    What's your favorite carry weapon?

    I carry a Smith & Wesson .38 special in a holster right under the steering column and a 9mm ruger in the side door. Can easily reach both if necessary. While set up and camping I carry the .38 and have a AK-47 in the bedroom. Just never know, but best to have and not need than to need and not have!

    Furniture Peeling

    Yup, had the same thing happen to our two recliners! Have had the arms re-done now for the back and the seats. Very thin fake leather was used. I'm sure they searched and searched for the cheapest, thinnest fake leather they could find! Gotta love camping to put up with all the cheap stuff they...

    tire psi

    If you are supposed to have 80 psi in your tires should they read 80 psi before you move the unit and after a few hours on the road at 90 degrees what is the maximum tire psi?

    5th wheel length

    I have a 29MK Heartland Greystone and it is 34' from nose to toes. I think they measure from the front of the frame, where it starts to go up to the bed room to the rear of the unit. I know that is what I'm paying for when I store it. 34 feet so I measured it myself and yep, that is correct.

    Good Deal or NOT

    Peoria Ford in Peoria, AZ was the dealer if anyone is interested. What a bait and switch operation!! I've dealt with Sanderson Ford before and they have never done me wrong.

    Confederate Memorial Day

    You know I don't think anyone alive today was there , so as of today, no one can be held accountable for what took place way back then, nor should we judge. We don't really know what was going on in those time. In the future people might look back and frown on why we are always killing each...

We let that splash around on the way home and the next time we go camping all is clean and smells good also. Just some trick some old wise camper...

    How Many Have Fired Their Weapon?

    I've read a lot about which gun is best, 44, 40, 45, 9, 357, 38, 22, shotgun, what ever. It's not so much about the size of the weapon as it is about where the round strikes is placed. I was in the military and severed in 1967-1969, I will let you figure out where. Used a M-14, the M-16, the...

    Septic and Black water tank

    Just another trick I learned from someone else and I try to pass it on. Before we leave on a trip, I add a mixture of water softener (one cup of dry) and (a half cup) of dove dish soap to the black water tank and let slosh around on the way to the campground. I use about five gallons of water...

    Mice?

    ​Mice hate the smell of mothballs, we used to put them in the boat when we stored it for the winter. I also have put them in the camper if we are not going to use it for a time. Might want to try that, or buy a BIG cat!!

    Is it legal to have pets in the TT while moving?

    Not a great idea, have you every been in the back when its moving? Horrifying to put it mildly. I would NEVER subject my pet to that. Hook up sometime and get towed around the block, you will never do it to your pet.:(
