Message Base Problems

1Brucec — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:38:07 GMT

Message Base problems:

When there are any problems with the clubs message base please check first on the clubs web site at http://www.cedarcreekrvclub.com to see if I have this posted if there is a known problem with the clubs message base I always post something on the clubs web site home page.

If you see nothing posted there then please email me because I probably am not aware of the problem. BUT if you see the there is a problem please do not email me about this.

Whenever I know I will be out of contact with the Internet and or my cell phone I always make sure the message base moderators or at least one of them knows they and they will take care of any problems for me.

When I picked our message base host for our current clubs message base I new the message base was going to grow and any interruption or loss of it would be a disaster to your club. So I researched message base providers and picked what I think is the safest. Out host has been doing these services for years and they continue to grow current and new services. They are to have two backups of our message base data so it should never be lost.

Naturally nothing is perfectly safe and any company can go out of business or have unforeseen problems but I feel these people will be around for years to come.

Those that have been on the current message for year now know they have had very few down times and when this has happened they are usually on top of any problems right away and the message base is back up ASAP.

I hope this answers any questions you may have.

Part time turbos?

468NYSilverback — Thur, 19 Nov 2009 14:52:42 GMT

This question is more in regards to big truck turbos than for p/u's. My co-worker said the truck he was driving skipped a couple times. He called our shop and spoke w/the mechanic on duty and his reply was that the turbo "kicks in /out as needed thus creating the skip". For the life of me, I'm scratching my head on this one. Never have I heard of a "part time turbo". Don't think the new emission motors make a difference (mech says it does). Has anyone ever heard of a "part time turbo"? IMO, it's either working, or it's not.

I-10 FL to TX or I20 from GA to TX

1Brucec — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:40:16 GMT

I was going to take I-10 from Jacksonville FL through to Dallas Texas but was talking to someone here at the at the RV Park in South Carolina that must have just came across he said I 10 was so bad in some places he broke the welds on his motorcycle rack on the back of his motorhome.

Hmmmmmmmm now I may take I20 but he said that was bad also so he has me wondering now as I have been across I20 and it was not that bad in the past.

Anyone been across either from east to west lately?

Off to South Texas

221Hayman — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:58:40 GMT

We left Northeast Ohio on the 27th of Oct. for Texas. Last year we left earlier but this year had to wait for a new rear axle for the fiver (lost camber). Spent time in St. Louis, Branson, and Dallas,Fort Worth on our way down here to Victoria. Will spend two weeks with friends before putting truck and 5er in storage. Fly out on 23rd Oct and return on 28th of December to spend holidays with grandkids and family. Next off to Llano Grande for three months again this year. This trip we brought our motorcycle on a swivelwheel trailer behind the 5er. It's a great way to bring extra toys mc,golf cart, atv and feel comfortable towing it behind you. So far the weather here has been great mostly in the upper 70's and lower 80's One day of rain last Sunday.

Noisy furnace

656DKean — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:44:05 GMT

The blower on our furnace is noisy. There is no outside access to the furnace. When I take the grill off under the frig and remove the plate on the furnace it only exposes the burner of the furnace. It looks like you have to remove the furnace to access the blower portion.
Is there a different way to get to the blower portion of the furnace? Without removing the furnace or the frig ? I also don't want to cut a hole to access it from the outside.

If it is to big of a job or it has to go to the dealer then I guess we will just use electric heaters and use the blower only part of the AC to circulate the air.

Interior walls

1262DelawareCamper — Thur, 12 Nov 2009 12:33:46 GMT

It appears that one of the interior walls is comming loose from the wall, bowing out a little in two places right by one of the seams. It looks like the walls may be just glued on wiht a seam tape between the pannels. Does anyone know if this is the way they are attached, if so it looks like a pretty easy fix, but I would have to get some of the seam tape from Cedar Creek to match the interior. Its one of those things that would cost me more to take to the dealership then to do myself....

Veteran's Day 2009

468NYSilverback — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:07:39 GMT

On behalf of all the members in our family, I'd like to write a few words for you all. Sure I like to joke and make fun of things, but this is dear to our hearts.

I won't beat around the bush nor may not be politically correct with some.

While we go about our everyday routines and travels, does one or even our school systems ever stop or teach why we have Veteran's day? We've come to expect that life goes on without ever batting an eyelash for being able to go about our fore mentioned routines, well, quite frankly, freely. How often do we really ever stop to think how we got here or for those that paid the ultimate sacrifice thus allowing us to go about our daily routines? Ask most people and school aged kids and they will probly give you the deer in headlight look in return. Am I being critical? Well, Yes! It bothers me to no end that the education system is more concerned about teaching things that have little use to a person whereas history will live on forever.

So Dear Veterans that are members of our great Cedar Creek RV Club both here in the U.S. and Canada (for you helped us get here too), we would like to express our deepest and most sincerest THANK YOU for your service to our country and for those that paid the ultimate sacrifice, may you realize that not all of us will ever forget what you did and for protecting us and keeping us safe. While some maybe touching the face of God, we await our time to shake your hand and give you a hug and if okay, give you a salute too.

I look around to see what we have and forever grateful for things. Things are just that, things. Being able to walk outside, travel state to state, laugh, talk and yes speak out is more precious than "things" will ever be. So to ALL our Vets, past, present and future, WE salute you and THANK YOU for not only today, but for each and everyday of our lives.

In closing, the last scene from the movie "Space Odyssey 20??", the lines read, "All these worlds our yours to keep except Utopia. Use them in peace. Use them in harmony". May peace be everlasting and major conflicts be a thing of the past for this is what and why we honor our brave Men and Women for they fought to preserve peace for all of mankind. ALL of you are forever in our hearts and prayers each and everyday of the year. Not just 1.

Thank you all.

Sincerely,

Cris, Mike and kids

Possible Delaware and surrounding area Get together possibility

1262DelawareCamper — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:14:51 GMT

Was think of having a Get together sometime next year if there is some interest in the Delaware, Maryland and who ever would like to make reservations and get together. I was thinking of one of the Delaware State Parks (reservations can be made 7 months in advance online), either Delaware Seashore State Park, or Trap Pond State Park. Both have good and bad points, Trap Pond has water and electric hookups, and can have fires, its wooded sites. Seashore State Park sites are all open pull thru sites right on the inlet, full hookups, no fires, (there is a group fire pit that we may be able to use) about 400 yards from the ocean, and Rehothoth Beach delaware and Ocean City Maryland boardwalks are not far, plus Delaware outlets are close with tax free shopping.
Both fill up pretty fast for the summer months, Seashore really fills up fast for the beach crowd, but reservations can be made 7 months in advance for both parks..

Just a thought, email or post some ideas as to dates (take a long weekend would be good) and either park unless someone has another park in mind...
