    Parking at the Airport

    Well, I guess it makes sense. Parking at the long term lot at the airport overnight is legal and only 7 bucks, so it is no surprise that someone is doing it. Saw it myself when I landed Friday night and went to get my car. Solar panels, blackout curtains, engine idling, Late at night.

    the tyranny of rent

    If people didn't want everything to be cheap Walmart throwaway products, and our income was more allocated to durable, durable goods, then there would be less for real estate and as such the prices would not have gone up so much, so fast. Part of this is also the interest rates. The banks raped...

    attendant misfuelled my diesel truck

    When I go to Oregon, I pump my own. I play the "oops, I didn't know" game. Since It's a rental they usually just bitch about it but no harm done, and they finish because they say they can get in trouble for letting people pump their own. That shit Job creating "mini serve" is crap. I have a...

    Buying my first RV... Gulf Stream Diesel?

    30 ft pushers tend to have front ends that are too light so they can be a handful to drive. Drive it a lot before you buy.

    Honey Truck Karma

    Was driving on a four lane highway in Northeastern Arizona. Speed limit through all three towns is 45. It was raining and flooding. Everyone was in the left lane because the right lane was a river. Traffic was moving about 15 MPH. Here comes some dolt in a Chevy Cobalt flying along making a wall...

    masks required

    I'll wear a mask in the store. Not in the parking lot. Not in my vehicle.

    Diaper pail for poop bags?

    We used one of those when my son was in diapers. The diapers construction and materials help with smell. Not sure that would be tolerable with adult shit in hot weather.

    Nissan Leaf as power source?

    The leaf does not have a hybrid option. It is pure EV. You cannot flat tow ANY EV's, at least NONE of the mfg's reccommend it. I have a Rav4 EV. I would LOVE to tow this thing. It has a Tesla powertrain. 386VDC, 43KW, about 2X the leaf's but with water cooled battery. I have left the car "on"...

    Walmart and Target restrictions

    We went to our usual Costco in Phoenix Thursday about 15 min after opening. No line, the carts were being sanitized, they limited things like tuna and peanut butter. Had plenty of everything except TP and the usual cleaning supplies, but we didn't need any. There were actually fewer people...

    Jeep? Yay or nay?

    Avoid the 2.5L 4Cyl, 2.8L V6 and 3.8L V6 powered Jeeps. The 4.0L inline 6 is the workhorse, and the later models with the 3.5L Pentastar V6 have the most power. All get about the same mileage. The 4.0's will outlast everything else. I'm hoping they will come to their senses and offer the 3.0...

    Switch them out to LT's

    Not all RV's are junk or poorly constructed.

    I love the Lance trailer, But when we were shopping, the floors always felt "Squishy" I was told it is because of their slide in camper experience. They have the truck bed to help with support. Needless to say, we bought a 2009 Slyline Nomad. Great trailer. Built well. My sister has it now as we...

    Couples - what did you choose

    Consider a Safari Trek. They are class A and usually around 30 ft. They come in three flavors: 1. Isuzu NPR Chassis with a very small 4-banger diesel. 2. Chevy P-30 with a 6.5L V8 GM Diesel. I don't think these are turbocharged. 3. Chevy P-30 with a V8 gasser. Owners of #1 love them as they sip...

    What Qualifies as a "Reliable" Class C?

    Cruise America sells theirs as Four Winds Majestic. No Slideouts No Awnings Upgraded sinks and such, Basically a hardened unit for dumb renters. Not the cheapest, but well maintained and they finance...
