@ owl: &nbsp;The opening poster cited statistics. &nbsp;I was just following along.&nbsp;<br><br>@twokniveskatie. &nbsp;First, thanks for all your work on the forum. &nbsp;Per your request, I understand additional information that is not consistent with the bias of the forum is not welcome...

Consistent with the opening poster's goal of education:<strong style="line-height: 16px;"><br><br>Q - If I choose to carry a gun will I be more likely to die a violent death than if I don't carry such a weapon?<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Yes. &nbsp;</strong>Sorry, but since you like statistics...

two winters ago I spent 3 months in Mexico. &nbsp;Crossed at Laredo, down to San Miguel de Allende then to the south of Guadalajara, out to the west coast at Colima, up the west coast. &nbsp;Then at Hermosillo, I crossed the Sierra Madre to Chihuahua and exited back to the US in the Big Bend...

The challenge with a private individual is to make sure you are not dependent then on a single person. The risk being he or she has something happen to them. &nbsp; It sort of sounds though like you might know a few folks in the area and it sounds like you may have a sticks and bricks house...

TX Gypsy: &nbsp;The issue of forwarding mail from a mail service is not unique to Escapees. &nbsp;That is an issue with any mail service. &nbsp;They are obligated to collect and forward the mail sent to you at that address for 6 months after you stop using the service. &nbsp;It is up to you to...

Thanks for the insight on alternator charging. &nbsp;I certainly don't use an idling approach to get that final 20%. &nbsp;But for the 50% to 80% I find that idling is quicker than the generator. &nbsp;But then again I only have a 30 amp converter in my rig and I am sure it is not efficient, so...

Noah, yes, that now makes sense. &nbsp;I assume the window unit will be 1500 watts probably at best. &nbsp;So conceptually, you have 500 watts left. &nbsp;I think others can comment on start up demand for the A/C, but what I think I might try in your situation is to get a small battery charger...

<p>I get about 9 mpg in a Chevy Class c if not towing a 2500 lb Miata and about 8.5 mpg when I tow it. That is a 5.6% or so reduction in mileage I guess. &nbsp;That translates (I think) to 0.22% reduction per 100 lbs. &nbsp;So for me, it would seem that getting rid of the 30 gallons of liquid I...

Unfortunately your question is like asking a homeless person how much it costs to live. &nbsp;You don't know if he/she sleeps every night outside on the street and walks where he goes or in a Ritz Carlton type place and uses cabs and chartered jets to fly around the world. &nbsp;Both could be...

I agree with the others, but wonder why you would run a generator rather than just idle the engine? &nbsp;I know there will be some talk about how it hurts an engine to idle, but when you look at not just semi's, but police cars, taxis and all kinds of other idling vehicles, it causes you to...

@ Travel: &nbsp;I fall into the "just use it" camp. &nbsp;For a new one, or if you cook something that takes the oil away, or if you wash it, then I would wipe it with oil before putting it away as others have mentioned. &nbsp;You do not want it to dry out or rust. &nbsp;If it does, it can be...

Les, I was thinking a regular TV. &nbsp;A LCD or LED would be better without question. &nbsp;It sounds like we have pretty much the same experience. &nbsp;If you are really careful, the HF can work. Then again most of the issue is managing your electrical usage. &nbsp;Especially if you are...

<p>I won't talk about lead in the pans, but do a little chemical research about melting points of lead vs. iron and once you learn the chemistry you probably won't worry about that. &nbsp;<br><br></p><p>I bought three of the cheap china pans at Harbor Freight on a lark. &nbsp;When I bought them...

I got a set of HF panels and they really don't do too much. &nbsp;You should calculate your use and calculate the watts/amps and all that stuff. &nbsp;It made my head swim. &nbsp;Long and short though, it probably won't meet your needs even without a 12 volt fridge. &nbsp; If you get. 3.5 amp...

I have even had that kind of soup cold. &nbsp;When I traveled with just a conversion van, I had a 12 volt plug in immersion heater that would boil nicely once I was a half hour down the road. &nbsp;I also used a small cook top that screwed onto a 1lb propane bottle that heated nicely at a rest...

Yes Blars, I think you may be right. &nbsp;The unlimited plan may use Sprint, or at least Sprint is one choice and possibly the default choice. &nbsp;But when I ordered mine, I did chat with the guy about RV'ing and specifically wanted Verizon because of more towers and he agreed and he didn't...

Add some water and spices and you have a nice soup. &nbsp;Instead of a fresh tomato for soup, I use a can of diced tomatoes that have some flavor and spices already in the can.

FWIW, Millenicom has 20 GB of 3G/4G per month using Verizon towers for $69.99, no taxes. &nbsp;It is claimed to be unlimited if you get a USB stick, but they monitor you if you get above 50 GB they say. &nbsp;The equipment is the same mifi wi-fi router or USB stick pretty much as at Walmart and...

Diane, good luck. I don't know what else to say. I am not sure your issue is the same as the OP, but it is something that at the end of the day, IMHO, you have to just say OK, let's move on.<br><br>For the OP and the others, I have found that (i) St. John's Wort tablets; (ii) Fish Oil...

I have two tours under my belt. &nbsp;One from <a href="http://mike2dc.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Akron to Washington DC&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;and <a href="http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/?o=1&amp;doc_id=6306&amp;v=4x" rel="nofollow">another one</a> that was going to be a full Southern Tier plus...
