  1. I actually dont think its a big deal. during my time in the Army, i never needed any real math skills. the people that really need math skills, like Intelligence and topography and maybe artillery will fail out of training if they cant do it and be recycled to a different MOS. and the people that want those MOSs probably dont need calculators anyway.
  2. Do you have any pictures? im not sure how flat bar would provide any structural support which is why i was thinking channel or angle. I had not thought about aluminum, which would surely reduce the added weight. thank you for the reply.
  3. my main slide is 12'6" and is sagging in the middle, on the top, this has created a water leak, when it is stored, the slide is in and there is no problem, but when we are using it and the slide is out, if it rains, it leaks because the seal does not touch the top of the slide in the middle. I use a metal bar that is for the bed of a pickup truck with a ratchet mechanism to push the slide back up. that works fine, but i want to fix it so i dont have to do that every time. i am thinking of taking all the trim off, putting a piece of steel channel in it, drilling and riveting the whole length of the slide and then replacing the trim. is this the best way to fix it? does anyone have any other ideas?
  4. so when you get to your destination, do you have to unbolt the end to take it down? if so, do you use wingnuts to make it easy?
  5. So, i got a 2007 hurricane on a ford chassis, the other day, coming home in the pouring rain, the windshield wipers got stuck on the outside, i turned them off and then back on and it moved but stayed stuck to the outside. i turned it off again and drove into a parking lot to get lunch, i was close to home and figured i would check it out when i got home. since it was raining so hard, i figured the water on the windshield would provide the lubricant needed to allow them to move back to center, i turned them back on after a bit and forgot that i turned them on. i got out and grabbed lunch, when i got back in, the smell of burning plastic was ridiculous. so i turned it off and got home, then after it all aired out the smell was gone, I have not torn the dash out yet, but i am assuming the wiper motor died and the continued electrical current with a bad motor probably started to fry the wires in the dash. how much of this will need replacing? motor obviously and if i can find the wires that got hot, ill change out connectors, but is there anything else?
  6. I work for the VA and i would schedule you in a heart beat. I put in colonoscopy consults in for vets all the time up to their mid 80s. more often than not, they dont want them after that, but I would schedule it if they wanted.
  7. Exactly, I am a medical professional and I own a metal fabrication/welding shop. I built my own shop and am restoring a 1956 ford truck. I hunt, fish, camp, travel and would be considered "a mans man" by many, but I also cook very well and wear scrubs while caring for the sick and elderly. every person is different. most of the physicians i work with have wood shops, or work on cars, or hunt and fish and most of them have RVs. I think some of it is geographical as well. many of the people i work with came out here after med school because we have the mountains for skiing and hiking and fishing, and we live right next to lake tahoe for water sports.
  8. nope, didnt change anything. i was going to, but i forgot, so i thought i would just try it.
  9. I didnt pay for roaming, i just took the dish with me and figured i would see what happened. I went to a low capacity area and had no issues at all. in fact i ran speeds around 160 the whole time.
  10. I was going to say 500 would be your best shot. honestly, take out the few good parts, scrap the whole thing and sell those parts. the stove might be a couple hundred, some of the lighting might be a few dollars here and there. but it aint worth much.
  11. I mean, that's a pretty big generalization. I have known plenty of blue and white collar people throughout my life that are RVers, I am a medical professional and I am on my 3rd RV, I work with multiple surgeons and nurses who travel all over in RVs. I also know construction workers, loggers, and many others in RVs. i think it depends on what activities they like outside of work, not what they do for work.
  12. I LOVE my starlink. i have gotten better speed in the middle of the mountains while lakeside camping than i do at my house. last time we went out with family, we stayed for over a week. 10 campers used my connection everyone could stream music, videos, netflix and I was able to do all the homework i had. its awesome.
  13. that is the location and also the cause of the leak. but... how to fix it is question.
