Re: Campgrounds in San Diego, LA & San Fran for Minivan Camping
I realize now my biggest hindrance is that I am flying by the seat of my pants not having specific dates far enough out and so many of these places have told me that they are already booked, but to check back for cancellations. FYI: Dockweilers would be ideal, but they only let you stay there if you have a vehicle that is designated as a recreational vehicle. My camper minivan does not qualify :-( Least I now know what the defining criteria is at the RV parks. Thank you to all who responded. I am going motel.333Views0likes0CommentsCampgrounds in San Diego, LA & San Fran for Minivan Camping
We are road tripping to California and I am having a heck of a time finding good campgrounds under $80 where we can stay I have a Minivan that we have modified and added a tent on to the back. So, I am guessing we will be okay to list ourselves like a Pop-up? Any suggested campgrounds would be wonderfully helpful! Thank you ;-) Samantha1.3KViews0likes7CommentsRe: RV Roof Reseal
Yeah...when I got off the phone with the service dept., I started thinking...what does "reseal" actually mean? I've paid $180 for them to "inspect" the roof and never thought to ask them what that entails? Better be the whole 9-yards I have since researched should be happening on an inspection. So...I will definitely ask these important questions. Thanks for the advice on the dicor products. I managed to install a Maxair Hood in the middle of Crater National Park, ID. I think I can do this other stuff as well. The guide is a huge help! I was wondering where the heck those dark streaks were coming from. Thank you!206Views0likes0CommentsRV Roof Reseal
I had my 2-year old camper's annual roof inspection by the dealership and they say the roof needs to be reseal. The cost is $325. FYI...the roof is a rubber material and we live in SC and I have not had an rv cover on it. I keep thinking, if I do the reseal myself, I could put that $325 towards a proper rv cover. However, the reseal brings up many questions. 1) They say it needs a reseal. What, if any, questions should I ask the service department? Like...show me where it needs to be resealed? 2) When they reseal, do they remove the prior seal and reseal or do they just add more caulk over the former seal? Seems I can do that myself? 3) From those of you who have done this before, is it a pain in the ass that I should just go ahead and pay to have done properly or is it one of those...I-really-should-have-done-it-myself...kind of things? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh! And the sun has totally torched my decals...so I may ask for them to go ahead and remove those while they are at it. Just the ones at the very front - all cracked and peeled. I tried and I am worried I will mess up the fiberglass. Were they just cheaply made and applied or does everyone have that problem? Thanks everyone! Samantha9.4KViews0likes20CommentsRe: Towing 6355lbs/Yukon designed to pull 7,300 - Need advice
Bikendan > good to know, but is there anything I am supposed to use that value for? APT > What is a WDH? I have the kind of sway bars you hook in from underneath and secure with chain and also a resistance sway bar. Very solid setup. Oh...hWDH means Weight Distribution Hitch. I have that! I do have a brake controller, but it is like a little dial that I nudge ever so slightly to get the right resistance. I am guessing you are suggesting something stronger? So...with this setup and given the other info...under 6K will be a safe, non-white-knuckling experience? Samantha676Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing 6355lbs/Yukon designed to pull 7,300 - Need advice
MPond...I see what you are saying. I do understand. I am fully trying to understand this complex issue. I've posted things in the past (in this and other forums) and had the topic diluted into other issues as people got heated about stuff...so I was trying not have it veer off topic. My apologies, if I, myself, came off as sounding rude. Samantha676Views0likes0Comments
