My first teardrop, a Little Guy, only lasted five years. Of course I was on the road seven months of the year with it.

Saw a post on a Camping group I’m in on Facebook from someone camping at Hunting Island State Park on the SC coast. Left their bocce set out side and the raccoons carried off some of the balls.

My wife and were sitting at a picnic table one evening when a raccoon jumped on the table in front of us and scurried off with a bag of marshmallows.

Personally I like "Becuase she's a death trap, Sir!"
I think that Joss got a little crazy - but this show was, and remains, the best show on television in my book. Though, I'm not sure I'm excited about the new animated series. The 'kickoff' campaign was pretty cool though.
That is kind of wehre we started - this was in 2011 and we were going back and forth on buying or building. I then saw a campinn and the rest is history. I stopped tracking lil' guy - what happened to it? I know they made T@B and T@G for a big - but then lost the license and it went to nu-camp? I honeslty think that was the right move. Nu-camp has developed a solid reputation, and is still one of the highest 'owner retention' rates in the industry. Meaning owners don't sell them, and if they do are likely to buy another one. I do like their Truma system - I'm traind on that product line, and have to say - its slick. Especially now that they use propane, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Really efficient heat!
We were at a florida park - near lakeland - Lake Kissimmee? I went face to face with a trash panda there - and - those things are frekin' fearless!

Twenty years ago we had 4-5 raccoons in our laundry room. We had a pet door for the cats and they came through it. Sat & watched them try every dryer sheet in the box and then tear up a set of mini blinds.,After they went outside i threw a basketball at them thinking it would scare them away. Nope, they played with it, We got our first Corgi not long after that & haven’t seen one since.
We had the exact scenario play out. Had a cat door to the garage and another going from there into the house. Thought I was being clever with managing the cats until one evening when I caught my cat peeking through the cat door at something. Lemme tell ya, they do NOT back down when cornered! I had to coax them back outside with a trail of cat food.

I agree completely. I don’t watch a lot of TV but whenever the Mrs puts it on I am compelled to stop whatever it is I’m doing and watch. Joss (and the cast & crew) got screwed by the TV execs. Wait & See Mode on the animated series.

Totally agree -- I honestly don't know why. I mean, they showed the series out of order for pete's sake! The only thing I can say is the theatrical movie was brutally true to the heart of the story. No sacred cows.
Its been a year or two since I watched the series -- I may need to kick off a marathon
I found out something interested, the movie Twister --- apparently Joss was brought in to rework the script -- he never got a credit for it though.
I'm thinking the movie "The Great Outdoors" with John Candy captures these little a@#$holes perfectly.

The key for the boondockers and shoulder-seaon campers where a freeze might happen is to get a self warming lithium model. Bad things happen when the sun comes up and solar panels charge a frozen bat-tree, iirc.
Maybe Cary can update on current best of the market choices for OEM replacements, if Precision 110 is no longer offered at The Nest.

The penny was discontinued due to inflation. I’m surprised how fast they went out of circulation.I thought it would have been more of the discontinued Penny ?

It might reach 60F here today. I started my Class A diesel pusher yesterday. It hasn’t left the RVport in three years. Maybe I’ll license it and take it on the road somewhere. Next winter I’m thinking of leaving the ice age behind.
Let me know when you're ready to look into the furnace problem! Be sure you plan ahead, these big guys don't like to be ignored though I do know you use yours. Fuel is especially a problem...but as a former truck driver, I'm sure you know that.
Its been cool here too. A lot more so than previous years. I think this is just the usual spring time we all desire...we're not going from freezing to "I need a bigger AC" overnight.
Either way, my Americano went down smooth this morning. After updating my personal web site, its off to the races.
I'm getting a lot of calls about plumbing - people de-winterizing to find that there are leaks. Most of them seem to be related to the crazy thing Elkhart loves to do, use braided flexable tubing for fresh water which use a 'barbed fitting', then 'adapting' them to pex by clamping tightly. This is a recipe for disaster. Pex fittings are smaller.
I"m torn between "yeah!" and "you idiots!" -- Yeah because this is a big money maker, Its easily a $700 service call just trim back the braided fitting and put on a new clamp in a few places. Its not a fix, its just redoing what they did that caused the problem. There is no 'fix' yet except to use another solution that is also designed to fail. They needed to use pex from end-to-end and call it a day. Or, use braided...don't care, take your pick. The only place you must use braided is on the water pump.
