It's gotta be this one Don

I've always been partial to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV). Along with American Veterans (AMVETS) they willingly pick up for resale in their "stores" to benefit veterans in need. Next in line is the Salvation Army which I also admire for their selfless work without "beating their own...

I had a rock solid but fuel sucking early Sea Ray 23 cuddy, One son had a rock solid fuel sucking Parker 24. I've had the Jenny B out 50 miles several times, the previous owner of 416Rigby's C-22 had it out way further chasing tuna. Not once did I feel less safe on the Jenny B. In fact, I...

I've had the same results with the Jenny B. Same size prop, Yamaha F75, similar WOT rpm early mornings on the San Diego bay with full tanks, normal gear. 75 hp was, after all, the "factory recommended" power for that year and came highly recommended by a very experienced local Brat, Rana...

And I'm not defending the Coasties either, Boris. I'm just outraged at the mindset that goes along with blanket statements like this: I'm certainly going to avoid attacking the author in this forum simply because his ignorance could stem from either never wearing a uniform or bitter...

I'm confident that statement is certainly not shared by the average C-Dory owner, Westfield. I better stop here or I'm afraid I'll violate the cardinal rule of this forum: "Be nice". Have a nice day, Westfield. :roll:

Naw. More like a latter day Ghost Buster. I think he got his gear inspiration somewhere on this site. He already looks like Nick Redfern with hair.... Quite an accomplishment, Bill. I take it you'll not be straddling anything for a few days.... Don

Update today: Four Coast Guard petty officers were given charges that ranged from involuntary manslaughter to negligent homicide and dereliction of duty today from that accident way back in December 2009. The full story is here. Obviously the Coxwain, Paul Ramos will get the worse of the...

LOL! The source of that link said it was forty bucks including shipping. Interesting toy but not worth $80. At least not to me. Thanks guys :thup Don

Good lord, 128 Mb of Ram. This puppy must be glacially slow. Hey Brent, whadda ya think? Junque? I wonder if it could run mapping software? At that price redundancy means "buy two or three and keep 'em in waterproof cans." :roll: Don

What is a woman? A real woman is a man's best friend. She will never stand him up and never let him down. She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day. She will inspire him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret. She...

That's a good buy!!!! Shouldn't last long.... Don

Excellent, Bill. Thanks for the teaser link. Isn't Yogi in the pix on Dana's article too? Or is that a clone? Bravo Zulu to her for a super article. Better than Dogs 101 for sure. Even Joey gave it three "woofs" Don

In other words,

Indeed, Charlie. The place to ask those questions about fifth wheel operation, maintenance, types, brands etc., is at the RV.NET fifth wheel specific forum. Don

My opinion based on a few bitter experiences. If you need a "couple of A/C units" you're rig is probably too big for that truck. One 3kw generator is sufficient for A/C or microwave but likely not simultaniously. Two parallel Honda 2000i generators will handle it all too. Think quiet. Most...

Yawn. June Glooms here in the San Diego area. We're all anxiously awaiting the early arrival of flocks of full breasted Zonies. Every July they migrate to our beaches and remain for the summer. A truly beautiful sight. Today Low clouds and fog and drizzle in the morning then partly...

LOL! It appears that we have similar goals while RV'ing, Mike. Mary sold her business in 1990 and we full timed for a year in an Alpenlite 29, taking a long break. Actual length of the rig - 31 ft. We downsized over the years, down to a 21 footer then back up to a 26 foot 5'er (our personal...

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that. 1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5" x 5" is a good size. Divide the...

Well, like Jim, I started out 5th wheeling in 1975 and sold my last one around 2004 and went to a Class C. With that truck you have almost unlimited choices and that's based on what you plan as an RV lifestyle. First decide if you will be living *in* or *out of* your rig. All of them can and...
