    Retired Person's Perspective

    I have a short 2x4 block I put on the floor every morning and step around it in a circle 3 or 4 times. If anyone asks if I got any exercise today, I can honestly answer that I walked around the block several times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How can I manually fill the fresh water tank?

    You can use the hose method as has been described. Another method I use involves a $10 pump I found at Walmart. I power the pump with my cordless drill. The outlet of the pump has a male garden hose connection so I can connect it to the city water inlet with a short length of hose. The pump...

    Powered Awning

    I agree. Our awning repeatedly refused to close completely. I tried removing the screw at the left end of the awning (there was no screw on the right end), but wasn't able to slide the awning in the track. I then retracted the awning to within about 6" of the closed position and pulled the...

    Nashville - St. Louis

    I've been on 57N between Cairo, IL and I-70 and it seemed like a good road. Might depend on which part of St Louis you're going to. 55 brings you into South St Louis. 64 brings you into downtown StL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plan To Full-timers For a Few Years

    Terry & Carol, Although we only have a tad over 3 months of FTing under our belt, we don't regret the decision a bit. Our plan is basically the same as yours...take advantage of the "hot" DFW housing market and sell, FT as long as we want/can, and then rejoin the housing market with whatever...

    ATF: Bighorn - Whisper Quiet ducting design issue

    In my experience with our Landmark, the only place that cools 20 degrees below ambient is the bathroom. This depends on the outside humidity. Last summer in Nashville, it took several hours to cool the inside from 90 when we set up to below 80. 70 was a pipe dream. The heat loss/gain in these...

    Refer will not work on gas - not igniting (FIXED)

    Re: Refer will not work on gas - not igniting Had the same problem two years ago.

I removed the control panel cover and started removing connections. The...

    Bighorn at Wilmington (OH) Thousand Trails

    We're on the list John. It's on our itinerary. Hope to spend some time before in CO & UT. No, I didn't knock or leave a note. I never noticed anyone around or I would have stopped. They had two or three national rally stickers on their rig.

    I've seen a dedicated access door on the ODS on other brands, Redwood, for one, I believe. The door also had a lock for security.

    Slide out tray in basement

    That's us too! 2 chairs for us, 2 for the dogs (and grandkids) and 2 for guests. Oh yeah, I really like my MorStor sliding tray. The small amount of space I lose is more than made up by the ease and convenience of accessing storage containers and other items. I will admit it makes accessing...

    Campgrounds near Elkhart IN

    We've been full-timing for two months and loving it. We sold our house without putting it on the market. A buyer practically fell out of the sky. We closed Feb. 26 and have yet to look back.
