RE: does Verizon really drop speed to dial up after 5Gb?
AFIK
its unlimited 'access' with 5gb data limit, NOT unlimited data
i'll see if i can find the link to 'limit' description
I'll keep looking... this is what it shows on my verizon page:
Usage Type My Usage Allowance
Kilobytes 36,004.16KB Unlimited
In this instance it does appear to use "unlimited" to describe my data allowance...

RE: does Verizon really drop speed to dial up after 5Gb?
I am trying to figure if i have a limit or not. I have a verizon blackberry unlimited plan that i pay $44.95 a month for. i am not aware of any restrictions and don't find anything on myverizon about a limit everything says unlimited. So, my question is am I really unlimited or is there a hidden limit somewhere? i have had this plan for about a year and a half.

RE: What's your best baked bean recipe?
This is the recipe for Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans. Dutch is a moderator over at smokingmeatforums.com and is an excellent pit master. Hands down, these are the best beans that I have ever had. I have made them a number of times and they are always a hit. I like mine on the smoker however they are great in the oven as well. :)
WICKED BAKED BEANS
(Beans that will even make Chili Heads happy)
6-8 strips of bacon cut into 1/2 inch squares
1/2 Medium onion, diced
1/2 Bell pepper, diced
1 - 2 Jalapeno Peppers, diced (seeding is optional)
1 - 55 ounce can Bush's Baked Beans
1-8 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained
1 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 Cup ketchup
1/2 - 1 Tbs. dry (ground) mustard
Saute bacon pieces in fry pan until crispy and remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Saute onion, bell pepper and jalapeno pepper until tender.
In a large mixing bowl combine beans, pineapple, brown sugar, ketchup and dry mustard. Stir in bacon pieces and vegetables. Pour into a 12X9 or a deep 9X9 aluminum baking pan. (While mixing if things look dry, add additional ketchup 1/4 -1/2 cup at a time)
Place in a 220-250° smoker for 2 1/2 to 3 hours (make sure temperature of the baked beans reaches 160° ) or place in a 350° oven and bake for 1 hour.
NOTE: If you are making these beans as a side dish for Kansas City style pork ribs, smoke the removed skirt meat for 1-1 1/2 hours, then dice the skirt meat and stir into the Baked Beans.
Tip from Jeff/Camping Hoosiers - I usually make these while smoking pork of some kind. I always take some trimmings and add to the beans.
DISCLAIMER
With the Jalapeno pepper and the dry mustard these beans have the potential for some MAJOR heat. CAUTION should be exercised when feeding these beans to small children and/or the elderly.
To make this recipe Family Friendly, omit the Jalapeno pepper and the dry mustard.

RE: Reserve America - Have you had good or bad experiences?
I really like the system and have never had a problem. Check in at the park is quick and easy since they already have the info.

RE: Dual cam, cam arms
There is nothing to lose that the kids could touch except maybe the little clips for the snapup brackets.
Which are pretty easy to lose if you drop them in six inches of leaves then kick them around a bit before you notice the clip is missing! Don't ask me how I know! ;)
I keep an extra pair of these in my tool box now... just in case.

RE: Camping with kids - buying a new TT - bunks or not?
I'm a huge fan of the bunk house models and we are on our second one. We have three girls that now are 12, 15 and 17 and most of the time we still ave all three of them with us when we camp.
They love the bunk room so they have some privacy and their own TV/DVD player in there. They can go to bed when they want and get up when they want and not be in anyone's way.
Having the sofa and the dinette available at all times was important to us. Sometimes we are up late or get up early and we just like to have that space available when we want to use it.
Every once in a great while they want to try a tent... that usually only lasts for one night then they are back in the bunk house!

RE: Start small or Go Big??
I wish I had started out with the larger trailers... I spent a lot of money upgrading to where I wanted to be. I would have been thousands of dollars ahead by starting off there!

RE: Old WD Hitch?
Do you know what weight your bars are rated for? For example if you have 500 lb rated bars but need 1,000 lb rated bars, you probably couldn't transfer enough weight forward to level it out.

