This thursday june 1, my band has a gig in oceanside long island
(close to NYC) opening for the old band cactus. We are from boston. I
have a small pop up truck camper. My singer has no money,

+++ I have been horrified and dismayed by all of the negative posts
about the beloved Will Sill.  He is a giant in the RV industry, an

heartfelt, sensitive soul who graciously offers the very core of his

It was from advice on this newsgroup several years ago that I bought a Bosch Model 33618 cordless drill having 550 in-pounds of torque*, but as we get older, we usually find ourselves opting for campsites having water and electric service (plus cable connection and WIFI service ...

    I have my 35 foot Thor parked and hooked up on my half acre most of

We've just purchased our first motorhome so we're new to all of the care and
feeding items.  Our house has a septic tank instead of city utilities.
Anyone have any experience setting up something with a septic tank to dump
the black and grey water tanks?

I have a Starcraft chassis that I have converted to a utility trailer.  It
has the 4 bolt 4" bolt circle wheel pattern and I would like to install 13"
or 14" wheels on it instead of the 12" that it came with.  Anyone done this
who can tell me what will fit?

I made the tragic mistake of turning on the electric part of my water heater
thinking that the tank was full of water. I believed I cooked it because all
I can get is lukewarm water out of the taps.  Is changing the element a
difficult and/or dangerous thing for a newbie to do? I ...

Yep I'm in the middle of learning a lot. Couple of years back I bought a
white trailer. At the time Pace made a real black streak remover. It was
horsepower stuff. Had to work small areas at a time and the area better be
well ventilated as it would take your breath away. But the ...

I've noticed when towing (or carrying loads of concrete, etc in the
back) that the handling is a bit "loose" and uncomfortable.
I will try to properly balance the camper (correct tongue weight)- not
sure how to correctly estimate the proper tow hitch height (adjustable

I was looking at a 2000 Newmar Mountain Aire last week and found the
slide to be V E R Y   S L O W.  It operates at about half the speed of

Does anyone know what the deal is with credit card companies limiting the
per transaction purchase of gasoline to $75 or $100?
We've been traveling in the south west, and the first time it happened I was
using  my Am Ex card, and the pump stopped at $99.  So I figured maybe the

Interesting policy they have. I use MS Streets and Trips as my mapping and
GPS program in the MH, but have nothing for the Honda. We're really tired of
being in strange towns, out sight seeing, and getting turned around, so we
decided to buy a GPS unit for the car.
