Course, it would help if I weren't on vacation now! In principle, we're open to rallies, but it always depends on dates. This fall, we're registered to go to the balloon fiesta in ABQ, so those dates are obviously out: Come hell or high water, we're going to balloon fiesta this year! (That's why we decided not to do the DenCO raspberry picking rally at this park this year.)
Beyond those dates, though, I always have to check with my wife, AKA The Queen Of Sites (since she keeps the spreadsheet on her computer).

Thanks for the response, Lynn. O.K., mo/ho Classic types, ready to rally? I'll be helping in any way I can, maybe with some help from the Casini crew.

My dinette seats, though admittedly nothing like either of yours being across from the galley, do have seat belts that are currently tucked in the storage compartments underneath (still attached). Same goes for the couch and the swivel chairs in the living room area. I'm surprised yours doesn't have them in the dinette area Keyair...

That is a good start, I might start a thread to see who's interested and what dates are open once everyone agrees on a campground. Sorry about your back, I have some of the same problems, too. Quite honestly, driving is the best therapy for me when I've got the pains. Hint hint.

Boy howdy, those 34.5 coaches sure have their wiring problems to cause you guys all the screwing around you seem to do. Ever get on the road?

I'll be hitting the road for a month or longer trip of the North Eastern "colonies" later this month. Starting with spending Memorial Day weekend in West Virginia, then moving on to Ohio for Alumapalooza, then headed east to spend a few nights in Pennsylvania at Pennwood Airstream Park then on to Carlisle, Gettysburg Hershey and York, where I am planning to tour the Harley-Davidson Softail and touring bike factory then I may head further North, still undecided, and I'll be coming back through Virginia and staying at Highland Haven Airstream Park for a while (I love surrounding myself with Airstreams and Airstreamers whenever possible!). So I am definitely getting my 345 on the road for a while. So far my wiring hasn't given any trouble (typed as I knock on wood) other than replacing fluorescent light ballasts and wiring in the electric circuit of my three way water heater that had never been connected... That doesn't count as trouble though.

It is custom and there is no drain... There is no need i have a scrubing system so even if i get bad fuel i can clean it without wasting it (@ $4.50 a gal i plan on using every drop).

What's the "scrubing" system? Is it an aftermarket part?

SOLAR SCREEN!!!
It is staring to hit the 100's here. Put on the bathroom window and am going to make a snap on piece for the street side front room area. It will do till I can get an awning for that side.AC barely keeps up with full sun on side.

That's why we left Ajo a month ago, only to hit the wettest spring the Northwest has ever seen...is there no half-way? (We prolly should have stayed up in Flagstaff for another month)

Here is the basic system: I am putting it so that, bimonthly, I can polish my fuel for 3hrs or so. I figure that I will be using the airstream a lot, then it will sit for 2 or 3 months while we live in it and in that time fuel goes bad so if you agitate it and break up the larger chains that form in diesel and cause clogged filters and injectors we will be all good
The boat I am currently running in the caribbean was built in 2006 with the best money can buy 316L fuel tanks and 4, 500 racors and was still not able to keep up with the fuel problems. I bought one of these Algea-X (not Algea-X brand but one that the original inventor was selling at the Miami Boat Show) systems and went from changing my filters every 20hrs to every 300. Now that speaks a lot for this system.
It payed for itself on the first filter; $75 Algea-X (similar)=300hrs/20hrs=15 filters @ $5ea=$75
I use about 400 gal a week on S/V Yellow Shoes so my fuel filter costs were hi and keeping the boat from smelling like Diesel when you change Filters is hard.

That is very cool! I'm suprised some of the marine outlets have not told me about it. I'll check them out, I assume they have a website. Thanks for the tip, it will (hopefully) end one of my larger concerns with the coach sitting for a month or so.
