Re: Multiple blowouts in short time
I would recommend taking your trailer to a good truck alignment and axle shop in Houston. We had a similar problem with our tires and found RV dealers clueless. We are in Florida and are lucky enough to have a great truck frame and alignment shop in Orlando called Josam that does RVs as well. It was truly sad how poor our alignment was done out of the factory. Once our trailer was properly aligned, our issue with blowouts has disappeared. I hope I have not cursed myself by putting that statement in writing.464Views0likes0CommentsRe: Leesburg Florida area
It does not look like your motorhome will fit in any of the accessible sites in Lake Griffin State Park. This area is tough to find good sites. There is a park Fisherman's Cove at Lake Harris which is on the southern side of the lake. We were not impressed when we drove through it but it would do in a pinch for us. A really nice park, Grand Oaks RV and Resort, usually has availability unless they are hosting an event (horse shows and dog trials) is about 20 min (12 miles or so) north off of Hwy 441 in Lady Lake. We found it when we were looking for a place to attend a nearby dog agility trail. 50 AMP, FHU,paved roads and sites, small but excellent restaurant onsite, great hosts with selection of pull thru and back in sites although only a few sites have shade. Beautiful property with great views of the pastures from the campground. Price point runs about $50 a night. If I recall Southern Palms is okay it has been awhile. However, if I remember correctly the sites are grass unless there are some accessible sites that we missed. Not familiar with Holiday RV park.408Views0likes0CommentsNeed GFCI location for Carriage Cameo F35SB3
My outside electric outlet is no longer working along with my bathroom outlet and my microwave. All breakers are good. The GFCI located in the kitchen is fine and working. I seem to remember this happened in the past and there is another GFCI located in the RV that needs to be reset, but for the life of me it cannot be located. Anyone have any idea where the GFCIs are located in a 2008 Carriage Cameo F35SB3?1.1KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Campground near White Sands national monument
We also stayed at Boot Hill RV in Alamogordo. It was convenient to White Sands. Clean with plenty of room, but the usual barren desert landscape of the west. There was a nice Pistachio farm, Heart of the Desert across from it that was interesting to go see.286Views0likes0CommentsRe: FL to Yellowstone 10 weeks out west what to do?
I agree with all the other suggestions, but I would add one more. We loved the Grand Tetons actually in some ways more than Yellowstone. We spent a week there hiking and would live to go back. If you go to Rapid City, check out Rafter J as a potential campground. Wonderful campground and great hosts. Our old truck acting up there and we ended up staying longer than planned. They went out of their way to accommodate us. If you spend time in South Dakota, you may want to check out the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD. Good for a couple hours.107Views0likes0CommentsRe: ? Instant Pot Questions
I have the 3 QT Instant Pot for our RV for two of us. At home, I originally bought the 8 QT which comes in handy for company. Also, added a 6 QT to the mix at home for when there is just two of us. At home, we have more room in the frig to keep leftovers than in the RV so the 6 QT allows us an extra meal. Cannot speak in regards the knockoffs. We are very pleased with Instant Pot. I agree with espendydad that there are tons of recipes written specifically to Instant Pot time specs which is handy. Knockoffs may have size and pressure differences that may change recipe timing. Also, lots of Instant Pot accessories available.550Views0likes0CommentsRe: NOLA Park Recommendation
Well, Bayou Segnette State Park mets all of your qualifications, except it does not have Sewer hook up. You'll have access to free decent WiFi, good cellphone connection, free laundry, and long flat spacious sites. Some of which have nice wooden patios. It is quiet, but there are a couple of good restaurants nearby. We did not use their restroom facilities; however, we did hear that they were a little dated. There is some waterways in the park so bring mosquito repellent.119Views0likes0Comments
