Yes pictures would be nice but I'm a dinosaur in the photos to forum area. Have managed to upload pics to Tinypics with minimal issue, don't know if it reduces the resolution to acceptable level and for the life of me can't figure out how to get them from there to here. If course,I do everything from my phone so that might be my problem. That and being female, left-handed, dyslexic and nearly 65! LOL Keep trying but get too frustrated and give up. Now if one of my grown kids was handy they could lead me, literally, by the hand and maybe.......

An RV.net moderator (1492) created a short cut to posting pictures, even a; female, left-handed, dyslexic and nearly 65" can do this. Save the picture to your smartphone by pasting this link,

Photo Posting made easier by this Clicky

Then just select the picture from you Camera Roll (Photo Album), copy the link in the window to this page, Presto! You have a photo posted. That will get you beyond all your perceived handicaps, except the fact you are nearly 65'.

Wired up and installed a backup camera. I used an Esky setup for license plate mounting and wired it to the Ford connector. There are several threads on rv.net with the details that I used as inspiration.

The camera is off center on my Lance 850, but I think I can adapt. It will be far better than no camera, and limited side mirror views.

Enjoyed the warm confines of the Lance while working a horse show this morning. 46* with 85% humidity outside and 73 with 35% humidity in the Lance. Ahh nothing like full propane tanks and a good furnace and a good hot cup of fresh brewed coffee on a cool foggy morning

Yesterday, I heard that the place that is going to rebuild my TC had a fire. Lentz RV Repair, Tacoma...going to call them and find out what is going on, if I am going to be able to get in or what! Pics show a MH pulled out the is 7/8 burned, Looked new!

Also for the past week I have been charging the truck bats as it would start..DAH!!! The charger said it was topped off on both...in goes the key and the dash lights up and the heater statrs and the fuel pump kicks on and everything goes dark...So I put charger on START function and got a click at the starter...Hauled them out in the drizzle and down to Budget Battery...tested and each bat had dead cells...the funny thing is both battery cells that were dead were at the end of the battery next to the firewall, which puts one cell at the POS end and the other battery cel at the NEG end...funny!
Any ideas, why?

Dropped them in and voila she fires right up...They were over 4 years and were 5 year bats, so I got prorated purcahse, instead of 119 each I got them for 83 each...of course they are my go to battery place...will get my two new batteries for the TC battery upgrade to 4 this year too...they'll do the custom wires as well...great place!

Carried the First Aid kit I received for Christmas and put it in the camper. The last time I needed a first aid kit while camping I could only find a Scooby-Do bandaid [emoticon]

Serviced my two year old GRP 27 Batteries with some distilled water. Cells looked great and no more than 3ozs of water per cell....pretty good for the desert.

That's not good. Lentz has rebuilt many campers. I haven't been to the location they moved to. The were on Mtn Highway for as long as I can remember. I'm not even sure where they moved to. A friend that sill lives on the wet side told me they moved further north on Pac Ave.
