  1. I had a rim crack on my 2008 Cameo and my solution was to buy by 2 new rims that were close but not a perfect match (I searched all over for months looking for an exact match). The rims are both on one side of the camper and no one knows the difference. My dad once said that you only need 2 matching hub caps, you can't see both sides of the vehicle at the same time!
  2. There was a long term RV volunteer couple there (Ginny and Ernest) whom had done extensive research on the Presidio La Bahia. If they are still active and available there, they can give you a personal tour which was usually not open to the public.
  3. We too have been volunteering FT for the last 10 years and are now getting off the road (mostly due to grandchild). We volunteered at Goliad SP 4 years ago and really enjoyed that experience. If you have bikes, it is a nice ride into town, the March wildflower bloom can be spectacular and don't miss the Goliad massacre event put on by the SP park in late March. You can even volunteer and be part of the event. We did maintenance there and they were always looking for tour guides for the fort and out buildings. The only bad part was the closing of the gates at 10 PM which can be a PITA due to lateness and dark. We also did bathroom checks which was OK for us. They did supply a pickup truck to drive in the park.
  4. How can you be sure that you got sick from exposure to this one person? As long as you have been vaccinated, then you have done your best to prevent having severe covid consequences. Being ill is alot better result than the 1 mil+ covid victims that did not survive. There is no law that says other people have to be vaccinated, it's still a personal choice.
  5. The Trow Tree farm from Michigan is looking for some couples to manage/sell christmas trees in the Dallas/Fort Worth area this 2022 season. The time frame is mid Nov to a couple of days before Christmas. Email trowbridge_78 for more info. Restore settings to their default values Restore settings to their default values
  6. The leaf clamps are for shipping and installation to keep the leafs parallel. They are not needed after installation. I have wire brushed cleaned my springs and brush painted them satin black which looks nicer. On occasion I have even oiled the leafs which helps them run quieter and maybe last longer. (no evidence, just theory)
  7. Actually the general public distracted driving crashes is statistically pretty low for general miles driven. Like most of the driving public, I am too guilty of distracted driving and like most having an accident is rare. Also, most career truck drivers log many more miles than any LEO, so by rights they should also be exempt from distracted driving laws.
  8. Distracted driving means you are not paying attention to the driving. No driving course can make a safe driver while they are being distracted by using a cell phone or computer. That is a basic teaching message in any defensive driving course. Cops are not super human drivers and they should not be exempt to use cell phones and computers while driving. They are being dangerous to myself and other drivers around them.
  9. I understand the need for cops having this equipment, but why are they allowed to operate a vehicle in a distracted situation. All people are dangerous driving in distracted situations, cops are no different, they are not super human!! Besides that, hands free voice activation technology is available.
  10. I drove school bus for Mission, TX the last 3 winters, in that job I learned to tune out the chatter and just drive. One time a fight broke out on the bus, so I hit the brakes (lucky for me no one got hurt). Sometimes you do what you have to do! My pet peeve is when I see cops driving while they are talking on their cell phone and they have their lap top in full open position.
  11. So where do you go with this concept?? Is talking to a passenger also not safe in your opinion, how about breathing, is that a distraction to driving? LOL Linda, I'm just playing with you here, not serious, driving does needs to be taken serious.
  12. Show us what the problem is first, then we can help identify solutions. There is alot of expertise here that may help you solve this repair, if help is what you are looking for?
  13. How do you know that the person is not using hands free speaker phone when driving? That's legal. As far as smoking pot, last night we could smell the strong odor coming in our RV window, so we turned off the fan and closed the windows. Being a CDL holder and sometimes required to take drug test, I don't even want to be exposed to second hand pot smoke. A case of inconsiderate neighbors!
  14. As a camp host, its rare to have vandalism in a campground, especially against another camper. When you consider the high concentration of people usually present in a campground environment, it would be foolish to attempt vandalism. Now CG bathrooms are a different story!! Why would someone consider my RV not green friendly?? As a FT for 10 years, my RV's carbon foot print uses many times less energy than a typical house hold with 2 cars and a suburban lawn. Just the energy spent to heat a Northern house cost more than moving my RV house to a warm winter location. A latent benefit to my FT lifestyle is a reduced carbon foot print on this planet.
  15. I'm just not that paranoid to think that the state of Texas would monitor this/any forum and then place any priority on tracking me down for a inspection violation. If that keeps you awake at night, then by all means get your inspection. My experience shows the inspection requirement to be not highly policed, much like driving 3-5 MPH over a rural speed limit.
