We are also in Mesa. Fuel is $3.79 to $3.89. Got to watch. Many of the stations do not have enough room to get a MH and toad in and out.

After having a close call and blocking and tying up the pumps at a station with a 40ft DP towing a Colorado, we virtually restricted ourselves to Flying J's and Pilots.

I have the Pilot app on my iPad and it pinpoints our location and shows every Pilot and FJ for 500 miles.

Just drove FL to RI, and the prices ranged from $3.74 to $4.24. The highest price seemed limited to CT, the average hovered around $3.89.

All, I recently ran across someone who sells parts for Kodiak very reasonable. I bought several things to include fuel filter. His name is Bruce and his e-mail is . He is sending me his card with contact info ie phone in the package and will also send on when I receive. He states he can get anything you need for the Kodiak and any year. Dane

We left upper Michigan on a flying trip to southhamption, mass to p/u a truck bought on eBay. The interstates in New York state are the worst we have ever seen with large holes. Knocked my hot water heater pipe loose and flooded bedroom. We saw two Senecas in the UP around lake Michigan do not know if in group. On to Maine from Mass.

It's not just New York, had our hot water line loosen up while going through Indiana/Illinois. Water pump was inadvertently left on and we also had a wet carpet. We also occasionally have problems with the water connections for the kitchen slide out loosening up. Sometimes I really think JAYCO engineers got their degrees from a Cracker Jacks box. Too many STUPID things, why have connections that are destined to leak, when the solution is obvious and would cost them less money? ? ? ? ??

Well, actually, they have the same quality control team as all the others. Their names are Larry, Curly and Moe.

It's not QC, since all they can do is make sure what is shown on the drawings is correct, it is much higher up..Why use two female fittings connected by a double male nipple when one male and one female fitting would do the same thing and eliminate a second possible leak point. Besides, you wouldn't have to buy and install the nipple!

In that regard, yes, but we still had a lot of assembly items that were just plain sloppy and required correction. Same with our two DPs. They must think we have all the time in the world to travel miles and miles to dealers for these fixes and leave our MH's with the dealers for weeks. That is why with Jayco we decided to have everything done at the factory service centre and I have to say that they were really good. We were always in and out in no time. Even when the fridge door fell off at the rally it was great that the following Monday they were able to get a door and install it so quickly.

Getting back to design, one of the best dumb things I saw was with a Triple E DP - it had the outside shower located under the slide. Impossible to use unless you were down on your knees and bent over as well. I sure wish the execs at the factories would take their products out and use them - not just overnight but for weeks.

The Fort trip has changed. Going down end of Aug for the Labor Day Cruise on the Disney Dream, then staying at the Fort till the 18th of Sept.. Will then spend sometime in FL before heading to Alabama around the 5th of Oct and then on to Denver around the 10th. Middle daughter decided to" throw a wrench in the works" and have a baby around Oct 20th. (she just moved from Chicago to Denver 2 weeks ago). We are on our way home from Denver right now.

Perfectly logical explanation in that I'd put up with that minor inconvenience for a third grandchild if that were possible.

If you get down again during the winter let us make sure we book a dinner again like last year (including Gary and Sheryl of course).
