I wish certain other things around here had an anti-gravity guarantee!

I'm betting that NASA would be very interested in one (or more) of those. LOL

Now that I'm stuck at home and can't go camping, it's time to take the anti-gravity machine out of the garage and test it along with my perpetual motion machine and cold fusion reactor.  Confused

Be sure to only use room temperature superconducting wire when hooking all that stuff up, none of it will work right with copper cables.

I am selling a berillium sphere if you need a little extra pumping power. You'll be able to clean out the tanks at warp factor 4

I was going to use my jumper cables attached to the trailer battery bank.

Accept no substitutes, only superconductors will work properly for that kind of gear. If you don't have a cryogenic system on hand I can hook you up with some unobtainium that's superconducting at room temperature. Its left over from a cancelled contract with CERN after they decided to go old school with liquid helium. CERN ended up cooking off a couple of their big dipoles after they had a helium leak. 

CERN's loss is your gain. This Pandoran unobtainium is fully refined and ready for final fabrication, at the bargain basement price of $40 mil per kilo. As the unobtainium is currently in the possession of a Nigerian customs official only a modest advance fee will be required to expedite its export from that country to the US. When you are ready I can send you the banking information for his account on the Isle of Man.

We are new to this site. We purchased a 2009 RP-172 last year. We absolutely love it...except for the soft floor which, I've read, is a common problem. We are retired sailors so are now taking our adventure on land instead of sea.
We will be putting a new floor on top of the existing one this year.

Welcome to the forum.

As former sailors I'm sure you're familiar with the causes and insidious nature of wood rot so will sort out that potential issue before laying a new floor on top of the soft one. Good luck!
