    Bighorn Sighting

    Decided to head to MD rally early. Left Colonial Beach around 1000 hrs and headed up Rt 301 N. Just short of the middle of the Harry Nice bridge we passed a Bighorn. :) TV was a dark color. Bridge too narrow for me to get much more. :( Reta blew the horns in salute! :cool:

    Brunswick, GA Area Camping

    We discovered a really nice, reasonably priced, campground this week. It is the Coastal Georgia RV Resort...Phone # 912.264.3869 and website is www.coastalgarvresort.com. Place is relatively new with lots of nice features. It's really convenient to I-95. I'd say that it would be a really...

    Use of 303 Protectant in Lieu of Wax

    I bought a gallon of 303 at the Tampa RV show. Just now got around to applying it. My initial thoughts after doing the roof was that it's a good product. After working one afternoon on the front cap, I began to have my doubts because of streaking. Knowing Southern Nights and Flying Dutchman...

    Hanging 8' step ladder from frame

    Seeking some input from some of you "pros". I'm considering hanging my 8' step ladder under my coach, at the back, just forward of the rear stabilizers. I currently carry a 6' ladder in the basement and, not only would I like to get it out of there, I'm finding that I no longer feel...

    ATF: Bighorn - Bighorn breaker box capacity

    Had our coach in for some "well baby" work. Asked about running a dedicated circuit to support a fireplace that I'd installed. Was told there was no room in the breaker box for another circuit. How can this be? Do you have different size boxes that are installed that are keyed to original...

    Florida Campgrounds

    As always when folks start thinking about heading south for the winter people start asking about places to camp in Florida. Was visiting Campers Inn, a Sundance dealer in Leesburg, FL, yesterday and ran across a publication called CampFlorida. :cool: It is a great source for all campgrounds...

    Water flow at kitchen sink

    Recently had an issue with next to no water at the kitchen sink. Initial action was to clean faucet screen. That got us going again. Probably just have never noticed but there is a distinct difference between bath and kitchen flow rates. Is that typical? Dick

    Currently at Charlotte Motor Speedway CG (Tom Johnson's). When I dropped the coach on friday, the LED screen was blank. The system operated as usual but no display! :( Anyone else ever had any similar issues? Also, in case I don't get the screen operational, can someone post how many times...

    Fresh water tank use

    This is a point of curiosty for me. Lots of you folks boondock. When you do, you of course load up all the water you can hold and head out and for the most part are always cycling all the water through the system. And, I suspect are always sanitizing the system. My question has to do with...

    Tri Glide Pin Box

    Curious minds would like some input! Took advantage of the Nashville rally offer by Lippert and had the Tri Glide installed. So far am pleased with it but would like it discussed by the Pros.

    Screen Door Opener

    Inspired by Ray LeTourneau on his screen door opener, I used a heat gun and a plastic coat hanger and bent a push rod up. Works great - check out the pictures below. Dick

    Fresh water storage tank cleaning

    Anyone willing to share thoughts on the ABC's of how they go about chlorinating/disinfecting the fresh water tank? The frequency it should be done? :confused: Don't know how often it should be done but it seems to me it should be as simple as adding some clorox, filling to overflow and...
