Thanks folks. We ended up booking at Canaan Valley Resort Campground south of Davis WV. It ticked all of our camping needs/wants boxes and also our riding friends boxes who were looking for hotel type accommodations. We appreciate everyone's responses.472Views0likes0CommentsElkins West Virginia
Planning to camp for a week somewhere near Elkins WV in late May. Looking for recommendations for clean, quiet RV Campgrounds with hookups, 30 amp is fine, water hookup preferred, and a sewer hookup or least a dump station, a clean bathroom with showers and good WiFi. Not a necessity but if it has a pool, that would be a treat. The rest doesn't matter as we'll be out riding our motorcycles all day long and don't really need or care about other amenities. Also, the Canaan Resort State Park facility popped up in our search. It looks intriguing especially since our friends prefer more civil accommodations over camping. Does anyone know about Canaan or have you stayed there? Thanks in advance.1.6KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Sealing my TC's EPDM Roof

This makes perfect sense although YouTube has many "how-to" videos so I thought perhaps I am missing out on something important that everyone does and is something for me to consider doing. Confused as I became, I called the FraserwayRV Cookstown ON dealer (designated Adventurer TC dealer) where we bought our new-to-us 2007 TC unit in 2014 and here's what the Service Writer told me. The EPDM roof should last the lifetime of our TC if taken care of. Of course "lifetime" is subject to interpretation. He said the most important things are to keep it clean of organic debris, environmental sooting and heavy dirt, inspect it regularly and, stay on top of maintenance (like lap sealing around vents, re-caulking seams etc. as needed and performing spot repairs i.e. repairing rips, punctures etc. as discovered). I told him we have one small (1/2 sq. ft.) corner area where the top EDPM layer seems to have come loose from the underneath decking. There are no tears, holes or separation evident on the sides of this "looseness". He said not to worry as this is not unusual and likely due to less glue used in that specific spot. He added it was not uncommon for them to see larger rubber roof sections on RV's being loose because of a lack of glue and his advice is to leave it alone unless it is compromised and causing problems like a leak. For ours, he also advised if the rubber fabric was otherwise whole, undamaged and not deteriorating, to also leave the loose area alone. For all I know it could have been like this for years and I just noticed it recently. Thanks All for responding and I hope this additional information is also useful.919Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sealing my TC's EPDM Roof
Thanks for the link but not really the answer to the questiohn I'm asking. Let me try it a different way. I have a 15 year old roof that is in good shape. Once clenaup up(annually), it looks very good. I see no "black" spots bleeding through. I'd like to seal the roof with a good product designed to help protect it and hopefully, extend it's life. What are the better products out there, for this purpose, that people have used with success.108Views0likes0CommentsSealing my TC's EPDM Roof
I tried searching for a thread using every combination of words I could think of with no real luck. I want to seal my EPDM roof with the best product based on people's experiences. I keep my 2007 TC's roof clean and it is in good shape for it's age but I feel it's time to put a protective coat on it. I've spent hours on YouTube reviewing clips spouting the merits of all of the usual suspects (Dicor 2-part system, Flex Seal, Henry Silicone RV roof sealant, others etc.) More confused now than ever. Any recommendations based on first hand experience/ or can you direct me to a thread where this has been already thoroughly covered. Thanks.6.2KViews0likes19CommentsRV Campgrounds near Athens OH
We have a trip planned with our truck camper set-up next month and we'd like to find an RV campground near Athens Ohio as we have friends staying at the Ohio University Inn & Conference Center in Athens. Just 2 mature adults travelling ... no kids so not interested in a busy Yogi Bear type campground. We'll be touring the Windy 9 on our motorcycles all day so quiet at night, clean shower/restroom facilities and a bit of nature/privacy would be great. A pool would be an appreciated but not necessary bonus. Any suggestions?2KViews0likes4Comments
