Hi Howard, Just curious as to why you opted for a pure sine wave inverter. That's what we're planning because of what we've read about some devices not working as efficiently (or at all in the case of some medical equipment) with a modified sine wave inverter - we don't want to have to redo anything at a la...

I can not remember where I read about a new 5th wheel - toy hauler with screened porch, french door, and patio. I went to a site after reading the post and did not mark it and now I can not remember what is was. Can some one help me

Howard, We bought our new coach...a 40 foot DP... 2007 Vectra TD, and we are very excited, but now we need a little information on insurance. We read your article, and it is so helpful...however we have a few questions. We will only use the new Motor Home for weekends here and there for this year. L...

Howard: We are looking to purchase the Hughes Net sat service. I went to their site and saw the home service advertised for $249.98 installed and $59.99 per month. This is with the HN7000s modem. Do I just call them and have them come out and install the unit on my 5th wheel? Or is there a problem wit...

Hi Howard, I read in your journal a couple of days ago about your Soda maker (Penquin?) This looks like a really "neat" little device...how do you like yours? It is easy enough to swap out the unit for a new/full one when you are traveling around? Thanks, Rick and Debi Gardner, Massachusetts...

Howard, not really a question but a suggestion. While in Colorado, be sure to take the Cog railway to the top of Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs ( just outside Colorado Springs ). It does not cost an arm and leg and it's several hours of great scenery. There may be a little snow on the ground there yet on the sh...

Howard, We are looking at laptops and would like some ideas on what things we will need on the laptop for fulltiming. It will be for personal use not a business. We looked at a Mac and Lenovo(IBM) which we were impressed with. The rest we were not. The Mac is pricey but nice. We have an HP that is severa...

Howard, I see you guys enjoy some pretty extensive hiking. What type of shoes/boots do you have and would you recommend them to others, or would you choose a different type/brand? BTW, your hiking pix are breathtaking! Thanks for sharing! Best Regards!

LOL, Howard, I ask for this category and it's here, but, sheesh! so many others! Too complicated for me. OK, here's my question: Howard, are you a very regimented guy? Here you are trying to get us to conform to which box we stand in. Luv ya, Howard, that's just my 2 cents. Nevertheless...

Howard, In your recent posting you mentioned that you had not had the kayak out in 6 months and then a few days later you made a reference to riding the bikes for the first time in awhile. As I recall in your earlier postings you would occasionally mention about getting in a run or shooting some hoops. I kno...

Howard, Trying to get our affairs in order in preparation for on the road living! Are those forms that you can order on line from places like www.legacywriter.com legal? We live in VA, and don't have very complex estates with which to deal. Thank you.

Howard, What ever happened to your plan to "housesit" a B&B while the owners were away? I know that you took that training. Has nothing come up, or have you just not pursued it? Sounded like a great idea. Steve

Howard, Did you keep your License or are you able to put it in escrow like a CPA would do. Do you have continuing education that you have to keep up with?

Howard.....I haven't seen anything about fishing in the Rio Grande river with your Fold Cat?? Is it not a fishing river?? Are there any lakes close to fish in the RGV?? I figure you're not using your Kayak since you get to canoe weekly!!! Dh is an avid fisherman.

Howard: Now that you have been "on the road" for a while and the RV-Dreams web site has grown, about how much time per day do you spend maintianing the web site and writting the daily journal entries? From your journal I haven't seen it being a daily necessity but you do mention computer t...
