RE: Looking for a nice campground in Moab, Ut
We prefer Dead Horse Point, but it's electric only. You have to bring all the water you need as you can't fill up in the park.
If you are after FHU's, personal experience tells me that you can't go wrong taking Lauren's advice.
We will be there the first week of June also.

RE: Has anyone used the Flush-King for dumping?
The black tank flush and the Flush King (or your own version of it), both have their own advantages. I have a friend that managed to get the black tank clogged up. It wouldn't drain and the in tank flush wasn't helping. A neighbor in the campground offered his Flush King. I broke up the clog very quickly. He has both now!

RE: How to winterize a black water flush system
I don't do anything with mine except empty it, then put some pink stuff in it afterwards.
Plastic freezes when the ice causes it to expand and contract. A very large tank with a tiny bit of water left in it will usually be fine. I put some RV antifreeze in mine, not even a lot, for safe measure. Never a problem in ten years.
Not worried about the tank, but the line and check valve in the black water flush.

How to winterize a black water flush system
Last spring when we had the fifth-wheel out for the first time, the check valve in my black water flushing system had a leak. That's when I figured out that I had totally forgotten to winterize this system. I would be interested in knowing how others winterize their systems. I had my rig professionally winterized last fall, but would have always done my own winterizing and would like to in the future.

RE: This is the kind of stuff Apple does that drives me bonzo!
All this bellyaching because of a missing button that did nothing but shortcut kick you over to Amazon.com's website in Safari. When you purchase a Kindle book at Amazon.com's website it still gives you a one-click option to deliver your book directly to your iPad whether you shop from your computer, phone or iPad.
Why no bellyaching about Kindle that does not allow you to shop Apple iBooks or Barnes & Noble Nook books, period? Isn't that a more onerous and unfriendly corporate screw over by a company that basically sells you a substandard device that benefits only them?
I guess we are not going to go back to RVing. Well OK!!
Comparing the iPad functionality to an ereader is still not apples to apples. Just doesn't compare. I know I own both.
What is the point of removing the ability to shop for Kindle books from the app, when I can open Safari and do the same thing? It's an inconvenience and thus an irritant. Again what is the point?
This time I am really done here.
Moderator, would you mind closing this thread?

RE: This is the kind of stuff Apple does that drives me bonzo!
As I stated earlier this "acolyte from Redmond" owns an iTouch and two iPads, hardly an Apple hater.
Seems like this thread has pretty much gotten off subject. Let's get back to RVing, likely something we can all agree on.

RE: This is the kind of stuff Apple does that drives me bonzo!
But Apple doesn't create updates for Amazon's apps.
True, but Apple does strickly control apps available through iTunes. I am guessing that Amazon didn't jump with joy over being told to remove the functionality.

RE: This is the kind of stuff Apple does that drives me bonzo!
Firewire, GUI, Imac, OS X (unix for the masses), iPhone, thunderbolt or we could list the hundreds of patents, many of which Andriod will have to pay Apple for. Just to name a few
Firewire - Yeah that was a big hit
GUI - Surprised you didn't say windows (Oh yeah Apple lost that law suit didn't they)
iMac - Who cares? Unless of course you are an Apple Brand loyalist
OS X (UNIX for the masses) - Really, they developed UNIX? Or did they borrow it?
iPhone - I'll give you that one
Thunderbolt - Developed by Intel (with some help from Apple)

RE: This is the kind of stuff Apple does that drives me bonzo!
APPLE has taken the lead in the marketplace with a long list of amazingly innovative products and as is typical, such success draws the ire of many.
Besides the iPod, iTouch, and iPad what is on the long list?
These are great products no doubt!

Great experience with Dutchmen Warranty Service
Seem you see a lot of negative posts about warranty experiences with RVs.
I recently had a great experience with Dutchmen on my Komfort fifth-wheel.
Seems that the sewer/grey water dump line was routed wrong during the manufacture of our Komfort. Documented the problem with pictures and description and Dutchmen took care of the repair.
Thanks Dutchmen!

RE: Fifth-Wheel Forum
Go to My Forums>Hide Forums and make sure it's not accidentally check marked. You can also try an alternative portal here.
That was it. I have never been in the hide forums dialog box. No clue how it happened, but unchecked fifth-wheel in there and there it was. Thanks!

Perhaps I missed it, but I am pretty good about reading the descriptions and sure don't recall anything about removing the Shop Kindle button.

RE: This is the kind of stuff Apple does that drives me bonzo!
However, if you wish to spite yourself over a snit, remember the Apple iPad as opposed to a Nook or Kindle Fire will still allow you to read books purchased at Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble or several other sources. You are not captivated or locked into Apple's iBooks.
Comparing an ereader to an iPad is hardly apples to apples. Even with the increased functionality of the newer ereaders, they are not comparably to the iPad. A fairer comparison would be with an Android based tablet.
As I indicated in my original post we have two iPads in our family as well as an iTouch. I think Apple knocked it out of the park with these devices. Android based tablets are quickly catching up if they haven't by now. I don't own one so I can't say.
My beef with Apple is them taking away functionality from an app I have been using for months. Seems they might have fully disclosed what the upgrade was doing, but choose not to.

RE: Honeywell 2,000 watt Inverter Generator $499.00?
I'm guessing you don't know what ad nauseam means as the topic of large battery banks is rare. But the topic of Honda and Yamaha generators is more common than dirt
You guessed wrong!

RE: Honeywell 2,000 watt Inverter Generator $499.00?
I'm financially inclined to have a large battery bank instead of wasting fuel to power light bulbs. The OP asked about the Honeywell not the Honda or Yamaha. We ALL know about those, ad nauseam
The OP posted about inverters, not large battery banks, ad nauseam!
