    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    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

    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.

    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.

    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    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...

    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    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...

    Don't worry, we will be paying that much for fuel here someday too. How do you think they get "FREE" health care? They do a good job on the roads but I don't think they have as much traffice as we do. Remember one thing, we build our roads on the lowest bid. Layoutshooter

    Inverter or Generator?

    I don't need to charge my batteries when I am running, my engine alternator does that. The RV solar pannels work good to keep batteries topped off when they are not being used and your engines is not running. What we need to do is cover the roof of the trucks in solar panels to develope a lot...

    Beware in Dallas

    We are not allowed dogs. We do have some kitchen knives and a very large Mag-Lite. I think I will get some bug spray as well. The pepper spray is not legal in Canada or California or many other places. Layoutshooter

    Beware in Dallas

    Best thing to do is get a run and not sit there. There is no need to carry a weapon in Canada. They have VERY strict gun control laws that keep the guns out of criminals hands. YEA RIGHT!!! Just like it will here. Layoutshooter
