Stop payment on a check for a motorhome that was just purchased from us?

We just sold our 1991 motorhome and we were very honest with the issues that were related to it. They came and gave us a bank drawn check and our bank verified funds, then we went to the DMV with them and after they left us it broke down and now they’re threatening us with stopping payment on the check, etc. What are our rights? It’s totally registered to them now. And he’s saying that’s the reason the check was written like it was…not certified…so there’d be a 3 day grace period in case anything went wrong with the rv. Can you help? We don’t know where to turn.
I need to add that the check was made out to me, my husband, and the buyer. We all signed it and then deposited it in my account. Therefore we can not take the check to their bank and cash it. And now the buyer is threatening to stop payment on the check becaust the rv broke after he took possesion of it. There were no warranties offered by us or anyone else and they never had an independent mechanic look at it. Again, we were very honest with the issues that the rv has…but it has been sitting in storage since October…we have not driven it at all since we parked it in storage.

Does anyone know what i can use to clean off the canvas of a pop up camper i just got?

I got this pop up camper and the inside of the canvas is a little moldy. Not real bad but light black all over inside. I need to find something that will clean it off that dont need to be rinsed since i cant very well spray the hose in there. Thank you

Does living “off the grid” just refer to solar power or wind mills?

I’m looking for a piece of property in northern Fla./southern Ga. I want to make it as self sufficient as possible. Growing my own vegetables, raising my own protein sources and such. I’ve looked into solar power and wind mills as power sources. Both seem feasible but which is best? Also is there anything else I can/should do? I plan on living there the rest of my life and any suggestions are welcome.

I just realized I stained my wood patio furniture with interior stain… what now?

I stained the furniture with Minwax oil based stain in a dark jacobean color. I haven’t finished it with poly…yet. Everything is covered in case it rains tonight…

What’s the best way to convert a Toyota Hiace Van into a simple camper, just a bed and storage needed really?

Pretty hard question to answer briefly I know but just wondering if anyone has experience converting a Hiace van into a camper?? All we really need is a bed that can be folded away and storage space for camping equipment. Cheers in advance.

Where is there a great place to go camping in Wisconsin? or nearby? (read details below before just answering)

Me and my buddies are planning to go camping for our spring break but only have 4 days where we can fit it into our schedules. We are trying to find a place that we can have a lot of fun while not being crammed next to another campsite or being right next to other campers. We don’t want a place with a ton of families and little kids because we’ll probably be up late and would probably get in trouble/kicked out. So maybe a little more primitive, and not so commercial like the wisconsin dells. any ideas?? oh and our spring break is the 2nd week in april. thanks in advance for the help!! :)
well if it will be too cold to go camping in wisconsin. what are some other cheap ideas that we can do in 4 days?

Did I misread what “southern hospitality” means or is it just a big fat lie?

They say that people down south are supposed to be nicer, kinder and more considerate than people up north but so far, after living in a deep south town for more than five years of my life I believe I either misread that statement or I just seriously misunderstood it, maybe someone can explain.

(I live in a deep south town)

here is a little background info:

I am a 17 yr old Asian American male (high school senior) and after living in the south for over five years of my life I have found that people here are very bigoted towards those who are different, loud and sound like wild monkeys, rude and have no manners at all, hate liberal views and hate the idea of interracial dating, are openly racist, sorry to say but most people here have bad reading skills and are not aware of whats going on in the world, most hate diversity and openly say racial things to Hispanics and Asians down here and a lot of them believe that the bible is the ultimate educational guide.
I have only met nice people at my high school but that is because we recruit good students.

I don’t know where the idea of southern “hospitality” comes from but I am obviously confused, if anything, in my travels I have met nicer people in NYC, California, Massachusetts and the upper midwest than here. Hopefully I don’t have to live here for the rest of my life.

Is it safe to say we should just flush yesterday down the toilet?

I’m thinking we should. Let me tell you about yesterday:

I went to go to the bank to make a deposit, then on the way home the transmission went out in my van. I puttered all the way home at 5mph or less, while cars behind me honked and cut around me.

When I got home, I called the transmission shop (since a tranny is the only thing I can’t work on) and the repairman told me my car isn’t worth repairing.

I called another shop, and that guy will told me he cannot quote me a price until he has removed the transmission from the vehicle to inspect it…which will cost me $175 labor.

I told him he was a phallus, and he hung up on me.

Welcome to my world. So…does anyone here know how hard it is to swap out an A413 transmission on a Chrysler K-car? Maybe I can find a rebuilt one somewhere and put it in myself. I’m no stranger to car repairs. I can easily swap CV axles, replace motor mounts, and overhaul a simple engine while it’s still in the vehicle.
