It's basically 3 sections of X-pen that's 42" and one section under the rig that's 36". My daughter's Golden Retreiver and Puggle were fine in there, but I wouldn't let them out by themselves. There are definitely parks that don't allow pet fences and that's just the way it is. But many, many more allow them in my experience than don't.Re: fifth wheel gas stopsMost Flying J's have a RV lane in front with Gas & Diesel. That would be my go to.

Wondering if I need to keep water in the fresh water holding tank for any reason other than, I might need water to drink or flush a toilet in an emergency. But today I struck camp to head home from my first trip out with out new cougar 5th wheel. We were only a few hours drive from how and I was thinking of draining the 60 gallon tank for the drive home. Is there a reason for priming the water pumps of other that I should or should not completely drain? We full time. We keep at least ¼ in ours at all time when we're at a park. There have always been times that the park shuts down the water to work on it and we need water. We do make sure it's "kind of fresh" in that we dump it every time we get to a park and refill it a bit.Re: South Dakota License RenewalIf you're just renewing the plates (new stickers), doing it online is about as minimal as you can get: $0.Re: South Dakota License Renewal SGTJOE wrote: How far ahead does South Dakota send out license renewals? Mine is due end of Sept. This is through Americas Mail Box. Are you talking about your driver's license or your license plates? Driver's License can be renewed up to 6 months prior to your brith date. You get one five year "grand father" where you don't have to go in and get new pics. You still have to spend one night in state (save your receipt). License plates can be renewed at https://sdcars.org You can set a reminder there. We're America's Mailbox people, also, but we do everything at that website. They send stickers and/or plates. Those can be renewed up to 90 days prior and 30 days after expiration. Hope that helps.Re: cleaning the awningWe've had really good luck with Tilex.
