Re: Removing debris from slide out
A leaf blower works great if you're into lugging one with you. Just as long as you're not the guy who wants to hit the road at 7AM and fires the thing up at 6, right before running the stab jacks up with the impact gun, but after taking down the bug zapper that buzzed and popped the entire night. I was beside that guy last October. He also had to blow the falling leaves off every sq. ft. of his site onto the road and adjacent sites every 2 hours for the entire weekend. Kind of a losing battle in the middle of a state forest in October. Serves to remind one of why they like boondocking, so it can be a good thing.723Views0likes0CommentsRe: Is this forum dead?

Some of their moderators are also doosies when it comes to being oppressive JKoffs. Quite a few others around just as active also. This forum is populated by dinosaurs, so you have that correct, and the software used is also from the stone age.627Views0likes0CommentsRe: Yipping little dogs!! Ugh!!

Seriously? :h Having never been to any campground where barking/yappy dogs were permitted I assume it was not permitted where the OP was. :S Somewhere there has to be a campground with a rule worded something like..............Quiet dogs that do not disturb the peaceful camping experience of others are strictly prohibited. :h :h587Views0likes0CommentsRe: Know RV or campers association...

A group like the Sierra Club would prefer to ban RVs from public land and only allow hikers/backpackers. If I recall correctly, their position is to limit private vehicles going inside the most popular national parks and provide instead natural gas fed public buses. If ever, that would exempt RVsbecause, duh, we camp with our rigs. The traffic in Yosemite this summer is just terrible and it's really more convenient to us buses going around. Bus within the village is free and there are fare-based buses doing the longer routes. I actually like them as I can't actually do sightseeing while driving without endangering my family. I don't know what type of RV you have but when you arrive at the Sierra Club meeting be it in a class A/B/C or a TT or 5'r being pulled by a large diesel truck, or even a gasser, you're going to be the life of the party with these folks. Maybe they'll break out the ladders and rags and help you wax it. BTW, to quote you from before........"Again, this is not political." LOL404Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mat rant
Addy15 wrote: Well, we were on a grass site last week and I thought the same thing; no need for the mat. Maybe they had just mowed the grass there or something, but I started getting big clumps of grass coming in on the bottom of the shoes. Yep, the mat went out right away... We were there three days; the grass underneath the mat was fine when we left. That must be some super super grass.365Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mat rant
Where we host I have a 90 site loop that is almost all grass, more than half of those are totally grass, no gravel or other pads for the rig, put it where you want on the grass. I cut that grass and have not had any issues with the use of mats killing it. Worst case is a large yellowed spot if someone was there for a week or max 14 days. In those cases it all comes back in 2 or 3 days. Nothing to lose sleep over.307Views0likes0Comments
