Enjoy it - propane is a reasonable cost for good fun


Very true! We have (if not _the best_ a contender for sure) ORV out of LaGrande, Oregon. 2 inch walls, and I could go on and on lol...

We tend to keep it at 62-65* F just like the sticks and bricks. Warm clothes and heavy blankets and throws make it easy.

How big is your big 5er?? Ya got me curious...
We are in the 20FQ. With 2 - 30 lb tanks.

Yes, very grateful for good prices. May fall continue in disguise as winter lol. More snow this week!!

A dozen bottles of wine and some more single-malt. Also purchased a 2" Sleep Number gel topper for the DS Dormi-Sofa air mattress.

A new Traveler sat dish reflector. Turns out they don't hold up well when left up and then driven under a low hanging sign (after 300 freeway miles no less). Sign was over the entrance to our overnight stop. Bang! "What was that!?"

I was sure the entire unit was destroyed. Turns out it still worked, although we lost about 1/2 our channels. New reflector (and about 5 minutes of my time) seems to have restored full function. Whew!

We are 38 feet, 4 slides and I just found out that some CGs consider us a 'big rig' after a couple discussions with their owners. Makes me wonder what they consider the 40 footer plus 5ers

I looked at the ORV website - appear to a nice rig but probably not sold here on the East Coast

We can just about wish for some of your cool fall weather here as it has been in the very humid high 70s to high 80s after a brush with some cool 30s air while in the NH White Mountains a couple weeks ago. Even Northern Maine and New Brunswick was too warm

Wink The tank. . .

Just had a 65 gallon Titan Fuel tank installed in my F350. Stock was 36. Now we can stop when we want to vs. have to. Had truck reprogrammed with full tank shows 843 miles to empty. Gezzzzzzz.

Passed a MH yesterday on I-90 who had his TV antenna still up. Wonder what sign or overpass he encountered??

two new optima gel batteries to replace the two original Harris deep cell...we don't have an inverter and use the generator to watch a show or two while on the road. We usually have electric every four or five nights...I think the Jensen radio drained the house batteries because it never turns off...the light with the time is on all the time even when the radio is off. We are heading to CW to see if the radio falls under our extended warranty because we no longer can fix the time.....

Totally unnecessary. Get a Sears catalog or save your corn cobs! You can also go in the bushes where they have nice wide leaves.

Be careful with the leaves
BSA recommend a smooth rock.
Nor sure a great thing for the black tank
