morning from McAllen. this is a small board for Winter Texans, the folks who come down to the Rio Grande Valley and the coast every fall from Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, Michigan and the prairie provinces. three boards and that is all we plan to have.

Park life and the Valley is for parks, rates, potlucks, birding, weather, where to eat in Weslaco. Rigs, chassis and repairs is for the coach itself, the F-53 and the Sprinter and the trailer axles and whatever is leaking this week. Buying and auctions is the money side, dealers, private sales, repos and auctions. say what you paid.

rules. be decent to each other, most of us are retired and nobody needs a fight before coffee. no selling in threads, there is no classifieds board on purpose. if you work for a park or a dealer, say so under your name. if a post lands on the wrong board a mod will shift it over and say so.

no open signups yet, the bots are bad this year. use the contact address instead, say what rig you have and which end of the Valley you land in, and i will get you a login. most mornings i read it over coffee.

good. the big rv boards have a winter texan corner that is 90 percent the same question about the border checkpoint. i will try to keep the coach board honest. one ask, carol: can people put the chassis year and model in the title when they post a repair question. a 2004 V10 and a 2019 V10 are not the same engine and the answers are different.

added it to the about page, chassis year and model in the title on the coach board. we are at about forty accounts after five days, most of them still up north packing. welcome, all.
