I've had the ill-fortune to be subjected to CA three times in my life which was four times too many. I shall NOT return.

When we visited friends near where PJ lives. We stayed at COE park. Dam West. If you have a senior national park pass. It's $12 a night for full hooks ups. We got our $10 for this card back many times over.

Shiner
I've never been, but it's on my list of places that I want to visit. Shiner is one of my favorite beers, the Ruby Redbird is amazingly refreshing in summer, and the Bock is my favorite winter beer.
It's between Houston and San Antonio, just South of Interstate 10.

Friday after next set for RV delivery.
Ordered a lot of water hoses, septic hoses, holding tank chemicals, etc, all the mandatory accessories needed for rv.
Was very pleased to find out that Dynamax installed a high quality Kenwood rv stereo in the unit's dash, has RV settings, Garmin nav and Sirius XM.
Sent thank you notes to the two salesmen who did not get the deal

Eddie, I was amazed to read they produce six million cases of Shiner beer each year in that small town.
Ron, I do have the lifetime park pass, thankfully kept it push pinned on a cork board.

Does Garmin offer custom vehicle settings now? Can you tell it that it is navigating a recreational vehicle with X & Y dimensions so that it won't route on roads that are questionable or impassable?

Not sure I gave you the link to RV Park Reviews. They also have a APP.
You can also add extra's to a GPS. I use Garmin. Added POI's (Points of Interest) to it. One of the best is POI Factory. I still have 22,847 campgrounds programmed into mine. First time loading POI's into a GPS can be a pain. After that it is pretty much easy. If you decide to use it. I can walk you threw it.

:thumbsup:Was not pleased to google Powergear slide in my new rv and find out it is a subsidiary company of Lippert, the same company that failed
the last time. But apparently a different style mechanism, more than just a label change.
But best of all, they have a youtube video of how to synch the left
and right slide motors, just by rocking the switch back and forth a certain way. That's always an issue, those mechanisms lose motor synchronization and a jam promptly occurs. Full solution in a 50 second video. Amazing. If true.
Another video showed how the switch works differently, instead of getting to the end and wondering what noise to listen to or gear that goes rat tat tat while you hold down the button, now it just turns itself off in silence when it senses too high a current drain. One way to skin the cat. Like a garage door, probably a good safety issue anyway, instead of a slip clutch that burns up or snaps.
They put in a 1500 dollar radio in this rig, nice quality component plus there is a second basic unit in the salon with
a real CD player in it. Those are becoming extinct. As am I...
So I'm hoping they spec'd Lippert's "upmarket" or heavier duty model since it's a full wall slide so lot of weight on it.
They seem adamant about having truck engine running, keeps the batteries juiced up as I bet those motors
can suck some amps and apparently don't tolerate lower voltage well.
Of course in the real world your engine was already running when you came in and on going out, it needs to warm up a little anyway.
So I have to remember to start the truck engine before pulling in the slide. Same rule from memory on my other motorhome.
