RE: Why did it take 1.5 hours & three operators?

Last summer with it being 96 out, I was on a major highway and about 15 miles from a large town in Maryland I had a flat, I called Good Sam and the girl told me it would be 4 hours, this was mid morning and middle of the week, I am 77 but I wasn,t going to set for 4 hours waiting so I changed it my self all time thinking is this good service they talk about, makes me wonder if I should renew this year with them.

RE: Are you going back next year?

(RGV again next year. $1,000 cheaper than Florida. Pretty darn windy though.)
Not sure where your staying at that rate , but I am in a county park ( Larry Penny ) south of Miami which is nicer then most parks I have been in and the rate here is 565 dollars a month, lot nicer then resorts I have saw, this my 17th winter here and for sure will be back next year,

Mixed load range tires

On a recent trip I blew a tire, I bought a new one at local tire shop, now home I look and its a load range D all my others are Load range C< the D calls for inflation of 60 PSI the C calls for 50 PSI, if I inflate them that way will it cause a problem?

RE: Frustrations with Good Sam ERS on I-65

You had good service compared to me, I was on a major four lane (Route 15) highway just north of Frederick Maryland and blew a tire, called good Sam and they and told me it would be 4 hours, it was 96 Deg out and I am 76 years old, But a 4 hour wait seem way out of line to me so I changed it my self, I later wrote to Good Sam and complained about there service and they sent me a check for a Hundred dollars, thought about going into the tire changing business for that price,

RE: Travel to St. Augustine Dec. 23rd?

I have been going to Florida from Pa for 17 years and I use to leave day after Christmas but never again, its move up and stop traffic, 23rd may be a good day but I have learned that Christmas day I 95 has very little traffic on it,so I leave while ever one is getting up to see what Santa brought, I make it down to Exit 41 in North Carolina first day then after that traffic isn,t bad, on that day I take 15 to 270, hit the belt way around D C (no traffic) and drop onto I 95

RE: Where to go in Florida ??? Send us somewhere

FLA-GYPSY You made my point, it gets COLD in north Florida in Jan and Feb, most snow birders want warmer then 30 deg at night, spending a bundle to get to warm weather I expect warm weather.

RE: Sanitizing Your RV Water Hose

In Florid the Hot son gets to making the water taste bad so about once a month I drain my hose pour in some bleach then hook both ends together , roll it around till it has run all around the hose, dump it and hook it up to water run fresh water though it till bleach smell is gone, good for another month.
