    FYI PACT Act

    I know there was some discussion about the PACT Act in another post. I went online last August and applied for partial disability. The VA is extremely slow and has sent me at least three letter officially informing me of how "slow" they are and that my application was still pending. Now they...

    FYI Full Timing Adventure Ending

    We began our FTing in 2013. We traveled between May and October then always spent our winters in Florida. Our goal was to explore every State and possibly even make the run up to Alaska. We ended up barely getting to 30 different States. What we found was that there were places so majestic...

    Tip Gas Savings - Shell

    A couple months ago I switched from diesel to gas. We are transitioning from full timing to getting back into a sticknbrick. As such I began looking for more ways to save money on my gasoline purchases. I like using Shell gas in my Harley, so I concentrated there. I found that if I use the...

    FYI Heartland Stepped Up

    Since purchasing a new 44' fiver from Heartland approximately 20 months ago I have repaired numerous items. Four of the biggest were (1) ice maker water lines installed wrong (2) propane line feeding stove installed wrong & leaking (3) TV surround speakers wired wrong (4) microwave/convection...

    Alert Getting To Florida Early

    Tropical Storm #9, which should be getting named a hurricane in less than 3 days, could end up chasing us back out of Florida. We planned our 2022 travels so we could be down here on our leased lot from September through next May. Now at least two of the models have it as a cat-2 coming...

    Tip Driving Lesson

    Really didn't know where to post this, but I thought it was worth sharing. Maybe it will make someone stop and reconsider their driving habits a little. Bear with me..... A couple days ago we left a campsite up in Santa Rosa NM heading down to Las Cruces, via US-54. For anyone not familiar...

    Tip Steps To Increase My Diesel MPG

    I already mentioned in another post a camper here that transports new RVs out of norther Indiana. He has a few years under his belt and just "updated" his work truck because his old Ford was closing in on 600,000 miles and he was getting worried. His new truck is a 2019 F350 with only 98,000...

    Tip Introduction, but after I'm set up PLEASE!

    This happens to us two or three times a year in our travels, but this season it happened on our first stop! Pulled into a site yesterday around 3pm. Did a quick walk-around and began getting everything hooked up. Just a one-night stop so it was only electric, water, and sewer. Just as I...

    Tip Anderson Water Valve - What I Didn't Know

    A few days ago I decided to dump my fresh water tank and sterilize the whole system with a little bleach. Of course during this process I switched my Anderson valve from "city fixture" to "fresh fill" then back again after refilling the tank. So I run the bleach mixture through all the lines...

    Diesel Prices Are Going Up Really Fast

    We finally rough sketched our 2022 travel plans. We will be heading out of Florida in a couple of weeks. Yesterday we had to drive the F350 down to Ft. Myers (170 miles round trip). I noticed that diesel prices were about .15 higher down there so as we drove back I kept watching stations...

    Question Transition From RV to Park Model?

    This will be our 3rd winter in the same CG in Florida. Between last spring and now there have been four RV couples we know that have sold their RVs and purchased park models here. Three of the couples were retired part time RVers and one couple were full time traveling RVers. Just wondering...

    Question Camping On Military Property

    My VA Healthcare card is enroute. Yesterday I was with a buddy at the local Legion here in Florida and he said his believes that by having a VA Healthcare card you can camp at military sites just like military retirees. True/false? Or does it depend on if you are getting a certain percentage...

    Car Play Failures

    This year I have been using mapping apps on my I-phone and running them through CarPlay on the F350 8" info screen. It has worked great. For some reason last Saturday and Sunday the mapping mistaking showed us about .5 mile off the interstate and started guidance to get back on, even though we...

    I-65 Southbound Last Friday

    So we were delayed making our final run for the season south. One leg of our migration was from just north of Clarksville to Dothan this last Saturday. We have never experienced such heavy traffic on I-65 and we are not sure why. It started building south of Nashville and not long after...

    Alert Caution When Fueling At Truck Stops

    Over the years I'm not sure how many truck lanes we have fueled in. Once and awhile the DW goes into the station while I am fueling. I always try to remind her to walk in front of all the commercial rigs and stay 15' to 20' out in front of them so they can see her. At one of our fuel stops...

    Here We Go With Higher Diesel Prices

    About a week ago I got on the Open Roads app (TSD card) and found my diesel stops for this week. Yesterday I double checked them and on the average they all went up almost .50 per gallon! It will only be another $70 or so out of pocket this week but I suspect it will keep going up.

    Question Word Processing

    Every once and awhile I have the need to write up a document of some type or make some written notes. A lifetime ago my desktop or even my laptop had some type of word processing program. Now, except maybe for the first year, it seems there are fees for maintaining such a program. Anyone know...

    Alert Furrion Stove Top Leaking Propane

    We had an odd smell in the kitchen area for over a week, or since the last leg of a trip out west. It wasn't a sewer smell or really a musty smell, just something in between. I had posted about it on a Heartland forum and a member there suggested it could be a propane leak from my Furrion...

    FYI Kellogg RV Park (Iowa)

    This is a little park right on I-80. It sits behind a gas station that has a small kitchen. They have pretty good burgers there. We have used this place over the years just as an overnight stop. The sites are gravel and very close together but the price was under $30 with the Good Sams...
