RE: Horizon Slide will not open
We own a 2009 Itasca Horizon and recently could not close the passenger, bedroom side slide out. We got it closed by following the HWH procedure on retracting the slide, and then kept it closed until we got to our dealer. The problem turned out to be a short in the wiring harness behind things. The dealer found the problem, repaired the harness and installed two new solenoids. Problem is fixed. Do not try to do this yourself. Thank goodness we got the slide closed as we were leaving Florida heading back home to Maryland.

RE: Gasing Up with a Toad
Looking at your profile I see you seem to have a gas powered Class A, so truck stop diesel lanes are out for you. Join the Advantage Club with Flying J/Pilot and use their RV lanes for gas and get 1/2 price fee for using their dump station at the pump. Membership is free and it let's you pump first before going inside the main building. I think TA also has a frequent user club that is free and has benefits. But I agree with the other posts, use Truck stops when possible.

RV weekend camping April California coast
I have a friend who is flying to San Francisco on this Thursday, April 5th and renting a 25' Class C with his brother and 2 sons, ages 13 and 5. What would be an easy and fun trip for a 3 day weekend, starting in SF and returning to SF, with fun stuff for the kids and not a ton of driving for the adults.

RE: Glacier 2012
One more thing about East Glacier. There are only two restaurants that I would eat at, Johnson's and the one near the entrance to St.Mary's KOA I can't remember the name but it had a long, long wait to get in, so make sure you have provisions for your meals. Johnson's Restaurant was o.k. but not great. There are no major grocery stores at East Glacier.

RE: Glacier 2012
Last July, 2010 we stayed at East Glacier at St.Mary's KOA in a 40' motorhome. You can take the Jammer Red Bus Tour from the KOA to the Going to the Sun Road and leave the driving to the driver and the picture taking to you. KOA was better than the normal KOA and just a few minutes from the park entrance. Bring ponchos because the weather changes hourly. Also bring warm clothes. My wife wss wearing her winter coat at our campsite at night. Then south to West Yellowstone was a fantastic drive. If you can visit Nevada City and Virginia City, Montana if you are heading to West Yellowstone, do so. My wife and I thought this side trip to Virginia & Nevada City was one of the highlights of our 8,000 mile trip from MD to The Canadian Rockies and back.

RE: Between Yellowstone to Glacier
Try visiting Virginia City and Nevada City, Montana on the way from West Yellowstone to Glacier. We stayed two nights there last July on the way from E. Glacier to W. Yellowstone. They are restored old timey mining towns, Virginia City is touristy and Nevada City is a recreation of what the mining town looked like in the gold rush days. The two towns are right next to each other. It was one of the highlights of our trip. There is a campground about 3/4 mile outside of Virginia City, but I forget it's name. Good Luck

RE: Ocean City, MD
We just booked in August for 6 nights at Castaways...earlier times were totally booked. We will be paying over $ 80 per night We have a 40' Class A. Castaways is expensive but an excellent facility. If you can get a Club Castaways location, which is over $ 100 per night you have a private pool for that area, and about 5 crabbing docks and a two story deck overlooking the bay. Assateague Island is directly across the bay. There are kayak,personal watercraft and motorboat rentals at their beach. There is a free shuttle bus to and from Ocean City all day. It is about 5 minutes closer to OC than Frontier. We have grown kids so we don't want the water park facility. Also there is a nice 18 hole golf course about 1 mile from Castaways and the Castaways staff will drove us over to the course with our clubs. The course is Eagles Landing. Good Luck

RE: Suggestions for RV Parks around Jasper & Banff Natl Parks
We stayed at Banff and Jasper last July and stayed at Whistlers in Jasper, Tunnel Mountain in Banff. Both had full hookups and were in great locations. Also if you have a car with you or rent one, locally which we did check out the Canadian Hot Springs at Miette north of Jasper, the Banff Springs in Banff and Radium Springs in British Columbia on the way south from Lake Louise to Montana and Glacier. They are the best deals in Canada and be sure and get the AAA and Senior rates. Also for the campgrounds get reservations early.
