Eric, I sent you a PM.
Larry,
Got it and just replied.
It is now working sporadically for me too; sometimes ok, sometimes not.

RE: Highway Restrictions - NH to SC
..........
As a side note, you might want to check the weight of your trailer and the towing capacity of your Thor. Most gassers are rated between 3,500 and 5,000lbs towing. Depending on what's in your trailer, you may be close to the limit.
......l
As stated by Jim above, this is really important to know especially if you are new to the Class A world. My HR Admiral is only rated to tow 5,000-lbs.
What would you be towing on the trailer?

Good to know about know about no propane through the Baltimore tunnel. We haven't been through it for many years now.

RE: Bristol Race Camping
We were at the August night race last year and we camped in The Landing area; it was full. I really don't like the generic cars either but I do think the track mods will mix things up again.
The stands were pretty full for the August race, attendance was somewhere around 155,000 but the race was a yawner.

RE: Highway Restrictions - NH to SC
There's nothing anywhere along I95 that would be a restriction. You may have to shut off propane if you go through the Baltimore tunnel.
Not sure where you are starting out, but we ourselves avoid the NJ Turnpike/Baltimore/Washington areas because of usually very heavy traffic.
I typically go one of two ways depending upon what we want to see. First is NY I87 to I88 (Albany) then onto I81 south to highway 66 in Virginia and onto highway 17 to I95 at Fredericksburg. The second way is I87 to I287 (Newburgh) and onto I78 west to I81 then follow above.

RE: Niagara Falls ?
Our passports expire in November, just sent in our applications for Nexus cards. $50 for 5 years is better than the passport. We only travel to the US, so we don't really need passports to go anywhere else.
The Nexus cards work really great, being pre-approved makes crossing very easy. Needless to say, driving past those long summer border lines is great fun. :B

RE: Vaccums
We have a Eureka Yellow Jacket central vac mounted on a side wall in one of our storage bays. It works great and really doesn't take up very much space at all.

RE: Visa Help
We've been traveling almost exclusively in the US for the past couple of years. I've found that gas stations close to interstates usually do not require a zip code. If I hit one that does, I will go inside and pre-pay a set amount that I know I will reach.

RE: Memory Foam Topper Odor?
Let it air out for a few hours and after it is covered with a mattress cover and a sheet you should not notice any odor. That's how it went with our's.

RE: Niagara Falls ?
This is from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website;
Land or Sea Travel: U.S. citizens entering the United States by land or sea are required to present a valid WHTI-compliant document, which include:
Passports
U.S. Passport Cards
Enhanced Driver's Licenses
Trusted Traveler Cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST)
Military Identification Cards (for members of the U.S. armed forces on official orders)
U.S. Merchant Mariner Document (for U.S. citizens on official maritime business)
Military personnel traveling under orders may present photo ID and orders. Family members must present a passport (with the exception of children 15 and younger arriving by land or sea.)
Children: U.S. citizen children ages 15 and under arriving by land or sea from a contiguous territory may present an original or copy of his or her birth certificate (issued by the Vital Records Department in the state where he or she was born), a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Naturalization Certificate. If the child is a newborn and the actual birth certificate has not arrived from the Vital Records Department, we will accept a Hospital issued birth certificate.
This is from the Canadian Border Services Agency website;
Non-Canadians
When you enter Canada, a CBSA officer may ask to see your passport and a valid visa, if one is necessary. If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, as well as photo identification. If you are a permanent resident of Canada or the U.S, you should bring your Permanent Resident Card with you

RE: Tie Downs On Electric Awnings
John,
Not all electric awnings are supposed to roll up on their own, only those with an auto retract feature. My Carefree Eclipse does not have that option. What it does have however, is the arm system permits it to billow back towards the coach which then releases the sail effect.

RE: Tie Downs On Electric Awnings
IMO, it all boils down to what type of awning. We have a carefree Eclipse electric and if it does not have the wind sensor, it can be tied down.....straight from the rep in Quartzsite. The Eclipse is designed & built to withstand wind up to about 50-60 mph without being tied down or retracted, but it does make a lot of noise when it billows and then collapses back to the normal position. I have had ours out in 40+ winds without any failure. Also, we do occasionally tie it down with 2 claws tie downs, but not necessary.
Same for mine. It just billows back and lets the air escape to prevent damage.
When we're at the beach it can get pretty windy and noisy inside the coach pretty much all the time so I generally just bring it in.

RE: CAMPGROUNDS WITH SEASONAL SITES
This is an interesting topic. I know that where we have our seasonal, I would never have wanted to be there about 10 years ago. Back in the 80's and early 90's, it used to be a nice KOA and we tented there when the kids were young.
It then changed management and went straight down the tubes, folks were moving in and building add-ons, large storage shacks and generally junk everywhere. KOA pulled out and the place was on the verge of closing.
About 6-7 years ago, the originaly owners got involved again and put a new management team in and they have turned things around. There is now only a limited number of seasonals, no more add-ons, seasonals are only permitted a flat decking platform, not other 'buildings' can be on your site. They have a full time crew cleaning, cutting grass, brush and doing other maintenance.
It's now a place that I'm proud to welcome friends and family to visit us when we are there.

RE: CAMPGROUNDS WITH SEASONAL SITES
What is a seasonal site? I'm guessing from this conversation that it is a site where people can stay for the entire season? How does that work, and why would they set sites aside for that purpose?
For us it's a campsite that we 'rent' from mid-May though October every year. It serves both as our storage site for our motorhome and our place to camp each week when we're not traveling. We get to use the rv a lot more this way.

RE: CAMPGROUNDS WITH SEASONAL SITES
Where we have a seasonal in up-state NY, there are 175 sites of which only 20 are set as seasonals. Personally I enjoy walking around and talking to different campers come in for weekends and vacation. I do see quite a few repeat customers throughout the summer.
We also get to travel several weeks a season and I enjoy going into transient campgrounds with more visitors than seasonals.

RE: Buyers Remorse??
I've had a couple new rv's and buyer's remorse in some form appears to be a natural reaction at the first hint of a problem. Believe me, it all goes away after that first day on the road and you're now sitting around a campfire. :C
