We are at Braunig Lake RV Park in Elmendorf, just a bit south of San Antonio. No snow here yet but it's been just as cold here as anywhere else in the North Valley area. In light of the forecast, the Park cut off the water 2 days ago and gave us plenty of time to prepare. We have uninterupted 50 amp at the post, 3 toe heaters that are working splendidly and thanks to the hydronic heat, plenty of hot water. We do put on the Aqua-hot in the early AM if necessary. I bought this electric throw last summer and the wife laughed at me but she has now become
silent. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

The only real problem is the d@#^* Microphor. Can't wait to get it out of here.

It's crummy weather over most of the US. Many of our members live in the affected path of this storm. Even Australia, where we have a resident member, got hit by a Cat 5 typhoon.

Mike: I'm running a 30amp circuit, but only have a 15amp connection so every so
often when I have loaded it steady, I have to replace the female connector as it
get burned up.

Yeah Wallace, Thedford is looking like one of the good ones. Did you drop it
thru the floor or put it out the back?
