Idaho attraction

Are you thrill seeker that is always searching for a new place to experiene on your Idaho vacation with adventure and yet great fun?  If so you may want to stop by St. Anthony Sand Dunes and take your off highway vehicle and face the challenges provided by this huge playground.  There are over ten thousand acres of sand dunes which rise to over 400 feet for you to test your skills on.

If you are not an Off Highway Vehicle rider there are still great times available whether it is by climbing or horseback riding among the sand dunes.  There are fifeteen adventureous miles of barren sand for you to enjoy.

White Sands in NM isn’t the only area with the beautiful white quartz sand.  St. Anthony Sand Dunes is another one where the sand grows 8 feet each season.

There are camping sites for you to stay at but be ready for some primitive camping at some of them.  They are undeveloped with out door toilets - although there are some that are modern service for those that don’t wish to experience the extreme.  Recreational vehicles are also permitted and there is a unpaved parking area for them with hook ups, even a convienence store of sorts to get you those things that you forgot to bring.

Discover the challenges of Choke Cherry where you will probably have to come up the back side since the front is too steep for most vehicles.  Then on to Devil’s Dune and Dead Horse Bowl along with a exciting variety of other places that you will discover as you ride the area.  Do not just stop at the “main” dunes, explore the less used, and find the spot that is ideal for your desires.

Thunder Mountain is where everyone races so if you are into sport racing this is the place to be.  You probably will just race to the top and then ride back down because the other side is very steep and not appropriate to racing.

The park is under the control of the Bureau of Land Management. There are rules, like a five mph speed limit in the campgrounds that must be obeyed so you don’t disturb the other campers.  If you violoate this you will be required to leave, and you should be!!

The dunes are located just fifty miles northwest of Idaho Falls, near Saint Anthony in the beautiful Eastern region of Idaho, one of the most popular Idaho attractions.  Stop and tour and come again and often, you are more than welcome.

Can You Run Your Car on Water?
icon1 admin | icon2 Uncategorized | icon4 07 20th, 2009| icon3No Comments »

Many people in this world are having trouble paying for gas. Seeing as gas prices are always high, many people are trying to find a way to save money on gas. If you build an hho generator, you will be able to run your car on water with ease.

 

This is excellent news for people that are having a hard time affording gasoline. You cannot run your car on water by solely using water, but you need the water to make an hho generator perform properly. With an hho generator, you are able to produce hydrogen from water, and this leads to using gasoline more efficiently. Your gas is being used more efficiently due to the hydrogen gas being added.

 

In May of 1977, there was an article published by NASA that stated fuel efficency had the potential to improve if hydrogen was added to gasoline. There are a lot of people that have found this article to be true, and they are driving around with their hho kits installed. On the other hand, there will always be skeptics that believe the technology doesn’t work.

 

There will always be websites claiming how it is impossible for this technology to work. Many of these people have not even tried the technology, and they are just assuming that it doesn’t work. When you are growing up, your parents will always tell you that if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. You will see some people arguing how an hho generator will fail due to physics.

 

The only way that you will know whether you can run your car on water or not is if you construct a kit yourself and experiment with it. With the water4gas manuals, you will be told exactly how to build an hho gas kit and how to properly set it up on your car. If you are skeptical, there is a 60 day money back guarantee on the online manuals, so you really don’t have much to lose.

Windscreen wiper from Gator Blade

Windscreen wiper

Your car is equipped with windshield wipers which are one of the most important pieces of equipment. You cannot take a car onto a public highway without it having windshield wipers installed. The purpose of the wiper is to clear your windscreen of water. Removing grime and other dirt is also an important function because it allows clear vision for the driver.

The primary goal for a windshield wipers is for good visibility.  They are also known as windscreen wipers. The windshield wiper design is an arm, this is attached at its base to a motor. The point of contact with the windscreen is a rubber blade which is attached to the arm. The arm pivots backwards and forwards over the windshield, in this way it clears the way of dirt and water.

The speed at which the arm travels across the windshield can be varied.   There will be a switch on your control panel for this. There is also a periodic setting which you can use when the rain is light.
The two blade system was replaced by Mercedes with a single blade that allows the wiper to reach into both of the corners.

A really inventive new design of windshield wiper is the Gator Blade windshield wiper.   The Gator Blade Windshield Wiper totally outperforms each of the other windscreen wipers on the shelves for giving you a great-looking and spotlessly clean windshield. A guy fires a bug bazooka at the windshield of a car in one of the promotional videos. This bazooka shoots bugs at the windshield at over 100 miles an hour and the Gator Blade windshield wiper sweeps them away as if they were just water.

