RE: Midway between PA & MO suggestions?
Land Between the Lakes near Paducah, KY is a possibility. There is a Corps of Engineers CG there and other campgrounds, Kentucky Lake for boating (rent a houseboat for an afternoon or a day), fishing and hiking and lots of places to eat. Also elk and bison prairie and planetarium. See www.kentuckylake.com and other sites.

RE: RV Caravans - Any Bad Ones?
There are those that feel any Caravan is a bad one because they like to `roll their own'. One can always get a `bad' leader but the chances are very slim. The bad ones don't last long in this era of instant communications.

RE: Brother HL-2140 Mono Laser Printer?
If you don't do much printing eg. a few sheets per day, you probably would be OK with a good ink jet printer/scanner,copier like my HP Photosmart C5280 all-in-one.
However, if you print a lot of documents, letters, etc. the laser is much cheaper per page.
The laser prints color in shades of gray. I'm not sure a plane ticket in gray will be acceptable but it should be OK.

RE: Buying first fifth wheel
Before spending any real money suggest going to www.rvknowhow.com and read/heed the Kieva's suggestions for how to select an RV. It will only take a few outings before you realize it was or was not a `good deal'.

RE: best TT brands
Go to www.rv.org for the RV Consumer Group's ratings of the TT's out there. Helps to separate out the junque so you don't waste time looking at them.

RE: Nervous wife
Do you have Road Service in case of trouble? Do you have a cell phone(s) in case of trouble. Get Mountain Directory West to help plan your route.
You might consider driving to Williams, AZ and take the train to the South Rim and back.
Finally, drive 150 miles the first day and camp. Then drive 150 miles the second day, etc. That way you will never be driving more than 150 miles.

RE: Suburban Water Heater Anode Replacement
I really like the impact wrench idea. Or maybe tapping on the fitting with a hammer with `break' it loose; hopefully not break it totally.
Put teflon tape on the threads when you replace it.

RE: thinking of buying
Another oxymoron; light weight with a slide. Adding the slide and all of the mechanism it requires probably adds #1000 to the weight of the rig.

RE: A good inexpensive tent?
Isn't `good and inexpensive' an oxymoron. Sort of like an `honest politician' or a `light weight RV with three slides'?

RE: Planning A Trip to Tucson Arizona and there abouts.
Austin, TX is a really nice city; lots of Bar-B-Q places. Could probably spend a couple of days there. Can't think of anything worthwhile along I-10. Too bad you can't go north to I-40.
Go to weather.com, type in any city, go to Month forecasts then down to Averages for any month of the year.

RE: family road trip
For 2 weeks I would stay in the New England area. Try for campgrounds with a swimming pool. If you drive to Wisconsin you'll likely turn them off future trips. Do an internet search for _____ tourism and fill in the blank for Maine, New Hampshire, etc.
That age group is limiting.

RE: Hensley Arrow or Equalizer Hitch?
IMHO the Hensley is the better hitch if the tow vehicle is a little short of ideal. The Hensley will eliminate sway as an issue. The Equal-i-zer doesn't eliminate it; merely reduces it to a manageable level.

RE: Windows 7 GRRRRRR!
My upgrade from Vista went fine but I bought the book `Windows 7 Inside Out by Microsoft Press that has already come in handy.
But one of my printers does not work with 7 and the manufacturer does not plan a driver to make it work so I now have a new printer.
