    Screen door broke the hinges!

    We thought we were being clever by inserting thin plexiglass sheets in the slots of the screen door - so on cool days we could have the main door open, to allow the sun to shine in through the screen door plexiglass. Turns out after the years, that may have not been such a bright idea. (Pun...

    Tool for cargo door hinges?

    I bought a tool set of specialty screw drivers to adjust the hinges on our doorside cargo door. Turns out the closest drivers are either too big or too small. Anyone has a source for this tool?? It's some kind of "security tool" with a "pin" in the center... Thanks! Al

    It was great to catch up with some old friends last night! Glad we could make it, if only for dinner. Now back to my 50th HS reunion... Y'all have fun! Had fun walking up to JB last night - he had that classic "deer caught in the headlights" look!!! Good to see you Jim. Al & Rexann Schlafli

    BEFORE You think you want to Upgrade to Windows 10...

    For starters, http://boingboing.net/2015/08/03/windows-10-defaults-to-keylogg.html There are lots of articles on the same subject, try an internet search on "Why is Windows 10 free?" There are some valid reasons as well. Yep, Big Brother is now everywhere - thanks to technology, it's the world...

    BEFORE You think you want to Upgrade to Windows 10...

    First - my background - I own a small computer business, started in 1979. Yes, 1979, that predates MS-DOS and Windows. 35 years of experience, and no, we still haven't seen it all! Before you upgrade to Windows 10, DO YOUR HOMEWORK first! Just because the upgrade is free (for now), if you are...

    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: CO, Pueblo - 6/5/2018 to 6/10/2018

    Betty - You might also consider Lake Pueblo as an alternative camping spot. 15 minutes from the fairgrounds. Look at Arkansas Point, it's on the south side of the reservoir. Wide open campground, pull throughs. Great views. Busy on weekends , but wide open during the week. Reservations open 6...

    Yep - could have asked for better weather! Just a gorgeous week. Plenty of wildflowers to ogle. Fishing was very good - nothing beats a few fresh caught trout - and pan fried that evening! Yummy! Here's a few photos I captured before everybody left. Al and Rexann Schlafli

    Solar mounting

    clotus - Welcome to our forum! We have a 2010 Bighorn. Mounted two solar panels on the roof last spring. I felt the same way - the first hole I drilled for the first screw, my thought was "Boy this seems awfully thin! Will it hold??" So far they have been fine, and still rock solid. I did...

    New Solar and Inverter Install

    Thanks for the kudos! In my 3670RL, the washer hookup is located in the front closet (very front end of the RV) on the passenger side. AS I recall, there was a small access panel on that closet wall. The vent WASN'T behind that access panel (of course), but I could see it located slightly to...

    AGM Batteries in the Arizona Heat

    Re: AGM Battereies-Arizona Heat Despite the difference in cost of 2 6's vs 1 12v, I would rather wrestle 2 65 pound batteries than 1 130 pound behemoth! Don't know if I could even get the 130 pounder on board by myself...

    Ahhhh, the second of the two best days !

    Count us as another past member of the boating community! We started when our kids when babies, and they grew up boating. The last boat was a 31' Hunter sailboat, we sailed almost every summer weekend in Colorado. Yes, Colorado! Since we were slipped in a marina, we met up with the same group of...
