Missing Parts

Posted on October 3, 2025 by webadmin

By Fred Prout

Somewhere around my tenth year, I had a brilliant idea. If I wore eyeglasses the gangsters in school would stop beating the crap out of me. It never occurred to me that my being a sickly kid with a smart mouth might have somehow had something to do with it. All I knew was it was somehow wrong to beat up on any kid wearing glasses. Especially me. So glasses I needed and glasses I got. Continue reading →

Volunteer Recognition

Posted on September 25, 2025 by webadmin

by Sharon Elliott #36

I believe that when you see a volunteer go the extra mile, that person needs to be recognized for their service.

The green space behind my lot had a bad winter. The wind emptied the pine trees of rotted
limbs and cones. (If a pine cone is full of seeds, my trees shed a forest of them.) I used to be able to rake the hill and keep it ready for mowing but all I can do now is look at it and weep.

One day, there was a man picking up the sticks, than collected several large containers of
debris, off the steep hill . He raked the bank and now when I look out my window all is beautiful.

Tom Seliskar Space 43, thank you so much.

Better Rooftop Air Conditioners

Posted on September 24, 2025 by webadmin

The RV world of rooftop air conditioners is in the process of switching to greatly improved products! For some time now, the home air conditioner market has had better technology. Some RVers have investigated and found a way to install home “mini split” air conditioners, although most RVs do not have the wall space to use these. It is now truly refreshing to see this new technology being introduced into the RV world of rooftop air conditioners.

A little background: RVs have used rooftop air conditioners for maybe 40 years! Until recently, these systems all used a “compressor” that either ran or not depending on what the thermostat called for. In many cases, they also had a 2 or 3-speed fan speed that could be selected. When the thermostat called for cooling, the compressor started and ran, blowing cold air until the set temperature was reached, then cycled off. This is key here…the compressor was either on or off, and the electrical draw was a fixed amount while on. (On a hot day, it could run all day long, without ever cycling off.) They also are quite noisy!

Recent developments.
Fast forward to today. We are now seeing RV rooftop air conditioners that use variable-speed compressors and variable-speed fans much like have been available in the home market. These have tremendous benefit over the older style, in that the compressor speed and fan vary depending on the “need”.

The benefits of this technology are significant:

  • Lower electrical power consumption. When this compressor is running at a lower speed, it draws less electricity…Since much of our electrical bill each summer is a direct result of air conditioners, this could be a significant benefit.
  • Lower noise. The compressor and fan running at a slower speed produce less interior noise.
  • Improved interior comfort level with better humidity control.
  • Less “strain” on the electrical grid system.
  • Some models even have a remote control with a thermostat in the remote.
    Some models also have a “heat pump” function.

If you are in the market for a new air conditioner, research the models and reach out to your favorite RV repair person to ask about this type of unit. It’s your decision.
