Re: 921 Wedge Tower LED Bulb 250 Lumens
Thank you Almot, You are correct. I should have said Cob type. I had picked up a couple of Next Wave LED 5050 27 SMD 8-30V warm white bulbs from local Batteries Plus store for $20 each, and the color and brightness are similar to the 921 incandescent bulbs. When searching online, most of the LED bulbs are spec'd at 12V, and do not indicate a voltage range such as 8-30V like the Next Wave LEDs. I assume I should be looking for LEDs with a voltage range?557Views0likes0Comments921 Wedge Tower LED Bulb 250 Lumens
Been searching the web for reasonably priced LED bulbs similar to 921 Wedge Tower LED Bulb with +/-250 Lumens to replace 22 of my incandescent bulbs in my 5er, but most of the online sellers do not provide the lumens spec. Could any of you who have replaced your incandescent bulbs with LED share where you purchased them from and what the price was? I did buy a couple of the LED tower bulbs from a local Batteries + Bulbs store, and they work great, but they were $20 each.

We did that same trip from Galt, CA to Bridge Bay CG in Yellowstone NP in July 2008. It was a about 925 miles one-way. O-Nighted in Elko NV going & coming. Spent 12 nights at Bridge Bay CG and took our time touring the park. My brother went with us, and towed a 32' 5ver with his 2003 F250 diesel, so I don't believe you will have any problems towing your trailer with your truck up & down any of the mountain grades along the route in both directions. I recommend you tow with a full water tank since you will be towing along long stretches of desert on I-80. Our route both directions was: I-80 to Wells, NV US-93 Wells, NV to Twin Falls, ID I-84 Twin Falls to Pocatello, ID I-15 Pocatello ID to Idaho Falls, ID US-20 Idaho Falls, ID to jct with US-89 in the park Jct US-20 & US-89 to Norris Canyon Rd (connector bwtn Grand Loop Rd segments) Norris Canyon Rd to Canyon Grand Loop Rd South to Bridge Bay CG Have a fun trip. The wild flowers should be starting to bloom in early July. -Eric500Views0likes0CommentsRe: My beloved Komfort brand is no more :(

Sad to hear...I guess IF (and it's not going to happen) we were to buy another TT, we would look to Arctic Fox now that Komfort is gone. x2...We love our 2007 Komfort Trailblazer that was built in Clackamus Oregon. It has been a relatively trouble-free unit.915Views0likes0CommentsRe: how do national parks measure the length of a 5th wheel?

Who here has *personally* , that is no hearsay, not a conversation overheard in the barbershop, but personally had someone from the campground break out a tape measure and measure your rig. In over 35 years of camping I have never had that happen nor have I ever had someone tell me it really happened to them. Urban legend me thinks. It's on my list of stuff to worry about but I'm afraid it's in last place. I'm right there with ya! At Grover Hot Springs SP, they have lines painted on the pavement at the entry kiosk that are 24' apart, and if your hitched trailer length measured from rear bumper of TV to rear bumper of trailer does not fit within the lines, you are not allowed entry. Don't believe me? Call the park ranger at (530) 694-2248. About 10 years ago when I had a 26' TT, I was refused entry to the campgrounds there. While there are plenty of sites in the CG that a 28' to 35' trailer will fit in, the CG roads are narrow with sharp turns, and lined with a lot of boulders and trees.835Views0likes0CommentsRe: how do national parks measure the length of a 5th wheel?
The Calif State Parks have varying max length restrictions for trailers. The length is based on distance from rear bumper of the TV to the rear bumper of the trailer. So a hitched 28' 5ver that measures 23'-11" from rear bumper of TV to rear bumper of the 5ver will be allowed where the park's max trailer length is 24'.839Views0likes0Comments
