RE: Can you really leave your RV at Walmart while sightseeing?
Guilty as charged. I'm a cheapskate yes, but the convenience is truly appreciated.
Hey Willie, you sure have a lot of nice toys for a cheapskate! ;)

RE: Can you really leave your RV at Walmart while sightseeing?
I would never have even thought to do that. In my book that is not what RVing is all about, it's simply the ultimate in being cheap! :(

RE: Looking for Adirondack ideas
Come up to Ausable Chasm in the northern NY Adirondacks. We keep a seasonal site there that we use as a base to travel from. The Chasm is fun to see and the ferry (rv friendly) to Burlington, VT is just down the road; lots to visit around there too.

RE: Where does the dinghy track when towed?
My Jeep toad will go wherever the motorhome is able to pass through. I don't have to worry about 'curbing' the toad if the mh clears.

RE: Sault Ste. Marie to Montreal, please help
There's the Montreal West KOA just off highway 20 west of Montreal. Never been there so I don't know anything about it but I've passed it many times. Likely the normal KOA standard (which works in my book).

RE: Crossing from Canada to US with grandchildren
why would new additional documents be required. couldn't you just include a statement about multiple trips in the first one?
bumpy
That's how it works at the borders around us. One notarized letter stating that the children can cross with the grandparents at any time. The kids need their own passport but no other documents.
What a great idea! We're going to inform our son and daughter-in-law about this. AFAIK, Canadian banks don't notarize documents, but I could be wrong. They could use the lawyer who handled their home purchase.
We use a local notary for anything like that; usually cheaper than a lawyer.

RE: Anything for a Buck, Right WINEGARD?
I think all of us that have aviation backgrounds do a final walk around as second nature. Is the best insurance you have.
Yup, it's second nature.

RE: Exterior Vent for Stove top
Mine is not directly vented directly to the outside however I have a roof vent with a Fantastic-Fan just beyond the stove area; seems to work well for us.

RE: insecure or inconsiderate
I've forgotten our yellow porch light on the odd time however I would not continue to stay in a campground that was lit a football field all night.

RE: Anything for a Buck, Right WINEGARD?
So my guess is you don't do a final walk-around check before you pull out of a campsite. Why blame Windgard?

RE: Why Some Areas Have Banned Boondocking
If you are going to talk about BOONDOCKING, then give us pics of a BOONDOCKING SPACE.
BLACKTOP PARKING or Wallydocking, or Urban Parking is only that.
You have have trees and rural space around your to boondock. You may be in a gravel pit, but you are in rural area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What you are talking about is just what obligations you have to a retailer and other customers in a urban parking lot
Calling that boondocking is an offense!!!!!!
You are talking about people doing a lot more than stopping for a rest from driving. Rudeness to others, yes. But a huge part of the rudeness here is the use of erroneous language.
I am a boondocker, I am NOT a blacktop parker.

Hey LK ... can I assume you weren't pleased! :B

RE: Maxxair Vent Cover too short?
Not sure why there is a fit issue. I have two automatic power fans under MaxxAir Fan/Mates and the covers open to the extent of the the electric motor limits.

RE: slides and levelers.
You need to find a manual for your unit; even different models within the same brand can have different instructions.
I have a Holoday Rambler Admiral (Monaco) and my manual states (in bold print) to extend the slide before putting down the leveling jacks. They want the slide to move while still on the chassis suspension.

RE: Passport Fees
Come on folks, a passport is good for 10 years.
Present cost $100 is only $10/year.
Proposed cost $135 is only $13.50/year.
Now any of us can afford that. Especially since it increases our security.
My thoughts exactly when I was reading this. At least you folks in the US get 10 years, our passports are only good for 5 years here in Canada.

RE: gas stabilizer question
You shouldn't have any problems after just 4-5 months. Actually the manual for my Onan 5500 genny uses 4 months as their cut-off for storage without using a fuel stabilizer.
I use Sta-Bil for any long storage period of gas in the motorhome (which include the Onan genny) and for my portable Honda 2000 genny. I use a 32-oz bottle for my 75-gallon tank.
If you put stabilizer in now, you really should run the motor and drive the motorhome to mix it well in; also run the genny for 30 minutes or so after the stabilizer is mixed in.
