I've had a couple of them and both worked great..  The first was for my 1999 Dodge truck. it was the "rearview mirror" type that fit over the inside mirror and had wires running back to the rear of the truck camper for the back-up camera system.  Started recording when ignition was turned on...

If you have an Class A or C Motor Home or RV trailer,  … I would check into the FMCA or a similar company specializing in roadside assistance for large RVs. You want to be sure your rig can be towed "Together" and the trailer is not left sitting on side of road. YES that has been known to...

Thanks.. have forwarded to friend with new F-150.. My F-150 is a 2010 so hopefully it's not included in the group John

While browsing the Forums I came across a discussion on sleeping in a car in cold weather. Rather than highjack that thread I thought I would start a new one covering more aspects than just sleeping in a car. Please remember these are just my experiences and each of us have had different ones...

JohnnyB's photos are the way to go..  Ask for "LATH" strips at places like Home Depot or Lowes and even some lumber yards may have them.. So what is LATH (lathing) ? it's the 2" x 1/4" boards (wood slats) that are nailed to wall studs (sometimes used with chicken wire)  to hold the plaster...

Remember.... it's not how much weight your vehicle can tow...  it's how much weight your vehicle can safely control and stop. A little Volkswagen car can tow 20,000 lbs.. (around a parking lot)    BUT …. can it control and stop the 20,000 lbs in an emergency stop or on a windy day at 60 mph ...

oops, sorry if I misunderstood.. I based my post on what   MARMAXFARMS  said in the original post...  "My refrigerator has not worked on electric for awhile but on gas great. Was running, put in a new battery in RV and it stopped running. Now will not work at all.  What could the problem be? ...

If it is a DOMETIC  fridge WITHOUT a compressor.. Simply take it out and turn it upside down for several hours, maybe even overnight..  Then turn it right side up and plug it in.. it should work great, assuming there is refrigerant in it. Those Dometic  fridges last forever but are bad about...

first thing to mind is "WOW!".. what a concept.  The idea is great, but I'm not sure I want something like that plugged into my hitch receiver. With the wind buffeting it and only a "One Point" hook-up, I would end up with a permanent wrinkle in my seat cover after just ten minutes on the...

I agree..

After giving up the 1977 Van voluntarily to the bank it was financed through  and then buying a 2cd hand PU truck and slide in camper and having it repo'd by the bank it was financed through, we decided to pay cash for everything from then on..  We managed to scrape enough money together to buy...

"get rid of all the politicians"  … heh heh heh .. I'm all for that.. Holy Cow, I thought all states had done away with food taxes except for "prepared and served" food like at a restaurant. Like a lot of Americans I'm not much on "Federal Intervention", but in the case of taxes on food...

I was raised in Kinston, went to school there, etc.. and after coming home from 8 yrs in the Navy, my Father and I opened a Western Auto Store in Farmville. but after about 7 or 8 years I could not take being tied down anymore and I "Ran away from home".. I spent the next ten years wandering...

Take a moment to think back to your "Growing Up" years..  Those years between the ages of 6 and 15. BEFORE you got your first car and discovered the world was larger than your family.  ** What was the favorite food back then and have not eaten since.. maybe a food your Mother made or a...

hummnnn.. somehow you guys have missed the point of my post.. it's not the "Cost" that's important ..  it's the dream of a "SINGLE WOMAN"  to be free and travel around the country  "by herself".  Her desire and her fear mingled together that make it so hard to "jump in the water" and try...
