "standardized patient" - first as a (retired) volunteer, then eventually paid for my time/ service. I did it to be helpful, not make a $. Anyways, many schools, colleges (and...

    2014 Savannah Dripping Drain Pipe

    "Do you have a residential refrigerator on this side..if so... maybe this is the drain." DING, DING, DING. I believe you just answered a question I've had in the back of my mind. In mid/late 2018 I found a short tube that was profusely dripping - eventually I Assumed...

    Pin box upgrades

    If you've got 5K on the pin then I believe you need much more truck than a 3500 Chev. Admittedly I don't know your hitch but the name implies air - which I assume combats the up/down movements. Chucking requires something to combat the forward/ rearward motions between the truck and the 5th...

    Cargo carrier for the rear exterior

    Both my former Jayco - and my current Bighorn - had rear mounted bumper carriers, and both occasionally dragged - dependent upon the terrain. I eventually donated this Jayco rack to a friend and I eventually removed the Bighorns rack. Too much worry about approach/ departure into facilities.

    Full time rv insureance ?

    Why would you ask us OVER calling your insurance agent? Surely their answer should carry more weight than all our opinions. In my case I now have EVERYTHING insured with USAA. YMMV, but give your agent a call.

    When to consider disc brakes

    Still no hardware updates so I'll throw in my thoughts: Before I spend $4K on a 6 year old camper (you'll NEVER get this money back so to compensate you would need to pull it forever) I'd consider upgrading to a newer/ improved camper (one that may already have discs) AND/OR a stronger tow...

    Carpet Re-do

    There are many qualified (and hungry) workers who can do this job. Roughly measure and select the carpet you desire - to get an estimate of its cost, then contact these eager beavers for their labor cost. Work with them and purchase the amount they specify - then sit back and let them earn...

    Portable Ice Maker: Today’s Deal

    FYI: these get a thumbs down from me. My first one survived about 2 years and when new was quick to make ice. With the passage of time it slowed way down - then totally quit. A bigger problem is once the ice is made it drops into an unrefrigerated bin - were it starts melting. In order to...

    Tire pressure

    "Also recommend a digital infrared thermometer ($20), and use it regularly while traveling. That and a quality tire gauge are the cheapest tire insurance you can buy." While that may be the cheapest insurance I feel there is a better system: a TMPS on each trailer tire. This is a popular...

    Propane cover 20 or 30 lb?

    Excuse me for assuming ... but I thought dealers installed tanks and covers before sending them out. Regardless, you could live forever without a cover, so whats your hurry? Tongue mounted tanks add to the bumper load - so larger isn't always better.

    2020 4007 King Matress Measurements

    While I can't answer your question I will say that Manufactures will imply (based on company provided mattress identifications) incorrect info. My prior Jayco said I had a queen bed - wrong/ too short! After 3 years we gave it up, primarily due to this incorrect spec. If important then insist...

    Black tank flush in-tank components

    While I don't know the mechanics I do know that I've flushed mine for as long as an hour - and while I can see that the discharge is eventually clear my tank sensors still indicate a wrong result. I just live with it.

    LED Light in Den Ceiling

    Have you considered that maybe the bulb itself is not seated properly? Or maybe the bulb itself is defective? Years ago I had a somewhat similar problem on a 10 year old Jayco - but it was because water had worked it's way into the slides on/off fixture switch.

    Not to point fingers BUT I believe that's a fault of our loveable female species. When my daughters are home they consume a full package of TP in just several days. YMMV.

    Insurance cost what do you pay.

    I guess that makes me (my Bighorn) an outlier. My USAA insurance (sorry I don't know the details) is $52 per 6 months. Maybe I'm under-insured, but that's what they recommended when I added it to my policy (house, multiple vehicles, and this 5th wheel).

    Peeling Couches

    That material is unlovingly referred to as pleather, Plastic Leather. It goes by many different names, set by the manufacturer; as many have found its cheap junk. It's also commonly sold in many fine furniture places.

    Fantastic Fan

    My opinion is if you want one then have it done. We never use our kitchen vent - but the bathroom vent is often running. In fairness we almost never cook indoors - plus our kitchen has a regular ceiling fan that runs most of the time.

    Dimensions?

    One thing I've learned about RVs is there is no standard mattress sizing. My first camper had a king label, and if we slept sideways, stacked front to rear, it'd fit three people. As I need frequent pee breaks I slept on the outside; my bride had to crawl over me to get in/out. The third...

    Truck

    A GVWR of 16500 will (when properly loaded) give you a pin weight up to 4125. That requires a dually. Fords largest gas engines will pull it but diesels (while expensive) are preferred by most. I have nearly the same fifth wheel (see below). Had I been able to find an F450 (additional...
