I agree I also use getpaint. If you want more complexity try The Gimp: http://www.gimp.org/ similar to the full version of Photoshop.

We also have a 2005 RB, No leaks and we tow a Jeep Liberty, maybe the Jeep behind the coach stops the harsh ride, I think our BF rides just fine and is easy to drive. No problems; best coach we have ever had, our last was a Chinook Concourse 20'.

It would be hard to rationalize spending a $1000.00 or more just to save a few bucks on propane! We had the 3-way refer in our previous Chinook MH and it did not work all that well (on 12v) it was able to somewhat maintain the cold but not nearly as well at either 110v or propane.

We have a 2005 24RB and run Redline synthetic oil in the engine and transmission. I change the oil (engine) once a year or every 15K miles whichever comes first and am using 5W-40 to replace the (in my opinion) to light 20W that is the mfg suggested (for 1/10mile better mileage). I do change out the...

Well the HWH jacks are great, especially when you set up camp in the rain! We have not had any problems with the jacks hanging down too far, must be how they install them in the first place. They do add more weight but then we don't have to carry a bunch of leveling blocks either.

Well the other thing about the iPad is it costs around $800.00 for the upgraded version but you can purchase a Netbook (same size screen and batterylife) for under $300.00 and have a "real" computer. Just my .02 cents worth!

We have an HWH leveling system on our 2005 24RB and it works just fine and is very easy to level. I can usually level the coach in less than a minute.