Huevos Rancheros
Anyone else out there a fan of this Mexican style breakfast dish?
I recently spent some time working along the Mexican border in south Texas and I just love the food down there. My all time favorite for breakfast is Huevos Rancheros. I first had this dish about fifteen years ago when I started doing some work in south Texas.
I have had this prepared many different ways and each little diner seems to make it just a bit different. Its easy to make and I make it on occasion for my crew.
Basically the dish is a couple of over medium fried eggs served on a warm corn tortilla or even on some crumbled corn chips. Warmed salsa poured on top of the eggs. Refried beans on the side and served with a couple more warm tortillas. If you don't care for the corn tortillas the flour works just as well. It is also usually served with some sauteed beef cooked in a red pepper sauce. Some places serve crumbled up bacon on the side as well. Its fast, its easy and its good. Give it a try sometime if you like Mexican food. :)

RE: How can I . . . ?
Get one of these from PPL Motorhomes.com or JC Whitney for under $20.00. Plug it into any 12 volt outlet and read your battery. When testing with no load on the battery fully charged is 12.6

I've been all over PPL.com & JC Whitney, and I can't find this thing, got a name for it, or a direct link? Please, Thank You
Here is something like if from Camping World.

RE: Help! Jayco deals
(not the G2 ... it weighs too much to even venture to a local flatlander state park).
The difference between the Jay Flight and the Jay Flight G2 with the same floor plan is usually just a few hundred pounds in the lighter trailers.
For example the Jay Flight G2 27BH weighs 4,860 lbs mt. Compare this with the Jay Flight 26 BH (same floor plan) weighs in mt at 4,445 lbs.
So we are talking about 415 lbs between these two, so the G2 would work in this example.

RE: Help! Jayco deals
Okay I called Chevrolet and they agree I shouldnt pull the trailer I THOUGHT I was getting. Plus the more I talked to the dealer it turned out he wasnt even selling me the one with the slide, how we got mixed up there I will never know. SO my weights are lower, I just dont know how low yet. I am going to reassess everything minus changing my tow vehicle.
Can someone tell what they think I can tow? Jayco wise. I dont want any of the tent contraption things
Chevy said my Towing capabilities are 7400 and that I should only do 75% of that to be safe. So all things included, gear and all that would be 5550.
Jayco says that a new 27BH weighs 4,860 empty and can gross 7,500 fully loaded. I'd do it, I would just make sure to load the trailer conservatively and travel with empty tanks. You can toss 1,000 lbs on and still be at only 80%.

RE: Portable tank for transporting fresh water??
I went to Northern Tool and bought a 15 gallon hard plastic tank with a 12 volt pump already attached. Works good for me, I just throw in in the trunk of our Saturn, go to the closest water supply, fill the tank, come back to the R.V., hook up to the battery in the car and pump it into the R.V. Ronnie
This is interesting... I looked around their website and couldn't find it. I wonder if they still carry it? I think I have a catalog in my office so I'll take a look tomorrow.

RE: Portable tank for transporting fresh water??
Just remember that for every gallon of water you carry.. you also carry about 8 pounds of weight..
10 gallons = 80 pounds
50 gallons = 400 pounds
etc..etc....
plus the weight of the container itself...
John
My intent is to carry the tank empty and then just use it in the area of where we are camping. However I do have the capacity to carry it full if I wish. I am probably going to stick with twenty gallons or so when I find the tank I want.

Portable tank for transporting fresh water??
Hi folks!
We just came back after seven nights out at one of our local parks. The water was not on just yet so we were using electric only, which is pretty common for us. Most of the state and federal campgrounds that I frequent have just an electric hookup with no water or sewer.
We easily cruise through a weekend with the water that we can carry on board, we can even go three nights with little effort. Beyond that though and we are probably going to have to pull off some gray water and add fresh water. So I usually only need to do this a few times each year and I know in advance if I will or not.
For years I have kept a few five gallon collapsible water jugs on hand for this and it works ok. I find that with my disability it is pretty difficult to handle these now so I am looking for an easier way.
Seems like a twenty gallon or so tank and an electric pump might be a good solution. I have some ideas for the pump but not for the tank.
For those of you that use a system like this for transporting water, what kind of portable water tank do you use?
Thanx!
Jeff
