Howard, how much more could you have made if you would not of had cancellations at the rally ? You business totals look darn good for the rally with nearly $5000 profits. Also the month after with $1000 profits. Too bad you had the cancellations. Just wondering if you included the raffle money that was...

Could someone tell me where to look for the information regarding Howard and Linda's solar upgrades? I have looked all over and cannot find it. I know Howard posted it somewhere on his website but haven't found it. Thanks so much for your help. Mike and Gerri

Howard, do you have a annual pass to the state parks that you & Linda stay in? The camping fees of some of them seem very reasonable, compared to the one Don & I stayed in on our way to the rally, which was $32.00.

Hi Howard; I have noticed that you have an inflatable boat. Sea-Eagle is a pretty notable brand. Have you or any of your readers had an inflatable that failed(received a puncture,or other problems)?

Howard, What happened to the initial RV-Dreams Forum page? There used to be a box there with links to all the most recent unread posts, but it's gone. Did something break, or is that intentional? Thanks, Tim & Robyn

Howard, I would like to know if it is possible for you to do a scheduled chat on the subject of Internet. I know there are a lot of possibilities, with Wi-Fi, Satellite Internet, and others. It would be nice to get some opinions and some feedback on what people think is the best option. Mac and I were thinki...

Hi Howard, I have read all about your satellite tv system and you have mentioned that you TIVO shows a lot. Does Motosat or Directway offer that service or is it through another provider? Do you need special equipment such as a special DVD recorder? I have cable and part of the cable service is being ab...

After mooning over the gorgeous pics in today's journal, I needed to make a tangible step on my journey to independence on this July 4th. So I reread most of your financial info page and reviewed your 2007 budget. How often do you enter data? Do you still follow the Dave Ramsey cash is king credo? We did...

Howard---Since you are an attorney in real estate. I have a question. We bought our house in 1993 and lived in it ever since. We paid about $86,000 and are probably going to sell it for around $160,000. Will we have to pay taxes on the capital gains or can we just take the money and use it to buy our tow vehic...

Howard, Back on August 10, 2005 you wrote: "Being out in the middle of nowhere, we could not help but be a little paranoid about our safety. A big expensive truck on the side of the road and no one around for miles." Since that time you have left your truck alone in remote areas many time as you ha...

We just learned Hand and Foot this year, we've played Canasta for years and it is similar. So how do you get the BUTT part? Are there 3 piles of 11? Do you use only 4 decks?

Hi Howard, for some strange reason a few days ogo I started wondering how Howard and Linda would cope and react if one could wave a magic wand and all of a sudden you were both teleported back from your idyllic lifestyle to a normal life, house, job, commute and all the other stresses. Have you ever given a...

I'm sorry if this has been answered before (I've been busy having fun and away from this forum for awhile) but how come no recent campground reviews??? If you are just a bit behind (cause you're havin fun) that's understandable and I can wait. I really like the reviews and miss them.

I am getting ready to purchase a sat internet dish. I was informed about maxwell satelite but in shopping around I found dustyfoot.com. Maxwell set up is $1550 after rebates and dusty foot is $1295. I can't figure out the difference. Do you have and advice in this matter. Thanks

Whereas you have a truck and a fifth wheel, do you tow the jeep or follow behind. I know it soulds like a dumb question but I have wittness people towing trailers with boats being towed behind the trailer.

Howard, Your treatise on Social Security was great! Thank you. The maximum wages that are taxed for social security are something like $85k. If you earn $100k for a few years, is that counted into the total wages, or do they cap it at $85k each year for the sake of the calculation. Thank you!
