  1. What percent of volunteer's would still volunteer if they had to pay for their camping site & electric? It's wonderful that so many here love to volunteer and help. Nothing wrong with that. The wages I posted was to show how much volunteer's was giving back over the regular campers paying for their site. Sorry I didn't mean for everyone to get their panties in a wade.
  2. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. 24 hours a week is $174 or $696 a month. 32 hours a week is $232 or $928 a month 24 hours per couple each is $348 or $1,392 a month Walmart & McDonald's pay much more per hour.
  3. I haven't ever put it on vacation since I got DirecTV in the 90's. But I have watched some recording when the Trav'ler was not working with a bad LNB before I replaced it. And another time when under trees and couldn't get the dish to lock on. It did take a while to get it through the reboot and the warning that there was no signal or no communication with the dish. But somehow I finally got to see the recordings. I don't remember now if I went through the menu different settings to see the recordings or what I did. I have done a little research on doing it and found if you are going to cancel the service off for good or take the card out of the receiver. You may have a few days to see the recordings if you unhook the dish cable before you call them to have it shut off. On vacation may be like when installing a new receiver before it is authorized they are a couple channel's you can see. When I put it on vacation the dish will be up and locked on the satellites and I won't be moving it to a different location. If I can't see the recordings they will still be there after it is taken off vacation and I have saved up to $450. It will be next Nov. before I find out. And I probably will do more research on it.
  4. Ever since I got both coast of DNS many years ago. I have never had local and they have given me a $3 off a month. I have no S&B only the MH. For local stations my OTA Batwing has always picked up something no matter where I was parked. The receivers on the TV's pick up more then the add on AM receiver to the Genie as it seems to have a much weaker OTA receiver. At my winter spot the Batwing picks up over 30 stations. Since DirecTV keeps adding on more fees every year and monthly bill has now gone up to $154.53 Next winter I'm going to put DTV on vacation for 2-3 months(after NASCAR final) and watch some of the 30 locals plus the many, many hours of recorded movies I have on the Genie that I never have time to watch. For the OP here are the many local OTA for Kansas City
  5. A stock Model 3 5.1 - 5.6 sec 0-60 mph Model S 2.5 - 4.2 sec 0-60 mph
  6. After 19 years my Gel coat has faded from a white to a cream color and vinyl striping has started to peal and fade. To be honest I have only waxed it 2-3 times in the 15 years I have owned it. I wouln't want to wax a paint job every year to keep it up. Really don't know how long a full paint job would last now waxing it.
  7. Don't forget to sign up for a 90 day alert. You can do it every 90 days. Below is what it gives you. You only need to sign up with one of them. A temporary fraud alert has been successfully added to your credit report. This alert is scheduled to remain on your credit report until . Print this information for your records. As an additional precaution, we have removed your name and address from prescreened offer mailing lists for two years. As a convenience to you and to further protect your credit information, we shared your request with the other nationwide consumer credit reporting companies, Equifax and TransUnion, and you should receive confirmation directly from them. For more information on fraud alerts and how you can protect yourself, please visit experian.com/fraud.
  8. I got signed up on 9/12 for the year of FREE monitoring. I'm pretty sure they already knew the other 3 numbers of my SS number. The sign up site is a https:// site. No different then any of my several bank account sites I go to. I get a text within 15 minutes or less of any charges/withdraws/deposits to my 3 CC, 2 Debit cards, 4 CK & MM accounts. Or any changes done to any of my CD's. I forgot to add. I have been putting a "Fraud Alert" on all 3 credit bureaus every 90 days for almost 2 years now. Started that after someone tried to get a couple CC in my name. 1st one they screwed up and had it sent to my home address.
  9. I am glad you like that kind of Full time life. But it is not for me. I don't want to sit at a Wally World parking lot for 15-17 hours a day. That is how long I spend at overnight campgrounds and at destinations I use electric 24/7. I don't have to carry around all the extra weight of solar panels and need to buy expensive batteries. That by your post will last forever and never need replaced. solar and batteries are free. I can only get my T-105 6V batteries to last around 7 years 6 months on average and then need to replace them for $$$, not free. I need electric to run my refrigerator, stand alone Freezer, stand alone Ice Maker, Both AC(Like to keep RV temps between 73-78ยบ 24/7) with one being a heat pump also, 2 small space heaters, my 55", 26", 24", 20" and 10" TV, Genie DTV receiver, surround sound stereo system, 2 desktop & 2 laptops, charge my iPhone plus 2 iPads, keep my hotspot working, weBoost, WiFiRanger running, hair dryer, convection/microwave(use it a lot), water heater, and other items that use electric. Yep!! I am a electric hog. I don't think my roof it big enough to hold enough solar panels to keep enough batteries charged(which I have no place to put them) to run all my devices. By the way I just checked my Quicken for 2016 my average per night/day for Full Time hooks ups came out to $4.48 a day for the 12 months. 2015 it was $4.15 way back in 2003 it was $5.15 My LPG bill every year has averaged $51.96 a year for the last 11 years and includes use(mostly exercising) of my LPG 6.5W generator. You enjoy your solar & I will enjoy my electric.
  10. My MH is 30AMP but 50AMP is included in price, NO pets on board, Ihave my own Trav'ler using DirecTV, I have my own Internet hotspot and can use either Mobley AT&T or Sprint hotspot. So no extras needed. I only plug into electric no water or sewer needed. If spot is level then I don't even put my jacks down and never put slideout out for a 1 night stay. Makes for a quick get away the next morning, especially if it happens to be raining.

  11. I haven't stayed at a KOA for over 7-8 years. But I just made a reservation on line at one in September on my way back home. I usually stay at a Good Sam campground around 20 miles from this KOA on way North and way back every year for over 16 years. This last spring the GS campground raised their rates with even my 10% discount to $40.20 a night. This KOA without any discount will cost $36.38. If OK I change my yearly 2 stops in that area to this KOA. The other 3 travel nights will be at PA campgrounds at less then $21.75 a night.
  12. Maybe the military campgrounds should let anyone with a American Legion or VFW card use them.
  13. I have used the Nature Pure system for over 18 + years for drinking, cooking and Ice maker from shore water or from the fresh water tank that I have never sanitized. Nature Pure systems are independently documented to meet EPA guide standard protocol for microbiological purifiers against bacteria, cysts and viruses. Plus Nature Pure systems excel at removing chemical and aesthetic contaminants including herbicides, pesticides, chlorine and foul taste, odors and colors, for great tasting water on demand. They now have a new filter system kit that is cheaper then the old style I have.
  14. Maybe they don't want to carry the extra weight that may cost MPG loss? Myself when traveling for 4-5 days to a destination I only hook up electric overnight. If site is fairly level I don't even put my jacks down. And never put the slide out. I use the Prest-O-Fit hose for the ease of adding length if needed and changing the ends. I don't know how many years I have used the present hose. But it is more then 5. I only use it during my 5 month summer travel. The other 7 months I use a 1" Macerator hose at my winter spot that is uphill. I find it is too slow dumping to use in the summer and doesn't get you the Whooooose like the slinky. But the Macerator hose has never needed replaced for over a decade.
