Re: Travel Trailer with soft spots on the floor
We also had a soft floor in entire forward section of TT. We cut out the wet wood and replace/fitted with marine plywood. The water was leaking in from truck back tires water splash into the TT. The forward TT under-section was not properly sealed.3.4KViews0likes0CommentsGrease Guns
What has your experience been in using a small grease gun to replace grease in wheel bearings? I have my bearings repacked every spring and last summer still had bearings burned out. No doubt they were repacked improperly. Our TT has "buddy boy" bearings set up so can easily apply extra grease in emergencies. My idea is to carry a small grease gun. Any recommendations on type of gun that has worked well for you?3.4KViews0likes16CommentsRe: Why so close? (CG site assignments)

Where we are now...a great CG: there are really only 3 rigs and the CG has MANY sites open...all in a row. Yet all 3 of us are next to each other..as in awnings almost touching. Luckily, the neighbors are all great, but it is puzzling since they could have spaced us 2 or even 5 sites separated. Yeah, I could have complained and demanded to be moved but I'm a nice guy and we were already committed..sort of..and will only be here 2 nights. I know that a critic will launch on that. Not just here...seems to happen a lot...at least to us. Maybe CG owners will read this. And, before someone asks, I mentioned it on rvparkreviews.com. I expect you were at the Meadows RV Park in Ketchum, ID. That is the way they operate. We asked why.... and were advised that the large rig pulling in next to us would spoil grass if they were elsewhere. Our rig is 16 feet; theirs was 36 feet. We no longer go to that park408Views0likes0CommentsRe: Licensing RVers---is it time?

Human skill, knowledge, hand-eye coordination, are still relevant regardless of how it's registered. Not knowing how to use air brakes is just as dangerous in a 40,000 pound Class A as it is in a 40,000 pound commercial truck. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a former truck driver and I keep my class A CDL current. It's always bothered me that there's no law to stop a 16 year old kid from getting into his dad's class 8 toter home with 40' toy hauler and heading across the country. I also believe that any driver, CDL or not, should have to take a road test every year after a certain age, maybe 75 or so. Yes, I agree that licensing "big" rig drivers would be appropriate for us and others on the road with us.322Views0likes0Comments
