RE: Taking a Shotgun through Canada
I took a shotgun in 2010 and when asked why I was taking it I told him it was protection from bears.When I had finished he asked is that the only reason and I said yes.He told me if I had said protection from people I couldn't take it.I kept mine in the clothes closet with a trigger lock in place and the shells in my sock drawer.

We went to Canmore to the vet while camped at Banff, it was 17 miles one way, I would not want to be there unless I could not get into the national park campground.
As I recall magnusfide was looking for recommendations for a campground NEAR Banff.
Your input was no help except to criticsize!

RE: welded or bolts
On my first boxed frame they were welded on by the camper dealer.My current truck has the clamp around the frame brackets but both methods work.Dodge has or had the instructions on how to properly drill the frame when the boxed frame came out.

RE: Day/Night Shades
MTPockets1,You are going to find that most day/night shades are too tight which causes the strings to wear and break.I read the proper adjustment is just tight enough so they stay up but I want mine just a little tighter.Bighorn shades have knobs as N6761U stated with small screws on both bars almost like the one below.
Hope this helps

RE: Day/night Shades
In 7 years, touch wood, I've not had a string break on my D/N shades. The damn little plastic anchors are another story, however...

I had the pleasure of stringing the one in the rear of ours a few weeks ago.It was the biggest shade but once the mechanics were learned it wasn't that hard.I think some shades are put up to work too tight causing some of the failures.

RE: Slide Awnings and Snow
We camped in the snow on one trip but it wasn't by choice.We were on our way back to the factory early last year and my calculations told me we were runnning early so we decided to stay at a campground for a few days.During that time it snowed and since the slides were warmer than the outside air the snow had turned to ice on top of them.If I had toppers it would of made things a lot easier and quicker.

RE: Water heater problems
Your going back to the dealer for the mattress so let them fix the water heater while it's there.You might as well look at everything including cosmetics inside and outside and get them all fixed at once.

RE: Stupid Paint Question
I am especially interested in whether paint offers significantly more protection from drippy trees, both in terms of moisture and tree sap. I'll probably leave a fiver in a coastal RV park all summer, in their long term storage, and move to a spot when I come out for weekends and vacations. But its long-term storage location is surrounded by drippy pine trees.
Full paint or not I wouldn't store my rig that is surrounded by drippy pine trees as pine tar is just too hard to remove.Who am I kidding ?,we spend most of our time in our 5th wheel so there is no reason to store it.

RE: Buyer Beware
I would of called the salesman that you were dealing with back and told him you had found a deal that was just about as sweet as they had offered you.I wouldn't offer him any information on who,where or a dollar amount and tell him to have a nice day and hang up.

RE: Generator Question
One other thing, I wish the companion had a RV outlet, not the contractor's outlet. It would make it that more streamlined not having to put an adaptor on it.
I don't know if this would help you but it sounds like all your wanting is one plug.

RE: A warning to all campers
I'm glad some of you cleared the tree situation up for me and tree trimming up to 10' sounds about right for some campgrounds.It's a shame they don't keep them trimmed up higher than that.I don't think I want to stay at any campground that doesn't take any pride in keeping the grounds up especially the trees trimmed.

RE: A warning to all campers
This roadway was lined with trees no higher than 10’ where our RV is 13’ high. Needless to say, I had to forge ahead, slowly, but that did not help. The trees ripped off our antenna and vent cap from the top of the camper. I also received cosmetic damage to the front, top, sides, and tires.
If the trees were no higher than 10' I would like to know how it did all the damage to the top of your camper ?.
