We run between 55-63 almost all the time. The fuel savings are great and we are always early. No need for the Feds to get involed at all. If you want to save money, slow down. If you want to spend more to get where you are going, go faster. There is NO fuel shortage to worry about. Just a group...

Not sure this will help anything. The stratigic reserve is for military use in a time of war. As to the exports from Alaska, I am under the impression that we export about 30% of what we produce up there. Most goes to Japan. It is oil that we are not allowed to burn in the US do to it's high...

Not sure about the tornado part, does not look like any tornado that I have ever seen. I have seen 5 to date. One just across the street from our house when I was a kid. One formed right over our place during the April outbrake in '74. That one hit an ice rink in Windsor, Canada. It brought the...

Thank You Mr. Ratwell71, not only was I born with that right, I earned it. Layoutshooter

Thanks Dave, you are right. It is being a man. I spent 10 years on a couple of volunteer fire and ambulance companies. There were men and women there who I often put my life in there hands and there's in mine. Good hard working people. I bet they "cling" to thier religion and guns too. I wish I...

Thanks, I know that sometimes I can pizz people off with my views, but I earned them the hard way. Layoutshooter

Running my APU is the only way to keep cool that I know of. And it is only so so. Layoutshooter

I want our government to follow our constitution. I ALWAYS vote on issues, not party. I have NEVER voted for a person that I wanted to be president and will not this time. I will vote for the least rotten of the bunch. None of them are qualified. I don't like socialists. They are all socialists...

It will also cut the noise factor and save hours on the APU. These are all reasons I am looking at these things. What about thier engine block heaters, anyone in here have one? If so, how do you like it? Layoutshooter

HazMat routing is a sore spot with us as well. We have had many problems with it. We brought it up with Jason at the FedEx breakfast. He says that they are working on the purchase of a new system. He said that it go a long way to fixing the problem. They are waiting on permisission to buy it...

Great, I think I will have to looking one. I have a six battery system. 2 deep cycle and 4 starters. The sleeper batteries should run one most of the night. My APU will start on it's own if the batteries get too low. Layoutshooter

RatWell, we elect people to represent us. We even elect people to elect the president for us. When I went to school we were taught that we were a representitive republic. We elect those who are to represent us in a democratic election. They now teach that we are a democracy. The two systems are...

The United States has never been nor will it ever be a democrocy. We are a democraticly elected republic. Layoutshooter

Thanks, Linda and Dave, that is what I was looking for. We might put one in. It would save running the APU just for heat. Layoutshooter

Hey Ratwell, welcome to the crowd!!! We welcome new faces. And by the way, my wife and I are White Glove and we will talk to anyone. Not everyone are snobs. As to the oil problem, cut taxes, let industry work and we will be fine. We are only about 20 years away from what should be the end of the...

Thanks for the help. I always know that I can count on people here to help me learn. Anyone with a big sleeper have one? From what was said here I think it would work fine. Layoutshooter

China has forced abortion and sterilasation. They have also killed untold numbers of thier citizens. Russia killed 25 million during the '60's and 70's. Hitler killed over 12 million. Over a million were killed in Cambodia. All this was done in the name of socialism. A leader or leaders all...

There is a plant being built in NE PA that will be truning waste coal into gas. Another plant being built in MT. I think they will be producing diesel. There are already piplines in that area. Coal can make a huge dent in our oil needs. For now at least. We need something new. No matter what we...

What do ESPAR units cost? How much is installation? How well do they really work in a 96" sleeper? Who has one in a large sleeper? I am looking for reall world reports. Thanks Layoutshooter

Bio-Fuel is running up the price of food all over the world, and it will get worse. There is not enough land to grow fuel and food. There is also no easy answer to the problem. Diesel from coal would be a good stop-gap but we need all new thinking. Hard to do in a country that discourges new...
