Thank you Eric and Dorothy, and congratulations Keith and Carol!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mike and Ann, this was an excellent weekend and appreciate everything you guys put into hosting this. Free ambulance rides to the local hospital aside, we had a great time and were glad to see everyone again. We'll be here at the campground until Wednesday, and will see folks who hang around...

Leslie and I arrived today in site 180. It was a hot one, but we are set up (for the most part) and enjoying out first evening on the boardwalk. No crowds!

Leslie and I will pass on the boat trip. We are looking forward to Castaways again!!

Leslie and I are scheduled to attend this rally. We will be arriving on 2 September and departing on 10 September. We are currently set up on site 180. See y'all there! Jim n Leslie :cool:

Leslie and I have a favorite seafood restaurant that we enjoy in the Williamsburg area called the Whaling Company (http://whalingcompany.com/). We are planning on eating at 4 pm Saturday when they open. After we eat, we will be spending the evening at Christmastown at Busch Gardens...

Leslie and I are looking forward to all the activities on Sunday. We were originally scheduled to arrive Friday (still the plan) and depart on Tuesday around check-out time. This week the City of Virginia Beach "invited" me to enjoy jury duty the first three Tuesdays of December. Therefore...

ACTUALLY, you have to figure, you are taking a fully equipped house, slapping it on a set of axels, and driving it hundreds of miles every year at up to 65 mph on a deteriorating highway infrastructure (let alone some of the city streets and crazy drivers you do not have to contend with at...

No, sorry. Too many calendars already, electronic and otherwise.

We had the same issue with our Bighorn. I removed each of the topside vent covers and sealed around each of the vent pipes with flexible expanding foam. That helped a bit, but not entirely. I went on the roof and pulled off the A/C cover. I cleaned up the assembly, removing a wasp nest while at...

Leslie and I are set to attend this gathering. We will arrive on 19 July and depart on 23 July. We are set up on site RF9A, but Barbra at the campground said she is working to move us to the same site location as the others in the group. We can't wait! Jim

Leslie and I are set up to join the group in Willow Tree! We are arriving on sunday, 6 Nov, and departing on Saturday, 12 Nov. We have a hot tub site, and the rest of the amenities sound great! Jim

Leslie and I just spent a week camping near Ocean City, MD at the Island Resort Family Campground (http://islandresort.org/) near Berlin MD. While there we dined at two locations. One was a down-home cooking place called Goobers (16 Pitts St, Berlin, MD 21811-1128, (410) 641-0366). We had...

Okay, I have lilt the bubble on t-shirts for the MD rally. Are there t-shirts? Is it too late to order? Leslie and I just signed up, so we may be behind the power curve... Jim

Leslie and I are signed up and will be there late Thursday evening, 8 September. We will be leaving on Sunday, 11 September. We are signed up for site 163. We can't wait! Lem & Leslie Pasch

Leslie and I will make pork roast and sauerkraut. Yum!

I am likely late, but Leslie and I would like an L and an XL if available. Thanks!Jim

Yeah, we got all excited because Cherrystone is close to use (Cheriton, VA on the Eastern Shore) and we thought maybe there was one we missed. Thanks! Jim & Leslie

Which Cherrystone? I do not recognize an August rally at Cherrystone... Jim

Leslie and I are arriving on Thursday and will participate in Friday's pot-luck. Saturday we will join the group at the park - we are pass holders. We will probably join later in the evening on Saturday, therefore we will miss eating at Das Festhaus :-( We'll have to see. There is just the two...

Dave - Sadly, you wil have to pull Leslie and me from the list for this rally (site 197). I had a scheduling conflict with work and unfortunately work won. We will be attending other rallies, so we will see folks there. Take care and everyone - have fun! Jim & Leslie Pasch

Hey Jessica - my wife and I have been on the forum since we first bought our Bighorn, and couldn't be happier - with both the Bighorn as well as the camaraderie here on the forum. I have spoken to other 5th wheel owners, and I sense that this is one of the most helpful, friendly forums centered...

Yes, they do mark. My wife is not pleased about the way our Corian countertops scratch. We do have to be very careful. Jim

Every tire forum and manufacturer says fill cold tires to the max listed pressure. The number one cause of tire failures is under-pressurized tires. Jim

Very nice! I'm ready to take my 2009 out now! Jim

Randy - Like you, I did some research on replacement tires for my Bighorn. Leslie and I were looking at a road trip from VA down to FL, and found out we had the bad Chinese tires that were reported failing in the forums. I needed four new tires on a year-old rig - an expense I was not...

I had the same issue in November with mine. The trailer is laid up, and it is one of the items I have to go down to the RV store to purchase. I have about three different reminders posted around so I get it done before we start camping in the Spring. Like you, wiggling it stopped the leak, but...

Oh well, thought I'd ask. Sorry it took so long to get back to your reply - I've had the "crud" that's been going around - it's been hanging for the last three weeks. Ugh! Jim

Definitely interested in two for us!

Yeah, the price of Diesel is killing me. I recently downloaded a Droid app called GasBuddy that shows local diesel prices. You can enter where you are or use the GPS capability of the smart phone. I know apps like that depend upon the reporting of thsoe prices, either manually or auto, bit it...

Great work managing the forum. It is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of participating in. The only issue I run into is searching for users. I have no issue with not presenting user's names under the member listing (I assume that is a privacy issue), given only UserIDs are shown, but...

Because Leslie and I were planning on a camping trip over New years weekend, I kept the camper at 55 degrees (propane). The basement holds the heat well, keeping the piping from freezing. I also removed the cover hiding the furnace, piping, etc. from the basement so I can (1) monitor the area...

That's bad! We had 14" of snow here in VA Beach the day after Christmas - a 21 year record! The temps then went up about 10-15 degrees, melting away all of the snow over the next two days. The real danger were the 14" dagger icicles that were hanging while the snow melted. One observation - I...

Leslie and I put a TV in the space where one fits. We purchased a bracket through www.chesapeakervsolutions.com online store that worked great. Other camping sites likely provide brackets that can angle out or down, depending upon where you can moutn it and how you want the TV to move. Make sure...

I actually just addressed this under the thread at //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/12389-What-kind-of-MPG-do-you-get-whle-towing. I do not have the PowerBrake, but do have the Economind with the iQ in the cab to monitor parameters. I run about without a tow on the economy setting, and tow...

Over the past year I have been driving my truck after adding a Banks Power manager mod. Originally I was averaging 9.6 mpg diesel while towing and 10 mpg when not towing. With the Banks installed and driving while both towing and not, I am averaging 11.9 mpg towing and 12.2 when not. That is a...

Leslie and I will be there, with an arrival of 28 April and a departure of 1 May after the activities wrap up. We are set up for site 197 next to Byrd. Looking forward to a great rally! Jim Pasch

Leslie and I will be attending. We have site 30 reserved. We will arrive and set up on Thursday, 12 May and depart on Sunday, 15 May. Looking forward to seeing everyone again! Jim

My wife and I live in VA Beach, and strongly recommend installation of the 2nd AC if you plan on camping from MD, south to FL & the Keys. Typically it goes in the bedroom area over the bed where there is a vent. That area is usually pre-wired for an AC unit. We run both and it moderates the...

John - When I bought my hitch, I also bought a bed-saver. Once upon a time, in a rush, I failed to fully raise the trailer when un-hitching and, when I "let her go" (pulled forward), it slid back and down into the bed saver, preventing extensive and costly damage to my truck. I learned my...
