RE: Seasonal Site in western Pennsylvania
Here is one in eastern OH. GPS shows a distance of 81 miles from Pittsburg. They have seasonal for around $800 + elect.
It is a fairly big park with a small lake for swimming and fishing.
I spent a couple of months there this year in August, as I have relatives and friends in that area.

RE: Would you pay?
Well as someone that will actually admit to having been guilty of such a dastardly deed, I will explain.
At a CG in Florida when I was backing into a tight space I bumped a service pole with the corner of my TT bumper.
Water was shooting way up into the sky! :E
I pulled forward and called the office on my cell.
All my new neighbors came out in droves to see the sight! :o
The electric meter was on top of the pole and the water lines were secured to that pole. Now all laying on the ground!! :S
Maintenance was there quickly and then shut down the water. You could see that the pole was completely eat up by termites.
Still I had bumped it. Never even left a mark on the TT bumper.
Well the CG mananger came down and I immediately offered to pay for the damage. His response was, don't worry about it because it happens often.
He was kind of upset that the desk person had assigned me this tight space from the beginning.
He had me back into a space accross the street and I set up.
I again offered to pay for any damage and he said no...:B
They had to dig up the water lines and repair, put in a new post and attach the electric meter. Took them a couple of hours.
As was stated if you damage someone elses property you should pay up or least offer to do so...;)
Life goes on...:B

RE: Adios
Hi George,
Hate to see you succumb to a few bad apples. I have thought the same as you on many ocassions.
However the thirst for knowledge in the RV field keeps me here. I have learned so much from so many good folks here.

RE: I just have a general forum question
I recently posted a camping related video and was told I was the 200th person to post it. I had never seen it.
My question really is how do people spend so much time on these forums to where they are seeing this stuff over and over again. Are forums thier whole life? I mean I log on a few times during the day while I am doing other things on the computer but man, people really seem to live their lives on these forums! How many hours a day do you guys spend on forums like this? Im just curious. Like I said for me its maybe at most a total of 1 hour a day on this one and I dont really have any others I look at. :R
And, we even have spell check!!!:B

RE: So you still want ot go fulltime? Are you nuts?
It's kind of like learning to swim. Your instructor has you in the water and you start to panic because your feet no longer touches the bottom. Your instructor has you try a few simple strokes and suddenly you are treading water. Pretty soon as your confidence grows and you start to swim you realize this is pretty neat...
Makes no difference if you are swimming in 4' of water or 4000' of water.
You do whatever it takes to stay afloat...:W
The best part, as a fulltimer, is you can pick who with and where at you want to swim...
Actually if you get away from the big cities and tourist traps, generally speaking, commodities tend to be a bit more affordable...:B

RE: Generator Question
Lots of RV'er have the Honda twins and are very, very, very happy. Reason being that two is lighter but more powerful than one. The cost should be about the same. If you don't mind lugging 140lbs+ around, one genny is easier to maintain for that matter. Of course, maintenance is a piece of cake for the twins as well so I guess it does not really matter. I have the twins and I like the set up. I just like the 50lbs-much easier my back.
Works great for me for about 3 years now...:W

RE: Cheap gensets
I can understand trying to save money. But why buy something that no one will repair. Or you have a hard time finding a repair shop. I see no savings in a set that burns out ten minutes after you start it. I would stick with brands that you can depend on getting fixed. Iam on disability and a tight budget,so I know about try to save money.
Hey Texas, although I agree wholeheartedly with you, this is one argument you ain't a gonna win!!!:B

RE: Which One Of These Generators Would You Get?
> Which One Of These Generators Would You Get?
Neither! I would spend the extra money for a Yamaha or Honda Inverter genset. I have a Yamaha EF3000iseb with 1000+ hours on it. Very Quiet and very economical so far as fuel usage.
Ditto! Honda twins here...:W

RE: HD LCD TV -- Not what model, but IF ...
This is NOT a question about installing a HD LCD TV, but whether there is a NEED to provide some extra measures to:Provide "cushioning" for the TV with shock absorbing (foam or rubber) properties, when driving?Provide a method to "lock" the TV into (or onto) the existing cabinet
We had a TV/AV "specialist" advise us that they DO home theater installations but declined to provide installation in a motor home. They were concerned that the TV would become a "falling missile" (our TV cabinet is above the driver's chair) in case of an accident or due to road vibration. They didn't feel the normal home wall or ceiling mounts were sufficient. Liability issue, I guess.
Those of you who have replaced your CRT's with LCD's, are those "real" concerns? Vibration? Secure mounting?
Securing is a must. I learned that the hard way. Brand new 26" LCD in the cabinet and when I got to destination it was jammed between the slide and the cabinet and resting on the below cabinet door knobs. Bent both knobs down. Had a hard time reaching in with 1 hand and trying to dislodge and lift the 35 lb thing up!!!;)
Fortunately no damage to the TV and it is still working just fine...:)
Since then I cover the TV with a small blanket, place a pillow in front and I installed 2 eyehooks inside cabinet and secure the TV with a bungee cord. No more problems and it saves having to remove the TV for travel and disconnecting all those wires...:B

RE: Learning Everything the Hard Way
Watching the movie "RV" might help you laugh a bit.
Don't worry, all those experiences have -- 1) been experienced by all of us, and 2) gives you something to laugh about around the campfire.
(except the burn part. Hope all is well now)
Ditto!!!
Welcome to the sh***y world, sometimes, of RV'ng...:B

RE: Possible solution to smoking cigarettes
This isn't a commercial but I've found something that has led me to stop smoking after 60 years of puffing on those stupid cigarettes... At least I've been off those dang things for 9 days and I've never gotten past a full day until I ran across a product called COMMIT which I bought at WALGREENS...It's an over the counter smoking aid that, for the first time, has stopped my craving to smoke and puff on those darn things...Granted, it's only been 9 days without smoking but I think I have my problem solved...Only time will tell but I'm off to a good start...Since I've never quit for more than one day in the past I'm confident I can stay off them and breathe a breath of fresh air for a change...The snow man...:)
Congratulations!!!
I too have been trying Commit that I got at Walmart and so far it is the only product I have ever tried that actually stops that craving. 1 lozenge, Commit, lasts about 2-3 hours for me.
Have not been quite as successful as you but I am working on it...:)
