European-style smooth-faced cabinets on a 5th wheel
We are not a fan of the classic "rail and stile" interior wood cabinets with all the routed edges etc. We like the look of the smooth faced high gloss cabinets you easily find in a motor home. You can also find them in an Airstream TT. Is anyone aware of a 5th wheel manufacturer who builds 5th wheel interiors that way?1.1KViews0likes1CommentRe: Hwy I-5 winter travel questions - Vancouver to Palm Springs
Thank you all for your excellent information. As an RV newbie I am so very pleased at the neighborly and helpful nature of nearly everyone we meet in our RV travels. We have certainly selected a great way to tour Canada and the USA. Thanks again! Gary398Views0likes0CommentsHwy I-5 winter travel questions - Vancouver to Palm Springs
We are RV newbies and with a few trips under our belt are planning a February trip to the Palm Springs area from Vancouver for a couple of weeks stay. We have lots of horse trailer towing experience but none of in winter conditions. We have driven cars and trucks for years in the snow having grown up on the prairies before coming to the coast. We have questions about winter travel on the I-5 from Vancouver towing a travel trailer (GMC 2500HD Duramax 4X4 with proper winter tires towing 24 foot bumper to hitch travel trailer 2014 Jayco White Hawk 20MRB with original tires): 1. Are chains required by local laws of WA, OR and CA for truck or trailer through the mountain passes we will traverse? 2. Are the ordinary trailer tires sufficient on the travel trailer under local laws of WA, OR and CA? 3. In which passes can we expect snow and which are the worst/easier? All help appreciated.3.7KViews0likes10CommentsRe: RV spot near Vancouver for newbie's first trip?

Sorry all, I forgot there is another Vancouver farther south. I'm talking about the one that just missed the NHL playoffs - Vancouver BC. And we are in south Surrey, about 45 minutes south of that.208Views0likes0CommentsRV spot near Vancouver for newbie's first trip?
We just took delivery of a 2014 Jayco 20MRB travel trailer and have a GMC 2500HD Duramax. We've never been campers and this is our first TT, although we are experienced horse haulers. We live in south Surrey and are looking for suggestions for a first place to set up camp for 2 or 3 nights. We are looking for a well-run place within 2 hours drive with full hookup (30 amp power, water and sani) minimum, plus any other goodies to help us ease into this e.g. wifi, cable, store, room service (just kidding) - whatever helps! It has to be pet friendly or we won't get a vote from our black lab. A scenic/hiking/tourist reason to be there would be nice as well. Basically we know we are going to encounter teething trouble with trailering but we'd like to take "camping in a bad spot" out of the equation. All help appreciated, especially that based upon first hand experience. Thanks all!1.2KViews0likes5Comments
