Goin to find some cold water
End of summer with no real trips so we are gonna go up to NC to Deep
Creek near Boone for some whitewater tubing. Camper is still about two weeks from completion so will be using the tent (this is tent #4 and is almost worn out). |

You could do some whitewater tubing at WDW in Orlando, and stay in a nice, well-furnished room with a full bath at night, cheapskate. |

My wife is taking me to California and I hear the water in Tahoe is pretty cold. I don't plan on jumping in anyway. I experienced some cold water this evening. the water heater in the garage quit last week so until I get a new heating element, after work showers are a bit nippy. |

Take a cruise on the Tahoe Queen or the other paddlewheeler. Nice cruise of the lake, and stops at Vikingsholm at Emerald Bay.http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=506 We boat there once in a while. Notnow: Thanks for the tip, I dunno how much time we will have. It is a 10 hr drive from here. Now I gotta decide, rush camper to completion tonite or go with the tent. We have heard there are problem bears at Deep Creek. Been there, done that, proved I can sit in my tent or in my sleeping bag scared to death while they tear up my stuff next to me. Being older gives me the right to be a wimp and want to be in a hard sided camper. Have not put camper onto truck yet and I anticipate some fitting problems, worth rushing or not for leaving tomorrow morning. Be a man. Sleep in the tent. Take some righties here with you, and tie them to trees to placate and feed the bears. A win-win situation. |

Camper is still about two weeks from completion so will be using the tent (this is tent #4 and is almost worn out). I take a trip up that way once or twice a year. I like going to Flat Rock/Hendersonville area. If you are going up I-85 from GA into SC, there's a really nice ride on a little state road going up into the mountains. It's state route 11, the first exit in SC after crossing Lake Hartwell. |

I don't mess with anything above 120V. |

My wife is taking me to California and I hear the water in Tahoe is pretty cold. I don't plan on jumping in anyway. I experienced some cold water this evening. the water heater in the garage quit last week so until I get a new heating element, after work showers are a bit nippy. Both elements went out? If it is just the top one you can jumper out the top thermostat and run off the bottom one. I know, but this is a single element 15 gal. job. 15? *Damn, that's small for a house in your climate. *My office has one that size. *Does that hold up for two showers? *I have a 40 gal and the water enters it at over 65º all year. I have a heated garage, that we could actually live in. *concerning the water heater, mine is a simple 120v, that hides neatly under the counter in the garage. it's all it's used for , for me to take a shower and clean cook-out *utensils. Slide in camper weighs roughly 900 lbs. I levered it up and slid 2" rollers made from pvc pipe under it to roll it out of the carport. This went well. The job now is to get it up onto the truck. The camper jacks will not go down far enough to allow me to lift it from the ground with them. So, I tried to use an inclined plane made from 2 4"X4" X8' posts, couldnt get it up onto the ramp well and then could not get rollers under it. Plan B. Gonna lever it up bit by bit getting it onto concrete blocks till it is high enough for the jacks to operate. Of course it is 100 effin degrees out and 99% humid. |

I bought one of those tankless water heaters and still have it in the box. It's tiny and mounts on the wall so I will gain some space in the garage. My conventional unit is 12 years old and could die any day. The problem is the wiring. I have to get a nice, non-union, electrician to run some fat wires about 15 feet to run it. I don't mess with anything above 120V. I've talked to Tim about my system. I've got natural gas. Here is mine: http://www.valleypower.com/r75lsin.h...hannelid=FROOG It's expensive, but it really cut my natural gas costs, summer and winter. This thing gives me hot water in the whole house, and never ever runs out, even if there's two showers going, the dishwasher, clothes washer, etc. Of course, Tim wouldn't need this much of a heater for his application. |

I'm investigating the on-demand heaters though. sounds better than cooking water 24/7 Yep, that's the thing. You have to keep 40 gallons or so hot all of the time. It won't be long and mine, I got it for $750, will pay for itself. I'm saving a couple of hundred just over the mild winters we have here. |
