    Update Leaving The Nest

    AJ The process was to use blue paper shop towels. One of those to apply the XXX Paste Wax to the small area. Put a fresh blue paper shop towel onto that area with the buffer resting on top. Work that in with the combination of the paper towel and buffer. When it starts to look good remove...

    Update Leaving The Nest

    So on the road at last. First night in the town park at Jewell, Iowa, north of Des Moines about 4 miles west of I35. Nice park, $21 got me power but the water is off for the season. Great wifi. Good layout next to a lake and about 10 other folks here. I think the park is 150+ spaces and with...

    Snudley There is a posting on the forum where someone installed something similar to LoJack, basically a GPS tracker that can be activated.

    Update Leaving The Nest

    So after my self imposed 11 month wait I am in Necedah picking up my 560. Well worth the wait from my original trip and order back in October of 2011. Lots of changes at the factory since then. New addition in the back of the original building allows much more space for deliveries. Got...

    Another Stolen Camp-inn!

    Re writing this one. It looks like it might work since it is basically a cover for the lug nuts if they are exposed on the wheel rim. With the center hubcap on the CI not sure if it would work very well.

    Frank Here's my contribution to a couple of sites that answered many questions I had along similar lines. Life on the Road - www.rv-dreams.com Howard and Linda Payne's website. While they live fulltime on the road in a large trailer lots of their ideas and thoughts are applicable. They...

    Hey Jenn I saw the Cobb on the shelf at an REI store last weekend. Also has been spotted about 6 months ago at a Camping World. There is also a local dealer map on the Cobb web page. Worst case try Amazon. What would be do without Google search :).....

    Any computer people here??

    Mike I switched for the same reason. Back in '82-83 I was started selling the first IBM PC and also the Apple Lisa. I got hooked on Mac's for their simplicity. Later switched to all PC's for a long time since that was the only thing that ran some retail business software that we used. I...

    Any computer people here??

    Dave Good thing that you can get a pc worked on everywhere since they seem to breakdown and have more problems than Mac's. Simple supply and demand issue. More of anything needed the more sources to supply the need. Said with a big smile on my face ;) From an iPhone, iPad, Mac Book Pro...

    Where to find Woody Wax?

    Thanks. That helps. Buy one of each, W Wax and XXX and I should be good. May just do it right after pickup before I get on the road.

    Where to find Woody Wax?

    Many marine stores have Woody's like West Marine. For those that have used XXX Woody Wax how much wax does it take to do the trailer? I'm getting close to delivery and want to take some with me and either do it myself before I leave the factory or find someone over in Tomah.

    Tech on the Road Maxing connections for cell/wifi

    Jenn - build is just about done. Charge with solar or my small Honda generator. Sat phone is a good idea but NOT that desperate. Just trying to max out tx/rx so that I can not drive back as often to civilization. There is a phrase that I have seen used by full time big rig RVer's...

    Tech on the Road Maxing connections for cell/wifi

    Since I am about a month away from delivery wanted to start a new topic and solicit feedback. I'd like to get into remote areas where cell/wifi reception is challenging. Need to stay connected to work so I can combine my remote work situation by staying online. So am interested in what...

    Lug Nuts

    So the CI doesn't come with a lug nut wrench and nothing is listed in the manual on the nut sizes. I could buy a 4 way and hope one of them is correct or one of the more compact telescoping models. But what is the size of the nut? And I have already heard all of the nut jokes :)

    Security - keeping your TD (and other stuff) safe

    So a quick security story from me. Previous life I was a police officer while in college. Get a call to go to a home that has been broken into. Walking up to the front door I see that the front picture window has been totally destroyed and there is what appears to be blood on the remainder of...

    new to site. trying to decide on teardrop.

    Fpoole, interesting item. Would probably work well if you were hooked to city water. But it has a curious warranty. Warranty Information The Eccotemp L5 Portable Tankless Water Heater is backed by a one-year limited warranty on parts, valid while the unit remains at its original point of...
