Re: Fiberglass roofs
We sold our 1975 American Clipper 2 years ago. My dad bought it new in 75, & I bought it from him in 85. It came with a fiberglass roof and was still in fair condition when we sold it. We had friends with TPO & rubber roofs who had issues within 8-10 years. That was enough to convince me that fiberglass is a better option. When we were looking for a RV to full time in, my first criteria was a fiberglass roof.663Views0likes0CommentsRe: Costs in Canada

Beautiful BC has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world in most every part of the province. Oh well, we don't need someone with that attitude in BC anyway! :B By the way we also enjoy many other parts of Canada and the US. This is the absolute truth. We've been in every western and most central US states, including BC, Alberta, Yukon Territories and Alaska. British Columbia has some of the most spectacular forests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls and coastline as anywhere in N America. We're going back to Alaska this summer in convoy with friends, and we are trying to convince them to go up Cassier Highway.460Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2016 Subaru Forester dingy
I absolutely loved my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Limited turbo, and would have been happy to keep it forever. However, it only had a little over 4" of ground clearance. I wanted a 2013 Subaru Outback, with leather, climate control, a sunroof and a 6 speed trans, so I could tow it behind our MH. In all their wisdom, Subaru decided they would only sell the fully loaded vehicles (leather, sunroof etc) with their new CVT (constant velocity transmission), which isn't tow-able. I called them and asked if they would build one to my specs. They refused, so I ended up buying a 2013 Honda CRV, with leather, sunroof, climate control and the ground clearance I needed. Now the Honda has virtually the same CVT, and isn't towable. I really believe Subaru made a huge mistake. I would have paid extra to have a Subaru. The Honda is OK, but it certainly isn't a Subaru.334Views0likes0CommentsRe: Park City, UT options?
25 minutes West of Park City in SLC there are two campgrounds.KOA & Pony Express. 20 minutes east of Park City, just east of Woodland is a great campground under the name of Retrailia. Right on the Provo river with great sites and lots of critters. Both areas give you lots of different things to see.345Views0likes0CommentsRe: Park City, UT options?

The Escapees club is a wonderful very inexpensive organization to join, and you will never find friendlier more devoted RVers anywhere. We've only been members for 18 months, but will continue to join for as long as we drive. Just outside of Temecula CA is undoubtably the most beautiful campground we've stayed in. They had no vacany in the sites, so we "boondocked" for $5 dollars a night. The average price of a campground in that area is $45-65 a night. We are domiciled in SD, but joined Escapees because of the savings. We won't give them up. Wonderful orginization. Check the tax and registration advantages of Texas, Florida and South Dakota before you make your decision.489Views0likes0CommentsRe: Olympian wave catalytic heaters
We've used an Olympian Wave 6 for the last 7 years in two RVs. Wonderful way to heat without all of the noise and battery draw of the furnace. My S/O is a worrywart and won't even leave a toaster or space heater plugged in when not is use, so we don't use it unless we're awake and need it. That said, the CO alarm has never gone off while it was in use. I find it amusing that so many RVers worry about "oxygen depletion". I've yet to find a RV that didn't leak cold air from one place or many places, and we've been RVing for 48 years.676Views0likes0CommentsRe: Full time/South Dakota insurance question.
We decided to use SD as our domicile too. What we found was that if you will be traveling constantly, you can't use a medicare "advantage" plan. We went with Humana on our part "D" and have used it in AZ and UT without any problems.869Views0likes0CommentsRe: Route 60/93 Az & Nv
We travel 93 from Ariz to Mesquite and back frequently. I hate going through Las Vegas because of the traffic. A few years ago we started turning up NV169 before we got to Boulder City. It takes you along Lake Mead and is a very scenic road. I think it takes about a half hour longer because it's a much slower, curvier road, but it helps with my sanity. If you've got the time, try it!139Views0likes0Comments
