    The Hunter and the Hunted

    Couple funny videos from the dog this weekend. She's cute, but she sure can't fight. First up is our vicious rescue Maizey and her 3-minute fight with a cicada. (There were millions of the things at the campsite this weekend. The noise in the background that sounds like a dull roar is...

    Almost that time

    Headed off on our first warm weather trip of the year for a weekend in Savannah. Loaded up and almost ready to roll. Lots of blue in this pic.

    Dodge/Ram folks are lucky / Towing with a 2018 Ram 1500

    And somewhat unlucky. I got the opportunity to drag a trailer home for a friend using her truck. She didn't want to drive since we'd be doing it without a properly set up hitch and we'd be going through some pretty heavily trafficked roads. Her truck of choice is a 2018 Ram 1500 'Big Horn'...

    Mini Split Install, Completed.....

    I'd mentioned this in another thread but as I just completed it today...well, it must be talked about. We updated the heat pump in the house a few years back from a 12 SEER model to a 16 SEER one. At the time, I declined to have the ductwork redone because I felt like the quotes I was getting...

    Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) Hit by Ship / Collapses

    I hope no one is planning on RV'ing through Baltimore anytime in the near future. Breaking news from 0127 this morning. Container ship took out the bridge. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/baltimore-bridge-collapse-03-26-24-intl-hnk/index.html Wow... not really any words to describe that...

    Towing Pictures to Ponder

    Just a random picture I came across today. Broken u-bolts? Judging by the wheels, it looks to be a 2500/3500. Not sure what is going on with what appears to be the receiver that got shoved out the back. Might have been an accident, judging by the state of the underside of the trailer and...

    EZ Lube Axles - Second Service

    I know a lot of people think they are BS and that you should repack your bearings the old-fashioned way. I just don't have the willpower to do it, so I'm wasting immense amounts of grease and using them. I did notice this time, that I am starting to push out the factory grease that came in the...

    Roof Maintenance (Chemicals) Camco Pro-Tec

    This will be year #2 of using the Camco Pro-Tec roof treatment. Is it working? Hard to say as I don't have anything to compare it to. I know that I can rub my hand on the roof material and no chalkiness gets on my hands. The cleaner seems to do a decent enough job getting all of the...

    How Lippert Builds Their Frames

    I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of this guys channel, and up to this point I've had a fairly dim view of Lippert. I'd mainly filed them to the back of my mind as a group that was just hacking things together, spending the least amount and charging the most. I'm actually pretty impressed with...

    7 Pin Strain Relief Repair

    The jacketing started pulling out of my 7 pin plug a while back and I kind of ignored it until I decided on a repair for it. Came to the conclusion that the only way to fix it would be to replace it.....if. I didn't have a 3d printer. I haven't put this together yet, but will this weekend. I...

    Bryson City Area- Honorable Mentions

    I call these honorable mentions because I am far from a professional critic of places, but these are some spots we went to that we were very happy with. Pasqualino's Italian Restaraunt 25 Everett St Rear Bryson City, NC 28713 https://pasqualinosrestaurant.com/...

    Lakeview Drive - Road to Nowhere - Bryson City, NC

    I've known about this place for a while now and finally got the chance to go see it. Don't ask my why unfinished/disused roadways interest me, but I find them intriguing, especially when they have a tunnel on them you can walk through. It is a short walk to the tunnel and less than 1/4 mile...

    Legalized Gambling when Booking RV Sites (Sensible Weather)

    That's pretty much what it amounts to. Betting on whether it is going to rain on your trip or not. I thought it was interesting since it is the first time I've seen it. Given that the weather here in the south is pretty variable this time of year, with rain more often than not, I gambled with...

    Boca Chica Airstream Park

    Elon apparently uses them for temporary housing for people working at the spaceport. Just thought it was interesting enough to share. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y34ToSCqqsDPWVBn8 Incidentally, there is a dedicated Airstream park in North Georgia I've passed probably 50 times or so poking...

    My Grandparents and Their Rig(s)

    A while back I took on the task of scanning a boatload of my grandparent's photos and ran across some pictures of their numerous trips 'Out West' as grandad liked to say. Lots of Grand Canyon photos and some places that I can't identify. Some things I recall about the truck were that it had a...

    Water Accumulators / Expansion Tank

    Has anyone installed one? I'm thinking of putting one in ours under the kitchen sink since there is a ton of unused room under there. The install will be simple since it is all PEX, but I'm more curious if anyone is using one and how they like it, especially if you're using your pump on a...

    Do you balance your trailer tires?

    With all the tire talk lately, this question sprung to mind. Do you or do you not balance your trailer tires? I do, since it is included in the Tire Rack mobile mounting service, but I'm curious if anyone here just mounts the tires and skips the balancing. IMO, it is worthwhile since it would...