Windshield wipers also work in conjunction with a water bottle underneath the hood of the vehicle which is connected to spray nozzles on your windscreen. Spray jets a controlled from the dashboard of your car with another switch. You can clean your windshield whilst you are still driving. This is known as the wet arm system. Wiper blades are also used to clean rear windows and headlamps.

Classic Trailers
icon1 admin | icon2 Uncategorized | icon4 07 15th, 2009| icon3No Comments »

When I first decided on making a website of Vintage Travel Trailers for Sale, I thought, “Who in the world would be looking for old travel trailers”.  And much to my surprise, there are quite a few people still interested in the classical {travel} trailers.

As I read more and more, my mind went back to 1965 when I was just a girl of eighteen.  Oh what a great life we had back then, huh?After retiring from the military, my Father found old friends that he had known in the past.  His name was Red Martin, just in case anyone remembers him.  His wife was Maggie and their son was Butch.  Also, Jim and Laverne Weis were great fun to be around and also involved with Kenskill travel trailers.So, continuing on with the memories.We were in Orange County before moving. to Granada Hills, Ca.  There my Dad, Mom and myself nestled into our new life of being civilians.We relocated to that area to be closer to where my Dad worked at Kenskill Travel Trailers.Dad went to travel shows to exhibit the newest ones that were for sale.Remembering a show that I went to with my parents was really memorable.  It was at Dodger’s Stadium in the outside parking lot with all of the new travel trailers and some classical vintage travel trailers from the 1940’s.  We were all very close back then in the travel trailer business.  Most of the time, my Dad would be whistling the song “Trailers for Sale or Rent”.  Great times were in abundance!In order for all of us to definitely keep our thoughts about classic travel trailers and how they used to be, this internet page will be around forever.

The classical trailers at that time were more of the long long trailer and Kenskill was at the height of making the 18’ classic enclosed trailer for smaller families to be able to go camping for the weekend.  Kenskill was a big name in the 1960’s in California.A much cherished travel family treasured by all.  The travel trailer supplies and equipment were top of the line for those days.  The used airstream classic travel trailer was the biggest competition.The Kenskill Company only turned out high-quality trailers and their supply stocks were plentiful.  Sadly, the vintage camping trailers are all but a few.  You might be able to at least see one if you are lucky enough to get to a big trailer tradeshow in a large city.If you could see one, you would be amazed, and to purchase one would be awesome.  I guess if I really added up the years, you could call them antique travel trailers now.  But I won’t, because that will make me feel too old!

Let’s not forget the classical airstream trailers.  They are also a true work of art with their curved wood panels in the interior to the flashy silver streak trailers on the outside.  A used Airstream classic travel trailer is a legend in the truest sense of classic travel trailers.Amongst the groups of people that are in clubs that persue the Airstream trailers is very large.  You can always find trailer supplies through catalogs to spruce yours up, if you are lucky enough to own one.

Let me say a little more about these wonderful antique trailers that you can buy.For the restocking of your trailer’s necessities, going to different websites is a suggestion.  I almost forgot to mention two more classic trailers.  They are the vintage tag-a-long camper and the 1951 vintage vagabond trailer.All were special days of slow-going lives, longer weekends and many days of family fun in the camping trailers back then.
Thanks for reading my article on Vintage Travel Trailers and maybe having some of your memories take you back to those great times.I think my right ear is hearing the song “Trailers for Sale or Rent”, can I be dreaming!

To fond memories of vintage travel trailers for sale!

You can use this power to run all the electrical devices on your RV including the appliances and lights. Often you will find that getting your power from solar panels will give you more choices when it comes to picking a destination.

If you are in the market to purchase an RV generator so that your RV becomes self-contained, and gives you instant electricity, you should be aware that there are three types of generators: a gas generator,a diesel generator, and an Lp or propane generator.

In a lot of instances with a gas generator you might run into problems rather quickly if you don’t run it often. It is a good idea to fire up your gas powered generator quite frequently in order to keep the intake and carburetor from gumming up.

When purchasing a generator, make sure you know that the generator will usually get its fuel supply from the RV’s fuel tank. In most instances your generator will shut down by itself when the fuel tank gets low so it doesn’t use up all of the available fuel.

It is critically important to regularly check your exhaust system for holes as carbon monoxide is highly poisonous. If all you have is a portable onan generator, and you’re using it for camping then you need to make sure that the exhaust is facing away from the area that you are camping in.

Your generator can be used while you are traveling and in fact it is even more economical to run your air conditioning off of the generator rather than the air conditioning from the motor of the RV.

A safety note is to always make sure that you never ever run a generator in an area where people are sleeping and not only because of the noise issue but because of the extreme hazard of carbon monoxide poisoning.

You can’t get a much more reliable power source for your RV than an RV generator, as with proper care they are well known to outlast the RVs themselves. If your generator sits for a while, it will run into surging problems and will eventually break down.
