Re: First exprience with RA -- not the best ... but
K3MMB I feel your pain!! I had almost an identical issue with RSA. The major difference being that dispatch actually didn't know what a 5th wheel trailer was. I kid you not, this girl sincerely did not know that a 5er was. I had one heck of a time convincint her that it was not a semi trailer. In fact she thought I was kidding her!! Long story short, I was in the same situation and could not get my camp side slide to retract. I had to be back to work the next day and could not get through to RSA so I made arrangements, and payment, to leave the trailer in the site. I finally got to talk to a dispatcher and after at least 20 minutes of discribing what a 5th wheel was she agreed to dispatch some assistance. About 15 minutes later I get a call from a fellow asking me where my semi was broke down. My wife was beside herself with laughter but I was not amused at all. I managed to get the slide in myself after much toil and frustration and got it to a dealer. Trust me when I say that I was not long cancelling my subscription. I cannot really blame the dispatcher but moreso the training department. Back with AMA.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Traveling from Glacier National Park to Dawson Creek, BC
I agree with trigley. Not much to see from Glacier to Calgary on Hwy 2. 22 is much nicer. I suggest taking 17 through Chief Mountain and to Waterton and Pincher Creek. Head north from there on Hwy 3 for a spurt and then hook up with Hwy 22. Turn left on the Trans Canada just west of Calgary and enjoy the view. Have fun!! And I wouldn't worry about any height restrictions. Just a note that it can get a little windy in them parts so just be aware. Check out Denise's Bistro in Pincher Creek if you get the chance.542Views0likes0CommentsRe: Canadian Full Timers and Insurance
I really don't have much to suggest other than the obvious such as AMA Travel and Blue Cross. I will be watching closely though as we are contemplating doing the same in the next couple of years and are trying to gain as much info as possible. Congratulations on the move and all the best of luck. The Yukon is absolutely breathtaking by the way. The restaurants in Whitehorse are amazing and the history unforgettable. Take the White Pass train ride if you get the chance. It's unbelievable.389Views0likes0CommentsRedwood or Solitude?
Hey folks, we are looking at upgrading to a new 5er and have narrowed our decision down to two rigs, a Solitude and a Redwood. Both are about the same price and are both new. The Redwood is a 36RL and the Solitude is the same floor plan. The Redwood has more features and seems higher end. Which is the better buy??11KViews0likes33Comments
