Re: Can't bring TT home because of neighbors parking in street?
You'e the one that's going to lose if you get into a pissing match. All those days you're away camping, or even at home at night, your stuff is vulnerable. By taking any action other than politely asking for cooperation, you're inviting blowback - that could be minor or it could result in deep grief. Just asyin'.346Views0likes0CommentsRe: ON to PEI - Through the US or...?
Unless you want to go into Boston, I'd take the greyed out route. As for Canada/US route, I'd do one one way and the other return. We always try to maximize our trips by trying to take different to and fro routes although that's not always possible.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: St. John, NB to Gaspe?
The shortest route is from Saint John (not St. John) via Rte 7 to Oromocto, Rte 2 to St. Leonard, Rte 17 to Campbellton. Rte 2 is divided highway, Rte 7 is a major 2/3-lane highway, Rte 17 is a secondary roadway - paved 2 lane. I hope you're going to spend some time in NB other than along these highways. The St. John River (yes, St for the river LOL!) is beautiful and the tertiary routes along both sides (Rtes 102, 845, 705, etc) are recommended if you have a smaller vehicle for touring. All these roadways are accessible via motorhome or large trailer but would be more comfortable in a smaller vehicle. Other options for Saint John to Campbellton: 2) Rte 7 to Oromocto, Rte 8 to Miramichi, the 8 or 11 to Campbellton; 3) Rte 1 from Saint John to Petitcodiac, Rte 2 to Moncton then either Rte 126 or Rte 11 to Miramichi then as per 2. PM me if you need more details. I live just outside of Saint John.205Views0likes0CommentsRe: Needles Highway
dodge guy wrote: Yes you can. Tour busses do It all the time! Now Iron Mountains Road is tight and you cannot do it in an RV or even towing a trailer. But I followed a dually through the tunnels. I stand to be corrected but I thought buses could only navigate a few of the tunnels, meaning they couldn't do the loop and had to turn and return the same way they came in. That's what we were told when we were there in 2015 (Class B PleasureWay at that time). But... maybe we were misinformed. BTW, the Needles Highway was definitely one of the BIG highlights of our cross-continent trip.340Views0likes0CommentsRe: Add 110 receptical

He said there is no difference in the internal architecture between a 15A and 20A receptacles other than the shape and that the 15A part is built to carry the 20A load. He said that goes for all manufacturers and is an industry standard for their standard receptacles *of course they offer heavy duty versions). So maybe this is why the NEC allows 15A receptacles on a 20A circuit. Interesting...About 2 years ago we had a problem with tripping breakers and some receptacles being burned/scorched at our fairly new (<10 yrs)church. We had an electrician in and he verified that all wiring was up to code and in good condition. However he noted that all the plugs were 15A. I never even knew there was a difference between 15 and 20A receptacles. We purchased and changed all plugs to 20A. We've never had a breaker trip since.362Views0likes0CommentsRe: Bug removal from acrylic finish
Soak a towel in HOT water and lay it on the surface. Leave for about 20-20 secs and bugs will wipe right off. But it may as well remove wax. Alternatively, spray with a 50/50 soluntion of drug store peroxide and water solution. The peroxide will attack the protein in the bugs and foam up, just like it does when you put it on a cut. This will soften the bugs' shell and allow them to be removed easier - used it on my motorcycle windshield all the time. Peroxide will not harm your paint.292Views0likes0CommentsRe: Seeking advice on travel in maritime provinces
Just to avoid confusion... the "Maritime Provinces" are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. The "Atlantic Provinces" are those three and Newfoundland and Labrador. If you stay on the Trans Canada Highway in Newfoundland you'll see NOTHING but trees and hills (maybe the odd moose). You have to the leave the TCH to really experience the island. If you're going to Port au Choix then you'll pass through Gros Morne National Park - absolutely spectacular scenery. Visit both sides of Bonne Bay - Woody Point, Trout River on the south; Norris Point, Rocky Harbour on the north. Take the boat trip into Western Brook Pond.359Views0likes0CommentsRe: Crossing into Canada & back - what about on-board water?

Wells, Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach are all within about a half hour. You can stay in one place for three nights and see everything in that area. Ogunquit and Perkins Cove are nice but be aware it gets VERY busy in summer with bumper to bumper traffic at times.295Views0likes0Comments
