No cost to me but I will gladly spend the extra $25 and not be greeted by a pig lol Was the pig the one working on the motorhome? It doesn't matter if the shop is immaculate if the guy doing the work is unknowledgeable of what they are doing. Pig was just the door greeter. Although the actual mechanic looked like he could use a bath. Of course it matters if the shop is immaculate. Means they care. And if they can also repair it correctly then it's a win win. The immaculate shop was working on newer high end coaches while the other shop had all older coaches. Both shops fixed my coach correctly So the immaculate shop still wins overall774Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sticker shock

You can't just fire one up anywhere you please. You just proved it is asinine to believe everything people post on the internet. No ignorance on my part but more on yours for not knowing that i called directly and they said propane pits were fine. I didn't even say anything about what stage it was so more ignorance on your part Maybe you should look up fire restrictions first before claiming everyone's ignorance except yours. Stage II Fire Restrictions Prohibitions Building maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, charcoal, coal, or wood stove including fires in developed campgrounds or improved sites is prohibited. Persons using a device fueled solely by liquid petroleum or LPG fuels that can be turned on and off is permitted. Anything else?406Views0likes0CommentsRe: Boycott “No Campfires”

X3 Might as well not let people cook outside on their propane grills too. Even when we boondock in the middle of the forest with fire restrictions they still allow propane fire pits.404Views0likes0CommentsRe: Boycott “No Campfires”

Remarkably, even Florida has burn bans and frequent wildfires. Ya I get that. Should have put in a disclaimer about certain areas lol. But that would also go with the 2nd part of my comment, what about people smoking, in certain areas? As Dutchman was saying the butts are everywhere. We were visiting our daughter in san diego and they have gas fire pits by the ocean. "no cooking". Well we made smores. Lady makes a comment as she's smoking and there are cigar and cigarette butts in the fire and on the ground. All I'm saying is if you're going to stop kids from playing with fire then you have to stop adults from smoking. I don't like that smell just like some don't like campfire smell240Views0likes0CommentsRe: Boycott “No Campfires”

I'm just curious, not trying to start arguments - why did you arrive at this policy? Are you in a heavily wooded area? Not heavily wooded, but we do have some trees around. Montana law holds that the total liability for a forest fire will rest with the person or entity that started the fire. A forest fire can cost millions of dollars to extinguish. Plus a forest fire doesn't have to start in the middle of a dense forest, they often begin in clearings and we have areas where there are adjacent hillsides and bluffs with range grass that is tinder dry in the heat of the summer. But is really came down to in park experiences. Replace enough scorched and melted picnic tables and have a trash bin area catch on fire due to people dumping hot coals into a plastic trash barrel you start to think about changing things. Then you have a group of people with a propane pit allowing their children to ignite branches they have broken off the nearby trees. They then proceeded to allow them to dance around waving them as if they were Fourth of July Sparklers with embers flying everywhere. That is the time for a policy that puts an end to all the nonsense. We went full on no open flames because we didn't want to argue about what is acceptable and what is not. There are surely people who make other reservations due to that policy, but there plenty of people who either accept it grudgingly, don't care one way or the other (vast majority, I believe) or welcome it with open arms. It's been 10+ years and we haven't gone out of business yet. Kids can't play with ignited branches? I guess I can understand that in today's society but that was part of growing up and enjoying a campfire. I don't remember any of us burning down the village because of it. Do you ban people from smoking too? And not because they might be on fire241Views0likes0Comments- 240Views0likes0Comments
