Hello campers,

VIDEO: How to Install a Vent Cover

We will be building a how to page and if you are needing something nowlet me and we will try to get it to you.

We are going to add another feature to help you in your RV repairs. Ifyou have not noticed we have an "askthe tech" question on our frontpage and we do get about 10 to 15 questions a day. We sit down with ourservice techs and try to walk you through your repair or problem. Weare we now going to start doing videos to better show you. This willgive you an idea what we will be showing you.

Here are some websites I found that I liked.

If you have some good websites, e-mailthem to me.

Some pretty good info. My 83 year old aunt sent this to me.

DID YOU KNOW?

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringythings" off of it. That's how the primates do it. Take your bananasapart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected atthe stem, they ripen faster.

Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay freshmuch longer and not mold!

Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.
Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull thegrease away from the meat while cooking.

Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic,and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, setheat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy.No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants withcayenne pepper.The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't comenear it.

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glovebox of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Worksbetter than a cloth!

Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2" withApple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well.You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home," can't digestit so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains,but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

And on the funny side…

An old country farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully.From morning till night she was always complaining about something. Theonly time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with his oldmule. He tried to plow a lot. One day, when he was out plowing, his wifebrought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule into the shade,sat down on a stump, and began to eat his lunch. Immediately, his wifebegan nagging him again. Complain, nag, complain, nag - it just wenton and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet,caught her smack in the back of the head.Killed her dead on the spot.

At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed something ratherodd.. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listenfor a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when a man mournerapproached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head indisagreement.

This was so consistent, the minister decided to ask the old farmer aboutit. So after the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer, and askedhim why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shookhishead and disagreed with all the men.

The old farmer said, 'Well, the women would come up and say somethingabout how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nodmyhead in agreement.

'And what about the men?' the minister asked. 'They wanted toknow if the mule was for sale.'

Why Men Wear Earrings....

A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearingan earring. The man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservativefellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense" Theman walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings." "Don'tmake such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies sheepishly.His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prodshim to ask, "So, how long have you been wearing one?" "Eversince my wife found it in my truck."

Happy Camping,
