There are alot of people that find the RV lifestyle difficult. Too long away from home is very hard for them. So, rather than saying they want to get back home, they come up with lame excuses.

Are you just replacing the fabric or the entire slide topper set-up? During the winds in Q this year we broke TWO "anti-bellowing" locks (the little "C-shaped" device on the end of the roller). The winds just blew up and under the awning, taking the metal lock with it. This was with our slides IN. We have A&E awnings and we can't add a permanent cover. Carefree makes a slide topper model that is a tear-drop shape that does not let the air under the roller. If you get a chance, talk to your awning guy and see if it is worth it to change styles at this point. We are going to wait until we have to replace the fabric to do ours. --CoolJudy ('07 Itasca Horizon) RE: awnings… Are you just replacing the fabric or the entire slide topper set-up?

We filed on line. IRS sent us our refund in 6 days. Sate of Illinois in about 8 or 9 days. Others are not as fortunate, but as someone said -- file an extension.

For something like $20, you get the software and one free electronic filing. The coolest part is, the second year you buy it, it will pull most of your information from your prior return. Not only that, it will compare the two returns to look for red-flags (such as numbers that change dramatically from one year to the next). When you are done, you press a button and file your return electronically and you're done. You either get a direct deposit of your refund in about 6 days or you can pay amounts due with a credit card along with the electronic filing. If you are worried about putting your identity out there, get an identity protection rider tacked onto your RV insurance policy. Or, just don't worry about it. As Bill Maher says, the days of privacy are over, if you want to keep your data private, you must get rid of your credit cards, phone, iPod and live in a cave in the desert. And, oh by the way, those are the people they're really interested in! :-) Download a tax package like TaxAct. For something like $20, you get the software and one free electronic filing.
