RE: Blue Ox Aladdin v. Aventa to tow CR-V
I have an Aladdin and it works really well. It's a lot lighter to remove.

RE: Is HD TV That Important

MoishehWould that be the one with the 3-color film over the screen to make it a color tv? :B

RE: South Forty Campground in VA.
We stopped there a few years back when it was a KOA; nice place to overnight. It had a restaurant adjacent to it with great Italian food, don't know if it's still there.
Hope both are still open as I would like to stop there again next fall.

We've had that sign for 34 years now.

RE: How to hang a wooden sign
I use a small 4' plant hanger and hang our sign on it with a small bungee cord. The hanger is easy to plant in the ground with my foot wherever we go.

RE: Roof Vent Covers
I've had MaxxAir's on rv vents and fans for many years now. Our current rv has two MaxxAir Fan/Mates and I leave them open all camping season without ever having a drop of water come in. They are also open when we are driving.
The only time I close them a little is when it's cold in the fall and through winter storage.

RE: WILL COST OF FUEL DESTROY MOTOR HOME TRAVEL
In Quebec, we've been paying in the $5/gal (US equivalent) for gas here for over a year now. Even with the higher gas prices, rv sales have been brisk and campgrounds are full.
Personally, I haven't seen the effects fo higher prices on rv travel and unless things change dramatically I don't see any real changes going forward either.

As long as this is kept non-political and civil (as it has been), there's no reason to delete anything.

RE: Taking a Shotgun through Canada
Personally I would explain that I am going into a “KNOWN” bear territory in “ALASKA”. Make no inference about shooting a Canadian bear as they think more of their bear than they do of their beaver.
...............
Not really so, shooting a beaver would be like shooting a bald eagle. :S
It's important to note however that if you actually need to shoot a Canadian bear, you must first verify it's passport or birth certificate! :E. :B.

RE: Thinking About Calling It Quits
........... There are some more equations that are figuring in on my decision also. If I cannot resolve them I probably will not have any choice in the matter. Ronnie
I think the key lies within this and since none of us really know your situation, it would be impossible to realistically recommend a direction.
Like everything else in life things change. Maybe it's time to simply take a break; park the rv in a reasonably priced seasonal site somewhere and just enjoy having an address for a time. Like Sully indicated when things change (and they will) then change with them.
With your reference to itchy feet, I don't see how you would manage with a stick home when it would appear that your mind would still be on the road somewhere.
Good luck with whatever your decisions are.

RE: Courtesy Car at Rv Parks?
I also have never seen a courtesy car available at a campground. There are many campgrounds that offer a shuttle service or have tour arrangements to major visiting points.
We tow our toad about 50% of the time. Last Sepember we left the toad at home while touring around the eastern coast. While in Myrtle Beach, I called Thrifty and they picked me up and dropped me off at our campsite when I rented a car for 10 days. It worked really well.

RE: Other than outdoor showers, what don't you use (and why?)
We use everything but the oven. Never used the oven in any rv.

RE: Height of Carports and RV's?
Point of reference; my motor home is 12' 9" to the top of the ac's. Personally, I would want about a foot above that.

RE: Fall Vermont Trip
Just a note on the reservations.
We're not in Vermont but in up-state NY across the lake from Burlington Vt. Our campground, where we have a seasonal, was full Columbus Day weekend. Several of the campgrounds in the region closed or had limited availability after hurricane Irene and the other campgrounds absorbed the camper traffic. Some of the closed ones may not reopen.
Another factor is that the same weekend (Columbus Day) is also the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday. As such many border state campgrounds are busy due to the holiday.
My advice is to call ahead or make reservations if you will be in the northern regions of the border states over the holiday weekend.

RE: square head screws vs phillips head
I never saw a difference in torquing either one. My personal preference is Robertson for ease of use.

RE: Is your Dash A/C enough in the summer while driving?
Dash is ok up until after 80-85 degrees or so ambient temperature and for a couple hours. After that the genny and roof air comes on.
