We had Verizon Wireless in our RV and don't need it anymore. The contract is paid off, so all you would have to do is activate it in your name and pay month to month. I have the USB760, Cradlepoint CTR350 Router, Wilson Trucker Ladder Mount Antenna and Lead in Connector. With the router, you...

Since we have quit fulltiming and bought a home, I have decided to sell my baby. It is a 2005 F-550 Lariat, that is not your typical RV Hauler. This is one pulling machine. It has an AFE Stage 1 airbox, MBRP turbo back exhaust (no cat) EGR Cooler bypass, Edge EZ, BD-X Monitor for Boost, EGT...

There aren't many folks here on the forum that know me or that I know anymore, but to the few friends that I have that are still here, I just wanted to say it's been a lot of fun and it was definitely my privilege in being able to meet many of you at the rally's and here on line. We have been...

I got all excited today. I pulled into a Flying J outside of Portland, OR an filled up at $2.02 a gallon. After paying $2.69 in Washington, I thought that I was in paradise. Then they tacked on about 25 cents a gallon "State Road" charge, so my excitement diminished about 12 points. That's a...

I just wanted to get the day over with and go down to Smokey's. Sneaking a look at my watch, I saw the time, 1655. Five minutes to go before the cemetery gates are closed for the day. Full dress was hot in the August sun. Oklahoma summertime was as bad as ever--the heat and humidity at the...

As I was having my 3rd cup of coffee this morning, I was thinking about all of the "stuff" that we have in our RV. I thought about some of the RV's that I've seen that were destroyed by various catastrophes and thought what it would cost to replace our "stuff" if that happened to us. We have...

When you're from the country you look at things a little different... A rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door. "Is yer Dad home?" the rancher asked. "No,sir, he ain't," the boy replied. "He went into...

I just found this and thought it was worth sharing. Turn up the sound and listen. John

I just ordered HDTV from Direct TV and have an installation date in late February. They know that I am a full time RV'er which is not a problem and they know that I'll be moving all over the country, which also is no problem. DirecTv said that they would supply a tripod. All of the 5 LNB...

I was browsing new products (ie. stuff I don't have) and ran across this. I thought that it was pretty neat. I haven't ordered it (yet) but it will probably be on my list. JT's LVL 1 John

As we travel around, many times we find ourselves a long distance from a friendly dealer. I found this site and it could be a source of finding a "friendly" service facility. It is also a place where we can post pleasant experiences. Here John

This has absolutely nothing to do with Heartland, Tires, Water Leaks, or Wallpaper. It is about the joys of traveling to all different parts of this wonderful country we live in. Have you ever had a Cheese Steak on South Street in Philly? Eaten Raw Oysters in the French Quarter in New...

SIMPLE WHITE ENVELOPE It's just a small white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas --oh, not...

I know that it is only November, but Sue and I have our schedule, trips, and work camping plans made through May, 2010. With that being said, we are planning to go to the Escapees Escapade in Sedalia, MO and then on to Goshen for the 2009 International Heartland Rally. I hope that Jim Beletti...

I received this in one of my newsletters and thought I would pass it on to you boondockers. I added a 12 volt solenoid valve and a return line from the kitchen of the 5er to the water tank. That, along with a timer and few pushbuttons (doorbell style), allows the cold water in the hot water...

What an act of kindness - - God Bless the USA - - bring them all home safe I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought. Just before...

After 41 years in business, I heard yesterday that Teton has gone out of business. It is sad to see so many of the "quality" manufacturers going down. I went to the Tacoma RV Show yesterday and talked to a number of dealers and the story was pretty much the same. Business is off and financing...

We have been at American Sunset RV Resort since April and plan to spend the winter. Another couple that had signed up to spend the winter had to leave due to medical problems, so there are openings here. The owners of the park are really great to work for and have treated us extremely well...

Here is a video from ABC News on reading DOT codes on tires. I thought that it was worth posting although the subject has been discussed many times in the past. http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4826897 John

As a few of you already know, I have resigned as Moderator on the Heartland Owners Forum. I've enjoyed my time as Moderator and have made some good friends because of our communication, although I know that there are some of you that probably won't be sorry to see me go. I did try my best to...

When I was quite young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to...

Sometimes we stop at parks where all that is available are 30 Amp receptacles. I don't usually use my 50 Amp surge protector with the 30 Amp circuits and I have seen a few that had been wired incorrectly. An easy and inexpensive tester for these circuits is to use a 30 Amp to 20 Amp dog bone...

I found this website when looking for some campgrounds off the beaten path. They list some that are under $10 if you are using a Senior or Access Pass, where the standard rate is double that, but they also list some that are less than $10. It might be something to use when traveling. Here John

You invest a lot of time researching a new RV. Then you invest a lot of money to purchase your new RV. Why not spend about a half a day insuring that your new RV is trouble free? I have read so many posts in the past few years by new owners with questions or issues that should have been...

I like to travel on secondary roads instead of Interstate Highways and sometimes finding a Truck Stop where I can get in and get out of comfortably can be a challenge. I found this on the AITA website that list the truck stops by state. Truck Stops Down towards the middle of the page are...

I suppose that this could be classified as a safety issue since every year, dozens of people die because of losing control on steep downhills. I found these two books on Amazon. Mountain Directory West and Mountain Directory East for Truckers, RV and Motorhome Drivers. Each state that has...

Here is one that I've never heard of before. We have a Dometic 10 Cu Ft refrigerator. It's a little over two years old, so is still covered under the Dometic warranty. Several days ago, it started freezing things in the refrigerator section; eggs, iced tea, lettuce, celery--you get the idea...

A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper. " Hello ? " "Is your daddy home?" he asked. " Yes ," whispered the...

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the...

Sue and I are going to be heading to Westport, Washington for the summer. We were offered jobs in North Carolina, South Dakota, Colorado and Washington and decided on Westport. After reading about the fishing, crabbing and Razor Clam digging, we decided to give that a try. We will be at...

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Have your parents tell you a story with a moral at the end. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. "Johnny, do you have a story to share?" "Yes ma'am. My daddy told a story about my Aunt Carol. She...

This Post was made by Slaytop in June of 2007 after a training session by a Lippert technician. Since we have a number of new members in the Forum, I thought that it would be helpful to repost it. The session was performed by a Lippert technician on a Bighorn with a standard axle. Here are...
