NO!Please.. if you haven't listed your bike year etc under your site nickname, please do. So many ask and answer questions without showing what bike, yea,r generation etc that they have. You then have to go to their profile to see what bike they are talking about.Rant off... thanks.

You mean like these? We saw them 1 block off main street yesterday evening in Ouray.All of it is just beautiful if you find yourself in Ouray try Riverside Inn and Cabins nice place to stay and they rent jeeps which I highly recommend. If Shelly is still working there tell her I said HI.http://www.ourayriversideinn.com
oh yeah watch out for the mule deer in the evenings they roam all over town and lay in peoples yards and there very tame. Watched a fawn nursing on the sidewalk.

Tom I understand completely , I hope Deb gets well soon. There will be other times I figure I have 1 or 2 good years left.You are dead on Mike. I sure wish we were still there but you know the circumstances. Debs doing better but still in bad shape. -
The Million dollar hwy is a great ride. I am in Silverton now and have ridden between Silverton and Ouray CO a couple of times. In some areas 1 foot outside of the paint line there is a shier drop with no guard rails if you screw up your gone. The good news is if you do screw up you will be falling to your death into some of the most beautiful canyons you have ever seen. If you have trouble walking up to the edge of a cliff you may not want to ride it but if you don't mind riding on the edge it is an awesome ride. I have some pictures of some of the less dangerous areas and a few from yesterdays ride on the alpine loop.

It's not what they put in it it's what they took out. Sulfur is a lubricant and diesel now has almost no sulfur.Just a heads up for anyone with a diesel engine...It seems what the gov. did to our gasoline, they are doing to our diesel fuel.
My injector pump on the 230 Massey freguson started leaking.
I took it off and went to Mountaineer Diesel in St Albans WV.
Can you guess what was the first words out of his mouth were?
You got it... they are putting things in the fuel that are literally eating the inside of the diesel pumps out.... same as what ethanol is doing to all of our carbs...
Who is making these decisions anyway?
Going to cost me +600 for a rebuild and I'm seeing RED!

Pics of the million dollar hwy aka Colorado 550 from today's ride. This road is nothing short of spectacular.

I'm in Silverton now and rode 550 today and it is an awesome ride.The Million Dollar Highway (Rt 550) connecting Montrose and Durango, CO is an interesting ride - shear drops with no guard rails. I'm told that it freaks some people out. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even on the Venture beast.Check out the following picture I pulled of the internet, as I was too preoccupied to take my own pictures:

There are a lot of nice places to see in NM Eagle nest is one of my favorites ,Red river ,angel fire ,taos. If you are going to be in Los Alamos take hwy4 to Jemez springs it will t into 550 go left and you will come out at Bernalillo (north end of Albuquerque)
photo 1 is between Los Alamos and Jemez springs photo 2 is Eagle nest nm.

Yammer just calm down take a deep breath and say ohm ohm ohm ohm ohm. Good things come to those who wait. When the snow starts flying they will be more abundant and cheaper. Now about the yard sale I see signs that you may be getting a grasp on reality.

The wing isn't like his first gens it runs .It would be a Goldwing Trike I got a pic of it. It's in his favorite color too. Actually I think it's different as far as blues go. He did look good on it too.Dan don't get upset at least the wing is like the 1st gens.

As the others said it clearly states 2 light bars. Don't waste your time with pay pal just call your cc company and dispute the charge. You will get your money back or your other light bar. I would wait to leave the seller feedback until the situation is resolved. good luck.

I carry a string type plug kit and a slime compressor you can get them at wally world for about $25 for all of it.

Calm down there big boy. I was just pointing out a problem that could occur with aux heat in freezing weather. If the unit stays in FL it doesn't need a heater at all.This is true, but since he mentioned he will primarily be using the trailer in the Ft Myers Florida area, I assumed that it will be coolish in the winter, but not sub-freezing for weeks on end.
Normally, in the lower lattitudes of the USA, enclosed holding tanks wont freeze within a 2-4 day cold snap, and you can of course install heat tape and insulation on the exposed and vulnerable fittings such as the waste gates. And if the holding tanks are emptied fully for storage, then the chance of freeze damage is practically nill. Another option is to provide venting, with or without a fan, to the holding tank area, so that some heated air is circulated into that area during really harsh weather. You could even run the RV furnace occasionally in fan mode or heat mode, to accomplish the same thing.
If the OP had mentioned that he would be 'boondocking' in Montana all winter, my advise would have been different.
Keep in mind that my suggestions were ways to save money on propane and battery replacement, but someone using an RV for full time winter use in the northern climates will need to do more than just hang a catalytic heater on the wall.

My best suggestion for picking a tt is to spend some time in the one you think you want. Just sit in it for an hour or two and think about how you would fix meals. Is there enough counter space? Will the refrigerator hold what you want it to? Is the seating comfortable because you will need to sit on it all day some days. Does it have electrical outlets for added appliances, your computer ect? Stand in the shower and see if it is big enough for you. Can you and your wife move around without stepping on each other? Lay on the bed and see how it feels. Is there room for your clothes and your dirty clothes. Just sit for a while and think about what it will be like to live in it. You can look at pictures and spec sheets all you want but you wont know until you spend some time in it.

The catalytic heater is a good backup but it does not heat the underbelly of the unit like the fan forced furnace. In below freezing weather you risk freezing you holding tanks and plumbing.If you plan on using it at all during cooler weather, get one with enclosed holding tanks, double pane windows, higher R value if you can find it, and then add a catalytic propane heater.The home style RV furnace that is installed by the factory is inherently very safe and easy to operate, but it is a HUGE propane waster. They can empty the propane tanks in a couple of cool weekends, and kill your coach battery in a week or less if you dont have shore power.
The catalytic heaters use ZERO electricity, and are about 99% efficient. They produce ZERO toxic emissions, other than water vapor, but you DO have to open a vent or window slightly to allow fresh oxygen in the camper.
Many RV furnaces fail after 5 or 10 years due to the logic board going bad, and new ones can be pricey or even impossible to get. That means a new furnace.
If you add a catalytic heater, such as the Olympian models, they will sip small spoonfuls of propane and last for at least a decade with almost no maintenance and still work even if your batteries have died. An RV furnace will NOT work at all if you have no AC or DC power.
My Olympian Wave 6 is twelve years old and still works fine. If nothing else, its a good backup heat source for the furnace when it eventually fails. They all do. Its only a matter of time. You wont get any advance warning when that RV furnace dies, but you will wake up at 3:00 AM when its 15 degrees outside and 40 degrees inside, and its a Sunday morning, the next day is a holiday Monday, and the nearest RV dealer is 150 miles away. Been there, done that.
I also added a 64 watt roof mounted solar panel that keeps the coach batteries topped up even if you lose shore power for an exended amount of time. Of course, if your RV is parked indoors (or under a cover or awning) then a roof panel wont keep the batteries charged, so either hook up to shore power, or remove the batteries and take them home with you and hook them up to a maintainer, or they will be dead in a few months.
There are many circuits in the typical RV that continue to draw small amounts of power even with everything shut off.
A friend once told me that an RV is wonderful at meeting your needs, but you have to meet its needs first.
Let us know what you end up with.
