RE: Link to cell home phone that records cell calls
What am I missing?Texting. VM is becoming kinda old school.
On my iPhone you can setup a group text and record your message verbally. The recipients can then reply if they need to.
There is no way I’d go back to having a land line. I held off dumping it as somethings needed to be done by fax. That’s dead too.

RE: Link to cell home phone that records cell calls
You still have a physical answering machine? If the recording takes the message on the cell I don't know why it matters.
I prefer having the answering machine - it saves dialing for messages since cell "messages" requires you to call voicemail
Really? I only have to “call” if I want to check from another phone. Otherwise I have a list of the voice messages in the phone app and just have to press play. Sometimes the messages have been transcribed and I just read and delete.

Gotta ask why? Cell phones have answering capabilities.

RE: Replacement for Concord Electric Series 90 TV Antenna
Check out the Winegard website. They have several good antennas with various levels of service and installation effort. Some install on the roof with no additional holes through the roof and just connect to existing coax.

RE: Credit Card apps
I use a Wells Fargo issued app on both iPhone and iPad as well as their main website. All three platforms provide different levels of function. All three are secure and support two phase security if you want it. When you sign in it sends a 6 digit code to your cell you must enter to gain access. Can’t speak to android phones but I feel secure using either web or app on my iPhone.

RE: Medicare ads!!!!!
I see most of these commercials on the channels catering to old people like me. 10,000 people turn 65 every day, many of them watch the oldies channels.

RE: 5 figure 30 foot
I have a 31 ft Newmar class A and tow a Jeep Wrangler 2DR hard top, Ford V10. Plenty of power. Newmar is very well built, plenty of storage both in and out. It’s a 2016 so going on 4 year in March. No problems with chassis stuff, some issues with house part, most resolved under warranty. We have PLENTY of carrying capacity. Buy a better brand, go used if needed, but don’t buy on price. You will regret it.

RE: Camping World Get Best Price button
The foolery is not over. They will also want thousands for the delivery inspection and set up, another thousand for documentation fees, and although illegal will want thousands if you do not finance through them. Camping World did you favor, just buy from someone else.
This is180 degrees from my buying experience when I bought mine from CW. Very smooth, no extra fees other than a small doc fee. I let CW bid on the financing and they wrote the loan through Bank of America’s which had the lowest rate available. No fee for PDI. It was a great transaction.
Now if you want to talk about service costs and results, it’s a different story.

RE: Why do I still look at my tankl level gauges?
DSDP Don, I have to think if a 40 or more gallon black tank only lasts 2.5 days, you need to cut down on the beer. ??

RE: Porch light
If you replace the bulb with an LED you may have issues with OTA tv. I replace ours and when I turn on the porch light sometimes the RV signal goes out until I turn the light back off.

RE: Kirkland motor oil
Costco, Sams, Amazon, ( and most oils at auto stores) oils meet or beat the specs for most if not all vehicles. Check the specs for your engine and duty level and buy accordingly. If the spec says full synthetic get it otherwise buy what’s on sale. One nice thing about going electric is no more oil discussions.

RE: Roof Vent Security
I wouldn’t worry to much about them getting into your TC through the roof. I’d me more concerned about them taking the whole thing. Quicker, quieter, more valuable.

RE: Anode replacement
What kind of emergency would require you to put in a plug? The only thing that comes to mind is you take the old anode rod out and lose it.

RE: Towing a vintage car?
I wouldn’t think the automatic would take kindly to being towed four down. Perhaps the manual could but perhaps. I assume these are show cars that you don’t want dinged up? If so you might want to consider trailering it under cover.

RE: Issue with phone

RE: Discount on fuel if paying with cash??
Most stations here in SC give a break for cash/debit cards of a nickel. Many Pilot/Flying J’s have same price for cash or credit but give the Camping World discount. Sometimes they are the higher priced station even with the discount, sometimes they have better prices.

RE: My perception on real gas
Well so far a lot of feelings but no data to support the feelings. Did you get better mileage based on cost per mile? Was the extra mileage worth the extra cost? I have no qualms about real gas being better but at 30-50 cents a gallon more is it worth it? For small engines like lawn mowers and leaf blowers perhaps.

RE: Illinois state park alcohol rules
Illinois, as many outside Illinois may suspect, makes it difficult to determine if, where, when one is allowed or barred from consuming, processing alcoholic beverages. See attached...

RE: Illinois state park alcohol rules
I kept hearing that SC state parks disallowed alcohol. Some parks make you initial that they told you so. I sent an email to the dept of parks and recreation and their response was in a nut shell: they have no control over what you may or may not consume in your motorhome, fifth wheel, travel trailer, or even a tent. They do disallow the public display or consumption of alcohol. So don’t get drunk and make an A$$ of yourselves, and they will leave you alone. If you MUST walk around the campground with a beverage, don’t take it in the bottle or can it came with.
