Van De Camps Beanie Weenies or Sarah Palin?

(This question is brought to you by Van de Camps! Mmmm!)
Beanie Weenies come in a small can with a pop top for convenience. It contains a lightly sweet tomato base with slow cooke baked beans among the base. The weenie is chopped up and mixed in with the beans. You should use BEANO afterward.
To those “stick in the muds” who say I am being juvenile—–I say:

Get a sense of humor like your boy McCain!

Is it bad to let a vehicle idle for 8 or more hours?

Posted: July 17th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Q & A | Tags: , , , | 6 Comments »

I have an older motorhome on a Chevy full-size van chassis and I can’t get the LP furnace working. Next month some friends and I are going to some pretty remote locations to watch an off-road rally and we’re just going to camp out there. This time of year, temps are rarely above 50 farenheit during daytime and usually below freezing at night. If I can’t get the furnace working, I’ll either have to run the engine (which seems brutally inefficient) or use the stove (which is flat out unsafe). In the past I’ve heard it could cause carbon buildup in the engine, but I can’t see it being too severe. I’d say I have an above-average knowledge of automotive engines, and I can’t really think of any ways that it might be harmful…..
The furnace has me baffled, I can’t find any way to light the pilot, it’s a pretty contained unit, no doors or panels really. The model year is 1982, so it doesn’t seem likely that it has a self-ignition. I know there’s gas in it because the gauge shows 25% and the stove works.

Although it does have a freshly rebuilt engine (a 305) that runs extremely well, the disadvantages in the answers have me convinced. I’ll either look up a RV dealer or look into one of those tent heaters. Or pack LOTS of blankets LOL Thanks!
the furnace works like a charm, a small miracle considering it’s 25 years old! turns out it is self-igniting, all i had to do was turn up the thermostat until it clicked, then wait about a minute and it fired right up! nice hot air too! WOOO!

Product Description
Yellowstone National Park is the focal point of Wyoming tourism; however, there is so much more if you know where to look. From rolling prairie, to badlands, to deep forests, to high mountain lakes, and breathtaking peaks, Wyoming’s diverse landscape is second to none. In addition, the Wyoming plains contain a rich history of pioneer trails that served as the gateway to the west throughout the 19th century. Most Wyoming travel guides are written to explain tourist attractions in detail once you are already there and require much time and effort to plot a course across the state. This remarkable guide, on the other hand, has the entire state laid out by the highway mile markers so you will always know what is ahead and exactly how to get there. The book is laid out in a clear and concise report style format with brief descriptions, condensed information, and a star rating system that allows you to easily make informed decisions about what to visit.
