Important - check this every time you set up

Originally posted by fwunder And, there are thousands of different kinds of seasonings and then there is Old Bay. It's an easy choice.

I drive about 50,000 miles a year teaching my sound mixing classes, so I get to eat out all over the country. However because I grew up in Maryland, I've given up eating crabs or shrimp anywhere in the country except the east coast. I hate being disappointed since there's simply nothing like Old Bay for crabs and shrimp.

Now every area of the country has it's own food specialties, so I love real New York Pizza in NYC, and Lobster in Maine is fabulous, Salmon in Seattle is the best, and brisket in Texas is out of this world. So don't think I'm dissing your area of the country, because I've been there and loved your food. But I've learned not to buck the system, so crabs in Indiana are a big mistake and a hamburger in a Chinese restaurant is just wrong. That's why I always ask the locals about the type of food they eat at home, then that's what I look for in a local restaurant.

FYI: My twin brother is flying back from California to Maryland for our birthday party in June, and guess what he asked for on the b-day menu? That's right, a bushel of blue crabs plus shrimp steamed in beer and Old Bay. Yummm.

Are there any East Coast R-pod or FR events I should be aware of? Remember, I'm located in western Maryland.

Wow, many thanks, especially to techntrek and jmsokol. (And I have read jmsokol's articles on the other site, too) I just received my NCVT (the one techntrek just got), so I feel much safer. I also got the voltage tester that fwunder got. I am also insisting that my wife read and understand this stuff, too. We are both new to RVing.  THANK YOU!

Looked at the You Tube Video. Excellent. The speaker mentioned you may have an RV (RPod) that is not properly maintained. Explain?

The twist-lock on my pod went bad last year - not the ground though, it was either the hot or neutral.
