not travel related but i bet you feel my pain
Boy oh boy I tell you, with all the other problems we have going on add customer service to the list of things gone wrong. This is my actual chat I had with the Western Union online help center.
I was trying for hours to send money through the computer using Western Union and it wouldn't let me so finally I tried the HELP. When I was done I needed help as in mental help from going crazy because of W. Union.
I have posted other fun stuff on my… Continue

Newbie :D
I joined this site initally just to help a fellow Aristocrat Lo Liner owner, but I'll definitely be using the site as a good source for info and inspiration pictures. We belong to a few other vintage trailer sites and I'm not sure if I'll add all our pictures to this site as well, but I have a bunch of pics of our trailer at: http://we3evans.multiply.com/
Was love at first site with our little trailer and we are now "Happy Campers!"

The Ceiling's the Limit!
Hi everyone,
Seems like motorhomes have always been built around the person of "average" height. What is average height anyway? 5'8"? I'm not too sure, but I do know that unless you can afford a newer Class A motorhome (think Alfa Gold) with plenty of headroom, then taller owners are bound to have the "bump your head blues".
Let's face it, older Class Cs are great, but when it's time to come inside after a nice day of swimming, fishing, hiking, or…

Hey Gang,

Jimco Rally Part 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Gang,
Well I made it. I made it to the JIMCO Vintage RV rally in Thompson. It was tough trying to get everything together as the GoGo Bus just 2 weeks ago went in for surgery to repair rot. I only got it back 10 days ago and besides polishing and cleaning from not using it in such a long time I had to replace the… Continue

Gettin' to the nitty-gritty.....
Second Saturday (aka second day) of working on the camper. It is so stinkin' hot in Texas!! So when you just have a fan hooked up for circulating air, you just gotta know you're gonna do some serious, dripping, excessive sweating!! We worked for about 6 hours on the camper.....Jack checking out duct work, holding tank, water lines; me cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Pulling in a shop vac, arming myself with Lysol, Comet, Simple…

concluding my Texas trip
Just wanted to conclude my Texas trip with some additional thoughts and sum it up.
I was quite amused by the 6 day weather forecast. It read 95 - 94 - 96 - 98 HOT - 96 - 95.
98 Hot? What is 95 and 96 a cold front?
I was saddened, which I guess I shouldn't be any more but I was, to see the same old same old corporate stores and restaurants we have here in Ohio. Just looking at the freeway exits it could be Anywhere USA.
I haven't seen all of… Continue

The Fun Begins!
Maybe "fun" isn't what I would use to describe todays work.....more like sweat-y, grunge-y, icky. But still.....somewhere in the middle of all of that it was FUN!! Maybe if it hadn't been 104 degrees in Texas today.....
We finished getting the rest of the loose trash out of the camper. Decided to go ahead and pull the couch / bed out (we plan to replace it with a futon once the re-do is…

New Hope
I just purchased an 82 Pace Arrow and was excited to finally have my first RV. I quickly became discoureged when I took it in to have an exhaust leak fixed and after 2 shops and $6000 I still have an exhaust leak. I figured I would get it fixed later and afterall I now have new brakes radiator batery tires belts hoses and fluids. I hooked up water to the city inlet only to find that the plumbing was broke so I replaced the water lines and started on the flooring. I wanted to tear the 30 year…

Texas 5
OK where was I?
We woke about 10 and met for breakfast in the hotels restaurant. After breakfast we split up. I went with Walt and the girls to go to Natural Bridge Caverns. That's one thing about traveling with Walt, there is never a spare minute, he fills up every second with something to do or see.
Natural Bridge Caverns was just awesome. The descent was over 200 feet down and some of the large rooms had 50 foot ceilings. The temperature was about 78 with… Continue

Texas 4
I did some emails and then headed to a restaurant close to the hotel called The Egg and I. A bit expensive but it was good food.
I went back to the hotel and asked for a shuttle to downtown San Antonio. The hotel doesn't give rides to downtown only to the park n ride. I never rode a bus before alone and was clueless to what… Continue

Texas 3
I felt so at home at the condo maybe too at home. This morning Jami knocked on our door to give us the keys which I left in the door knob over night. A habit I have.
We left the condo and went to the Lone Star aviation museum. Quite interesting. Down the road was the Moody Gardens, the name is a fooler as it has little to do with gardens. We went to the aquarium which was nice. After that we headed towards San Antonio.
We made a mistake because we left the… Continue

Texas 2
It's quite long and elevated about 20 feet. In the middle of the pier is a small convenience store that sells snacks, beer and bait. If you want to go to the fishing pier or observation deck its 2 bucks unless you purchase something.
We met a 25 year old lady who struck up a conversation with us. I mention her age only because her knowledge of issues was quite… Continue
