I think it is a great book, as does Kirkus Reviews: An eclectic collection of short fiction and poetry explores the challenges faced by men as they age. The author, now ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/h-wKAXHYW1k/108 http://rx4rv.com/archives/108 Some good news from Dometic- in a story from RV eNews.com, I see that Dometic is moving its refrigerator production from Sweden to the US- Elkhart, In. This will create 180 new jobs right away, with over 200 jobs in the long run. They are closing an 80 year old plant ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/ugKJmnNfp_Y/98 http://rx4rv.com/archives/98 A quick note- I've moved my websites to a beta (experimental) server. It gives me much more control, but until it gets out of beta, there might be times when it acts odd. So far so good, but I switch back and forth between the old and new servers. I promise ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/2tSpRJDp2hQ/95 http://rx4rv.com/archives/95 As I have said in the past I'm a huge fan of Dinosaur brand replacement circuit boards. The only problem I have had was with the new Norcold "N" series- they have very complex circuit boards, along with many different models, so I doubted that Dinosaur would ever ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/E79N2x_a6m8/44 http://rx4rv.com/archives/44 I wrote a blog post about cleaning the Norcold burner on my RV.net blog. On the refrigerator I was working on at that time (a Norcold 662), I needed to simply replace the burner. I grabbed a new burner off the shelf, installed it, and everything was good to go. I then ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/gcAiMrI4V_0/36 http://rx4rv.com/archives/36 Last week, my RV.Net blog post was on TV in your RV, and upcoming changes, including digital and Satellite HD reception. A couple of things to keep in mind- the standard Winegard Sensar "Batwing" antenna will work just fine for Digital television- no need to buy a special "digital" or ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/NQLpXGjA7mc/30 http://rx4rv.com/archives/30 Hmphh... all recalls, all the time ;) Thanks to the many members of the RV.Net Forums, I found out about a couple of expanded recalls (the service centers are always the last to know!). Norcold has expanded the recalls on their 1200 series "4 door" models to units built before February 2001 ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/7eQjjpDwYYY/29 http://rx4rv.com/archives/29 Well, I've been writing about the ongoing Dometic recall in this post and this post, and today I had an unwelcome finding- working on a refrigerator I had done the recall on nearly a year ago, but the cooling unit failed in the area concerned with the recall. Called to order ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/HHjzZyln8pE/28 http://rx4rv.com/archives/28 Gary Bunzer, the RV Doctor is writing a great series of posts on things that people can do to help the RV Service center. Highly recommended. --Chris http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/liAXE2p7mnE/27 http://rx4rv.com/archives/27 I know life is full of compromises, but they can sometimes drive a person crazy. I'm always wanting features and items from each of the travel trailers and tow vehicles we've owned and put them all together in to one 'perfect' rig. Now I'm wanting to take materials and designs ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Rx4rvcom/~3/_iSFdc6kB08/26 http://rx4rv.com/archives/26
