Mike and Susan,, Ours would sure fit the bill!! It isn't offically up for sale yet,,,just unoffically. Here is a link to it and the Volvo on my Blog published today... http://mikepatstravels.blogspot.com/

We are back on our site down here in HOT-HUMID Retama Village, Mission, TX. Its way to early to be here, but its either freeze to death or this,,,,I'll take this.... Dale Bruss said it was 70 deg in Waco, TX where they were yesterday,,,,,thats my kind of day time temps..... Mike

Good Luck picking it up........It will be a fun experience. Enjoy! Welcome,,,looking forward to hearing more from you.. Mike

CONGRATULATIONs!!!!! Now get yourself a PressurePro tire monintoring system like the majority of us have..... Safety first...... Welcome! Mike

What is with this "leaving" the country bit???? Last time I looked, Glacier National Park was in Montana. Now I thought that was still the good ole USA. Did I miss something? Even the"road to the Sun" looks like its all in the USA...... Well I think my truck is a male. its has a good disposition, isn't moody and always quite co-operative. Thats the only way I know to tell....By its actions!!!:-0 UhOh, I'm gona "catch" it now!!! Probably have my pc taken away for a week!! Take care... Mike PS. PressurePro is more accurate than most gages......

Hey Rocky, My truck is lonesome to see his Brother, or is it Sister? Enjoy! PressurePro working OK? Course I know it is, they always do!!:-) Mike

Hi Larry!! We don't do BORDERS. But we pulled a 12' uhaul from Tallahassee, Fl., up here to Custer,SD a few years ago..... Drove the truckers banana's!!! I pulled in all the weigh stations, with my RV only signs slapped on the doors, but not one of them even gave me a second look. Just waved me through. I thought sure I would get to exercise their drug dogs. I was kinda dissappointed! Hey, JFYI, still don't get ABC,,,,,on the batwing, even after adding the winegard addition.. Must be a mountian in the path!!

Thanks for that info Jack. Pat and I are going to make a trip up to Glacier and on over to CDA next month. Going to take the Volvo and the 12' trailer to haul the Softail. Gone a week to 10 days.....Are they as expensive as the rest of the Rv parks up there? The Steak sound good as Ms Pat says were gona eat out,,,can't cook in the truck!!! do we need reservations? Will my 13.3' be a problem? Hi Gene and Ann, if your in our area stop by!! Mike

Did you ever think of seeing what it would cost to add a jake to it? Might check that out. I know what you mean,,,,,I would like to trade for a motorhome, but those deals are far and few between....... Mike

I have to 2nd & 3rd that,,,,,DON"T settle for "about" what you want. I nearly did that a couple times before I finally found "OUR" right truck! I'm glad I kept on lookin!!! I thought I passed up a SUPER deal on a truck, but it didn't have just quite what I wanted.....You won't be sorry, believe me,,,,,/ "us". welcome aboard.. Mike

We are back on our place on the "hill" in the Black Hills of South Dakota....... Gona sneak up on a few Walleye!! Weather is Beautiful..... A GREAT summer to all!!!!!!! Here is our location: http://map.datastormusers.com/user3.cfm?user=2972

Stop on over Robert, I'll be here until May 1st. I'm glad your getting out to a park.... Suggest putting your PressurePro system on For Sale section, you'll get a buyer. I get a call every once in a while for a used system, but not often. However I don't handle anything but NEW Latest MODEL's......... Take care! Mike

GOOD LUCK Jim. Continue to keep me posted by email..................Hope I can see your new rig before I go back to SD. If not, I sure want to see it up there!!!!! Regards Mike

Hey Rub a dub,,,,,,,I been wondering what happened to you........Come on over here to North Ranch SKP park at Congress. We have thousands of miles of trails at our disposal right out our back yards........ Mike PS...my son lives in LH, he is a Federal Agent and his wife is a RN.

Henry, You can check my Blog for the best route from Deming to Retama Village. We just came up that way and heve done that road for years and years, its a good road and not much traffic. Try this: http://mikepatstravels.blogspot.com/2009/0...road-again.html Just take hwy 90 South out of Van Horn to Del Rio...........Easy trip from Deming to the boondock spot I mention, then another easy day on to Mission. Tell Ole Gene and Pat McCall "hello" from us. We used to go there to his place all the time. he was real sick for a while. Hope he is doing better.... have a good trip! Mike

Pat and I made went 410 miles today, departed Hutch at 0800 and arrived just over the Arkansas line at Almo at 5 pm. Bought 120 gal of fuel at Checotah, OK for $3.469 gal..........We also changed out a tire to our spare on the shoulder of the highway south of Stillwater, OK. A G614 threw a tread. Thats the very first tire problem we have had in 14 years of fulltiming at about 15,000 per year.........We have been lucky. Damage was minimal......... We'll be in Little Rock before noon tomorrow....... Anyone wat to buy 6 nice, fairly new 16" Chrome Spoke Teton wheels? We're goin 17.5.... (I think!!) Mike

We pulled into the fairgrounds yesterday afternoon. Plenty of room,,,,,,,,,Steve and Gail were here along with Gregg and Bonnie. Jim (hogrider) pulled in last night. That's 4 rigs.............DYI and Mark and Dale are 2 more that I know of that will be pulling in today.... See ya all soon !

We departed our property in Custer, SD yesterday and made it all the way to Hart Ranch RV Resort south of Rapid City. Some 45 miles,,,LONG DAY! But its a good start, after attending the TETON OWNERs Rally we will proceed on East to Lincoln, Nebr and spend some time with Ann, my sons wife. Its still a very tough time for us all.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Gail and Bonnie Quinn fellow Tetoners and HDT'ers and Thomas and Gayle Gurksnis, Tetoners and Retama residents are also here at the rally.... We are installing PressurePro Systems like crazy!!!!!! Business is GOOD!!! See ya all in Hutchinson!!!!
