    Hanging cabin curtains in a minivan?

    Just got some of this https://accessories.lazydays.com/rv-designer-white-96-slide-track-curtain-carrier-12pk-a206w-20-1155?cid=52-0014-04&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing%20Shopping&utm_term=4575136602819320 with curtain slides at an RV dealer to separate the front compartment...

    Intro and feeling discouraged

    Hang in there, Kelloshot. The hotter the fire, the stronger the steel. And kudos to you for being honorable with your debt.

    RTR roll call

    Hey, hey, hey, I'm on the way! Am doing the final packing as we speak. Visiting Gunny in Fort Worth later tonight for dinner, then on to Abilene, Lubbock, Roswell, Albuquerque (family event), El Paso/Cuidad Juare, pottering around NM and AZ then RTR and the HamFest. Am bringing books and...

    How do you shave your face= beardless

    The Braun Mobileshave M60 runs on AA batteries, does a decent job, and goes quite a few weeks without needing battery replacement. Great when you really want to conserve water.

    New tires -- big hidden costs

    Ya gotta watch out for upsell.  How long did your tires last compared to what they are rated for?  At 78,000 miles, I just got tires (rated at 60,000 miles) replaced at a local Hibdon who said alignment  (and a few other things) was needed.   "Why?" says I.   "The machine shows you are 7% off...

    Credit Card v. Charge Card v. Debit Card v. PayPal

    Vagabound- having your credit report information pulled and used to validate your identity is creepy, indeed. Here's even creepier.  Never even HEARD of anything like this: used AMEX to pay for admission to the Memphis Music Hall of Fame earlier today, and shortly afterward got an email from...

    22 ammo

    What kind of prices are y'all seeing on .22? Is it back to $2.39 for a Remington green box of 50 (or comparable) in your area?

    Just when you become resigned to....

    If you use the luggable loo 5 gallon bucket toilet seat (https://www.amazon.com/sie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A5 Gallon Bucket Toilet Seat), you can get extra height by nesting an extra bucket or two.  Sometimes they get stuck together, though, as I discovered after not thoroughly washing a...

    Amateur radio at RTR 2017

    texomahamarama.org is hosting a hamfest next weekend with a prize pool of 5 Daytona 2m/440 5W handi-talkies for those who pass their Technicians' license test, and right now there are only 4 talking about taking it, so odds of getting a kick start into the hobby are pretty good.  What a great...

    Low-bandwidth YouTube and more

    For times when there's a bandwidth drought, www.publicdomaintorrents.info has over 900 movies you can download while you DO have decent bandwidth, or let it take awhile overnight and play it later. Some great classics, some unusual films, and some so bad they are funny, a la 'Mystery Science...

    Wranglers and Small RVTrailers

    Had a 13' Casita from when UHaul decided to get out of the camping trailer rental business.  Towed it with a 4.0L v6 Ford Taurus station wagon (bumper bolt on) and barely knew it was there except in high winds or uphill.  Well, gas mileage let you know it was there, but not by much. Durable...

    Truck Stop Showers: How Many Gallons Required?

    Amazing how you can get spoiled with technology conveniences. Started using a Flying J card for inside purchases (sodas, coffee, and food) then realized you can save on gas by using the card, too. The pumps used so far make you go inside to prepay, then you pump your gas and if the amount is...

    Used RV Parts, good sources

    A local RV repairman said that Colaw RV in Carthage, MO has a good selection of salvaged RV parts. Are you anywhere near there? Have not been there personally, has anyone else? Need a few things myself but the travel costs offset the savings, so that's going to get bundled in as a stop on...

    Neat finds at the Dollar Tree store

    Sometimes Dollar Tree has flavored packets of instant oatmeal, 10 in a box but sometimes you luck out and hit 12 pack boxes, then it's stock up time! Instant oatmeal with some of their flaked coconut mixed in and topped with a little of their Caribbean Joy brand coconut milk, yum! A month of...

    Establishing residency. Buying a rig. Or opposite?

    Most dealers I've ever bought from seem to have a paperwork person that can take care of it. But if it's a private owner and you will be titling it in the same state that you bought, can you meet them at a tag and title office with cash in hand?  That saves the "temporary tag" hassle.  It's how...

    dry milk anyone use it??

    'Caribbean Joy' brand coconut milk from Dollar Tree is smooth, creamy, and great on oatmeal! Anybody ever try it in coffee?

    Toyota RVs

    Nice writeup, John101!  Having also owned a SunRader I would do so again - but only if planning on travelling on slower, and mostly level, roads. Or using it as a starter for a lead-foot! Two experiences I had that you might have luckily missed out on:  The dual tires were mounted on a...

    Library access?

    http://www.worldcat.org/ is a national library search engine that finds titles all over. Want to see if any of the many libraries near you have a particular title before you burn gas going to the library? Hope it helps :)
