Chuck and Julie
I appreciate the Bio. We have similar coaches. I look forward to meeting you. I was rewriting/ editing when you were writing. I had searched your posts and got that you had a monarch. I look forward to seeing it. I like the fact you have been updating/customizing. I didn't look at your profile. That would have been to simple.

I know photo bucket is a pain. There is no one who likes it. We put up with it. It is still the way to chronicle/document what will help someone down the road.

My goal for the subzero week ahead is to take pictures with my camera so I can put them in photo bucket. Iphones and photo bucket fight an orientation battle that only Bill NY seems to be able to fix. I put pics in yesterday and the are sideways.

I was worried this was thread drift and the realized this is the reason we have GTG's. Always welcome at my place. I have 2 50 amp hookups.

2019 Milford GTG looks to be great. The biggest problem is not enough time to get quality time with everyone.....

there will always be room.

Greetings,

As of today, we have twelve solid and three probably attendees. Anyone have ideas for some things to do? I could see a trip to the flea market, maybe dinner at an Amish restaurant some night and a trip to rv salvage joints for those of you interested. Great bargains on everything from cloth to kitchen hardware.

Let me know your thoughts.

Salvage yards would be great for me. Maybe a pig roast like last time?
I am really looking forward to this!

I would like to visit some reclaim yards like Steve. But the pig roast, if I don't see the pig, I would eat it.

I am thinking about bringing the Bass boat, I used to fish the St Joe river in Elkhart and a lot of lakes in the Michigan and Indiana area, anyone going a bass fisherman??

I look forward to the camaraderie and social events, would be fun to meet some of the folks that built our Barth's too.

Das Esenin House(sp )near Goshen is kinda an Amish place with shops, a hotel and a great family style restaurant, a cool place to visit. The Amish have an outdoor sale every weekend if anyone is staying or arriving early in Shipshewana.

Dometic has a factory in La Grange In. I think they only manufacture Awnings now and I do not know if anyone is still there, that I knew, but if there is interest I could see if we could tour the facility. They always hated RV owners who visited without advance notice.

Geez I am happy you guys are coming, maybe this time I won't need to ask you to help on the nose and we can just drink and eat.

Well, We could do both.

Well Tom now that you mention it, I would really like to get the Cruise Control operational, I have no idea how they work. Will margaritas, wine , or beer be best for this project??

First thing we need to get your frig installed for cold drinks!

Do you know what kind of cruise it is? Some were aftermarket ARA like the AC systems.

I will bring an ice chest for the beer. The Fridge should be a pretty easy job, I will have the old one out before I leave here. The vent should be the only hassle. we will need hardware. Perhaps we will find a Cabinet door at a salvage store for the area left over above.

I am pretty sure it is not the original cruise, it does have a vacuum motor drive, I will have to check if there is a cable to the speedometer or if anything else supplies the control input. the on/off control button I am pretty sure is aftermarket too. Have not checked it closely so not much info, if it ever warms and I get my other stuff finished, I will get some better information.

Probably all of them, Duane.

Mary, I am not sure, so far she has not fully committed, I remain hopeful!!

I think me and Tom's drinking buddy are going to make it. It's between music festivals. Thanks for putting this together Richard.
