am so proud of myself, Sunday morning I installed a new kitchen sink faucet in the fifth wheel. I've never installed a faucet before and just thought I'd at least make an attempt before I asked for help. It was kind of difficult getting up under the kitchen sink. first problem is the cabinet door openin...

Margie often posted in this blog under the name Tumwater. Yesterday she and her husband Bruce were taking their usual morning walk while staying in Pismo Beach, Ca. They were hit by a car and both killed. Stephanie, their daughter, reports it is being considered a homicide as the young man who kil...

Howard locked the other thread before I could get my $.02 in. I hope this thread doesn't start a problem. I just wanted to express our thanks to H&L for all they do with this site.

After today's installment in our saga of having rig issues addressed, the situation is basically laughable. Gotta find the humor somewhere, eh? You can read the recap of today's segment in this ongoing saga at my blog here ADDENDUM: As of October 4 (I think that's the date) I had written the CEOs of Th...

Hey folks, I thought I would start a new thread instead of adding this to the end of the Everlite Maiden voyage thread. It would be cool if someone with my 31DS could look at their plumbing to help, but possibly the other models are similar. Basically, what is going on is that we tried the black tank flush...

Ok, so I'm beginning to wonder if I've done something wrong or if I just haven't heard this before. Sold the house, gave away or sold everything in it and then some, loaded everything in the 5er and I still have LOTS OF ROOM left. In my drawers, in my closets, in my cupboard. Everything I've read before is...

Today we have seen a bit of progress in our situation. It is a sad statement on our country when one has to behave like a borderline *itch just to get the ball rolling on issues such as this. Really, I'm a nice person! Just don't back me into a corner or have me in a situation where I feel helpless. Thanks ag...

After reading your entry today I must say "Adios". I cannot believe that a couple with over 1/4 million in the "bank" would ask for the community to support them. I for one, will not. That's almost like being on welfare.

Left home Friday and drove 454 miles to attend the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, NM. Our reservations/rv space didn't include electricity, sewer, or water....so we were boondocking it with two adults, four children and three dogs, in a 27 foot TT. If you haven't attended the Balloon Fiesta, you...

Long story short, the two known major issues: We are looking at extensive deconstruction in the bedroom to address any internal water damage. The basement dampness/mold issue may be related to the known leak or may be resulting from something else leaking. The basement wall will have to be taken of...

I was in a Home Depot the other day and notice that my 3G fone was picking up wi-fi hotspots thru out. I suspect they are for contractors to connect with customers or their company, but the hotspots were unsecure. Wonder if HD realizes that they might be creating a future boondock site for RVs?

We now have two possible offers of jobs to think about. May have to make a decision as of tomorrow. One in Indiana and one in California.

Just posted question that should have probably been in here instead of "campground questions" so.... Does anyone tow the F150, 5.4L, super cab, 4x4, 2005? If so, what do you tow? Bought the truck before rv subject came up. Don't really want to trade. Claudia

Without winter jobs in line, we had decided to find a park in Bradenton and stay put for a few months, but had plans to head up through TN, NC and then on to Indy to stay with our grandson while his parents were in CA on business and then come back for Nov. and Dec. and stay for two month. How quickly things can...

We hit a milestone yesterday when we pulled into Dead Horse Ranch State Park. It's our 300th campground since we began this journey in February 2006. I guess when we took the name Wandering Wishnies, we weren't kidding.

Dave was rearranging some things in the basement and guess what we discovered. Mold. White stuff growing at the base of the sidewall, which is carpeted. We don't have the basement crammed.
