"fuel injection" sounds very modern and unproven

next you will try to tell that electric engine starters are reliable or some other crazy crap

The only truly failsafe way to cross the country with your rv is to have a hand crank on the engine.

With a four horse team to pull it. 1 stallion 3 mares. That way you have self generating spare parts.

And don't forget the tiller so you can "feel" the road so much better than a wheel.

Don't know why I even come back here any more...........

You read my post on RV's. Yet they deleted it because my criticism of the current administration, apparently triggered someone to make personal attacks. So I guess they deleted all of them...............

Now now....a tiller isn’t even an option on RVs, but I’d prefer one on my boat

I have 1.7 million, have never sailed, but want to go around the earth. Please random internet sage advisors...........

Which boat should I buy??

Responders............ GO...

Anyway : what black asphalt RV should I get?

You should get a Spartan Mansion, because they look great once they're restored.


Just like you should start out your cruising life in a Westerly.

Utter rubbish.



^^^Says the guy who keeps posting his videos of his anchoring and high winds sailing over and over again.


C'mon, be nice.



I'll try to be, too.

Hej Don,

I just happen to have a nice Conestoga wagon and 4 older but still going strong oxen that I want to sell. It is wood, so easily repairable, and a couple of centruies ago it was what everyone "sailed" across the prairie. Heck they were even known as Prairie Schooners!

The perfect answer to your question

Buy a boat with a barometer for Bluewater blessings..

Must be true. Without Bees we wouldn't eat well..

Inverted Bow racers might enjoy the bright side of a plane lifestyle. If ploughing underway knot a hydraulic natural, sail the hull instead to force her down into a nice bed. Could always split anchor run mid such a beautiful rocking horse that wants to run fast.
