Looking at buying a portable black tank - suggestions?
We are looking at buying a portable tank in order to be able to dump our tanks when staying at a site for more than 7 or 8 days without sewer hookup. Our black tank is 50 gallons and the largest one I see is 42 from Barker. I know some will say that we could use the facilities at the camp ground, but much prefer our own. Thanks for any input.

I absolutely agree with DrewE on using I-81. When I go to New England that is the route I use. No cities except to go through Hartford and I know to get through there between 10AM and 3PM during the week. It is a little longer overall, but a much more peaceful drive and definitely less stressful.354Views0likes0CommentsRe: roadside assistance
Switched to Good Sam just recently. Tried to use my Coach Net back in May and they said my subscription had expired. Well I was sure it was good through July, but dealt with getting the tire changed with the help of a couple of other travelers. Once I got home and was able to go through my records I found that it actually was supposed to be good until July. Needless to say I was not a happy camper and decided on switching to GS.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Front Living Room and/or back raised LR 5'r floorplans

We always do research about where we are headed to determine if we will have any issues with the route we wish to take. You will want to use truck stops for fuel when towing the trailer for ease of getting in and out. Most gas stations aren't designed for refueling of trucks towing big trailers. As of yet we haven't run into any situation where we couldn't navigate through.389Views0likes0CommentsRe: Front Living Room and/or back raised LR 5'r floorplans
We have a Solitude 379FL that is 42' long. Have stayed in a couple of state parks and also some private camp grounds. We would not fit on all sites, but every place we have stayed had spaces plenty deep enough for us to safely back into or pull through. As for drive-ability I do not have any issue, you just need to take your time and realize that you have to swing wide enough to get around corners.117Views0likes0Comments
