I'm not sure of the cost - you can call Lazy Daze
for that and ask them to add it. We use it when
caravaning with others and you need it if you join the Lazy
Daze Caravan Club. But its heaviest use comes when
traffic slows or stops and we can listen to the truckers
tell us what is wrong. For us, the price would be
worth it.

Gus,<br><br>I forgot the LD channel. Was it 32? How many brain cells die each
day beyond fifty???<br><br>Karen

Sounds like the intake sediment taste canister
and the undersink NaturePure are the way to
go.<br><br>Does anyone know if Lazy Daze will do the installation
if you ship out a filter?<br><br>Bonnie<br>26.5

The CB did come as standard on our 99 Twin/King.
And we have found it to be an invaluable tool. When
we run into a traffic backup, usually just listening
to the truckers will tell you what the holdup is,
how long it will take and a way around it.

What exactly is the LD Caravan Club and what do they do?  I think Ed said
something about being a memmber during the ordering process, but he did not
elaborate on it.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>bb

Info for all that may not have seen.<br><br>Motor
Home magazine previewed the Delorme AAA Map 'n' Go Ver

almost ignored the article but read on and found that V7
includes all the Walmart, Sam's Club, and Flying J
facilities that allow overnight parking.<br><br>List price
is $29.95 + $5 S&H from Delorme. Amazon is 2 cents
more and does not yet stock this version.<br><br>I've

You will receive details on the Caravan Club when
you pick up your rig, if you have ordered a new one.
It is for first-time owners only; concern over that
issue was the genesis of this club.<br><br>Happy

"Too bad someone doesn't make gas grills that
have long life burners."<br><br>Umm, Mike...Weber
does! The burner design and on my $60 portable grill is
the same as on my home model - which in 10 yrs of
year-round use has burners that perform and look like
new.<br><br>Partly it is the burner design and materials, but mostly
it is the design of the grill, which uses indirect
heating exclusively - protecting the burners from direct
contact with the drippings. Although the design or the
portable is different, the philosophy was the
same.<br><br>In regards the soaked wood chip method someone
mentioned using a foil pan on the grill, I find this works
well at home, but we need ALL the grill space on the
portable. We are usually cooking meat, veggies, and
potatoes for four, and real estate is at a premium. Taste
is still excellent, without the flavor from
wood.<br><br>Steve

"I'm curious as to how much it costs and whether
people consider it worth it."<br><br>Our '83 has one,
factory installed - so I don't know curent prices. We use
it always when caravanning for communicating with
our companions, or when we get close to a rendezvous
with them. Travelling by ourselves, it has always
remained off.<br><br>Steve

I realized I had never posted a pic I took
several years ago of this installation. It doesn't get
any easier than this for a high-quality
filter.<br><br>Check 'PHOTOS' under 'Steve's '83 22' front lounge, pic

"Mike O You mentioned a few weeks ago that if
anyone were interested, you might post photos of the
Nature Pure system and how it gets installed.<br>Well,
now we are interested. Any chance of your doing this?
We are about to order one. Thanks, Mary and
Lee"<br><br>Sorry for the delay - I've been off the net for awhile
- but now catching up - YES I will take a few pics
and post them in the next week or so - I will post a
msg on the board as soon as they are on the photo
section.<br>MikeO

I'll post pics soon - if you have any questions you can email me - the hardest
part is getting the courage to drill the hole in your counter top!<br>MikeO

Dish water is less risky because you use soap,
rinse and dry the dishes - water "bugs" need constant
moisture to remain alive. Also, a few drops of
contaminated water are less risky than a glass full... relax -
this really isn't worthy of so much �^;�y. Your Nature
Pure is a step in the right direction.<br>MikeO

Best prices so far:<br>sediment filter - Lowes or Home Depot<br>Nature Pure -

Hi Folks ---<br><br>The message board has been
quiet all day, which is most unusual, so I'm mainly
posting this message just to make sure Yahoo is still
working.<br><br>Probably all you folks who already have your LDs are
wisely out enjoying them!<br><br>Wistfully
yours,<br>Barbara<br>26.5 MB in January 2002

YO! Barbara,<br>   You're loud and clear....I was out enjoying.. though not in
my Lazy Daze....soon though, 26.5MB<br>Sept. 26....whew!<br><br>Bonnie

Looking for an address to order T-fall cookware thats stackable with detachable
handles. Thanks for your response

Steve,<br><br>I would agree that, in my
experience, the PUR water filters are excellent. <br><br>I
carry their undercounter PUR "Plus" model to fill my
LD's water tank at home and on the road. I modified
the input tubing to fit onto a standard water hose
thread. So far, after the initial chlorine treatment of
the fresh water tank, I haven't noticed any problems
at all with the water. Standing water in the toilet
usually tells the tale if there's stuff growing in the
fresh water supply tank... <br><br>For
drinking/cooking, I also have the PUR "Ultimate" mounted to the
kitchen sink faucet when parked. This is taken off when
underway. (As someone (perhaps you) mentioned some time
back, having any weight attached to the end of the
faucet while moving will soon damage the faucet
swivel.)<br><br>The nice thing about all the PUR filters is that they
monitor their use, and provide an indication of when they
need to be changed.<br><br>A 5-micron sediment filter
for the city water supply is the next H2O-related
thing I want to add to the rig...<br><br>Cheers,
<br>Bob

Just chatting this a.m. and wondered, is the anti
freeze in the V10 '01 model of the "old" type or the
"new" type???? Want to be sure not to mix
them!!!!<br><br>Scheduled for pu of 30 IB, Teal, 9/12........better than
Christmas!!!

Arne,<br><br>I cannot remove the air filter
either, without first disconnecting the fuel line which I
would rather not do.<br><br>Maybe I'll take it to
Camping World and watch them do it.<br><br>-Bob, 2000 LD

Bob,  Thank's for your prompt response. I looked at the sets and placed an
order. I'm sure it will save us some space.<br><br>Dave in Arizona

Does anyone have a late model MB anywhere near
central Florida? I was camping in northern Michigan with
my daughters when my wife went to CA and placed a
deposit on a new MB. I would love to see one in the
flesh, and get a Floridian's perspective on maintaining
an RV in the brutally hot and humid Florida climate.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.<br>KWmonkey2002

I would be concerned about someone simply breaking a cab door window to gain
access. Has anyone considered installing break-resistant film to   the inside
door glass?             <br><br>    Bob

First, thank everyone for the replies to the Ford
V10 question. I feel reassured!<br>I'm thinking of
visiting Yellowstone in the winter when there will be much
snow. Being a newbie, I am wondering whether you need
chains on any of the tires on your LD in snow
conditions. If so, which tires and where do you buy
them?<br>Thanks in advance. Mike

In preparing to take delivery of our LD in a
couple of months, I would like to obtain a heavy duty
set up to be able to change a tire, if it came to
that. I assume a socket, an extension and a flex handle
or breaker bar would be a reasonable
set-up.<br><br>What is the size of the LD's tire lug bolts? Is a
special socket, like a thin wall, required? How long
should the extension be to clear the dual
wheel?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Linley Gumm

Linley,<br><br>The lug nuts are 7/8". I carry a 7/8" impact socket, an 8" impact
extension bar, both 1/2" drive, and a 120v impact wrench. Also a 6-ton bottle
jack and wheel chocks.<br><br>-Bob
