  1. nana25k: I think La Mesa has a policy to not sell used RVs more than 10 years old. They will take such an RV in trade-in, but they pass it on to another reseller to sell.
  2. I just carry a spare hose and replace when the main one breaks. I have had RhinoFlex hoses last 6 months and others last multiple years. I actually have more than one spare sewer hose, since I have had to run up to about 40' for a sewer connection. I also carry lots of fresh water hose and electric cord.
  3. The tech that replaced our cooling unit did it in the RV and it was a 12 cuft unit. He did pull it out, but it was inside on cardboard he put on the floor.
  4. The residential fridge also has to fit the hole reasonably well. That might make it more difficult and more expensive. Each case is unique. Replacement cooling units come in three versions: 1) new from Dometic; 2) refurbished Dometic; 3) Amish made replacement. We know people who love their Amish cooling units and others will not buy anything except a new Dometic one.
  5. http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=113652 will tell you all that is known, plus lots of speculation, angst, etc.
  6. Where did you get Avast from? I suspect it was not an approved location or an approved location was compromised. http://www.avast.com/index is the approved location.
  7. We think of you every time we pass the roadside rest east of Astoria.
  8. 90s this week here in Kennewick, WA (Tri-Cities), Looking at the Puget Sound area forecast (Olympia), it is supposed to be in the mid-80s and into the 90s the next few days west of the Cascades.
  9. The mosquito bite look is probably because you squeezed the tick and it let loose whatever it could into the wound. That is why you have to use tweezers as close to the skin as possible. Keep the spot clean and use some kind of bacteria cream on it to control infections. Hopefully the tick head did not come off, that takes longer for the body to get rid of, much like a sliver. I have pulled ticks from dogs using my bare fingers since I did not know any better, and the dogs were fine. I haven't, yet, pulled one off a person.
  10. http://www.cdc.gov/ticks/removing_a_tick.html and then save the tick in plastic, just in case any followup is needed, like checking it for diseases.
  11. A friend is having me send you his email address, jr285132003@yahoo.com , about air bag leveling. He is having trouble logging on and I know it will be fixed just as I send you this PM.

  12. We have no shortage of people we hang around with. Mostly the Boomers, but we definitely hang out with members of the various Classes and just had dinner with some 2006'ers we know well.
  13. Since there was no "Class of 2003" we have always felt Class-less.
  14. I see you are in Portland, we will be at the Keizer Elks lodge starting today through the weekend, which is not far away. Wish I would have realized you were in Eugene since we have been sitting here getting repairs done. Phone 206-949-0762 (Diane normally answers).

  15. We are paying $59.99 for 5GB of usage from Verizon. Some new plans are $35 for 3GB or $50 for 5GB. Some phones can be wifi hotspots for $20 extra a month with a 2GB limit. (We have an HTC Thunderbolt phone that has a free wifi hotspot until May 15th, then we get to pay more.)
