along with a NO SLEEPOVER GESTS for the kids also!


So... is there a story behind this sign? lol


Actually there is...
my first shakedown trip, (with my mom!) my two kids (F11yo, M7yo) and the first night my mom was supposed to sleep in one of the rear beds, DD on the other, and my kid and me in the sofa... so far so good... but my DD was so exited that without knowing to me... she invited a little "friend" for a sleepover, so both rear beds are now occupied. my DS is sound sleep in the sofa and my mom (Hoooooo the mothers so self sacrificing!) grabs the three back cushions from the sofa... turns the co-pilot seat backwards, the rocking chair faces forward and the cushions in between...voila, a bed!, with her neck all twisted (in weird 90 deg angles)... and legs short of upsidedown... hips a little higger than the rest of the body, she felt asleep as a baby!!!!!!!!!!

I was sooooooo ashamed!


the return trip bew (melted the plastic part, not actually "fused, -blew") the dash fuse.... also controllet the signal to the alt, and batery isolator........................ a VERY long story short.... bridged both batery banks and run all lights and systems with the genset untill arriving....... WHAT A TRIP!!!!!!!!


I I HAVE A DATE WITH ETERNITY, AND I DON´T WANT TO BE LATE!

Saw this information on another forum but thought it a VERY GOOD idea!
RE: Checking the Polarity of a CG Power Pedestal.

I use the Progressive Industries 30 amp EMS, but still check with this before plugging in. Anything can fail. http://bellsouthpwp2.net/l/i/liles753677/Front.jpg http://bellsouthpwp2.net/l/i/liles753677/Back.jpg

I made a set of jumper cables from #2 welding cable long enough to get a jump start from the trailer when hooked up. We used them a few weeks ago.

Another thing we did recently is to add a gas cutoff valve to the line feeding the range. It is under the top and easily accessible when needed. The reason is that sometimes we have a grandchild along who likes to turn knobs.

OK, the yellow thing checks your 120 volt plugs for the right polarity and more, and the black thing is the plug in adapter from 120 to whatever the blade set is for.
