Re: any changes coming?
Let's not sugar coat this; lol, yea, it sucks. Deaf ears. It's one of those times where the office made a decision, and they're going to stand by that choice all the way to the bottom. Probably too late for a fix, which probably should be rip the band aid off, suck it up, and purchase a proper forum. Probably too late...763Views3likes0CommentsRe: Route Suggestions from Northern AZ to the Olympic Peninsula
Got it... given the choice, we'll always bag out of the CA route. It's a slog. Straight up 15 to 84. It's smooth, enough traffic and people but still moves decently and nothing desolate. For a nicer drive, I'd break off to 82 and 90, but you could cut into Portland and up 5...a bit shorter. Enjoy. Personally, can't stand freeways.975Views0likes1CommentRe: Truck camper or 5th wheel in the PNW
We boat... but traveling to always new areas with a boat just doesn't work for us. Time has taught us that we prefer boating/fishing in areas we know. I seriously don't want to learn how to fish an area every time I show up. So, we tour without. Fish and play in our home area. With that, we travel extensively with our truck camper, couple months at a time usually. But we tow a support trailer that carries Kayaks, bikes and motorcycle(s). And lot's of water. To each their own... I'd start camping with a rental. Seriously. Try a couple of things out, see what they are like, what you enjoy. We own a 5th wheel...absolutely love it for working out of. Wouldn't travel or camp out of it every again. Can't stand it. RV's; they are not all the same, and everyone is different. Don't try and talk yourself into something. Or let others. Which is whey I suggest renting, even if for only a few nights. You'll know real quick things you like and those that you can't stand.

Describe your definition of "long, desolate"... it really does make a difference in the answers. Does getting off an Interstate qualify, or? There are a hundred ways to see some great sites along that route. Is time an issue? Is anywhere that has decent cell service acceptable?981Views0likes3CommentsWildsam....where's my refund?
I personally think it outright sucks; praise seems to be lacking for it, so I suspect I'm not alone here, hence my belief that it's not doing well. I've emailed twice looking for my refund, because that's not the magazine that we subscribed to. No response yet. Who are we supposed to contact at Good Sam to get this taken care of?Solved666Views0likes2CommentsRe: New gas stations everywhere
Awesome; to the point, and crystal clear. This utopiaian dream of some of our elected leaders, that we'll be rid of ICE vehicles in 5, 10, even 20 years, and the fact that so many buy this as a realistic goal, is sad. Reality, facts, common sense...always getting in the way2.1KViews1like1CommentRe: New gas stations everywhere

Sounds like Ford figured out that they don't have to play the game. None of the EV's are "competitive" it one removes the tax incentives/government subsidies. Every heard of the term ROI? It drives business, as it should.1.3KViews1like9CommentsRe: New gas stations everywhere
"Hard to believe anyone believes that EV’s are going away" Might just be me, but no where did I read, nor interpret, that anyone thinks EV's are disappearing. Conversation is about growth, expansion, and direction. You know, reality. ICE will be here for much longer than utopia dreamers spout...1.2KViews1like0Comments
